Bearclaw Valley Safety first.

Things that were false, untrue, were easily seen through if you knew how to look passed the mask. No matter how securely in place it was, everyone found a way to slip up and make a mistake, showing the true intentions that hid below. Kove, however, was too caught up in the albino's words to have paid much mind to it. It was clear something was amiss, but the whole situation seemed to be that way. False grief and untrue words of a murderer. Had he been interrogating the male as he'd done Star, he probably would have caught those things, but that wasn't how it was going. No, instead, his mind was closed off to such a thing as he stood staring down an enemy, acting as some guard dog rather than giving the situation an entire examination. His ears pressed further against his skull as he heard her speak of shaking the male up, and a moment prior she'd mentioned him being murdered if he did not leave. Hearing things like that come from her normally so kind mouth was off, but he didn't question it. Things were changing, that was clear, and he believed it was for the better. Just as long as any aggressive behavior and cruel words were reserved for trespassers and enemies alone, he saw no problem.

When the command was given to chase the man out of the valley, Kove watched as Arthur took a swing at him, and then the Roman lunged towards him. The pallid male was never one to attack first, but to keep both Scarlett and his home safe, he would make an exception. He moved forward, ears back and teeth bared, then snapped at the intruder's legs. It was a simple thing, and would never cause as much damage as one of the bear's swipes or Raziel's teeth, but his intentions were not to cause injuries right away. He would attempt to get the male moving in order to give chase, and if he tried to resist, he would attack. The Inuit would not do so to kill, of course, but he would definitely aim to take a chunk out of the man. For now, though, he simply snapped at his heels and waited for him to take off, having a brief memory of the wolf hunt flash through his mind as he did so. The result of the current situation would not become the same as the one from the woods, just as long as the stranger cooperated.
