Teme Lupus is by Alaine!

It felt so good to open up and laugh with someone he'd just met. It often made Temeraire wonder why his Uncle had taught him a lesson- anyone he'd ever met outside of Vinátta had been good and nice, in fact two of them had chosen to follow him back and join their ranks. For just a second, Temeraire was blinded by the fierce wish that Lena would follow him home, that she would join Vinátta's ranks and never leave. As quickly as it came, the wish disappeared into the back of his mind, replaced by the challenge in the females tones. He felt outrage rise up in him, but the giggles escaping him didn't give said gasp of outrage enough force to let Lena know she was in trouble. I'll have you know, Miss Lena, that I can walk just fine with one eye closed, watch! His voice grew shrill at the end, coloured lighter by his excitement at proving her wrong.

Of course, he never got a chance to demonstrate his exceptional skill at walking with one eye closed. He supposed he should be grateful, because he wasn't entirely sure that he could walk straight with an eye closed. He also refrained from answering her words on Jordheim. He didn't have time to voice his affirmation before the rumbling caught his attention and he was darting forward. The pair tumbled to the ground, limbs twisting together so that when they landed, Temeraire wasn't entirely sure where his own body stopped and hers began. Or where the floor was, for that matter. It took him a good few moments, actually, to realise that he'd taken a protective stance over her body, paws placed awkwardly but his body was solid and his balance steady. His question was answered almost reluctantly he thought, at admitting that it was her brother. He remembered her words previously- that she'd had to ask him to come out here today.

He remained quiet, his body refusing to move from its protective stance over her body, as she called out his name. To him, it seemed almost pleading and Tem felt a flare of annoyance at the brother for coming in and ruining their playful challenge. Of course, this irritation morphed seamlessly into anger at the snarling words from her brother. Automatically and without thinking, Temeraire felt his fur bristle, hackles standing on end, shoulders hunching and ears lowering slightly. His tail remained firmly stuck out though- this was no defensive posture. Lena's small words, spoken gently and only for him, made no difference. Her struggling body beneath him however caused him to take a step backwards, freeing her from their trapped tangle and thereby giving him better footing. The males second question, given in the self same snarling tone, caused the rumbling, deep snarl from his own chest.

Whats it got to do with you? He questioned, voice darker and deeper for the anger that rushed through his veins. He didn't think he'd ever seen his family like this, and wondered if they ever felt this furious. He'd just saved the boys sisters life, and he was met with snarls and accusations? That was, most definitely, not on. With fangs bared, Temeraire stepped forward, head lowered as if to stalk forward towards the brown boy.
