While the blood had been washed from the shores from the two day's rain, the gore and rotting carcasses of the sea lions remained as well as scattered faint traces of shit watered down into the sand. It was that bitch...the one Hua, Tzila and her had chased off with ease. Her piss and shit was rank enough amidst the shores that Minori took a moment to stand there, breathing deeply and envisioning the ways she'd mark up that young beauty as punishment for her foolishness. Once the anger burned out she rubbed her scent amongst the rocks knowing that the scent of milk and fertility far outweighed that of a petty she wolf's feces. Just for pleasure she lifted a leg and released a full bladder upon the sand smirking to herself as she lifted seafoam eyes to look about in case someone watched knowing to always be observant. 

As she finished peeing she dropped her leg. The habit was one she'd taken back in her homeland, when she won the challenge to take over the army after her father as well as the throne to the pack. It was a physicaly display of prowess....but that was so long ago that she was a little embarrassed when she saw the beast of a wolfdog, recognizeable from their fight and the fact that the man was mentioned around Yuelong with the woman who'd left this mess. Studying him with seafoam eyes flared wide she arched her tail like a flag though the rest of her posture remained surprisingly calm "If you want that young girl of yours she left this wasteful mess days ago" her tone was sour, eyeing the destroyed remnants of what had been the best tasting prey of her life. How many had the she wolf managed to slaughter or wound badly enough to die in the sea somewhere? Knowing how many pregnant she wolves there were Minori saw it as an especially unforgiveable act.  "She has started something that very well might earn her consequences. Are you able to understand our anger? It's the season, this land is rich with prey to nourish growing children. Other packs claim hunting grounds, was it wrong for us?" she asked him bold but more curious as to the mysterious villain's place amongst all this. Remembering how the young woman had called for him upon their approach before turning tail and running when he hadn't shown she only knew of what she'd rushed into to rescue Aoilos. The General was curious about this beast who had her leader so tense and studying his expression he didn't seem hostile but rather surprised and wary of her presence. It was almost flattering, had she really made that much of an impression or was it Yuelong as a whole? 

Her eyes never left his face studying his expression as he spoke and deeming him genuine. The woman was reckless and acted on her own whims despite apparently allying herself with this man. Minori had no idea what Hua's plans were nor did she know much of anything happening behind the scenes except for the reports from Takara that everyone was leaving the island more frequently and their Empress had seemed angry. To her surprise the hint of a threat she gave was met with a response that was sheerly logical and though he returned the threat saying he'd defend her and others with him Yuelong's General could find no fault in the declaration. "I don't know if the others know about this. I personally don't feel inclined to report it" her eyes scanned the waste of meat and she walked with a confident gait, her eyes sliding back to his for a moment checking to ensure he'd stay where he was before she began to sniff at the meat. Her tail began to wag slowly as she found a good deal of it salvageable though it would need to be eaten soon. "This is such a waste" she hummed and lifted her head turning to look at him "Are you hungry? Take some with you at least otherwise it will rot. The rest will come home with me" she stuck her muzzle into the carcass and ripped free a chunk of rich meat for herself, stepping back while chewing to let the man approach the food if he so desired.

The man was quite forthcoming as he explained information that she lacked though she was quick to correct the twitching of her ears. His pack and theirs were in bad terms...she wasn't surprised at that but rather the way he seemed unfazed by the idea of her stirring more trouble up. Consequences...the man seemed to understand them and she wondered what drove him to act the way she'd witnessed once more. Joining him by the carcass she stood at ease as she shared the meal glancing up at his question and considering it before deciding that a name wouldn't do much harm against her. "Minori. Yours?" there was a slight softening to the stern and soldier-like demeanor as she gave him a faint smile trying not to let the thought circling her brain get to her. Talking to a potential enemy over a friendly meal...it wasn't like her to speak before attacking and she wasn't sure if she was proud of herself or appalled by how soft she'd turned.

While he was musing over her kindness she was doing the same. With all the problems between their packs she knew Hua would have been pissed to catch this scenario. Minori would have been pissed and looked down on anyone else doing it normally. So why was she sitting here trying to have a pleasant conversation, trying to figure out what exactly this massive, intimidating man's deal was. His co leader was an impulsive, young, hotheaded woman who would only further the problems between Yuèlóng and The Saints and she'd met him while he looked pretty intent on ripping Aiolos's throat out. "Well...today it is nice to see you" she grabbed another chunk of Sea Lion and chewed her thoughts drifting back to Takara and her children and drifted to the various other children she knew lived on the island. "Maybe you don't but I'm the General in Yuèlóng" she took another bite and chewed thoughtfully "I have children now....I think that I would rather we not start fighting with other packs right now" she swallowed and then stood up looking around at the other scattered torn carcasses. "and not everyone who does bad is bad" she mused outloud thinking back to Higoro and how he'd changed, Cry and Shadewood keep..how it had almost caused the darkness in her to fester and spoil. 

