I don't like messes. Especially not when they wander into my backyard. This is the way I'd prefer to clean it up.

[She makes it sound very reasonable. Rational. Sort of tip toeing around the fact she doesn't want to kill him. Barnes would probably laugh at her, playing tough. Around the fact she might have sympathy for the kid because she knows more about where he's at than she lets one.]

[ His head whips up, and his single eye narrows. It's some sort of werewolf pissing contest, isn't it? Get him to join some pack that he never asked to be a part of, but now a part of him yearns for without being able to pinpoint the feeling. How big could her territory be? He could find his way out of it while still keeping his distance from that asshole's. ]

Just.. point me in the right direction and I'll leave. You won't see me again.

You're in that much of a hurry to leave?

[Her demeanor is steady. There's no aggression in it. But there is a sternness.]

If you're determined to go, I can have someone give you a ride. I don't think it's the best call, though. You're new. if it's not me, it'll be another pack.

If not them, hunters.

I never asked for any of this! I just want to stay out of it.

[ The anger flares and he stands, that single eye flashing amber for just a moment. His hands are balled into fists at his sides as he tries to reign in the anger. It's harder just after he turns back and he shakes his head almost violently to rid himself of the feeling.

The mention of hunters definitely gets his attention, though. She makes it seem like they're not just ordinary game hunters- there's a gravity to her words. ]

What are hunters going to do?

Not many of us ask for this, kid. I know I didn't. We have to figure how we'll deal with it anyway.

[She's still calm. And she's in no hurry to move or force him to.]

Around here, the hunters and me have an understanding. They don't touch wolves who haven't hurt people, and they give me the chance to police my own first.

If you decide to go somewhere else, I can't say what they'll do.
