Blacktail Deer Plateau A Taste for Deer

Yes, he's meant to be that way. He's actually meant to be very wolflike, i.e., territorial. Sorry, it's just his character. :)

Unlike the coyote, Peregrine did not possess magical dodging abilities, so her swat landed, though it didn't do any damage beyond pissing him off and wounding his pride. With that, she went skittering back to where she came from, chirping more irritating words over her shoulder.

He followed her for nearly a mile before finally slowing down and stopping, hurling an angry oath after her. Peregrine stalked back and forth for a few moments, then slowly loped back to the plateau.
