Fox's Glade that’s just the waves slamming against the topsides’ sound

indra wasn't sure what she expected when she finished speaking - the ball, effectively, was in maegi's court. she felt her fur prickle as she realized maegi had locked gazes with her; indra's amber eyes hardened as she sought a meaning for the firm eye-lock. she went to raise her tail and -- oh, wait, that's gone -- but the narrowing of the female's eyes caused some of her defensiveness to dissipate.

she let loose a sigh as she heard maegi's words, feeling her gums curl at the threat. 

she didn't know maegi well enough to know if she was capable of killing, but the threat wasn't well received. she tacked on a hard stare. "we'd only hurt you if you hurt us first." she answered, feeling the sympathy she had for the girl moments before wither. "besides, that's not the way you get strangers to help you." it might have been cold -- it might even have been hard-ass of her -- but indra no longer trusted strangers well enough to let them say whatever they wanted, or threaten her or her family.
