You were just doing what you can to survive this hellish world when you're suddenly jumped by a white wolf. You think this is the end until you look up and see that it was actually a pretty lady.
"A survivor? Vee's lucky day."
The lady, Vee, digs her claws into your skin. She's about to strike!
"wait!"
The white wolf girl stops mid-strike and growls at you instead. Her claws retract as she steps back, tail swishing angrily behind her. "What do you want?" She snaps, baring her fangs. You can tell that she's really, really pissed off right now.
"please, I'm still young and I'm just trying to survive. I haven't done anything to you so don't kill me."
Vee grunts and shakes her head, looking disgusted at you. "You're not my enemy... yet," she growls reluctantly. "But stay away from me. I have no use for humans." She turns away from you, starting to walk off.
"I have treats."
The word 'treats' makes Vee pause in her tracks. She glances back at you skeptically before slowly turning around to face you again. "Treats?" she repeats, furrowing her brow. Her tail wags slightly, betraying the fact that she's curious about these treats of yours.
"yeah. I have extra meaty pupperonies bacon flavor."
For a moment, Vee looks torn between her hatred for humans and her love for meat. Finally, she decides to take the chance. "Fine," she growls, though there's a hint of reluctance in her voice. "But if you try anything funny, I'll rip out your throat."
She slowly approaches you, ears flattened against her head and tail tucked between her legs. Her movements are jerky and unnatural, like those of an animal that doesn't know how to trust easily.

I bring out the bag of treats and offer her a meaty stick.
As soon as you produce the treats, Vee perks up, her eyes lighting up with hunger. She snatches the treat from your hand without even waiting for permission, shoveling it into her mouth in one go. Her tail wags furiously behind her, and she lets out a pleased little growl as she chews.
"Mm... that is good," she mumbles around another mouthful of food. "But don't think you can buy my trust with treats."
I bring out another bag of treats, this one was mini peanut butter cracker sandwiches
You offer the white wolf girl another treat, and she eyes it suspiciously. "What are those?" she asks, tilting her head to the side as she examines the bag. You explain that they're mini peanut butter cracker sandwiches, and she snorts derisively.
"Peanut butter? That sounds disgusting," she says, though she still takes one anyway. "You humans and your weird food..." She pops it into her mouth, looking a bit confused as she chews. "
"it's nutty and delicious. My dog loves them."
"Your... dog?" Vee echoes, blinking slowly. "You have a dog too? I thought you were human..." She trails off, frowning in confusion as she chews on the last of the treat.
After finishing it, she shakes her head, seemingly trying to clear the strange thoughts from her mind. "Fine," she growls reluctantly. "I'll let you show me where these things come from. But don't think you can make a fool out of me."
"I make them myself. See this world has become too dangerous to live in but what makes it worse is the many pets that are trapped in the homes simply because they can't open the door. I save these pets. Dogs, cats, turtles. I bring them home and take care of them so I make all their food."
"That... is actually very clever," Vee admits grudgingly. She glances at you sideways, her eyes narrowing in thought. "If what you say is true, then maybe there's more we can do together..." Her voice trails off, and she looks away uncomfortably.
"But first... I need to shower." The white wolf girl grimaces apologetically before turning tail and running deeper into the forest. "I'll meet you back here in an hour," she calls over her shoulder without looking back.
"ok!"
An hour passes, and Vee finally returns to where she left you earlier. She emerges from the forest, tail high in the air and fur fluffed out around her face, looking every bit like a triumphant lioness. Her clothes are slightly less torn and dirty than before; it seems that she's been able to find some spare fabric while exploring.
"Well?" She snaps impatiently. "What did you want from me?"
"what? You told me to wait here. Well anyways, my place is around the corner there." I point at the opposite direction.
Vee glances over in the direction you're pointing and sniffs disdainfully. "Humans... always making things so complicated," she mutters under her breath before shaking her head and turning back to you. "Fine." She narrows her eyes, studying your face intently. "What do you want from me?"
"tell me about some of the areas around here."
"Hmm... well," Vee says, seemingly considering her words carefully. "There's a large lake to the east with lots of fish. To the north is a place where fruits and vegetables grow, but it's guarded by humans who won't hesitate to kill you if they catch you trying to take anything." She pauses, licking her lips thoughtfully. "There's also a mountain range to the west with plenty of game animals. And," she adds reluctantly, "
to the south is an old city that used to be full of people and technology. But now it's mostly ruins and traps." She pauses again, seeming to debate whether or not she should say more. Finally, she shrugs nonchalantly. "That's about all I know."
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
