A Lie Is Only A Lie If They Figure It Out

A flash of teeth, an intimidating snarl, aggressive stances. The two wolves in front of her clearly meant business. Did the little girl care? Frankly, not currently. Her life meant nothing if she didn't fight for what was her's. Borders or not, she had chased that doe, hunted that doe, killed that doe all by herself which meant she was taking it home to where it belonged. "It is only stupid if I mean harm," Delphi snaps back at Asla, her ears furrowing farther into her fur as her own lips peel back to reveal sharp teeth.

Before she could understand what Asla had meant, she felt Khran pick her back up. Dangling in the air, nearly helpless, she didn't give in. Wrestling, thrashing, struggling until her shruff was nearly tearing. "You'll regret this," Delphi seethed as she glared up at the wolf carrying her to the Heidinn and Valta borders. In a way, the echoing and commanding howl from Asla calmed her nerves. Knowing that her adopted grandfather would be here soon to collect her only lit the fire in her belly more. With Vidarr at her back, she was unstoppable.

Moments later, she is spat back onto the ground, teetering on the edge between the two packs. Whirling to face Asla, she once more lunges to snap at Khran's toes as a warning to stay away from her before Asla's cutting words pierce her pinned ears. There is no chance to respond. The Sumatar gives her no room for rebuttal as that piercing amaranthine gaze buries daggers into her. Instead of backing down, Delphi straightens up, standing tall, and returns the glowering look with one of her own. Even when Asla flashed her fangs, Delphi only responded by flashing her own growing canines that were beginning to peek out from under her top lip.

Delphi feels the threat is empty. Did Asla not understand who she was? Vidarr was only one of many wolves that she would rely on. In her mind, she had done no harm. The doe was from Heidinn lands. Her parents had taught her that borders were only to keep bad guys out. She wasn't a bad guy. No, she was a friend. Or at least she thought she was. Her fury, her hatred, her angst, all of those bitter and cruel feelings continue to build in her even after Asla softens and tells her that Vidarr will decide her punishment. Delphi can't help but snort at the comment.

Thankfully for the pup, Vidarr shows up before she can allow any more damaging words to leave her. Her eyes finally leave Asla to look up at Vidarr, but they do not soften either. His pointed look only pushes her rage as she lets out a rumbling and childish growl. "Som du vill, gubbe," she grumbles back at him before finally relaxing ever so slightly as he turns to address Asla and offer his apologies. Delphi's fur bristles still as she bites her tongue. Now that Vidarr is in her company, she has to be careful. She has to behave.
