Nodding her head, Shasta just stayed silent for a moment. "Well then hello Onatah, and thank you." She dipped her head to clean her chest, it was sticking out a bit and there was numerous bits of debris from her struggle with clingy foliae.

A wolf, or what was left of one, Rammah thought to herself. Had the humans done this to her or had she been created using organic and non-organic parts? She didn't know anymore. The humans had taken so much for themselves and left little for the rest. A deep growl bubbled up from her throat, but at no one in particular and paced forward a bit. The state of everything was their fault and she was stuck here to clean up the mess. She was sour about all of it and didn't care who knew it.

Onatah looked at the living metal wolf with curiosity, "sorry if this is a rude question, but how did you come to be? you know, half wolf and half..." she said, trailing off at the end. she diddent know why, but she couldent bring herself to say the last word, or maybe she just diddent know what it was.

Malia raised an eyebrow at the wolves. Well, the two wolves and half wolf thing.
She swung down from her perch. "Yes, do tell how you came to be. It would quench the thirst for knowledge. At least, for a while." Malia trilled mockingly. She breathed a laugh, her eyes narrowed in question.
Her ears twitched beneath the cover of her hair, and she had to fight against the natural sway of her tail under her dress. Malia, despite the innocent appearance, was as deadly as those man eating plants that people had once kept in their houses. What had they been called? Oh, yes. Venus flytraps.
With a smirk, she stepped forward, crossing her arms. Her body language emitted a feeling of confidence, and her face reflected it without a single doubt.

"Well, I..." Shasta silenced, backed up a single step in surprise, and gave a reproachful, annoyed glare to the interruption. Her red irises narrowed and she didn't stop them from dialating. The ruby-colored parts seemed to look like something inside of her was focusing harder, and that was true. Whenever Shasta hunted, for instance, she'd lock onto her prey. Her pupils would focus like a machine's aiming system to give her accuracy, and it would also allow her to run at her break-neck speed without needing to worry about running into things. Now, though, this was just the first sign of annoyance, seeing as she'd just been interrupted by a cocky girl.
Straightening her posture first, and stepping more than one step foreward, she let her tail wave about before continuing. "It was simply a human scientist." There was no want for her to tell anything more, now that this random creature had appeared. That, unfortunately, was obviously apparent.
Luna sipped and washed in a stream, taking in a brilliant ruby bird with golden eyes. It's wings and tail were lined and speckled like that of a swallowtail butterfly.

Malia glared right back at the halfling. "Don't look at me like that. I'm not the one who screwed up your DNA." the fox girl defended, knowing her ears would have flicked back if they had been showing. She took a step forward, challenging the robo-wolf.
"I'm not afraid of you. I've been tracking you for days, and so far, all you've done is hunt. Not very impressive for someone who's geneticly enhanced." sneered Malia, strain showing in her pale face as her tail begged to flick back and forth.

"Go back to the hole you dug yourself out of, little thief," Snarled Rammah, looking over at Malia from where she stood between Onatah and Shasta. Rammah had had a nasty run in with a kitsu before and this girl looked every bit as capable of treachery as any of the others. The aging she-wolf pinned her ears and bared her teeth in a warning snarl. "Whatever it is you want from the lass, you'll have to go through me to get it," Was she going senile? She hardly knew the creature she was protecting and she had just offered to aid her against the fox that stood before them.
"Hurry and scamper back to your hole, little fox..." Huffed Rammah. The look on her lupine face was now one of tired disgust. Today couldn't get any worse.

Malia was about to retort when she realized something. "My my. Aren't you observant." she said to the older wolf. She shook her hair, uncovering her ears and she felt her tail pop out of a slight rip in her dress.
"Look, I don't want anything. She intrigued me when I noticed I wasn't hunting a wolf, but a robot thing. So, naturally, I decided to follow her. To see if there were... more of her." the halfling explained, her dark hair form a curtain over her left eye.

