Stone Circle Collision of worlds

Steph wasn't really sure why she had given herself away. She certainly didn't want the dog coming towards her, as she was now. Her eyes narrowed, and she didn't return the greeting or the smile.

She wanted to comment on how her mother thought the dog was edible, or how Steph wondered how she was going to get through winter with such a thin coat. Her mother hadn't been eager to accept the dog into the pack, and Steph wasn't eager to befriend her, especially when she stole Murdock from her. 

But, Steph was not a mean wolf and she didn't have it in her to insult the female out loud. So, since she couldn't say anything nice, she didn't say anything at all. She placed her head back on her legs, though her eyes remained open.
