War of lies

Continued from "Precarious Situation"! For @Erika and @Sitri (if you want Danni).

Putting thoughts of the abrasive coyote behind her, Jinx turned her head to seek Erika's blemished face. From Macawi's words, she guessed that the two had some kind of relationship. She wasn't sympathetic to it, but she did hold concerns of wolves above those of any other animal, and took a moment to make that known.

“I am sorry if she is a friend, Erika,” Jinx said gruffly, “but I cannot tolerate so much disrespect from any wolf, let alone a coyote. I hope it does not colour your opinion of me or my pack.” But there was no use repeating that, so with that said, the Alpha female dismissed the issue. Her vision found Sitri then and she smiled.

“Thank you for your assistance, Sitri. This is Erika.” Though Jinx thus far had continued to walk back toward her home, she paused in her step now as she turned back to the lone wolf. “I trust you have made your decision?” There was a good chance, the Kesuk knew, that Erika's decision had been re-made upon seeing her friend chased from the pack and threatened by its Alpha, but if that was the case, then Jinx wouldn't mind. She was a wolf who cared more for protocol than friendships, after all.
