Blacktail Deer Plateau HOW TO NOT BE SEEN

Although he'd not expected to have a long conversation, something about Aliac's response struck him as rather rude. He was a male accustomed to being shown deference in all things, at least upon his own plateau, and felt that Aliac had not given him the proper acknowledgment. If she'd not seemed so respectful at the borders, the male might've done more than give a disagreeable grunt in response.

He supposed watching deer must rate higher on her priorities than greeting her packmates. This was not necessarily a bad thing, but it still put the male out of sorts.

Sensing that further conversation would not be desired, the male began to move away so that Aliac could watch in peace.
