Avoiding the Thought

"Show yourself, lupa!"
Even after hearing the stranger's approach, Cass stiffened and jumped about a foot straight into the air in fear. In the same motion she turned, teeth bared at this unknown wolf, and inhaled deeply. At first sight the wolf looked to be female, with feminine stature and bright green eyes, but her nose recognized a scent that was distinctly male. His coat was around the same color as her own though much more unkempt, and riddled with scars. Her expression turned fleetingly curious as she wondered where he had gotten so many.
But her teeth remained bared as her thick fur bristled. Though she lowered her already tiny body closer to the ground, partially to protect the tender flesh of her throat, but also partially to let this newcomer know that she wasn't intending to try and dominate him. A ridiculous notion it would be, because even with his lithe physique he was obviously larger and stronger than herself. The battle scars gave away a lot too.
Trying to sound as brave as possible, she cleared her throat and spoke in what started out as a growl. "All right then, do you see me?" It was difficult for her to keep the menacing tone in her voice, and it seemed to revert back to is usual wispy, quiet tone unintentionally. "Am I on your lands, sir? I was under the impression this lovely forest was unclaimed." She said everything with a saccharine tone that betrayed a tiny drop of sarcasm, but amicable none the less.
The fem's body language returned to normal. She laid down her hackles and sat on the ground, though making sure to take a few long steps back from this pale stranger first. She then looked quizzically at him, brown eyes wide as she surveyed his form and tried to decipher his motives.
