Eve had a confident that Eto would likely never have - she came forward so self assured, almost proud of her mockery and Eto responded in turn, proud to be tucked away in her dark little corner of the world. She laughed, a wild little noise that echoed off the rocks around them. "Tail fur?" She cocked her head suddenly, jerking forward to meet Eve's eyes once more, "No...no, no. No, no, they take more than that. Is that what you are afraid of?" Her head slowly tilted to its opposite side then. "Your tail fur?" Her eyes roamed down briefly to Eve's tail with an almost testing edge, her memory still burned by the Taviora wolf having betrayed her...after she took his tail fur. Maybe she ought to be afraid of tails, of fur, of it all.

Eve could shout all she wanted, sweet and sour with her voice, but Eto returend to her darkness for those moments then as she scratched away the stone, almost desperate it seemed to find some way out, though truly she sought to move deeper into the shadows, into the darkness. But then the words came and she turned to silence, completely still in the darkness for some moments. It sounded like something her father might say. It made her whine, a whine that edged onto a childish giggle once more. "That's what dada would say," she lilted "but he wanted more than just hooves to run away." She clambered forward once more, almost a different wolf one might think, as she poked out and twisted onto her back like a child, her paws dangling between her and Eve as she swatted them up lazily. Her eyes focused on them, almost in a trance, as she gave Eve the very answer she might have wanted. "He wanted paws! He wanted paws to run away from him! If he did not like the tasty meat on top, of course," she remembered the day he had taken her into the forest after other children, their blood like a mask on his face as he tried to make her play with them. He didn't like their taste very much. She smiled up at Eve then, toothed and cheerful. "But the darkness keeps you safe. Eyes do not go where the light cannot."
