Tar seems to look faintly amused, before mention of Korats pulls her muzzle into a fierce grimace. "N'krats! Hrshn fragd thk pff psh d'lyr..." She trails off into a string of gutteral, rather spiteful-sounding words, in her own native tongue. Suddenly snapping her long jaws shut, her eyes widen and she hunkers to the ground, blending in nicely. "Geddown," she mutters to Tiesha, orbs locked on the Minmons.

The mother pauses for a moment, before settling her huge form into a sitting position, resting a tail blade of over 25 ft. on the ground 'lightly'. The femme cub makes a snort-hush noise, drawing back as well into a sitting position. As the older sibling, she recalls her mother letting her play with her food, and she recognizes that it's her brother's turn. The male, however, tilts his massive head to regard the shouting wolf. Almost like an eager grin, his lips pull back tightly and his claws grip the earth firmly. As though in response to the angry words, he inhales deeply and lets out a shout, the noise shaking the trees and ground before his jaws shut audibly and he sniffs at SF. He's young, but not careless, and he draws back when he realizes, though the creature may be poisonous, such a small dose wouldn't harm him overmuch.

The Jine cringes as she involuntarily jumps a few feet at the deafening noise. Sinking back to the earth, she mutters tersely, "Frante. Fooddun talk back. Chtp'n mayee yull live." Watching TFD move as well, she groans. "Dun move. Dun talk. J'shtp." Dyone'd idiots. If they drag me into this, I'll have their hides before the cub does. From Terole indeed. None of them have any Lavanian sense. Her thoughts are spurred by a sensible bit of fear for her own life, and as the cub reacts to the Aya's movement, she freezes.

The young male snorts heavily, peering at TFD in her turn. Leaning down again, he sniffs her fur, large eyes glinting with what could possibly be intelligence. His sister rumbles, shifting her weight pointedly, and the cub draws back. The siblings lock eyes for a moment, before the male growls and returns his attention back to the two small animals before him. Wrinkling his muzzle, he tosses a glance to his mother, who shrugs in her way, before blinking and nudging TFD as gently as possible.

The wolfish Lavanian mutters something else. "S'try-yin-da move y'. Sissa's claim-med-dya." She pauses. "S'a toy. Er fud." A cold smile on the Jine's part reflects a strange light in her eyes. "Y' buth lnch i'ya dun move. N' i'ya do move, y'ded." She raises her muzzle to peer up at the male cub, which is still only a few meters from her, unfortunately. Turning to Tiesha, she gestures slightly towards the forest. "Back a'ay slowl'. N'sudden muvmen. Hide." Resettling her gaze on the two appetizers in question, she sighs. "Y'two. Y'ded met i'ya dun do som'thn. Think fsst."

The cub ignores the Jine's quiet tone, trying clumsily to remove TFD from his path without harming the tan creature. His sister looks on with approval, purring throatily.
