The pair struggled to keep a sighting on the pale wolf as the spectral bodies of mist strolled around her form, but her words carried through well enough. Nurra stayed as tensed as before even while the stranger told her that she wasn't in danger, but the dark wolf's companion responded differently, and whispered again into Nurra's ear, "Ssee? She'ss not going to hurt uss! Let me say hi!"

She dismissed her serpentine friend with a low, short growl. Then she heard the white lady confess to hearing the both of them, and she grew a bit nervous. She would have to cover this up quickly! "Hmph - I wasn't talking to anyone! It must be the wolf flesh getting to you; I heard cannibalism can make you crazy!" she said, trying to sound and look as confident as usual, and doing quite well. She put on a smile and kept her head high, but it would soon be dashed away when her little pet decided that she didn't like her plan.

"You're alwayss trying to hide me! What if I wanted to make friendss too? I'll yell..." she whispered. Again Nurra responded in Japanese like talking in code to her friend, hoping in vain that the stranger wouldn't see through it. "私はあなたを守ろうとしてんだよ!" "彼女は私たちが安全であると言いました。" "彼女は私が安全であろうと述べた、あなたわけではありません!" "まあ、私は彼女を... uh... not afraid... of her, anyway!" "I don't want to get into a fight over this. If she's anything like my pack -" "Hey, she can hear you!"

"She... oh." Her speech had slipped into English! How could that have happened? Distracted by her argument with Shinibana, she had even stopped looking at the misty wolf and let down her defenses! She stood there, with a dumbfounded look on her face as the snake poked her head up from between her ears, laughing, and then called out to the stranger as loud as her tiny lungs could, "Hello, wolf!" An annoyed Nurra looked up at Shinibana, and with a growl said to her, "That was your plan, wasn't it?" Shini only kept a smug smile on her little mouth, confirming without words Nurra's accusation.


(OOC: Shinibana isn't fluent in Japanese, Nurra is teaching her. That's probably relevant information to this post.)
