Wildfire's reassurance didn't go far with Nightjar, if only because he was sorry to have hit so hard whether she wanted him to be or not. Besides, he wasn't so into the vocal thing lately. He preferred body language. Where words sometimes made him feel stupid, reading body language made Nightjar feel incredibly smart and capable. It was no wonder he preferred being physical rather than any sort of thinking or feeling.
With a smile, the burly Redhawk leaned forward and answered, "you can't." He didn't believe Wildfire would ever be able to best him in a fight. She had her strengths and he had his, so while she could sidestep him all day, it was Nightjar's (perhaps naive) belief that raw power trumped speed, and he had an awful lot of that. Still, it was good for Wildfire to think she could, just as it was good for Nightjar to think she couldn't. Wolves had siblings and comrades to test themselves and better themselves, or so he thought.
The mention of food set his salivary glands on fire and soon he was practically drooling. He trotted in the direction Wildfire indicated, falling in behind her because, while Nightjar believed he could best Wildfire in a fight any day of the week, he knew he wasn't her better. She took that position and he was happy to give it to her, being something of a follower himself, so he fell in line a couple paces back and even let her feed first when they finally found something to chow down on.
