Blackfoot Forest it's gonna be a long night

His hackles raised, an instinctual reaction to her show of aggression, and her terse reply just added fuel to the fire. His lips lifted in a similar way, and he tensed, ready for a fight should it come to that. Her second statement pierced his momentary anger and he froze. The beast turned from her and walked a few steps away. His ribs expanded as he drew in a large, steadying breath. He held the the air in his lungs for a few second before letting it out slowly. He pushed the frustration back down deep inside where he knew it would fester along with the other intense emotions he'd rather not deal with. Midar knew he would need a release soon, but that was a problem for tomorrow. 

He finally turned back to his apparent family member, his face a blank mask again. He gave her only a nod, silently stating they would not be enemies. The beast did not kill those who did not deserve it, and , from what he could tell, she had done nothing to incur his brand of punishment. He did not offer any words yet, he just stared at her while he tried to make sense of everything. One day he hoped he would stop going through life so damn confused about everything.
