Blacktail Deer Plateau A Stranger to This World

The trespasser did not get far into the territory before Pied—who'd spotted him from a ledge overhead—galloped down the sloping trail and blocked his path with her body. Even as she swung broadside, her head rose, her lip lifted and her tail arched. Her two-toned eyes flashed angrily and she loosed a low, threatening growl. Although she recognized the wolf, she did not give him the benefit of the doubt, especially because this was the second time she'd caught him trespassing, albeit in different places.

"Do you have a death wish, Kisu?" she asked rather brusquely. "Is your nose broken? We've moved to the plateau and you're trespassing," she pointed out to him, glaring, though her lip lowered to sheath her fangs.
