Fox's Glade wasn't expecting that

:D

Silence settled between them, and Lakhesis continued to stare unflinchingly as the pup adjusted herself. Her entire posture was rigid, frozen, and the witch wondered why. Was the missing limb anything to do with that? It looked fresh — healed, but recent. Her quiet words were more evidence of what happened. Something bad, it seemed. She let the coyote speak another word, a foreign one that meant nothing to her, before replying softly, "I will not."

She waited a few more moments before rising slowly, taking one step forward as lightly as she could so she didn't scare the cub further. Yellow eyes inspected her leg, head quirking to the side. How fascinating; she had never seen a three-legged...creature before. "What happened?" she asked, curiousity genuine. There was an ounce of sympathy for the youth in her gaze but, mostly, she just wanted to know how she had managed to gain such a grievous injury.
