"Your scent is off," the wolf said.
"Me?" you say, "What do you mean?"
"You really have no clue about wolves, do you?"
You stumble around your next words. Maybe you should just stay silent. It would be better, but this wolf is eying you. Her eyes are suspicious. As you stand, you realize she's threatening you. You may not know much about wolves and their body language, but it is clear with the violent expression in her eyes.
"I don't do that kind of stuff." you say.
"What stuff?" the wolf said, "I'd be careful with your next words."
"I am not a naturalist and I never planned to be one," you say.
"Don't insult me," the wolf said, "and don't make it worse for yourself. Speak up."
She howls. You shudder. The howls were supposed to be beautiful, according to the Naturalists. They just served as a wild taunt, or maybe they were to call other officers. As your eyes survey everything around you, you see multiple other wolves all standing around you.
"You do not appear to be a citizen," she said, "we would've smelled it on you."
"You're eerie," you say.
"Eerie?" she said.
"You smell me?" you said, "You know who I am by my scent?"
A polite smile lines her face. Maybe it's just a taunt. This is before she turns to her officers. They all swarm around her, ready for her next orders. A slight nod signals action. Many guns all point towards your head. You're just not used to so many animals who have the best aim.
"On the ground," she says.
"What?" you say.
"You're under arrest," she says.
"For a few comments?" you say.
"Don't make this worse for yourself," she says, "my dogs would be glad to play with their toys if they get the chance."
You glance at the guns. There's no way out. After a long hard swallow, you realize how the wolf is serious. Her gaze only helps to make you feel worse. You comply with her orders, though worried about what might happen. You are on the ground, with your hands lifted.
The satisfied smile on the wolf's face only serves to make you feel worse.
