The male coywolf agreed to helping her (although she would have likely beat him until he carried out the labor) as well as getting to know her (although she turned her eyes away at this statement, her jaw stiff). She did not play stupid this time as far as knowing that he was referring to her, even if he didn’t say “you” or her name. While not many men saw her as attractive—as malnourished and scabby as she often looked when she met them—there were some, and these were always the ones who saw her for a certain piece of her rather than as a whole.
When she felt his fur on hers, she flashed threatening teeth in a way that could not be misinterpreted. Moving swiftly away, she nodded distractedly at his suggestion and positioned herself at the front of the deer.

She remained hard and silent, focusing on moving and reaching her territory.
