a thousand teeth, and yours among them

[size=small]The impression the Ostrega had managed or not to leave for the rare hybrid in front of her was none of Cara's concern or interest. She knew very well that despite their importance, sometimes impressions were misleading. Hadn't se been the one, after all, to instigate the male only to bat her eyelashes at him once he retailated with growls of his own? While this would have certainly placed the label of 'maneater' above her head, Cara had never displayed any real interest for the russet Ostrega.
On the same note, he had never displayed anything similar to what he had shown her the first time they had crossed paths.

Besides, if they were to rule their behaviors by first impressions alone, the raggedy creature of oddly patterned features wouldn't be so pleasantly dealt with.
"I am" she affirmed, her voice carrying the confidence of a person who stated that the sky is blue. But again, the sky wasn't always blue.

While her objective answer was just what the faker's subjective question deserved there was no concrete way of determinating this as real or not. As many times as she had proved her tenacity and perseverance to haul the pack from the depths it had fallen to, she had also added salt to the wound by letting this same fierceness run unmeasured.
