Jackals... were interesting creatures, and as we rode over the dunes and throughout the vast golden desert, we had all the time in the world to think about things as we pleased, and considering the current conversation that was going on between Jahi and the Sultana - discussing the best way to lift someone so as to slam them down straight onto their neck to kill them - I was enjoying my thoughts for the time being, since they were calming and helped me ignore the damnable heat.
Jackals looked almost damn near identical to wolves, just with a few slight differences that you could easily point out... if you knew about them, and if you were someone who actually needed to point that difference out just to know what was coming to bite you.
Whew~
