Shadowwyn Moor Bad blood

A look of sadness came upon the other's face, tail drooping and features darkening as if deeply sorrowful. For a moment Mawk almost regretted his previous suspicions, though he felt tingles of uncertainty from the next words spoken. A fight seemed relatively ordinary, couples had disagreements every now and then (though he couldn't help but feel proud that he and Cebra had not), but "I followed her scent here. To keep an eye on her..For protection, of course." This sentence caused a spark of dread. He told himself silently to relax, he did not know this wolf and for all he knew the woman could truly have been in danger when she departed. Still, it did little to ease his tension. "Surely it would have been better to allow her the space and privacy she wanted?"

Lonzo's next words seemed to confirm the fact that he loved his wife and only wished to protect her, but still Mawk found himself to be wary. "What was your wife's name, if you don't mind me asking? I could keep an eye out for her and let you know if I see her." On the outside, it appeared a genuine offer, and in most other instances it would have been genuine, but he was suspicious. Perhaps if he found this woman, he could ask whether she really wanted to return to her husband - if not, he would not make any mention of seeing her to this man.
