Stone Circle Nose to the Ground

"OW!"

Pulling his head back to rub it against his shoulder, he soon lifted a paw to bat at his own face. Rather than a given apology, his maw quickly snapped back to the stranger with blazing eyes and a raised tail as he got in their face. He blamed them. He grumbled in discomfort. "What the hell!?"

With a step forward, his nose immediately inhaled the stranger's scent. Her origins were entirely unknown to him until he'd gotten a lick of her scent up his nose. Then she was no rogue. Some kid. Snorting, he got close to her face before rearing his head away with a look of spite, and some mild questioning. Questioning that came out verbally while he looked her up and down inquisitively, huffing out his throat quickly. "Who are you?"

Had he been wrong? Was THIS Taktuq and he had the brain of an old wrinkle bag?
