desperate measures

It's perfectly fine! I was really busy at that time anyway. xD Sorry for the shortness...

The smoky grey male sniffed in her direction, and she wondered what exactly she was gathering from her scent. He smelled strong and of a pack, which twisted the odds even more against her, though she knew she should be fine as long as she didn’t try anything foolish. She hadn’t smelled any border markings in this part of the mountains, anyway.

Vesper stood still, allowing him to speak first. When he did, however, a smirk danced across her lips. The tenseness that had pervaded her small body began to fade, now that the silence had broken with conversation. As aloof as she acted, she liked talking to others from time to time.

“I prefer the term compact,” the coywolf said, flashing her teeth in his direction playfully. “You’re quite tall, but it’s probably just a matter of your form.” She gave her tail a quick flick, almost like wag, to show that she wasn’t offended and didn’t mean to offend him. She hated canines who read too much into every little remark.

She fell silent then, and while the silence was comfortable now, she could feel an aching in her stomach. Her nostrils flared as she took in the scent of the dead goat, and she did her best not to look like she was straining forward it. “Is that for your pack?” She went onwards, not quite giving him enough time to answer, as her eyes darted to the knife. “Did you kill it with that thing?” The concept was strange—using something other than your own teeth to kill. Ingenuity was one thing; she understood using the environment, but not the glittering silver thing he’d had in his paw.
