Sleepy Fox Hollow BWP: LEAVE NO TRACE

The pale devil was a wary one.  She'd had half a mind to hold her ground, to guard the lands from the creatures that roared in the mist, that burned in the fog like distant dragons.  An acrid smell cut through the air, the burning of fuel and the melting of plastic components over the normal smell of wood burning.  Why wouldn't she stay home and guard?

Then there was a howl.  It was close.  Too close, in her opinion, from the den of the putrid dragons.  Treason was also not the sort to enjoy wandering, but after Redshank, it seemed like this would be worth investigating.  She started trotting in that direction, but as she noticed the scents of her packmates, it became far more urgent to catch up with whatever group was forming over there.  Despite having questionable morals in comparison to some, her job was to protect things that were hers, was it not?

And lo, so appeared Treason on the scene, her strides slowing to appear in Terance's shadow.  Ears forward, lip twitching upward as she surveyed the attitudes of everyone around.  It was certainly no friendly chat, so perhaps it was a good thing she appeared -- and notably, neither of the alphas was here (yet?), so perhaps they could do things right and not worry about pitying idiots.  Some of the scents in the area obviously belonged to those that were their more friendly neighbors -- she hadn't met them, but the other group that were definitely by themselves?  They were the enemy in this, right?  A bristle ran through her fur and a low grow exited her maw.  Then to Terance, or whoever even bothered to answer, What's all this then? but delivered in a far more ugly way than the Monty Python skit the writer is quoting.

Honestly, Treason did not give a hoot about the human, and to some point was counting it in there with the destroyed machine as something maybe worth avoiding.  She just wanted to keep the uppity quasi-neighbors from getting any ideas that they would ever be allowed to encroach on anything even remotely near the Sunspire if they were to come with hackles raised and fangs bared, as the rest of the pack certainly didn't seem like the type to start fights.  She was probably the most likely to do that.
