It seemed Amy had picked up on the deliberate shortness of Caspa's answers, as she asked the same question again. The hound had hoped that the mention of 'balance' covered this neatly enough, but she did have trouble with English sometimes despite having been born to it as well as her father's native tongue. "They are equal, yes." Her words were getting so sparse that surely Amy would notice something was up soon, but Caspa's mind was full of what she had to do and certainly it was common for her to be perceived as a dog of very few words, anyway. She had glanced back a few times at the male, who was still unnamed. She was so much slighter than Amy: if help would be available, Caspa must take it. But she had a strong feeling she could as much expect help from the horse as from the cowed-looking wolf who trailed behind. This did not bode well as to her chances against the golden-furred woman, who had intimidated him into such submission. She would have to seize the element of surprise. Caspa felt her claw brush against a stone, and glancing down saw the flint-sharp edges. She bent and scooped it up, swift and coordinated from her juggling practice, and palmed it facing away from Amy so that she could not see. If the male alerted her... all could be lost. Caspa prayed he would not, as she scoured her large resource of anatomical knowledge for the best place to quickly disable with a thrown missile. From behind, it was harder than openly facing - as she would have with an honourable target - but probably the skull or back of the neck... yes. She breathed deep, readying herself.
