[font=trebuchet ms]Why had she killed it? That was a valid question- Quince had offered a justification, but Straw hadn't been sure how to interpret it. "Said, quote, 'it needed to be taught a lesson,'" she answered, with a shrug. "Dunno what that means." Maybe it had attacked her first, maybe it was intruding on her territory, maybe it was going after another friend of hers. It was probably a good reason, she just didn't know what.
When Killua mentioned a pack of canines, though, Straw tensed up. They might just be messengers, but typically messengers from other clans came by themselves. If there were multiple dogs, they might be in for a particularly bloody brawl. Would she be willing to fight to the death for the other three? She certainly hoped so, but there was no way to know the extent of her bravery until it was tested.
Lifting her head, she inhaled softly through her nose. That didn't smell like any of the other clans she knew of. Rogues, then, or possibly a group of loners. Still, she had to be ready. Following Killua along the border, Straw maintained her gaze on the outskirts beyond their territory.