"This is just the way of life"

Fighting. Offense and Defense. Disputes. It was often how life turned itself upside down wherever she went. Minori had know this since she was a child, been prepared to lead her pack toward victory through strength and force her entire life. Yet...why did it feel so unescessary. She'd fought wolves who hadn't deserved it, she'd assaulted people in fact...but she wasn't a terrible person. She'd made mistakes and that day fighting him off of Aiolos....perhaps was just one of his. "If I judged you based on one fight and the wolf you chose to lead with you then i'd have to judge myself accordingly and I'd be terrible too" she wasn't hungry any more but began to try and work the carcass apart with her teeth to bring a good chunk of the rich meat back to Takara and leave the rest for the pack's caches. Pausing she spoke again calculating her words carefully "I didn't attack you because I have to keep myself healthy and you are...impressive to say the least. You very much could have gone for me with everything that's been done."  there it was again. Kind words poured from her maw as she regarded the brute with thoughtfulness instead of venom. Dealing with the downfall of her life because of her horrible actions and those of others had brought her to the point where she wanted more from life than violence and negativity. "You seem to be smart yourself. Yuelong has the strength to do damage regardless of how many children and mothers we have. Wherever your pack is now...as advice from someone who isn't trying to tear your throat's out, stay far from Yuelong. Do not come close to our beaches. It isn't fair for me to say that but I can't promise anyone else in my pack will think before they act" She looked him in the eyes her voice softening just a touch, she didn't want him to take offense to it as if it were a threat. It was just becoming more deeply imbedded into her mind that she did not support continuing to have issues with these wolves anymore. 

Seafoam eyes slowly dropped to the smile on his lips and she felt a stir remembering Cry and Corvus...both brilliant lovers in different ways. Shoving the thought from her minf she stood taller and lifted her ears though the posturing was somewhat playful as she added a swish of her tail and there was a small glimmer of humor in her stern eyes "where I was born unless in a war calling for backup against one opponent is dishonorable. I would die on the beach if you'd have or I'd have won and you'd be free to go home" she spoke calmly and fell silent heeding the increase of intensity that was brought to his expression. Her eyes betrayed nothing but his words sank in deep...her thoughts strayed to the gentle Hua compare to the savage warrior she'd become as of late and she shook her head. Her family was Takara and their children, Orochi if he'd listen to sense and Deku...wherever he was if he lived. "If it comes down to that my family will not partake. If you do not hurt me, my wife or my children we leave it to Yuelong" disgraceful or not she wasn't willing to lose everything again including potentially her life. "That is all I can say about myself. I cannot speak for my alpha. She doesn't talk to me about any of it anyway aside from what I need to know" her own eyes became intense staring into his as if daring him to say something rejecting her personal peace offer. The Matsuyo family would not be harming Donovan's wolves if she had anything to do about it and she was certain Takara would rather steal away their children and take off then stay for a war. 

It was good that he was quick to make sure she knew his words were a joke because her lip had curled over her fangs eyes and eyes turned shrewd though it was fast to change back as he nudged her. He had the paws of a bear and even the nudge would have probably moved a smaller wolf...what kind of canine lay mixed within the wild? He moved on and she smiled relieved that she'd not have to worry about her family-

"What else would I be in your sights for?" 

Seafoam eyes and expression spoke of genuine naivety, that much having not changed with her few lovers. Everything he said was...more than logical. Even Cry hadn't had her considering life this much. "Why be one?" She murmured softly thinking of all the time she was wasting working for the island when it was spiralling toward a place she'd not want to be in for long. 

Minori was not too naive to understand that the smile was one a man gave the target of his desires. Instead of bristling she regarded him with a nuetral expression trying to figure out why compliments from a man who probably was someone she'd set fangs to had her heart racing. She was flattered......the man was as charming as a cobra before it struck but her lips curled upward and her response was filled with humor instead of snarl "So my wife says" she emphasized the word wife, she was a taken woman even if the image of the large man placing his forelegs around her waist and pulling her in did some familiar and long missed things to her belly. 

Focusing instead on Hua and Yuelong she nodded "I didn't know this side of her existed until now" she mused before sighing and returning to finish the work of seperating the carcass between the two of them. "I should get back. Bring food to the other mothers. Feed my wife. Have a nice day Donovan" she was quick to pick up the Carcass and be on her way though her tail swayed behind her, a silent display of satisfaction with the odd interaction.
