The female was silent for a moment as she studied Peregrine with cool sapphire eyes, noting his wit. It was hard for Tethys not to look down on him, seeing the proclaimed alpha as little more than a grunt. Could she help herself?

There was no point in ruining the initial shock the male might recieve when he saw things were run far differently, and perhaps more efficiently, in Tethys' pack. Remaining still, the female allowed a toothy smile in return to the brute's last comment and a shrug of her shoulders.
