crying wolf

Ruin watched, observed, with keen interest as the strange creature stood there and weighed up her words. Not a drop of fear coursed through her veins, as thus far the world hadn't proven to be a scary place. Ma spoke of danger and strangers who might do her harm but they were out of sight and mind to the little Cavaliere-Klein, vague concepts it would take her a while to grasp. She knew though that animals with long and spindly legs were skittish, even fleeing at the mere scent of a wolf, so she couldn't help but wonder what it would take to scare this creature, what buttons she and her brother would need to press...It sounded like a fun game, one that could be aided along with the clever use of a lie or two.
Only that the stranger said she could easily eat them if she so chose. That might have been the truth, since not everyone was a liar like Ruin, but her whole plan would fall apart if that was the case.
"Yeah?" She asked, ignoring the icy chill of the strangers voice. Instead Ruin leaned against her brother, urging him to keep calm and follow her lead."Show us your teeth!" She ordered, calling the strangers bluff as she gnashed hers together, showing off her stubby canines. Still sharp enough to cut but not all that deep just yet. Not that they'd do much against a creature that made even her big brother seem tiny, but it was worth a shot. "Or else!"
