Chimera Fields isn't it bad, so quiet there, in the wood?

Me neither! Pleased, she was so happy to see that Chai was glad to see her and that the botanist was not, in fact, intruding on something personal. I came to look for more plants to add to the garden. She quickly explained, before turning her attention back to the young, dark male.

He was all teeth and growls. Protective over his only chewed up rabbit. Flopping onto her belly, Reiko looked up at him from under her brows - she wasn't too close to him, just close enough to have a regular conversation, to keep an eye on each other. Clearly, she was uninterested in his prey, mostly just in him. Mind me asking who's with you? Are they teaching you how to hunt?

The first rule of a pup in her homeland - never tell a stranger that you were indeed alone. Lie, tell anyone that there was an adult nearby. The pup was taught well, she smiled at the thought. As Chai introduced them both, Reiko's tail began to tap lightly against the ground behind her, harder as her name was announced. Well nothing really, I was curious as to what my friend here was investigating. Now I can see. You're skilled. More skilled than I am at hunting. Look at me! Skin and bones.

Her expression shifted for a moment, shocked, surprised maybe as if she regretted her chosen words - quickly her expression softened again as she explained further. But don't worry, I'm not hungry. She winked playfully.
