Duskfire Glacier lions and tigers and bears

Edit: @Tuwawi would you mind terribly jumping in for a single post on this? I wanted to use it as a trade thread and it's so close.

Oh my god his terror was so flippin cute. She didn't want to scar the poor kid but if this sort of easy jesting caused him issues then something was wrong. Pups didn't always have to be coddled, and her particular brand of playing sometimes didn't sit well with overprotective parents. She turned out alright though, didn't she? Actually, that was a matter of perspective, and she could think of many who would disagree with that statement... but those opinions hardly counted. Kids needed some heckling so they knew how to handle life.

So he had some fight in him yet! The words were quiet and tremulous, but he met her gaze, so she was mildly impressed. Only mildly wasn't good enough. "What was that? I don't think I heard." She took a step forward, playfully challenging. She wanted to hear this boy give some passion to his voice, stand up for himself. If he didn't his siblings and packmates would walk all over him for sure. She would know. "And if I can't hear, who's to say I can't eat you up right now?" She didn't move any closer, though, than her single step. After all, she didn't want to terrify the kid completely.
