Swiftcurrent Creek today's supernatural

I wasn't sure how condescending Tuwawi's voice might have been, so I ran with Jinx always being suspicious that everyone is undermining her even if it wasn't at all condescending, because she's really immature that way. :D

Oh, that Jinx could have been in Tuwawi's head. The opinion of her and her family, born from lies and heretic fears, would have been incentive enough to flay every last inch of flesh from the fiery female's body. There was little to hint at Tuwawi's inner thoughts, however, so Jinx was none the wiser to the other female's condescending opinion, and therefore showed no hostility. There was, however, something off about the way that Tuwawi acknowledged her, as if the woman knew something she probably shouldn't know, or thought that Jinx's position was something to be questioned... And though the Kesuk could not possibly know what the former Tartok wolf was thinking, she could sense something patronizing in the other's question.

It was for this reason that her temper coiled and writhed in her belly. Tuwawi's inspection of her went unnoticed, for Jinx had pulled her posture a little higher. Her stance was more rigid as she stiffened, the change slight but noticeable. "More than you," she reminded Tuwawi, not seeing any reason to justify the question with a more polite response. She could have said she was Gamma, but Jinx was a volatile creature, and petty. It was not like her to respond to something she perceived as condescending with any amount of politeness whatsoever.

It seemed, then, that they were both at a crossroads. While Tuwawi was busy considering how living in the same pack as Jinx was a bad thing (the Kesuk, after all, had never met the red-furred bitch in her life and could not be expected to understand any animosity if it presented itself), Jinx was busy considering turning her back and walking away without another word. Tuwawi had not verbally let on to any of her thoughts, so Jinx was only aware of what she perceived to be an inferior questioning her, but for her, that was enough to cry "disrespect" over.

Though, she didn't leave yet. Part of her was awaiting an explanation for being questioned. Perhaps it was as simple as not really knowing why Shearwater Bay had anything to do with Swiftcurrent Creek... But even if it was an understandable misunderstanding, Jinx had never been terribly reasonable, and put far too much emphasis on her homeland than anybody else did. It was questionable whether it being a misunderstanding would change her negative attitude at all.
