Muscle to muscle, toe to toe

Alena was so focused her task that she didn't even register that there was a scent of another wolf on the air. The most attention her brain gave that little detail was a tiny alarm bell in the back of her mind. She pushed it aside though, figuring that it was just a residue of some passing wolf. She hadn't seen anyone else in these ruins today so she thought that was a sound assumption. She was clearly proven wrong, however, when the voice of a brute echoed out around her. She jerked to a sudden stop, her defenses immediately going up. The last time she had let her guard down here it had ended badly for her and she wasn't about to make the same mistake twice. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Her fears appeared unfounded, however, when a young brute, probably not much over his second year, stepped out into her path. She relaxed a little, but still kept her eye out for other wolves all the same. Her ear twitched with slight impatience at the young wolf's questions. She hated losing a trail and the longer she stood here with him the more likely she was going to do just that. "I'm looking for a wolf," she answered simply, the gentle timbre of her voice not matching the cold intelligence of her violet eyes. She was made to deceive, it was what made her great at her job. The ability to lull wolves into a sense of security made it all the easier to get close to them. "I don't really have time to stop and chat, so if you want to talk, you're going to have to walk with me," she told him, brushing past the young brute and searching for the trail she had been following, finding it again after a moment and moving forward again.
