Ravensblood Forest the heart won't lie

Lavender gaze held steady on the male, unwavering. She was not afraid of him. There was very little that she was afraid of, for that matter. She could feel her "fight or flight" trying to kick in, though. For the moment, she would remain where she was, but if pushed she would either fight back or run. It really all depended on which she would end up doing if the need so arose. For now, she merely stood her ground with her paws firmly planted in place. She was a bit taken back when he spoke. It wasn’t his words, though. It was his voice. She had expected it to be more, but it wasn’t. It was soft, quiet, and not at all what she’d thought it would be. Sabriyah didn’t respond when he informed her that part of this very forest was intended to be claimed other than giving a faint nod to show she heard and understood. The female would make certain that she didn’t venture into this forest again so as to not end up trespassing or being accused of trespassing. ”Just exploring,” she responded to his curious question. ”I’m new in the area and wanted to check things out.” Although she readily answered his question, she did not even remotely relax. ”I guess it would be pointless to ask you the same, assuming it’s you and your pack that are laying claim to the forest.” It wasn’t really a question but more of a statement.
