of sinners and saints

. . .

Silverback had half expected the she-wolf to laspe into silence and just enjoy being groomed by the thing that could eat her at any second. ...In her head it somehow made sense. - But that wasn't the case. The wolf was still curious, still searching. She wanted to know what the leopard's initial intent had been with the offer, and asked several different question. The feline asnswered the last one first, with a rumbling from out of the depths of her chest. "Not at all."

-And then went on to address the others: "I am a solitary creature by nature and I could not abide to have something always trailing along after me and breathing over my shoulder." She shuddered. Perhaps an exception would come in time - like when... if she ever got to have cubs. But now that, that was not an option. "No, I desire company every so often, but I refuse to make it a burden upon myself. My intent follows somewhere along the lines of taking a few wolves captive in caves much this one - where there is no escape but through death or my good will. There they will remain," she murmured. She didn't mind letting this particular fae in on her wicked plans. She somehow seemed like one to understand, but even if not, it mattered little to the cat. She thought it was a delightful idea, and was partially willing to begin with Canttina.

She sighed gently. "But you-" she gave a series of licks to the canine's cheek fur, "You do not need towers and stone to make you play my games." Such a good little puppy. It rather made Silverback want to keep her all the more - a fact made evident by her sudden opening of the muzzle to let a bit of ivory fang stroke through the wolf's cheek fur - far too gently to break the skin.

Usually Silverback wouldn't give a rat's tail for the intial emotions of those she hold prisoner, but Canttina... They were already on such a good level, she would not drive the girl to resentment through unnecessary force. She would give her a choice, and perhaps, if she did chose to become the start of the leopard's hoard, she would be allowed out on odd occasions and during the season of her heat so she could have her fill of the world.
