Esperanza had heard the male and turned her head slightly. She wished she had a more lighter pelt to help keep herself cooler from the sun's rays of intense and overpowering heat. Her ears flicked and her emerald eyes met those of the brute next to her.

"What is your name...?" she asked over pants as she tried to keep herself cool again.
