Ouroboros Spine sun in your eyes

The she-wolf seemed to take notice of her and marched over directly, making a point to display dominance. Junior did not flinch nor submit. She stood there, tail limp but ears erect, refusing to sway one way or the other on neutral territory. She might have been near the spine, yet she wasn't actually on this lady's turf.

The youth's eyes narrowed at the threat. "And I won't hurt you unless you give me reason to," Junior responded sarcastically. She was now the size of an adult, so age did not give the stranger any particular advantage. And she wasn't just some aimless youth; she was a trained Warrior and Outrider and could definitely stand her own should it come to blows.
