Natha curled a paw toward herself, her tongue darting out to lick at the fur for a moment before she took the paw and rubbed it behind her ears. She rather liked it here. The trees were easy to climb and perch on and this high up she got the warmth of the sun and a slight coolness to the breeze. Heaven! She continued working on cleaning herself when she noticed something moving along the forest floor. Natha tucked her hind legs beneath herself, using her forelimbs to help her stabilize as she peered down. Her belly was flush against the branch, her brown, spotted coat blending in perfectly with the tree limbs.
It was a wolf pup! The child must have wandered over from the main gathering. She was a curious child and Natha wasn't quite sure what to make of the wolf as she boasted a set of ram horns. Natha's golden eyes narrowed. That just could not be right. Perhaps it was some sort of helmet the child was wearing as she had never heard of a wolf growing horns. She was also quite certain that wolves could not interbreed with anything other than certain canines. As if this wasn't strange enough the girl then reached out and scratched at a tree! She scratched! With claws that weren't terribly different from Natha's own!
Intrigued she cleared her throat to try and get the girls attention, leaning her head over the side of the branch so that she was a bit more visible. "Has the tree offended you in some way, youngling?" she purred. "Or are you perhaps training for battle?" She could remember tackling logs and battling sticks as a kitten, seeking to sharpen her claws and hone her skills. In general Natha was wary of wolves but the girl got bonus points for having a sensible set of claws. How wolves ever managed with those silly, dull things she would never know but she supposed it was part of the reason cat's were far better hunters.
