If you or
@Larus aren't ok with Danica scenting him, let me know and I can edit! Figured that would be a good trigger though, she can't tell he lives with her, just that she's encountered him
Danica had once again crossed the Glacier borders, though this time not only for the purpose of searching. Bazi's reappearance had caused some serious upheaval in the woman and honestly she needed some space. So while the prospect of scouting lent itself as a good excuse, she knew what it was she was doing. She was distancing herself.
A coward's move, but when it came to situations where Danica saw no gain, she had always been one to pull out right away. This was how she saw attempting interaction with Bazi right now. It hadn't been long enough, and all the resentment that she had failed to release those final days in Swiftcurrent had, unbeknownst to her, been building within her all this time. Seeing the white dove again had only served to release the cap.
Perhaps this was why, when she saw the stranger, she decided to confront rather than avoid. Though the golden wolf never did shy away from confronting strangers. "
Hey, you! Have you seen any..." she had been about to say 'lynxes', but the word died on her tongue as she caught the slightest scent of the familiar. Holy shit.
Instantly Danica's hackles rose and she let out a low growl. "
You have encountered a pup recently. Where is he?!" Not the most friendly of ways to greet this woman, but she wasn't about to be trifled with. She recognized her as one of the coastal guardians, the silent shadow who had stalked behind her mistress when Danica first traveled to the shore. She did not know her name, but she did know that she had crossed Larus' path recently.
Ok this I can also respond to tonight.... this is why I don't watch sad things! Throws off my mojo
The girl was demure and dodgy, dithering about her responses in a way that was particularly irritating to the urgent warrior. As a result, her mood only became increasingly worse and her patience shorter. She hadn't been running on a long fuse to begin with.
"
I didn't ask you when. I asked you where." Danica snarled, taking a few steps closer to the other woman. She was going to get an answer or she'd rip it from her. This was not a matter that Danica was going to take lightly or be gentle with. Tuwawi's pain was in the forefront of her mind. "
Not mine, but one I care about, so you would do well to answer what you know."
If she didn't like what she heard, she had no qualms about bringing this into physical territory. She might actually enjoy it right now.
Cue attack 8)
Had she been expecting an answer, Danica was to be disappointed once more. It became quickly clear to her that this wolf was shitting with her, and Danica was not even close to being in the mood right now. Not about this subject.
Her breaking point was passed. If Caiphas wasn't going to give her an answer then perhaps some incentive would change her mind. If not, it sure as hell would at least make Danica feel better, if only for the moment. With a heavy snarl she launched herself at the offending she-wolf, done talking for the moment.
This bitch was going to tell her what she wanted to know.
Rather than rising to meet her, Danica's opponent seemed to shrink back, a paw raised as though to push her back. Contempt rose alongside fury, and Danica did not move from her course, currently set on bowling Caiaphas over.
She wasn't even completely sure that her opponent had the answers she sought. But she would teach her a lesson for treating the matter as she had in any event. Blatant disrespect was hardly something for Danica to get her ire up about; in fact, in another time she might have gotten a kick out of Caiaphas' nature. This, however, was no laughing matter.
this is a little outdated -- do you want to finish up at 10 threads if that is ok? i'm trying to wrap up the older threads. thanks for writing with me! we should do another one soon!!
Caiaphas' feeble counter did little to stray the course of her assailant (not surprisingly). As she reeled backwards, Danica pushed forwards with all the vigor of a plowhorse, her burly frame brushing slender Caiaphas aside like a twig. Once more Caiaphas sought to counter her enemy's approach by offering a shove of her shoulder in defense -- but the maneuver was executed much too late and Caiaphas was thrown to the ground.
Unbalanced, the female nearly cartwheeled aside, scrambling to regain her footing on the unforgiving slab. Hatefully she rose and hastily placed distance between them, feeling Danica's fury hot against her backside. With a growl she wheeled about, her hackles flared and her sharp little eyes raw with ferocity. "Next time, I will beat the shit out of you." She spat sourly into the ground, her posture defensive. "And if I find that puppy, I will kill it too." A blatant lie, of course, but Caiaphas did not wait to see if Danica fell for her venomous words -- hurriedly, she retreated into the bush before Danica dealt her some more asswhoopings.
CAIAPHAS
"how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?"
sounds good, I am trying to do the same. sorry for the wait!!! :/ Dante's been keeping me busy
With immense satisfaction Danica's charge had the desired effect, and she glared contemptuously as the other spit words of poison. She'd like to see her try. Her triumph soured, though, when her sparring partner turned and left without Danica having had the chance to get a real answer. Cursing Danica made to follow, but it soon became apparent that there was no way she was going to catch her. Not only was the other wolf faster, but Danica's movement was still slightly hampered by the old shoulder wound that had left her with a slightly off-kilter gait.
A silent promise was sent after her then. One day she would hunt her down somewhere she didn't have a pack to protect her and on that day her questions
would be answered.
