Calvin smelled the woman more than he sensed her approach. He turned his head to look over his shoulder as she approached, yellow eyes gleaming in the dream-moonlight. He wasn't sure what it was about her presence that calmed him. Maybe just the fact that there was another human being here - someone for him to protect maybe.
Calvin wondered if she was what was stalking him, but she didn't approach from the same direction that Dawn Wind seemed fixated on. Calvin noticed the slight flick of the wolf's ears that signaled he knew of her approach as well. Dawn Wind didn't see her as a threat - or at least as an immediate one.
"It's not safe here."
Calvin warned her and he sensed irritation coming from Dawn Wind at that. He had ignored the same warning only moments before.
Dawn Wind sent more images - claws and teeth - reminding Calvin that he was unarmed. His clothing shifted into a knight's armor with a broadsword - what a weird thing. It was bulky, made Calvin look stupid, and he didn't like it. He thought more carefully this time and shifted into leather jerkin. A bow materialized in his hand as a quiver and some daggers did on his person.
Dawn Wind growled loudly and Calvin could hear whatever it was approaching. "What is it?"
Calvin sent the question to Dawn Wind, but said it aloud also for the woman's benefit.
"Nightmare..."
"A nightmare...
Calvin repeated and nocked an arrow to the bowstring. It would arrive soon. He only hoped the woman was ready.
