Grouse Thicket And just a little too honest to believe that I am saved

A part of her still figured that Niamh was bluffing... and it was that part that made her pause an instant too long, considering how she would make out of this with something to show.

Niamh's lunge took her by surprise, catching her shoulder just as she moved to dart around.  With a leg caught, she ended up buckling, falling forward and nearly slamming her muzzle into the dirt.  Luckily she was able to at least pull her head up.

What the fuck is your problem?! She finally hissed, but her confusion was giving way to anger.  She couldn't really afford injury as a lone wolf approaching winter, but she wasn't about to roll over and take this shit either.  She snapped back at Niamh, aiming for her face.  If she connected it'd be a painful scratch, but if not, it would at least maybe shock her into letting go.
