She stood firm, unwilling to back down to this insolent little insect. All she had done was start some harmless small talk and offer a wise suggestion. Not being in the best of moods, Neha certainly could have phrased it more nicely. This male, as far as she could tell who was a loner, took it upon himself to get too close and to press her boundary further. Add in a bad attitude on not just his end but hers as well, and the stage was set for conflict. He issued one last threat and the Vuesain welcomed it openly.

"Looks like someones momma didn't teach them basic manners..." She rumbled. What a potty mouth he had on him! Even she had been raised better to at least mind her her language. She'd just have to force it all on the boy herself. Dark lips peeled back into a silent snarl, ears pricking forward in a show of intimidation. She made a false lunge for his scruff, but would allow her shoulder to collide firmly against his chest, should he be too slow to back up. It was little more than a shove, just to get the point across that Neha wasn't fooling around.

The time for spewing insults back and forth at one another was over. The young male had lit the flame that was her wrath and Neha was only too happy to tend it. Her tactic worked. He stumbled back, allowing her the momentum she needed to send her shoulder jarring into his chest. She hadn't really expected him to react with the fury that he did.

They were both wolves that had been pushed too far, thanks to the others doing. As jaws parted to seek ahold of the skin of her face, she reeled back, lips twisted into an ugly snarl. The sting of teeth pinching against the delicate flesh of her cheek soon registered. Instinctively narrowing her eyes into slits for protection. He wanted to play dirty by grabbing her face? Fine. Her teeth may be useless at the moment, but she had other tools at her disposal. She swatted at his face with one ivory fore paw, to coax him to let go. The nails on a wolfs paw weren't nearly as sharp or as deadly as that as say, a mountain lions, but they could still do some damage.
