Kintla Flatlands Action/Reaction

The prospect of food dulled her focus for the moment so she did not hear the heavy breathing of an angered wolf, though she did notice when the dark creature stepped forward from the shadows. Piercing eyes yanked up from the still warm doe to settle on the other, surprise fleeing her emotional palate. While she had not known about the other's female's presence, she was not going to back down just because this one popped up like a figure in a book.

Instinctively, she stepped over her kill, clear eyes meeting those of ill intent. "I'm going to eat the deer I just tracked for several hours." Her statement was firm and confident. "And yourself?" While she was a gentle soul, she was also not easily intimidated; her body remained tense, stomach unsatisfied for the moment as they stood there like statues. There was no posturing — yet — but Catori would protect what was hers, what she had worked so diligently for.
