A Chance At A New Life

Laxton looked like he just about jumped out of his skin when she made her introductions. His ears were pinned back as he watched her closely, clearly not trusting her not to try to attack him or something. His tail was not lowered, so obviously he was willing to defend what was his if necessary. Then she was talking about prey and how she couldn't hunt such game, and his stance started to soften towards her, but not completely.

He backed up from the corpse and shook his head towards it. "Go ahead then," he said, his tone sounding neutral, as he backed up further, as to keep at least ten feet away from her, in case she turned on him and tried to attack him.
