Avoiding the Thought

Cass visibly stiffened in her sitting position, scrutinizing the male with increasing unease. His eyes seemed somewhat detached. Maybe she simply hadn't noticed before, but as the wolf began to mumble in a language unknown to her, his body and facial expression seeming to twist into something deranged.
She let out a barely audible sudden intake of breath as the ominous stranger abruptly laughed, a grating sound that made her grit her teeth. "Where there is smoke, there is fire..." As he moved to slowly circle her, pawpads making a small rustle in the grass, she once again stood, contemplating the urge to flee.
"My lands... as if I own anything..." She inched away from the brute, though still eyeing him with a cautious sense of odd curiosity, trying to decipher his mumbled words, trying to keep up with his eyes as they darted wildly over her. "It is lovely indeed, but no, not mine... what... what is your name again, female?"
The cream-white female hadn't yet decided on a course of action. Make a break for it now, or stay to satisfy the small burning sense of wonder at just what exactly was wrong with this freakish wolf. She doubted, if she did run, that he would be able to catch her. Even with the heightened sense of, well, crazy, he was sporting, she could sense an exhaustion beneath the surface. She could tell in the way he was moving, his breaths. She then decided to probe a little, and make a quick getaway later if she must.
"Cassandra." she spoke slowly and clearly, taking another step away from him but lowering her head to get a good look at his face. "My name is Cassandra." She paused, trying to phrase her words carefully. "Are you... all right? Do you need help, um-" another pause, "What is your name?"
