Blackfeather Woods creates the only emotion

The dog was curiously coloured. It had floppy ears and fluffy fur, and all of the dog-like things that he didn't trust. All of his knowledge and training had taught him to avoid dogs, or kill them on site, for they were animals of man. Though Taikon had only ever seen a human once, he had heard many gunshots, smelled many strange things from them, and found many of their kill sites. They were monsters he had no desire to ever meet with again, and thus far in the Teekons he had been lucky not to. This one though, this one threatened to unravel all of that. He would not allow it.
Yet...
She lowered herself. She did not challenge him, for to do so might have been a detriment due to her small size. He moved in closer, ignoring any semblance of grace he might have had for one of their own, and instead glared at her. His eyes were sharp, jaded with an edge that few had witnessed in him.
As she spoke, her words were rough, foreign. The she-dog answered with a sound that he presumed was her name, and this relaxed him just enough to let his nose inhale her scent. Rowan. The forest. She had been here for longer than just today, and it was clear that Rowan had either marked her or been quite near to her.
Taikon inhaled lengthily through his nose, and sighed in a frustrated exasperation. He looked away from her, making a disgusted face, contemplating what to do. Why would Rowan bring a dog here? Why? These boy leaders had all lost their minds. Perhaps they had never had any in the first place. Imaq, he repeated back to her, his voice tense. He assumed (wrongly, naturally) from her poor use of words and that she indeed had the feeble mind of a dog, and thus had trouble with language. Because of this, he spoke very slowly, though at the same volume. His voice remained strained. Taikon, he introduced, and did not bow formally. This was as close to an insult as he would likely get.
Why - are - you - here? He asked bluntly. Had Rowan actually had the audacity to allow a dog into their ranks?
