Blacktail Deer Plateau all the poisonous venom is seeping through the honey badger's body

Saena was shaking from head to foot, and though she fully expected the lone female to get lost, Jade did anything but that. The bystander instead indicated that the prints were male, and that she'd brought herbs, but this wasn't really why Saena was treating her aggressively.

Saena could tell just by looking at her that Jade hadn't been the one to kill and devour Honey Badger. No wolf could escape such a messy ordeal without wearing blood like a bib. The juvenile didn't particularly care who had done it, though; she wanted these mongrels, all of them, away from her doorstep. If there was a cannibal out there, then he could feast on the lone wolves, and she wouldn't have any of them enticing him to come back here. Blacktail Deer Plateau didn't need more wolves, and it didn't need more tragedy, and there was nothing Jade could do for the corpse anyway.

The grief-stricken female ignored everything Jade said, and instead rushed her. Saena was no fighter, and it probably showed, but the young female couldn't just stand here and allow a lone wolf to stand so near their borders after such a clear tragedy. No one was trustworthy... not even Jade, who clearly wasn't involved. "I said get out," Saena snarled, aiming a vicious warning snap at the lone wolf's face.

Only when Jade shuffled away did Saena allow herself to weep, and only when she'd cried long and hard did she make her way back into her packland, leaving Honey Badger's remains in the shadow of the grand ledge.
