Neverwinter Forest Inside Information

If she couldn't see him, then chances were he couldn't see her either.  But Mal had his job to do, so once he was sure nobody was out there (wrong), he turned and continued along the trail he'd lightly worn.  And so he would have innocently continued on except he was heading straight for her path.  He didn't run into her there at the very edge, but her scent trail definitely caught his attention, sending up alarm bells because unlike another that had trespassed into his claim -- this one was fresh by minutes, moments, something short.

With a growl and bristling fur, he ran off along the trail after whoever this chick was that came into his territory.  She didn't seem to be all that impressive as she came into view -- he could totally take her if she was anything like Ibis, he thought.  You! he roared -- sort of, it wasn't like he was some huge dude with a super deep voice, he was just an average Joe that just yelled loudly, ok? -- Where do you think you're going?!  He skidded to a not-quite stop and postured with all the attitude of someone whose proper home had been invaded.  That was the case in his mind, at least.  But he was maybe hyped up on a bit more adrenaline than most would be because, dude, this was the first time he could do something about it.  Not that he was entirely sure what that would be, but yelling and proving he was the boss was a good start in his mind.
