This!

[/html]Tayui had been enjoying her own self-imposed pity session, so when that was abruptly interruped by the sudden appearance of another wolf, she was rather peeved. She figured that she had two options: she could either fake it or break it. She could fake being nice and pretend she was alright, just as she had been doing for the past two years. Or, she could instead choose to hold nothing back and break the young girl. Dark thoughts of drawing blood swirled in her head for a moment before she dismissed them. No, she couldn’t harm an innocent for simply existing. Hurting others because their appearance was inopportune for her was not how she should behave. She might have compromised some of her morals, but they were for a greater goal. Hurting a wolf would not achieve this goal.

So, instead, she asked: “do you need something, child?” She was faking it halfway, so she couldn’t muster the soft smile that had once so frequently graced her features. She was no longer a Queen so it didn’t matter what the wolf thought as long as she didn’t think Tayui was dangerous.

Tayui was only dangerous to herself.

With that, she stood slowly and took a half-step sideways. She didn’t like how this wolf was standing while she sat. She didn’t move any farther since she did not want to alarm the wolf. She just wanted to see how this would progress.[html]
