Kaskara could have hit Danica with that smug look on her face, but she swallowed all the bad feelings and simply let it go. It wasn't worth it to berate her anymore, especially since Junior said she wasn't upset, and Danica truly hadn't been prying. Just slandering her brother's name and possibly hers in the process. "Even so, it was uncalled for. She's just a girl."

Kas didn't care what Danica thought of her, especially if she was no fun or boring. It wasn't her place to entertain the lighter colored wolf, anyway. Kas nodded when Danica suggested her job was done there, and she repeated, "Thank you for meeting her, Danica. I appreciate you keeping her company while I finished my task." She did truly mean that, whatever she felt about the woman's previous speculative statements about her brother.

Then she turned back to Junior, a smile on her face. "How're you, eh? How was the trek over?" She walked a few paces back into neutral territory, hoping the young girl would follow. They could hang out around here for a while.
