Malakai's whole world was based upon competition. Being born at the same time as his brother, it had started in the womb of his mother, fighting Rafael for space, for the right to emerge into the world first, and had continued during their childhood. Kai and his brother had battled constantly though their parents had encouraged it when they were small, as the males grew, it became more intense and it wasn't just playful wrestling anymore. Kai always wanted to be one up on his brother, proving that he was the better of the pair and it had culminated in the murder of Rafael and Malakai's banishment from his own pack. It was that fire, that constant need to butt heads with another that often drove him, and as this female squated over the stream like he did, he realized that she allowed him to do that. She had an answer for everything, as he did, engaging him in this verbal spar, trading blow for blow with him. She hadn't backed down, hadn't shrugged off the challange he offered her, the challange he needed, and it excited him.

A slow smirk drifted over his muzzle as he mentioned acting out the scene she had described but he all but ignored the comment, this realization of what she could offer him buzzing around his head. Many took his constant smart-ass answers as arrogance, and while it was of course true that he was an arrogant creature, the need for a challange only served to enhance it. And once more, when she thanked him for the offering of the rabbit when he was done with it, his smirk spread though he didn't answer. It had simply proved his thoughts were true - Many would have turned their nonses up at it and turned away, disgusted. That was the reaction he had expected, the reaction he had hoped for, but she, like him, seemed to have this fire within her, this spark, this need to battle another, even if was only during a war of words.

It was only when the female mentioned the contents of the bowl she was mixing the contents of, that he returned the conversation. She had offered him some of the concoction, and Kai suddenly and without warning, felt a flush of panic flood him. Drugs had never been on his radar before - he knew of their existance, of course, but he had never tried them before. He had never had the need to. Now, how to proceed... Did he agree to trying the mixture despite his lack of experience or knowledge and hope not to let the female know of his nievity, or did he admit to her of his weakness, that he didn't know what he was doing with the stuff? He tried to hide it, but his eyes fell from the bowl as he shifted from balancing on the pads of his feet, to more of a sitting position, landing backwards on his backside, snorting a little. "I was always taught not to take treats from strangers... Why would I start now?" He injected as much sarcasm into his voice as he could, but it was all bravado now. This was Kai out of his comfort zone and he didn't like the feeling. He didn't want to look weak in front of this female, especially in front of this female, but the truth was that, while he didn't mind carving up innocent animals and pulling out their insides, what the female offered him in that bowl scared him a little.
