The long coated tawny female seemed to be far more aware of her surroundings than the cocky lighter tawny wolf who was darting about not three wolf lengths from where she had settled in the bushes to wait, hoping to catch even a glimpse of her brother to be convinced all was well with the golden male. She knew he was doing well, but she had to see for herself.

With the stranger being so preoccupied with the vole at his feet, back to her, a cheeky glint sparked in her honey golden eyes and she contemplated sneaking up on him and trying to steal one without being noticed. With the wind where it was and his apparent self absorption she didn't doubt it was possible but decided against it. It would serve better to introduce herself first. Rising soundlessly from her prone position and stalking forward she sat behind the stranger and playfully batted at his tail in an attempt to get his attention. It would serve him right if she had been a cougar and landed squarely on his back with claws drawn.

She giggled at his mention of Grizzly Hollow, either he had been up to no good or had been thinking of defecting maybe? Or perhaps it was just an honest slip of the tongue. "Grizzly Hollow huh? You smell of Copper Rock Creek." she said, the teasing spark back in her eyes. Oh this was too good, finally she could have some fun. "Perhaps I should call to my friends and let them know they have an intruder on their borders?" the young wolf Kashikoi seemed nice enough for a scrap of a wolf, not that he could do much against this brute, but a howl could potentially bring the whole pack down on them... At least she would have a chance to see her brother...

She had been so serious for so long. The pull ripping at her insides until she either wanted to rip somebody's throat out or run until she found where she was meant to be going, but her recent spate of run-ins had been both informative and invigorating. Her stomach was full, her coat was untangled, and the pull had receded to a slight tug while she had been lurking in the general vicinity of her brothers pack, never quiet getting close enough for her scent to be picked up on patrols, deliberately. Her brother didn't need to know she was here.

"You can keep your rat." She said with a teasing smile. Her stomach was still full from the hunt she had shared with the young male near her new den and she had been returning to it whenever hunger took her. She could scent the males tracks as well but they never seemed to cross paths. Probably for the best. There was no need to be forming any more than an occasional mutually beneficial partnership. She debated whether to make her name a game but knew the stranger would never guess. "Naira." she said with a smile.

She outright laughed at his sudden embarrassment. "Now why would my little brother want to kill you? Unless you were disrespectful or running your mouth... From what I've heard so far he's grown to be rather serious." she said with a twinkle in her eye. She had actually been hoping to catch the female Wille, but this male may be just as informative.

"I'm just passing though." She said as she began to stretch, considering continuing on her way. She had experience with his type before and while it may be fun to play with him she was growing bored. "Anything fun to do around here?"

She had seen the glint in his eyes more than once before in her short life. Her pack had come under attack more that once and she was no stranger to fighting, but she still couldn't place if this male was being playful or serious. She wasn't surprised he had had a run in with her brother but if he was attempting to get his revenge through her, he would be sadly mistaken.

Her head lowered to protect her throat and her hackles raised instinctively, tail thrashing from side to side. If he was serious, she was ready.

A snarl of her own ripped from her throat in answer to his growl as she dodged several badly timed nips but caught others on her hide. His tactics left her baffled, there didn't seem to be any malice in the attacks, more as if he were testing her. About the only thing he was managing to successfully test was her patience.

She had had enough and she charged the male, aiming the full force of her blow at his flank, but keeping her teeth to herself. This man had nothing on Chulyin in bulk and he had worked hard to make sure his younger siblings were always ready for a fight. At the last possible moment she bunched her muscles and leapt over the wolf who was attempting to block her way. She stopped at the edge of the tree line to look over her shoulder with a giggle and ran. If he decided to follow her it was his own call.
