There was a moment of calm - or something close to it - which passed between them. Had he not uttered the final comments then perhaps the boy would have slunk on by without issue; however, it was not natural for him to escape a situation without running his mouth a little first. And he knew with some certainty that the wolves of Teekon did not understand him. Whatever insult or slur he threw their way would fall upon deaf ears. Except, of course, after he spoke with that belligerent tone that children often direct towards their parents, the white beast rose up to block his path. She was adamant suddenly, and Tiarnan felt his ears fall back upon his head. Repentant to a degree, while he entertained the notion of a stranger who could actually understand him.

When Jinx spoke her heated words, he was once again corrected. Whatever the reason for her hostility it was not because she had been offended by his speech - not in the manner he thought. Quick words were thrown his way and he shrank from them, as he shrank from her. Easing himself low and serpentine, as if smothering the earth would save him from whatever wrath he had summoned from the stranger. His ears did cup the sound of her voice and he heard her enunciate one word, and though he did not understand it, the woman's intentions became somewhat less muddy.

He responded with a sudden blurt - "Name." - which actually came as a surprise to himself; Tiarnan had forgotten all about the sparse bits and pieces he had collected in his wandering, but it came flooding back to him now in his moment of need. "Name," he implored as he rose up again, fierce on the outside while internalizing his fear and doubt. Perhaps if he could label this stranger as something more than a great white bear, he would have something to work with.
