Mitternacht opened one eye slowly at the sound of shuffling on the forest floor, twitching her tail slightly in agitation of being woken up.
She snapped awake at the sight of the stray male trying to sneak away from the river; no doubt after spotting that this territory was claimed and wanting to flee without any confrontation.
She stood slowly, remaining perched on her rock as she stared down the new P'an lun before her; her tail slowly swaying around her. A very faint scent of blood reached her nose, muddled with other scents so as to be very slight to her sensitive nose which wrinkled up at detection of it.
"Who are you and why are you in my territory..." She spoke with a slight disdain, as if his intrusion was a major chore.
