Fin's ears swiveled backwards to catch the tone of Fang's voice as it went from bitter to sensitive. How was it possible that he could be so gullible, especially after what she had already done to him? She almost felt bad, but actually she didn't at all. A grin flashed very briefly on her muzzle before she lifted her head and turned to glance back at him, melancholy written on her every feature.

"Not really," she admitted as though embarrassed, "I haven't been in these lands for too long and.. I dunno, I guess I don't really know how to make friends." Fin gave him her best pathetic look, ears drooping and tail hanging low to add to the effect. Meanwhile, she began to wonder just how fast she'd have to run this time once the game was over.
