Her lips curved further at the corners when the boy exclaimed in shock, but the amusement quickly wore off when Tambourine's brain kicked in and he regarded her suspiciously. With her face falling back to neutrality, Saena lifted her chin a margin as if to say, do you doubt me? but she knew he did. And he was right to. You couldn't believe everything everyone told you, and Saena fancied that she'd taught him a valuable lesson in lying to him, but all she'd really done was prove to herself that she could lie, and it left a sour taste in her mouth moments later.
Liars had never been wolves she was fond of. Her sister had lied to her once and been killed for it, and her distaste for lying had only grown over the years as wolves did it continually to her. "Sorry," she said at length, after realizing she'd just done something she herself didn't agree with. "just wanted to see how you'd react. I didn't eat it. A bear did." She didn't want to relive that moment, though, and sought in her mind for something else to change the topic to, but Tambourine beat her to the punch.
His sincerity caught her off guard and momentarily, she felt winded. She hadn't received a compliment on her looks in a while. Usually other wolves found them striking, but often there was no comment, or if there was, it wasn't so up front. "Thanks," she mumbled, though she felt rather unsure of herself. She hadn't picked her markings, after all, and it always struck her strangely when other wolves not only noticed, but commented on them. She wasn't self conscious, per se, but she was aware that she looked different than other wolves. She'd never felt one way or another about it, and yet... Tambourine's open compliments(?) disarmed her.
The flop of his ear over his face sparked a memory of Stark, oddly enough. He'd mentioned that Tavi's son had a floppy ear. Then again, so did many wolves, she was sure. She wondered if it really was Tavi's kid she was looking at, and if so, how she should feel about that. "Saena," she answered him simply, and returned, "what's yours?"