Shasta bared her teeth and took more than a step foreward, letting her ivory teeth glint. "Would you like to feel what all my other prey felt? The high-powered jaws of a genetically enhanced wolfess, closing on your windpipe?" She went to say more, but looked a bit more than surprised at the other she-wolf's defense over her. When the halfling fox's tail flickered out, all Shasta could do was break into laughter.
"Look who else has a bit of awry DNA. At least my little defects help me, instead of just making me look like a freak of nature." She was tired of all the glimpses and whispers her body got from other creatures, and now one that wasn't normal either was taking a stab at her. She'd have none of this.

Onatah gritted her teeth. she couldent stand back and watch as the other two wolves bagged on the kitsune girl....thief, freak, defects...the words they tossed around spun in her mind and started going back to her own childhood. pack members constantly ganging up on her, humans watching in awe as she walked around, kids laughing and throwing sticks and rocks at the oddity...she couldent just sit back and watch as her memories unfurled once again, in the form of a fox
"Stop it." her voice boomed in a menacing tone, something you wouldent expect from her. her eyes turned fierce and intense as she glared at the other two wolves, the fiercest of all beasts would turn tail and run at the sight. she looked at the two wolves with anger, "how could you do that? he girl has yet to do anything, but you treat her as if she's murdered somebody" she said. she looked at the robotic wolf dead in the eyes, "especially you. you and i know what its like to be different. a wise man once said to do unto others what you would like them to do unto you. you do not want to be tormented for your difference yet you mock her for hers. you are no better than the rest" she told her. she snapped her head around to the older wolfess and growled. "and you, dont be so quick to judge. just because you've had a bad experience with a fox doesnt mean all of them are bad. think before jumping to conclusions" she hissed.

Looking at Onatah, teh reddish female smiled politely, and without sarcasm. "I apologize." Her tail shwished sideways. "Though, I have an urge to point out the fact that this child jumped down from a tree, claiming to be stalking me, speaking with such confidence you'd think she thought she was the alpha. She called me a freak, and I'm merely pointing out that she is no different. I, personally, think my defects, which this stranger was all to eager to point out, are worse than any of yours. You said that of all of us, you and I should understand this situation the most. You're wrong. You can help the earth, but some half-mecha creature can't. If I ever start to malfunction, how do you think that'll effect the enviornment? Oil in the grass? Thats much harder to bear than the ability of sprouting Goddamn daisies where ever you walk."
Red eyes glared angrily, she hadn't been being outright cruel, but merely showing the fox that they were both unusual.

"I never said I was any better than you are. In fact, I don't think I insulted you at all. I called you 'geneticly enhanced' and 'intriguing'. I don't recall ever saying you were a freak." Malia retorted, crossing her arms at the robo-wolf. "And I wouldn't call myself enhanced if I take after my mother."
Malia avoided eye contact with the wolf who had defended her. She didn't want any connection to anyone, really, for fear she would suffer the pain of loss again.

" 'I'm not the one that screwed with your DNA'" Shasta quoted, raising her eyebrows at the fox-girl. "Thats not calling me a freak? In what way is that polite? Are you so eager to make enemies that you spout rudeness upon first meetings?" She was bored of this conversation, and was just interested in why she had been clear on the insult, but pretended it wasn't one.

"No, it isn't calling you a freak at all. I'm calling the person who would screw with someone's DNA a freak. You should really look deeper before jumping to conclusions." Malia responded, crossing her arms and shifting her weight to one hip.
"You don't seem like one make friends at first sight, therefore you can't judge me. I've never harmed you in any way, shape, or form. You have no reason to be angry at me." the kitsune hissed, ears flicked back and her tail swishing impatiently from side to side.

Not the least bit soothed, she just glared. "Jumping? You're the one who hopped down into our faces and our conversation, and the one that's been stalking me these past few days. I was also in a perfectly fine mood, if you had been listening. 'I've never harmed you in any way, shape, or form.'" She quoted again, "You had no reason to be following me."
The purple-eyed wolfess was the size of a normal one now, and she ran through the forests to the edge of a dead, small town. It's little buildings were horribly battered and a few had fallen down, into ruin.
