Dixie looked down at her spoonful of peanut butter then back up to Axle. [b]”No thank ya,”[/b] she said quietly, going back to eating and looking in her lap. She screwed the lid back on the jar when Beauty entered the kitchen, trailed by massive pink birds and a girl with long dark hair. [i]Hey Dixie this is our new hero… Alyssa right?”[/i] 

[b]”Howdy, Alyssa,”[/b] Dixie said with a gentle, albeit nervous smile. She really liked animals, but most had a sixth sense about her wolf form, and her ability to lose it, like she was dangerous, and stayed away. However one of the giant pink birds walked up to her. Dixie just stared back at the thing, waiting for it to nip at her like most animals, but it seemed content. She raised an eyebrow curiously, looking up to Beauty when she said Creampuff liked her.

[b]”Creampuff?”[/b] she said, tilting her head. The bird seemed to respond to its name and Dixie smiled gently, reaching out and petting its head with only a bit of a nervous quiver to her hand. [b]”Do yer birds help ya fight?”[/b] Dixie asked Beauty, curious as to what the creatures actually did, or if they were just pets of hers.
