Kintla Flatlands the body

"That's because you're no wolf," Saena snarled at the speaking mutant, before redirecting her gaze to Szechuan. She wasn't compelled to leave just yet; part of her wanted to believe these mutant creatures were unable to best the strength of a wild wolf, and yet she subconsciously knew it wasn't true. A single step from either of them would be enough to send her running back to the Plateau, but she held onto the hope that they might not call her bluff.

She lifted her crown a little higher and returned her own deep growl, complete with an agonistic pucker to warn them from getting any closer. Of course, all three of them knew already that her display wasn't going to win out. A wolf's warning only worked against one other wolf; even the strongest of her species wasn't capable of taking on two larger canids. Nevertheless she held on, hoping for them to falter just a little, if nothing else.
