Did she expect puppies to be some kind of pinnacle of interest? Did she expect them to be their own kind of miniature pack? Well, no, she absolutely did not which made Meryl's approach all the more curious. It did, however, give her a good chance to give him a good whiff and by Gods, he smelt like Azrael - actually, they all did but how? The boy was too old to be Azrael's unless he had (somehow!) hidden the boy for the better part of a year. No, no, that was too smart for Azrael so either the boy was mistaken or... lord, Azrael had a soft spot. If only Malina had a soft spot or at least a spot that recognised just how sensitive one had to be when it came to pups - instead, she snorted at his comment, her tail flicking out as she lowered her head slightly to meet his gaze levelly, a cool smile over her muzzle.

"Malina, your papa's boss," she laughed before rising, her gaze returning to the others she had initially approached. Well, they wanted to know and at least she was being honest, right? Hah, as if Azrael had told them that he got bossed around by a girl - well, they'd sure as hell know now. Go puppies - go make fun of your father! So distracted by her own laughter that she had not even seen the black ball of stupid that came hurtling towards them until it collided with her leg; she stepped away in surprise, her ears flattening back as she twisted herself to better look at the thing that had hit her.

"Non est meum vitium, quod minimum est cerebrum," she snorted in retort of the girl's complaint, her words coming within a split second - ah, there was the etiquette-less Malina Diveen was used to. Luckily, the thing thought it was best to walk over and start making a fool of itself with the other silly creatures - again, Malina laughed, her paws dancing beneath her as she moved a foot or two away from the gathering.

("It is not my fault your brain is so small.")

Honestly, girls wanted these things? They got fat and gooey just to have silly fluffs come out and make fools of themselves? With such silly names, too! Gecko - bah! Definitely Malum's daughter with a name like that. Sigh, how could they have expected an Omega (past Omega, whatever, not like it mattered) to have a decent idea when it came to naming things? He didn't even have a name as far as Malina was concerned. With a broad grin, her ears fluttered back as she lowered her head once more towards Gecko, a brow rising up expectantly as she babbled on to the others.

"Lizard," she merely breathed before moving back, only to be interrupted by yep, another goddamn ball of fluff. This one, though, was all too obviously the Heir incarnate - just look at it! Strutting about so proud just like Heyel with that silly red muzzle - instantly, Malina pivoted slightly to face him, her lips moving up over her teeth, "I am eating puppies, that is how I get so big."

Just like that, they attacked - she'd hardly had time before Starfall's tiny teeth grazed her paw and instantly, she pulled her head back up, her paw rising just out of reach. She shot him a pointed look, her brows furrowed as she shook her head.

"No! Bad things! Creaturam malam, you are!" she barked, hopping back with her paw still dangling out of reach as if she had suddenly become unaware that her entire form was the target. Alas, it seemed Guardian in all his puppy glory understood that and took to her other paw - without even thinking, she lifted it up too, falling back onto her rear as she swatted at him, attempting to rid of his sharp little teeth. She didn't know which one to swat the most or which one to focus on - there were too many! Too many little silly creatures fitted with teeth - why the hell did the Heavens give them teeth? If she used her teeth on them she'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble but no, they could do as they pleased. Fragile little beasts, get off!

Just as she rocked forward to stand, her paws making one final attempt to rid themselves of Guardian and Starfall, she felt a rather hard nip on the tip of her tail - she released a shrill snarl, her head twisting around instantly to meet the form of Oswin, tail in her mouth and caught red handed. She stood tall, keeping as much of her as possible out of reach as she continued to stare down Oswin with a frown and pout - no, no, no! Too many terrible creatures!

"You! Let go! There are plenty of other tails to bite and mine is not the one you want," she spoke, her voice loud to ensure it was heard loud and clear - pay attention, brats! "Get their tails! I will... I will give you a prize! Yes! The first one to get lizard -" she motioned to Gecko with her muzzle, "Will get a prize! Yes?"

Come on, there had to be something to get them off her.
