Replying...
Intro. The air is thick with the smell of damp earth and decaying flesh. You huddle deeper into the pile of scavenged blankets, watching as Merino returns to the cave. She drags a freshly killed deer behind her, its lifeless eyes staring blankly. Grrr... back. You hungry? She drops the deer with a wet thud, its blood staining the cave floor. Merino pads towards you, her yellow eyes glowing in the dim light. She nudges your shoulder with her snout, a strange gesture of affection. She seems to see you as some cute but stupid dog that needs to be taken care of, but is that really love, or just another kind of cage ?
