I claim this land as my own

- and so she arrived, gliding across the ground in a rolling stride, long-haired pelt of orange draped over her large frame, stalwarts hidden under layers of hair lightly matted with natural wear. celestial eyes lingered on those before her as she approached, an endless smile plastered upon her countenance, and her gait became more of a bounce, whole form seeming to vertically ripple with every spring-like strike and lift of her limbs. her tail flashed from side to side, but a fiery blur that dusted the air of its stagnancy.



- earth-rimmed auds slanted forward to quench their ever-lasting thirst upon two introductions. one was tainted strongly with confidence and undeserved power, the liquid of what would have been pure sustenance soiled by these characteristics. the second was of neutral tones; the syllables were not pure but not harmed, and jupiter found this timbre to her liking, so it was the male that she turned her attentions lightly upon, though her optics remained steady on the what would soon undoubtedly be two fighting canines.



- a giggle of cheerful and light proportions bubbled from the fae's cavernous chest before she could introduce herself. observant gaze had quickly discovered what was pride in the other fae's eyes, and the source of such was easy to guess. who wouldn't be proud of themselves for finding what they thought was a land void of another wolf's scent? what else was there to be proud of? the irony was appalling! under a masterful veil of her outward personality--which was nothing but innocent humor at the moment--jupiter scoffed at such stupidity.



- "it's funny," she whispered to the brute who had evenly introduced herself, still stifling giggles that had been forced for so long in the past that they now were as natural and instinctive as breathing, "because she probably thinks that she's the first one to have ever found this land!" another peal of choppy, almost-childish laughter pushed uncontrolled from her form. jupiter was native to this land, and to think that these newcomers (or at least this one) was so idiotic to think that these paths had not been walked before by lupine paws was ridiculous. already the lass within her guise was making bets on how long they would last. not more than a month or two, she commented, but then revised her mental statement. well, for this pack, if this one rules.



- a land so lush in resources and prey required a natural predator to control the population of creatures stranded on the lower link of the food chain--thus was the simple law of life and nature. to think that such a plain fact could evade the conscience of any creature sucked hope for her race's intelligence from her mind. all of these thoughts occurred safely under the ploy of an actor's skills, and even her bright eyes revealed not her inner musings. jupiter widened her beam and allowed her path of sight to rest upon and examine the obsidian lad a few feet before her.



- "anyway, i'm jupiter! but you can call me jup if you want!" she introduced cheerfully, settling comfortably upon her haunches and prepared to watch a lovely show unfold. "isn't this so exciting?" came her ecstatic, enthusiastic exclamation as she appeared to struggle to sit still. jupiter's tail created a steady drumbeat against the ground as it collided again and again with what was the familiar soil of her homeland, and she waited.
