One Thing You Should Know [AW]
Vadim was a bit more territorial than a lone wolf should be, that was for sure. He held no claim over this lake, but neither did anyone else it seemed. So why not feel as if this were his own personal abode? His little safe haven away from all the other wolves and predators, that's what this was! The last thing he wanted was to lose a few opportunities for snacks all because of a lingering cat.
As the scent got stronger, he slowed down his angry trotting just a bit and let those large paws fall a bit softer on the ground. He didn't see the cat at all, and to be honest.. he hadn't had enough encounters with them to know that they could climb as high as they could. His molten stare was searching the ground around the pines, and eventually he crouched down onto his forelimbs so he could peek beneath the branches of the pines surrounding him, wondering where on earth this little feline could be.
When the meow from above rang in the air, followed by a surprisingly lyrical voice, he snapped up. That massive, fat head was peering up at the cat with wide eyes that clearly gave away his astonishment. He found himself staring into the eyes of the cat, and for just a slight moment.. admiring the detail in not only the eyes but the many different tones of the cat's markings. It was only for a second, though.. before his 'brow dots furrowed and his lip curled.
He never knew cats could speak to him, so this was more than a little awkward. He didn't expect to have a conversation with her, but here he was! A low rumble started in the behemoth's chest as he stomped one of his front paws down on the earth and stood up sternly.
