Neverwinter Forest [ic joining] pilfer and plunder

So sorry for keeping you waiting! Last few days have been very hectic. Btw, even though Chakra's kind of dismissing Bayou here, you don't need to consider it a rejection yet; Bayou can still talk her way into the pack. :)

Chakra watched Tuwawi go, a bit of sulk evident in her slink as she left with the food. Despite her harsh exchange with the red-coated subordinate, Chakra felt an undercurrent of warmth and affection for her. Tuwawi was hers. It was her duty to protect not just their pack and their pack's interests — such as the food Tuwawi had been prepared to give away — but also her pack's members, including Tuwawi herself. If this strange little wolf was a threat in any way, it was better that Chakra deal with her and any dangers she might bring.

Turning her attention back to the dark wraith, she growled in distaste at the other's attempts to lick her chin. A quick snap, white teeth coming together with a sharp clack, put some space between them again. "I have neither the desire nor the resources to feed every beggar that comes crawling at my borders," she replied coldly to the other's pleas. "Go away."
