Gyrfalcon's Keep My heart is a warrior

Jinx found her feet in an instant when the other female spoke, laying out what appeared to be Fox's intention. Jinx knew better than to think Fox's intention was to be corralled in the Creek with no access to their outlying hunting grounds for fear of the Vale. Of course, Jinx didn't know what had happened between the two, but she was more than headstrong enough to make assumptions. "I believe you've misunderstood," she suggested, facing the other woman head-on now. "What gives your Vale the right to hunt in the vicinity of our pack while we keep to our lands like cattle? Why don't you hunt in your lands?" Swiftcurrent was larger.

But Jinx didn't know that, so she couldn't comment on it. "No, you see, the lands around the Creek are our hunting grounds. They belong to us. You and yours can forage elsewhere, on the other side of the mountain, and there is no risk of crossing." Did Xi'nuata truly think that Fox and her wolves would just meekly give up the surrounding land for the Vale's use? Maybe Fox had let her believe that, but Jinx was still the Beta, and Jinx strongly opposed.
