Neverwinter Forest [ic joining] pilfer and plunder

A howl rent the air, its songful message spoken in a voice she did not recognize. Keen ears, like radars, swiveled and determined where the call had come from, and quickly she was on her way. Yet another stranger dared to encroach upon her timbered boundaries. After her recent run-in with the fox-like fool who had come here, it seemed, solely for the purpose to pick a fight with her, Chakra's tolerance for strangers on her lands was nearly nonexistent. A soft growl had begun to rumble deep in her chest, and her mane bristled pre-emptively.

It didn't take her long to find the one who had howled. When she did, she saw that one of her packmates had already arrived and, apparently, been talking with the stranger. It was Tuwawi, her beautiful red Phi, and it appeared that she intended to offer the stranger a carcass from one of their caches. Quickly, a sharp snarl flew from Chakra's lips, her ears flattening back in anger, and she sprang at Tuwawi. "What do you think you're doing?!" she hissed at her subordinate, sea-ice eyes blazing with cold fire. "It is the middle of winter and here you stand, giving our pack's precious food to an intruder. I should throw you out along with this fool," she gestured toward the dark-coated stranger. "You can redeem yourself by putting that back where you found it."

She whirled on the dark stranger. She appeared to be a yearling, withered and thin by lack of nutrition so that she appeared spidery and wraithlike. Chakra was disgusted. "What do you want?" she asked harshly, her ire escalating slightly from moments before.
