Whitebark Stream High Time

Thinking she had him beat - and that he might run for the hills - Tavi was more than a bit surprised when the threat fell flat. In fact, the boy mentioned knowing Saena, as if they were best pals at some point in the past. The girl's mouth opened, slack jawed for a split second, but she collected herself quickly. "Yeah, that's her. Dunno about any plateau, but she's the boss of this forest." Her heart had sunk a little bit. "I can call for her if you want to say hello." Maybe this situation could be mended after all. But it still bothered Tavi immensely that she'd screwed up so much. First to think a wolf was food, then to try and scare off the intruder and have him completely unphased - she wasn't even remotely scary! Ugh. She mentally glossed over the fact that the boy was so interested in Saena, and not so interested in herself; he was a stranger so his attention wasn't exactly valuable, but all the same... Tavi disliked being overlooked.
