The Sentinels Oh won't you come with me,

logically, yunxu knows she can't do much to him. the way she holds her injured back leg suggests it might be broken – she won't be able to attack him. if she tries, she won't get far. but he knows that even if he has ample room to flee, instinct won't let him. even though she's attacked him before, he feels a little nauseous at the idea of tasting blood right now.

he always does, until it happens. 

so he flinches when she snarls, the barest twitch of his shoulders. "you did not claim it, or i will have noticed you there," he returns. "you have same claim he does. and you are one wolf. he has pack, so he has many."

he says it very cautiously, hesitates between the words. he does not mean to turn this into a fight, but it is the truth.

and he hesitates again before his next, safe only because he's certain she won't take the offer. "it is smarter to come along coast. there is pack on island near cliffs, led by my sister, if you need place to heal. you cannot claim cliffs on your own, and it is better option than this."
