Trying to understand? No, that had been a very clear attempt at judgement, thank you very much. Did this woman really think that trying to backtrack was going to pull her out of the hole she had so neatly dug for herself? Well, whatever; clearly Trisden was the enemy here, you know, the vulnerable young wolf all on her own, and she wasn't about to put up with it. They could just scamper off and laugh at her behind her back, she was sure they'd feel good about that.

"How perceptive of you," Trisden snapped, her muzzle wrinkled in anger as she watched the woman turn her back. She did not wait to see if the other followed suit, though no doubt it would happen. Pathetic. Head held high, for no judgemental wolf from an irrelevant pack mattered to Trisden Lyall, the young girl pressed on, eager to leave this mountain behind her.
