She just smirked when one of the strangers asked what poisonous sounded like. They were quick, apparently, but she didn't feel the need to clarify or justify. The trick to lying was to never let on you had anything to prove. Completely unaware that Makatza had been present previously, she was committed to at least leaving the threat out there as a hanging spectre for them both. Her other garden was shared, but this den and the plants near it were dangerous enough to warrant a lingering reputation.

The other girl, however, accused her outright of lying. Fennec didn't react at first, but then she heard her move, circling around. That got her fur prickling... circling like that could mean a number of things, and one of those was that she was looking for an opening. Fennec shifted defensively, curling around and lowering her head slightly, ears now trained with vivid focus on Makatza.

Before she could reply, the younger wolf came out with it. The fuck do I have? she thought, but there wasn't exactly time to ask. She heard the push in the autumn leaves and her lips drew up into a snarl, though she did not loose any sound. She could never afford to drown out her opponent.

Her first move was to lunge sideways, trying to avoid the brunt of Makatza's lunge. She couldn't afford to be knocked off of her feet so early in, but she wasn't about to hold her punches either. She didn't know this other wolf well enough to care if she injured her, not when she bit first. Snakelike, she snapped in the area that Makatza's movements placed her, hoping to connect and tear before darting away. Judging a new opponent's movements was hard, but as long as she gave herself space, she could hopefully learn.

I rolled an 18 for Fenn to dodge that XD she's lucky she rolled well, I always put her at a bit of a disadvantage. I'm down to handle this fight however you want to, though!
Fenn is blind, and as she's older, will take all of her character insight from tone.  If you are ever uncomfortable with an assumption she makes, please let me know!
