Moonspear you were the one next to me

Liffey cringed apologetically as her packmate jumped. She didn't like sneaking up on others (unless she was playing with Rannoch), but the cougar's presence didn't leave her much of a choice. The other female didn't seem to harbor any resentment over it, so Liffey fell easily into step at her side and shifted her attention to the cat as well. She was relieved to hear that the cougar likely didn't care about them. She was still pretty intimidated by it, though.

"I don't know... I've never actually seen one of these before. Definitely smelled them, though...," Liffey answered, wrinkling her nose, "My mom used to tell us stories about how she'd antagonize them for fun, but she never really explained how to get rid of them. Seeing it up close confirms for me that my mother has got to be insane." Which she already suspected, if we're being honest.
