This moment was like playing with fire. Her small stature pressed so close to his larger one, her subtle ways to dominate the scene and take advantage of his prone position. All Carnifex has to do is leap up and squeeze her throat between his thick jaws and it will be done. What hope could she have to escape such a fate if he got his jaws around her? There is a wariness within her at the way his dark eyes seem to gleam with some inner curiosity because she does not know him. He is handsome, he is strong, and she has her wiles to tempt him with and so she would because in the end it might be the only thing that saves her. Thinking hopefully about strangers has never helped much in the past and something about Carnifex was... predatory. Dominant. Not at all the kind of wolf that would let things go with a well 'goodbye'. Besides, he is a tasty morsel that she wishes to feast from and it cannot be said that Malleah was not a wanton creature at times for the very idea of him touching her.. well, it has it's effect.

A coy smile rests upon her gray muzzle as her eyes flick down to him, tilting her maw somewhat to strike her own pose. Sometimes begin small and slender gave her a very lovely look; elegant, refined. Things that she had taken pains to try and achieve since there was no hope of her ever growing larger and more formidable. He is a witty male and relaxes with her humor with ease, answering her questions with a sort of mysterious air that draws her in close. So close now that Malleah has leaned her head down so that their muzzles almost touch, staring into his eyes.

"Only part is it? Well, I suppose I must find out the other parts from sleuthing then. You are, after all, quite a specimen in the male gender, Carnifex. I do not hold compliments when it is true." Now it was time to play a more seductive game, her body rising even while her head remains lowered so that she moves around his back now, tail coming out to rub against the curve of his jaw and her small figure stepping across the lower half of his body, a tactic that will have her hover over him for a moment ot test his need for dominance - Malleah must first figure out the boundaries of the game before setting her own.

"Such broad shoulders you have, and fine hips if I may." Now she lowers her maw, nipping at the tender skin where his hind leg meets his stomach in a most seductive way before stepping further over him, dragging one back paw across his form while turning her twinkling pink-red eyes towards his face. "Legs built for running or fighting. Do you fight often, Carnifex?"
