Phoenix Maplewood just observe

Sounds good!

She caught his gaze just as well as she caught the crazy look within his eye. Her ears fell flat. Well, that certainly had not had the desired effect. Quite the opposite it seemed. Whatever he thought or was after, she'd be sure to squash the notion from his mind just as quickly as it rose. Evidently, he did not know what type of wolf he was dealing with, but she wouldn't hesitate to let him know should push come to shove.

A growl rolled within her throat as he stepped forward. It brewed, her lips beginning to curl with warning as he tipped his head and lifted his tail as if to challenge her. Citali's growl escaped, the sound nearly eclipsing his words that only confirmed her own suspicions. Her growl thickened. That was what she'd been afraid of and if he wished to bark, he'd find out quickly he was barking up the wrong tree.

It was beneficial for both of them that he scampered off. She lingered, watching his scrawny ass disappear into the thick of the trees. She waited, giving the male a chance to get far, far away before she settled into the quiet contentment that she was, in fact, alone. Satisfied with this, she made herself at home within the water and began to remove the filth of him from her fur.
