She used the weight of her body to add momentum to her sudden lurch forward, her last limb coming free almost in the same instant the male hailed her. "Well, hello there, sweet pea," Cypher greeted him, shaking the mud off each hind leg in turn. He was standing tall, proud, but she had no attachments to him and didn't see the point of posturing one's status in lands unclaimed. She was relaxed as she took him in, noting his size and rugged looks; He's been in a fight or two. Still, this didn't concern her in the least-- he'd no reason to attack her, and she didn't plan on giving him one.

"Know your way around this mess?" she questioned, looking at the slough around them. As to the other female, Cypher didn't notice her by either sight or smell; the scent of peat and muck was overwhelming, here.
