Time to get out of the pool

The adrenaline was still pumping through the girl and her braided tail swished gently back and forth across the ground with a hiss. Kione's voice met marbled ears and Scylla turned her attention to him. She slid the serpentine dagger back into its sheath and gave her head a shake in the negative. "I kind of do what I want," she admitted. Yes, there were rules and guidelines, but she didn't really listen to them all that much. The girl did what she wanted, though she wasn't reckless about it. All decisions were made with a clinical clarity. She only fought the hyena's because Kione was with her and he surely needed the help. Had she been alone, she would have hidden until they were gone.
Compliments were given and Scylla beamed, her mismatched eyes lifting at the corners. "Thanks," she answered. "My paws are different than yours, so using things like this is pretty easy for me. Like extra teeth." When he asked if she liked fighting, she gave her head a little tilt as if considering. "Maybe not so much fighting, but I do like to kill things." It made the tiny creature feel powerful to take the life of another. Plus... after they were dead, she could do so many things to the bodies. "I like to see what's inside of things. Sometimes I put them back together. Sometimes I put them together with something else," she spoke, not even thinking for a minute that the spotted dog might think her mad.
Kione offered to take her out killing again and Scylla nodded fervently, her maw splitting in a grin. "I'm the eldest princess of Fenmyre. I can go where I wish. Besides," she added, "As long as I'm out learning and honing my skills, I think my dad would be happy for me to be doing this with pack instead of alone, right?" Logic. It worked. Chimera would want his daughter to be accompanied because he knew that she was going to get into trouble on her own.
When the offer of a ride was given, Scylla's eyes flashed again. Not that she needed one, but it was offered so she couldn't get her mind off of it. Maybe just a little ride? In the end, she nodded. "Maybe a short one." She then glanced towards the corpses. "Pity to leave all of these furs here, don't you think? How heavy do you think a hyena skull is?" Endless questions flew through her mind though she only voiced a fraction of them.
Scylla should be seen as a very adult character who will indulge in acts that others may find graphic and uncomfortable. Steer clear if you don't like this sort of thing.
