Alpine Lake Take a sip from the cup of life

Wait, what?! Ma'am!?  Was this wolf for real?  Fennec couldn't help but snicker as soon as she heard it, though she likely did so around the tail end of her coughing fit, so it might have passed unnoticed.  Uh, yeah.  I am, dearie. She responded with an open smirk and a definite emphasis on the end term.  She had no clue how old the wolf was who was speaking, but she didn't sound young.  It was jarring hearing that term applied to her - even if she was older than she currently was, she still felt it would not be a fit.

I'm Fennec.  She was more than a little bemused by the violence that the girl seemed to be taken aback with.  Yeah she'd been startled but she'd also been spacing off so it was kind of her fault?  I'm not going to burst into flames or anything, if you were wondering.  I only do that when I'm startled by rude wolves.  She said that in her typical deadpan, and her eyes didn't track to where Holly was at any point.  Possibly disconcerting, but she never minded putting anyone off.
