Man or a monster?

Atreyu knew she would be instigating when she said what she did. The instant the words were out of her mouth, the spotted woman turned back around to see if he had heard her only to catch his smaller form stomping back across the beach. His dog followed along with him as he closed the distance between them and stopped just a breath away from her. The male's words were like a toxin flowing into her, taking root in something old and primeval within her. She suddenly didn't care that pain could overshadow anger, she wouldn't be giving this male any kind of satisfaction.

His harshness was not lost on her, nor was the dominant way he came at her. Anger curled its way through her body, making her stand up to her full height of forty-four inches, her toes flexing their cat-like claws in the sand. No one, not even her own parents...No one would tell her what to do. She gave a growl in response, "You know, I think I'll enjoy this glowing beach a little longer. And since you're all in my business, would you like to join me?" She gave a wide smile in the wake of his posturing. Atreyu's own spotted tail raised above her hips and her hackles raised. Though his posture and words promised violence, Atreyu found she was more amused than angry.
