Shadow Mountain The endless search

A little voice in the back of her mind told her to disengage, that this pointless escalation could be halted by taking a proverbial step back and re-evlauating the situation.  Hell, even turning around and heading back up North to the Keep with no futher conversation would have been preferable.  But that voice was small.  Growing smaller by the second.  Her ears cupped forward when the haggard male spoke again and his words only served to increase her agitation.  The look on his face, the bite in his words.. yes, it was wrong!  She wanted to scream.

But before she could respond he was on the tail of a rabbit.  It was just out of reach for him and Banner would have felt something akin to compassion had he not been so overtly rude to her.  She watched his failure and instead felt nothing as the dark male missed his prey due to in part to an untimely change in the wind's direction. 

"No, clearly you aren't a threat to my pack," she stated dryly, her voice a bit louder to carry the greater distance caused by his movement downhill.
