Fox's Glade why, why, why? to help my family?

slight pp to wrap up, i hope that's ok <3

relieved to see her son rein in his flaring assault, caiaphas pressed to his flank while her yellow gaze fixed coldly, feverishly even, on the form of the she-wolf that if things had been different, might have been the end to caiaphas' long and storied chapter. her gums peeled back, yellowed teeth revealed -- whether or not gannet meant well, he was still clearly associated with the devil that had attempted to kill her. for that, caiaphas would not give him even an inch of her trust.

she had learned long ago very few things were to be trusted -- and few things were more fallible than men.

flicking her tail, she set gannet with a measured, unflinching look. "you can help by leaving us." she barely had the strength to stand, and so leaned shakily against her son, her breath ragged. once she was certain gannet and his hellish succubus were out of their vicinity, caiaphas collapsed to the ground and did not rise for some time.
