The pale-furred canine did not seem to react to the silver-furred canine's anger; there was nothing Vieira ever offered her, nothing that the other canine ever gave freely. It was maddening sometimes to have to interrogate her and rage exploded inside of the silver-furred Centurion even looking at her that moment, knowing she'd have to play twenty questions to get at whatever information she sought. The coyote's teeth itched to taste her blood once more, but she didn't dare do something like that, not after Gabriel had been here so recently. He might still be outside, lurking around the entrance of her cave and listening for that very thing, waiting for the opportune moment to punish Kaena.
The silvery coyote knew that Vieira's existence (and indeed, her own secrecy of the girl's very existence) would get her in trouble. She simply hadn't expected it to happen so quickly—it was as if the grapevine had eyes and ears everywhere, always listening and watching for the slightest interesting thing to blow in from the breeze. The Quintus spoke, offering the silver-furred woman painfully little in the way of what had actually gone on. Then again, she could not know unless she had actually been here—Vieira would never describe Gabriel's tone, his body language, and how he'd reacted to her initially. "That's all?" she demanded, finding an encounter so succinct perfectly appropriate for Gabriel. Still, she had to pressure Vieira and make damn sure there was nothing else.
