Asmodeus was still grumbling when the voice sounded behind him, turning to direct his attention towards her and trying not to look too offended that someone got to watch him lose his prey. "Oh, no, not chasing." He clarified, shaking his head slowly as if the very idea was beneath him. "I'm just.." The pup had to stop and think, to come up with a proper explanation that wouldn't sound too outlandish nor make him seem too silly to the adult. "I'm reminding the little woodland creatures of the power of Abraxas, that's all. That duck was scared out of his mind, I let him live because I'm not hungry." He nodded then, convinced by his own explanation. Had he wanted to catch the duck, he definitely would have caught it. Yep.

He turned away from the lake towards her, stepping up and giving her a small sniff before his rapid thoughts distracted him away from introductions. "You know one day I'm going to be such a good fighter that ducks will be beneath me I bet. I won't even see them anymore because they'll smell me coming and run." The boy leaped forward in a mock fighter's stance, spreading his limbs wide and lowering his head between his shoulders to snarl out over the plains. His tail was still wagging, which perhaps he'd need to work on if he wanted to intimidate anything. "What about you? I bet even deer run away from you 'cause you're bigger and stronger."
