The Devil's got a rifle on my front porch
Honestly, it was totally unexpected to find that a child beneath her father's rule was so not good at this whole, well, living business. Really, he could't even drink correctly. Obviously it came down to his mother being a fool or, more likely, he was just a total fool. Seriously, what was he going to do when he got older if he couldn't even properly drink water? Every time she thought about it, she eye rolled and sighed beneath her breath. Utterly ridiculous but at least training him up would get her some merit points, right? What with Maradona learning to heal and Octavia getting to follow their father around everywhere... she had to one up them somehow!
As he lowered into the water to drink, she stood proudly with her chest puffed out, still staring at him with an expectant look. Well, come on! Like what? He wasn't doing anything...
Water. Water everywhere! No! She leapt back as the water came falling down on her, snorting as droplets trailed down her muzzle and forehead. Bewildered, she pawed futilely at her face, only managing to wet it even more from the water her paws had been standing in. She looked... ridiculous, awful, horrendous - oh my god. It took her some time to regain her composure, and the moment she did, she stared up at the boy with perhaps the darkest look any wolf could muster. Pure. Unadulterated. Unhappiness. Even as he bounced about so joyously, she stood stiff legged, her fur messed and soaked... just staring, fuming away and huffing beneath her breath.
"Are you trying to drown me?! Is this some kind of challenge?"
Then it occurred to her, and she flicked her head back and laughed, a wicked chortle. Oh, it all made sense - if she could, she'd damn well do her best to look so flawlessly proud, flashing him a condescending smile.
"Oh, I get it. You don't want to admit that you don't know how to drink. Well, I shall take your drowning attempt as an official challenge. Prepare to fall, infidel."
With that, she charged forward, throwing her weight into (hopefully) him with all the intentions to grab him around the neck with her too-long legs. If he was going to drown her, she was damn well going to drown him too - in dirt and dust! Yes, that was her intention: to force him down, into the dirt and thus, out for the count.
