No, she couldn't let it happen. She wouldn't let it happen! She quickly snapped out of that petrified state with a blinks and a slight head shake, and then she took a position to the snake she had never did before. The monster inside her roared inside her mind, but she wsn't going to let it out now, even more so close to a friend. That didn't mean she wasn't going to use it as an encouragement for her behaviour.
The reddish fur between her shoulder blades rose up, her tail was straight up, her lips pulling up in her white teeth, a snarl building up in her chest. The snake didn't move the head, but looked at her with wary eyes. "Off him, Saw." She ordered, her voice husky with the snarl, demandingly aggressive. The snake closed the pitch black mouth and uncoiled from his neck, but stayed away from her, as she followed the reptile's every movement with the one white and one green eye, but both as serious as his as it had wanted to attack the little Willow. Her snarl disappeared as the distance between the mamba and the wolf and his feathery Guide got longer. Then, she was herself again, but her eyes were still hard, an angry frown of disapproval in her face as she stared at the emotionless reptile. It didn't seem to regret his acts, but still knew she wasn't going to forget that so fast.
She slowly turned her eyes to her friend, but her eyes were now soft and careful, her expression sheepish. "Sorry. I really don't know what is up to him today. Did he hurt you?" She apologized, her question directed to both of the victims. She could bet they'd be more than just careful about Saw from now on. He wasn't easily impressed, neither easily stopped while doing something. He was quite determined, as herself, but if a dark side that came and vanished as often as her, but she still controled that. They were so and so not alike...
The wolfess still looked at the two apologethicly, hoping they'd forgive them someday. Saw disppeared, as casual in a difficult moment; as she wished she could do with such ease. She grimaced to the grass where he'd be vanished, and went back to the grayish male, still a bit numb with that experience.
