amber eyes focused upon the girl with mild curiosity. was she daft, or just slow? perhaps any sort of intelligence was a high expectancy from any of the wolves that resided within these lands. jaws clenched tightly in anticipation as the ginger wolf casually observed the stranger tumbling, tumbling, down the sharp slope that apparently...she hadn't seen. "clumsy chit." kali muttered darkly, although inwardly, the bitter bitch found herself slightly amused. nostrils flared as the strangers scent was taken in, annoyance plastered itself clear across her contorted features as it was becoming increasingly obvious her senses had become slightly askew since the accident. so, to kali's displeasure, all she could manage to snatch from the others musk was what she happened to be rolling in. trees, dirt, rodent excrement.

how wonderfully enjoyable that would be to abrade.

finally, it seemed the ebony girl was done with her ride, and was now focusing a bit to hard on kali herself. far to hard. hackles bristled lightly, a natural instinct to defend herself had built up since visiting the pleasant wolves of swift river. glistening lips quivered with distinct aggression as they peeled back over her teeth, a low, rumbling snarl vibrated in her chest in warning. "'tis rude ta stare, lass. best be makin' yer way back home." jaws parted, that thick salmon tongue of hers slithered out to curl over her dry nose in a useless attempt to moisten it. even so close to the water, her wounds had caused her to fall and pathetically she had begun to crawl towards the lake. but there was no way she'd stood to such weakness while there was another around. oh, no. kali's pride was far to pompous for that.

she at least didn't seem to ignorant. the ebony chit was careful not to look directly at her, and for that itself - kali was grateful. not because she cared for any sort of dominance or rank at this point, merely for the fact that she was rather beat up and damaged. like a toy played with to much. the blood on her pelt had long since dried up and for the most part, she looked a damn mess. the female's words weren't the least bit threatening, so kali allowed herself to relax - if only for a moment. upon further inspection, kali realized a bit sadly that this girl looked a lot like her daughter might have...had the pup survived. brow furrowed deeply as the memories flooded her mind. with a snort she brushed them aside, ignoring pain building up in her chest.

rebecca seemed all to content to simply ignore her and marvel at the beauty of the lake. which was fine with her, until, of course, she spoke once more to her. hi? what a conversation starter. hackles lowered, as it was obviously that this chit was far from being even the slightest threat - even in her current condition. it did bother her a bit; however, that the black girl was able to quench her thirst so easily upon the seemingly delicious blue liquid that glittered tauntingly at her with help of the lowering sun. auds pressed tightly against her skull as out of habit, kali licked her parched lips. "i cannae quite tell, lass, but are ye from one o' those damnable packs?" the mutter was slightly cautious, feeling that if she were - there'd be reason to worry again. if not, then perhaps kali could use her to satisfy her thirst.

and possibly have her help with quickening the healing of these wounds.

there seemed to be bother bitterness in her words, and cockiness in her stance. so, she'd managed to piss of both packs? how amusing. and how utterly unfortunate for her in the long run. though, perhaps there was more than just two? jaws closed, the loud snapping sound that reverberated from them caused an echo over the lake, fish stirred gently. finding the action greatly irritated her jaw bone, the ginger bitch was careful not to do something so foolish again. at rebecca's proclamation, kali couldn't help but chortle huskily. was she blind as well? who on earth would find her the least bit pleasing to the eye. blood soaked, tattered and beaten, scarred to almost complete blindness of her left eye. a snort rushed from her nostrils and filled the air with disgust - at herself.

turning her attention to her back leg while the other seemed preoccupied with a self-inflicted wound, her teeth worked at trying to abrade what dried blood she could from her fur. salmon tongue lashed out to loosen it's thickened mass. the metallic, stale taste of the blood made a scowl twist itself upon her facade. teeth ground together in annoyance, this would be so much easier if she could just crawl to the water and soak. but the ginger girl would not lower herself to such pathetic displays with the other so keen on watching her. sharply defined ears swiveled wildly atop her vibrant skull, those gleaming eyes stared at the girl for a long moment. "dare is nothin' bonny about me, lass" she muttered in a rather unladylike, gruff tone.

shoulders rolled forwards as the amazonian femme used the well defined muscles in her legs to force herself up, to stand up. pain radiated up her spine, through her legs - blasting a party of twitching nerves throughout her physique. but somehow she managed. growling lowly beneath her breath, kali realized this was her own fault. after all, who in their right mind would force pain upon themselves -- all for the sake of their pride? the girl snorted distastefully and limped towards the water. "ya gawk an' i'll eat'cher eyes oyt." was all she could manage to snap out before her tongue lashed out to meet the cool, refreshing liquid of the lake. a sigh escaped from her ebony lips, and her body visibly relaxed - this truly was a beautiful place.

the younger female seemed intent upon calling kali beautiful. perhaps there was a certain morbidly beautiful attraction to the scars, the blood, the fresh new wounds that adorned her amazonian physique. and yet, as her vibrant amber eyes shifted to stare at her own rippling reflection, the ginger bitch couldn't find it. only the disgusting visage of a woman scorned -- she could only see the sins writing themselves upon her mask of shame. kali wanted so badly to simply lift her paw a abrade the damnable stuff off. but anyone with eyes could see the wrong she had committed. apart of her wanted to think that murder - if justified - was right. but deep down, in the beating, annoying heart she had, the femme knew it was only mother earth's right to take and give life.

kali sighed deeply at the ebony chit's words, a smirk playing slowly across her scarred visage. "ya 'av ta earn yer scars, lass." she murmured lowly, her irish tunes a husky flow of musical whimsy. scars weren't something you went looking for. they were accidents, products of war, or great fights that took place in your life. without meaning, they were worthless and simply something to look down upon. auds pressed against her skull once more as the ginger, blood tinged girl shifted and slowly began dabbling into the cool waters of the lake. a circle of what seemed like a dark dye surrounded her frame as the blood was washed away from her vibrant coat. turning her gaze to stare at the girl once more, kali felt bad slightly. why? damned if she knew. "cum nigh, stop yer cryin', wee chit. it'll be gran'."

ooc: haha, here are the translations. <3
it means: "you stare and i'll eat your eyes out."
"ya 'av ta earn yer scars, lass." means: "you have to earn your scars, girl.
"cum nigh, stop yer cryin', wee chit. it'll be gran'." means: "come now, stop your crying, little girl. it'll be alright."

a look of utter confusion crept across her ginger features, those procellous eyes narrowing almost suspiciously at the girl as her question popped out. wheatears? it sounded like some sort of childish horror monster that one would tell to a bunch of pups in order to get them to bed. a low snort ushered forth from her moist nostrils, dry humor glittering in her eyes. long, powerful legs carried her through the surface of the water like a knife through butter, slowly she tread, wishing to remove all the blood and gore from her coat so she'd be seen as less a threat to those less fortunate in the logic department.

with a low sigh, kali shifted and swam back to shore, her movements slow and pained. grunting beneath her breath, the ginger forced herself onto the bank with a huff. panting gently, she allowed herself to linger there - if only for a moment, to rest. auds swiveled forth, perking at the other girls restless movements. it was obvious she wanted to tell her something, obvious that she wasn't going to go away. what harm would it do to allow the girl to speak and babble on about whatever it was that plagued her mind. "i 'av not an inklin' as ter waaat yer blatherin' about. so, go on, tell me about tha wheatears, den." came her murmured husk of words, her body finally began to relax.
