Hanging Around

The response she got from the darker colored one was more what she was expecting—agreeing to take the food in exchange for "breaking" their trap even though she was fairly certain it would have broken whether she stepped in it or not and it was an awful use of a trap anyway. She liked to imagine this was the kind of stuff her mom told her about having to have decorum and be patient with wolves that she didn't like for the sake of alliances and things like that. She didn't know what these two could possibly offer her for her kindness, but it was probably better to not create enemies either way unless she knew for sure she didn't need them for anything. Besides, her mother would be back soon enough and if she saw the two hungry boys maybe she'd want to feed them anyway so she might as well make it look like she was doing something really nice for them.

But then the lighter colored brother spoke up, pretty much claiming that she couldn't be trusted and then after some whispering with his brother questioned her, trying to get her to promise not to poison their food. She scoffed and rolled her eyes at that, replying, "Why would I waste perfectly good poisons on you? They're too much trouble to make to use them on some random boys." She hadn't made any personally yet, but she had seen her mother and Irilyth work on stuff like that before and she knew they were dangerous things to mess with! She shrugged her scaled shoulders and added, "I mean if you really don't want it you don't have to take it. I was just trying to be nice." She turned and started to walk away with a flick of her tail, walking off toward the land bridge to get back to the island since she figured her mother would be on her way back soon too and she'd rather be there waiting for her than hanging around these jerks any longer.
