Not even the smoothly disguised countenance of the lissome she-wolf's muzzle could hide the knife that twisted in Caiaphas' gut -- the female's words were sharp, cutting as shards of fractured shells. Caiaphas eyed her dolefully, her expression bland -- a remarkable change from mere moments before.

She proffered simply a shrug, as if the female's words no longer lanced her indignity. "It's not." She answered quite suddenly, her expression cold. If she conceded, perhaps the female would be offput by this and leave. Given they were on neutral sand she did not wish to chase the tawny female just yet -- but she was loathe to leave the stranger unattended so close from home.
