OOC: THE EXCITEMENT. IT IS EXPLOSIVE. 401.
Another day, another loop about the borders. Some sense of monotony had begun to settle back over the Centurion's life; she no longer spent most of her time contemplating Haku, trying to recover from him—she'd discovered that distracting herself from those bad memories was the best way of recovering. There was only so much alcohol could do to douse it out; waking up the following morning simply meant she felt worse than she had the prior night. She wished she could put a lacuna in her mind where that was and forget it all—there were still dreams to chase her, and spending too long a time alone with her own thoughts brought all the bad feelings back.
Her feet beat softly against the ground as she trotted quickly, intending to make this loop as quickly as possible. There was no need to pay much attention to the western border; the rest of the clan would have that part of the border on lockdown, and foreign coyotes would be lucky to navigate the traps and fake traps they'd set up along that part of their land. A strange scent entered her nose, and the coyote froze—this was almost certainly a foreign coyote, but by the smell of it they were already inside the border. She inhaled once more and made a noise in her throat, a low growl. The somewhat distant sounds of movement caught her ears and the hybrid had the foreigner targeted in a moment. As she approached and the sound grew stronger, the alarm disappeared.
As the younger canine came into view the hybrid woman issued a short bark, clearly annoyed but not yet angry, her tail swinging in the air. There was some strange familiarity on the other canine's youthful face, but she ignored it for the meantime. "You look like you're old enough to know better than to step across borders," she stated. It was impossible for the hybrid woman to be truly angry with the child; some of them truly didn't know better. They were not adults, they were not subject to exactly the same rules and regulations as an adult coyote. Certainly this youth was no danger—her face showed a high percentage of coyote, though clearly tinged with some amount of hybrid blood. There was an almost exotic blend to her youthful visage, telltale signs of a few generations of mixing.
