SNARL[size=24pt] [align=center]
Snarl didn't stop her work to talk, or listen. Carefully slid another branch on the pile, only singed her paws a tad. It was about as therapeutic as she got. Flicked her ear, glanced towards reptile that pranced down towards her, rambling and stuttering up a storm.
"S'a real big fire, yer right. Gonna keep gettin' bigger. Hopefully gonna keep it goin' for a good fuckin' while." Slid in another branch, another. Didn't much matter to her, that she didn't know Feza personally - she'd heard of her, vaguely, and even if she didn't, she smelled of Tanglewood. Knew, vaguely, of her new form, had scented it in relation to Feza. Snarl didn't much care who came to her fires - the turnout was sized well enough for her to be happy with so far, but she'd been to much larger. Enough fire to go around, surely, and if hers got so big as she planned, it'd be right hard to quell it.
Let Aurum speak. He's soft. Worried, as always. Constantly concerned, a mother hen. Caught a dark cross over his eyes, before they glinted back. Doesn't think she can keep her fire. Her first response was mostly joking, but she felt the annoyance flare in her chest at his further prodding. Tilted her voice down, didn't give him the grace of a glance.
"Dunno whose watched your fires, bud. Like I said, m'better than a kid. Dealt with flare-ups. Know what 'm doing. Won't get outta hand less I want it to get outta hand, yeah? Don't take kindly t'people snuffin out my flames." Snarl wasn't quite fixing for a fight yet - She was still entertained enough with her fire. Couple more bottles, couple more hours, and maybe that'd be some fun she'd be up for. Could still have some fun now, though. Turned and reached under a pile of branches, filled her face with a toothy grin.
"Like Feza said," Seemed to find what she was looking for, yanking it out. "'M a fire expert, yeah?" A bottle of beer she'd scrounged from the junkyard. Just cheap stuff - Better than nothing, before she'd learned of the serval's stash. Now, though, it was good for party tricks.
"Know what'm doin." Flashed that toothy grin wider for just a moment, stared at Aurum, flames reflecting off her eyes. Smashed the bottle into the base of the fire, which flared and licked happily at the alcohol. No one was in the burn zone, but it was on their side - Though Snarl didn't move, if anyone was surprised, it may have been too close to comfortably stay in place.
The hyena just grinned, for a minute, let the alcohol burn off, before taking her designated Prodding Stick and gently fishing out the shattered pieces of glass into plain dirt - it hadn't had much time to heat up, but the label was embers enough that she kicked some dirt over it. Went back to her firekeeping without a word.
