killers linger the least [attn: jinx and/or njal]

"This God hates," she said, but didn't go on to clarify that Sos was, in fact, her God. Hawkeye had merely adopted the Black Bear from Jinx's lessons in Bon Dye. On one side of the equation, Hawkeye thought Jinx was a hack, though the reasons for that were unclear. On the other side of it, Jinx thought Hawkeye was an idiot, for thinking she could pull the wool over the eyes of one of Sos' high priestesses and claiming to be more intimate with Him than she was. It was a matter of opinion, and unfortunately, the wolves in question were both exceptionally opinionated and egotistic.

"But believe me," she said darkly, "this bitch wouldn't know a prayer if it lodged in her throat. She is nothing but a fraud as far as religion is concerned." Had the Kesuk been more worried about Hawkeye's strength, she might have said something along the lines of, "be careful if you face her". As it stood, she had never seen the lime-eyed woman in combat, and had no reason to believe the Blacktail Alpha was any more skilled than she or Haunter or anyone else. There was no concern.

"But," she said as they wandered the borders, she unconsciously showing him her route whilst instructing him of their rivals, "I should like to hear her plead for her God..." And in this manner she continued as they walked, extending her description to Hawkeye's demon dog, Peregrine, in a ruthlessly opinionated manner. Eventually, they parted ways, but with Jinx holding a much higher opinion of the newcomer than she had had when she first charged him.
