While the male became rilled at her words she still had yet to even cross borders into their pack as no invitation had been issued. Her gaze though humored was cold and calculating. She was at a disadvantage both in youth and size but she had taken time to learn a deal of fighting and she tucked her throat as instinct demanded but she didn’t lift a lip If the male started a fight then her wounds would be proof enough to Lady Zelda to warrant some repercussion. Mara Sov wouldn’t start a war for her family or pack sake but she questioned if the male was willing to go that far. Especially to attack a wolf who wasn’t inducing on pack territory. Her mind began to wonder what other packs wouldn’t tolerate such actions. It only took a moment for Kalseru to step in and yet she was unwilling to change her stance in defense. The fact that formality seemed to be mistaken was a curious thing but in these moments it mattered little and on the woman’s note of his words being handled to be fair, she didn’t care at all what she did to her pack member. It wasn’t her business The words the woman mentioned was clear perhaps she had offered without knowing or perhaps they both misunderstood her formality or notion for business. No matter, she decided she would do her best to explain and hope whatever happens could be seen with reason.

Mara Sov had remained silent through all of the tasteless insults and even grand words spoken to her. The glint of amusement at the male was well hidden but still there all the same. Still, Mara was above the ‘well he started it’ act. Frankly, she didn’t care but she wasn’t one that would take being trampled upon with grace. Her blood wouldn’t even allow it. “Speaking for myself and no longer my pack, Lady Kalseru, I speak truth littered formality. I say with a due respect out of formality and I interjected my perception of your companions greeting. While I admire you covering for your pack member, I am certain it was obvious his feelings and your own differ. You answered yourself as to why I wish it was more of a pleasantry seeing as you have been an old ally to my home I had hoped to be welcomed warmly. Nothing I offered was a backhanded compliment from what I can see, but your opinions are your own I do not intend to offend in the name of my pack. When I spoke of getting to know you your own better I didn’t account for a singular pack member distaste in myself from judging the entirety of your pack or even yourself. While I hope we can meet alone some time to work on a rocky personal foundation I will keep your words in mind but I would like you to consider what you see as meant to be an insult isn’t always that, merely a formality. I bear no ill will to you or your pack, I will seek to meet with you later perhaps, should you be welcoming to that.” Mara Sov’s gaze was cold and devoid of emotions as she turned half way and paused to glance back; “I will give your regards to Lady Zelda. I perceive that our business for now is finished here, Good day.” Her words held a hint of formality to them and but it was undeniable she was unmoved with the events that transpired. While she didn’t question and wouldn’t intentionally jeopardize Zelda’s alliances. After all, she judged one wolf, not the entire pack. With one last gaze, she headed off to handle business elsewhere.
