Sequoia Coast Somewhere in the darkness

The female wanted little to do with Caiaphas' arrival. Without shame Caiaphas studied the creature -- the flat junction of her smooth muzzle, the apprehensive crease of her ears as they laid flat along her skull. She made no move to close the distance as Osprey retreated -- and if anything, her posture remained decidedly neutral.

Osprey's growl elicited a change in the pale waif's countenance -- instantly her ears flew forward in huffy outrage and her head heightened instinctively. She was being a dick pressing Osprey's sense of comfort, yet she had no remorse for this action. And yet, she made no further advancement -- instead, she elected to sit primly on her little haunches and scrutinize the female without fear in her yellow eyes.
