At first, she had trouble processing what was going on. Serra stared blankly at the slightly larger figure, eyeing the masculine creature as it laughed, taking a long moment to realize that he was laughing at her. She was immediately offended, blue eyes narrowing to shoot him a nasty look as the wolf dropped onto his front paws and then collapsed entirely, laughing so joyously that Serra felt her anger fading as soon as it surfaced. By the time that he addressed her, Serra was smiling a little, the tension slowly flowing from her muscles as she wagged her tail just slightly. "That you did," Serra agreed, her tone somewhere between annoyed and amused. She wasn't sure which she felt more strongly at that moment, head tilting slightly to the side as she examined the wolf as he laughed so joyously.
Finally, he simply looked so ridiculous that Serra found herself laughing as well, tail wagging just slightly in the air behind her. "My name is Serra," She found it difficult to get the words out around her laughter, but Serra settled back on her haunches as she spoke, quickly assuming that this wolf was not a threat. After all, if he had wanted to hurt her, he would have when he jumped out at her. And laying on his stomach laughing as he was, Serra couldn't find it in herself to think of this Salamander as a threat to her safety.
Serra was still laughing a little when she spoke again, tail thumping happily against the earth, "That was good!" She commended him, surprised by how . . . not upset she was. But he had been so proud of himself that it had been impossible for Serra to stay upset, and anyways, if Serra had been more of a prankster, she probably would have done it herself. "What brings you here, Salamander?" With that, Serra found herself returning to her typical demeanor, her laughter fading into silence as she straightened her body a little and tilted her chin up slightly to offer her a little bit more height - she was going to need all the extra height she could get if this Salamander stood up again, as he was just a little bit larger than her.
