Dragoncrest Cliffs the stars are blazing

Xan does the exact opposite of what Thuringwethil commands and she puffs out the fur of her chest and takes a threateningly slow step forward. She no longer cares about the topic he’s lying about so much that he continues to do so when he’s already been found out and to his leader. He doesn’t try any vocalization but she can feel the tension between them and there’s a long pause, as if he’s considering something but the longer it goes, the more it stirs up the sound in her chest.

The growl grows even as he slicks back his ears and offers nothing else except for the pathetic excuse that he continues to stick with. The stark contrast between the brute and Kendra makes her wonder how they’d stuck together this whole time when she’s seen through him this whole time. She knew not to trust him on the border but it hadn’t been strong enough but the feeling never quite went away, even when she’d given him one chance after another. This time, however, the seconds tick by between them as she waits for him to determine his fate.
