[glow=#000,1,400]MY MAMA SAID THAT I'M NOT LIVING RIGHT. YOU RAISED A LION, MAMA, I AIN'T LYING, MAMA — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]
If Wormwood had looked between Mayari and Vathmos just a bit too fast, he probably would've thought that the two females were the exact same species. After all, they were both canines of a sort, and they had very similar colors, although Mayari seemed to have more of a splotchy nature to her pelt, one that caught his eye and made him examine the patterns a bit closer. He had been out for a walk to exercise his injured legs when Vathmos's scent had caught his attention, only to eventually mix in with a more unfamiliar scent as he got closer. He had immediately tensed somewhat, worried that Vathmos had either been taken by some unfamiliar rogue, or had been killed by one, but soon enough he came upon the pair, and he relaxed somewhat. Not entirely, however, because he could hear the slight aggression in Vathmos's voice as she addressed the new soul in Tanglewood's territory, and he frowned slightly, worried he would have to soon break up another fight. He could somewhat understand Vathmos's anger, especially given her tendency to want any and all food exclusively to herself, but he still felt the need to step in.
Stepping in beside Vathmos, he gently bumped his head against her shoulder in a friendly greeting before saying firmly, his tail flicking from side to side as his gaze flitted over Mayari's form, [glow=#165042,1,400]"While what Vathmos here says is technically true, I don't agree with how harsh she has gone about things.... insteaaad, here, I'll ask some questions. You're evidently new around here, so you should know that you're on Tanglewood land, probably eating a gator caught on our territory too. Cause of that, I'm wondering what your name is, and whether or not you're here to join? If not, we might have to take some issue with you trespassing on our land and stealing potential food."[/glow] Truth be told, Worm had never eaten a gator before and didn't really have any intention of ever doing so, but he wasn't particularly interested in letting Mayari off scottfree if she was trespassing for no reason, especially with how unhappy and threatened Vathmos seemed to feel by her presence. He would be the first to admired that Vathmos could make some unfair assumptions based on species – such as those she had made of him – but he wasn't about to completely write off her opinion as nonsense. She was intelligent, and he very much knew it. He could only help that this newcomer was intelligent as well.
