Let The Sun Touch My Face [AW]

Se stuck her tongue out at him playfully as he mentioned multiple packs warring over and losing a single particular piece of land. "Are you not worried your pack will also be wiped out in a siege for the plains? Seems like a common occurence." Sure, it wasn't the most normal thing to make a joke out of, but she prided herself in pushing some boundaries, liking to stay on the edge of what was acceptable and what wasn't. Sometimes she did go a bit far admittedly, but she was learning each time she pushed, and lately hadn't gotten into too much trouble with her antics.

A soft bark of laughter left her lips at the mental image of Ardyn rolling around in carcasses when he was younger; it was not too dissimilar from her own days as a young wolf herself. "Not as bad as being caught in the middle of the night snacking on the food prepared for the next morning's celebration breakfast." She considered it as one of her finest moments, though her parents would beg to differ, and she had definitely not learned her lesson even after being put in a time out. It was safe to say she hadn't been allowed anywhere near the food storage for a long while after that incident.

It seemed as if her attempt at flirting had gone completely unnoticed by Ardynn, but she wasn't put off in the slightest. Inoki didn't really care if things went anywhere or not, but she would be absolutely delighted if they did, as she could only imagine what other surprises the male had hidden away. But he seemed very interested in knowing more about the potential cure she spoke of, and she nodded in response to his questions. She felt as if she could name at least most of what has been used, and give a description of the rest, but before she could actually open her mouth to speak, the musky sent of a grizzly reached her, and suddenly Ardyn had turned around to face it.

She skittered back from the large boulder, eyes widened at the sheer size of the bear Ardyn was facing head on, and for a moment she considered just high-tailing it our of there. But then she steeled her nerves, took a deep breath, and told herself that she needed to be brave and help out Ardyn, as he had been nothing but nice and helpful to her. Inoki then darted around the boulder and took a running leap at the grizzly bear, aiming to squarely jump on top of its shoulders and latch onto the nape of its neck where it's teeth and claws couldn't reach her.
