Aldonza was vain. It was her sin above any other right now, and it was why she had reacted in such a way upon seeing the other girl. No, the damage wasn't so bad as to make the girl's beauty fade, but it was a shock and Aldonza was too vain to see anything but something terrible in what had happened, the missing things. If this had happened to her, she knew she would be crushed by it, that her dreams would seem to shatter one by one in front of her, and she cannot help but wonder if this girl's dreams were broken. It was not a good feeling to be having, and Aldonza wanted to shake it off of herself. She wanted to shake away the sight of this female and keep going.

Aldonza all but curled in upon herself as if to defend herself from what she'd seen and all the possiblities that had come with it. There was no doubt that the female had once been very pretty, but for the lacking parts, Aldonza could not say that the female was that now. But Aldonza was shallow, too shallow to be any good around a female that had gone through the things that the one in the berry bushes obviously had. Aldonza was at the stage in her life where looks were everything and she was doing her best to groom until she was soft and silky and her fur set just right, to where she wanted to move like a graceful thing and be desired. No good could come from this meeting.

She wanted to move away and not look back, to forget she had seen anything -- anyone -- with missing parts today. Yet there was no erasing this from her memory. Even less, because now the girl was talking to her. Aldonza looked frozen, blinking at where the voice had come from, knowing exacly who was speaking. Or what that wolf looked like. "You... you're missing parts. But why?" It was all she could really manage to say of the matter, though it was a too obvious thing to say about the situation. But yes, Aldonza would think she was afraid of the female because of that, and perhaps all that had been said in the short words she had spoken in reply.
