A scream broke through the air, disturbing Ariun's meal. Raising his lupine head, the werewolf stopped feasting on the dear that was the result of a long hunt, blood matting the copper fur of his muzzle. It didn't sound like it belonged to any creature he knew of. Only human females ever screeched like that. Abandoning his food, the oversized wolf started off in the direction of the sound, not sure if there was cause for alarm. As the wind shifted however, it brought the metallic scent of blood. Human blood, much different from that of the stag he had killed.<br/>After hearing another screech however, Ariun broke into a run, making his way towards the sound as fast as he could, soon finding himself looking down a small ridge at a thief pointing a knife menacingly at a young woman.<br/>A low and threatening growel eminated from his throat, attracting the attention from the batndit and the lady. The bandit's eyes widened to an abnormal size once he spotted the  incredibly large wolf, turning his dagger towards the beast, his hands shaking. The blade did not worry Ariun however, as steel weapons did little to hurt his kind. With a feral snarl, he leapt upon the bandit and tore at his body with tooth and nail, causing the human to cry out in pain before falling silent.<br/>Getting off the bandit's body, Ariun moved towards the woman slowly, trying not to make sudden movements to scare her. He would have told her to stay calm, but that would require him to shift, and that would probably scare her even more. Instead, he just approached her and sat before her, hoping that he'd appear friendly enough.
