I stretched languidly in my den, my lithe form spreading out across the floor. My steely eyes glanced over towards the den's entrance, catching the slowly fading light from outside. Dusk happened to be one of my favorite times on the mountain- both for watching the sun set over the entirety of Moladion and also for catching fireflies. It was rare that my jaws could snap around one of the peculiar insects, but it was incredibly entertaining to feel it buzzing around my mouth in the seconds before I let it fly once more. I was sure that there was a modicum of pride involved too- after all, it took a special wolf to catch a firefly (that's what I told myself, at least). And if my brother forbade me from bird hunting, well, I would just have to terrorize the other creatures that roamed the skies.

I hadn't been doing much exploring or firefly catching or sunset watching lately, though. Because the wolf I loved doing it with the most and I hadn't exactly been on speaking terms as of late, and I had quickly realized that it wasn't much fun on your own. Almost as if on cue, Hollowpoint himself called my name. My ears flicked quickly towards the entrance, and as always I felt the familiar tug that caused me to want to jump up and bury myself in his chest. I was nothing, however, if not childish, and so I resisted the urge. I could certainly play hard to get.

I took my time getting up, finding a place for a few more stretches before rising and slipping outside. The fading light only enhanced my supple, feminine frame, and I knew it, moving a bit more... feline than I usually would. My eyes were a tad angry as I looked up at him, but I kept the rest of my face a mask. I wasn't angry so much as I was upset; I felt... betrayed, almost, and I didn't really know how to handle it.

My tail gave a few small wags, though there was little behind it other than a friendly greeting that I would offer to any wolf. If he wanted to downplay our relationship, well, so could I. "Hi there, Hollowpoint." I said breezily. "Lucky you caught me. I was just on my way... out."
