Kia was glad she’d stopped when she had. This male seemed intent on fighting, or at least on being angry. He was growling and splaying his paws, etcetera, etcetera. She sighed.

When he demanded to know why she was here, she gave him an obviously fake smile, one that did not reach her eyes.

“I am here because I can be. You wouldn’t happen to have a problem with that, would you, Mr. Growly Face?” Even as she spoke, she looked him over, fully anticipating a fight of some kind. He was bigger than she was, but that meant she was faster. And she was no novice of fighting. Her interest picking up, she waited for his response.
