"
I'm hungry! Sniff out some food!" "
Okay, okay. Be quiet." The whelp complied, falling as quiet as a rock - fitting, considering her mineral nature.
Faith sniffed the air, looking for the scent of Beryl's favorite foods, but instead of shaking her head or barking out the direction to foods, she immediately tensed up.
The scent was heavy in the air - lucain. Male lucain. It brought back bad memories, of the laboratory. Painful, painful tests. The cold! She shivered, actually shivered, acutely aware of how frigid her own skin felt. She hated it when that happened, hated it when she remembered. Still, at least she could remember - remember what complete monsters those beasts were - and that was coming from her.
Faith turned her head and growled, doing her best to look terrifying, tensing up to leap. She'd kill that thing! Maybe that would teach those - those - those
monsters what pain was like, since they clearly didn't understand the concept! Just then, Bel's long, muddy-slate-coated, definitely hard tail smacked on the nose, making her yelp and stand her ground instead of rushing forwards. Probably for the best - she wouldn't want to dirty her already-muddy paws any worse.
"
No! We can't hurt our new friend," Bel hissed. She turned to Cole. "
Hi! I'm Bel, and this is Faith. She might seem mean, but she's actually really, really nice! I swear!" Her voice was childish, cute, a stark contrast to the angry growls of her friend and soulbond, and her bright eyes had the sort of glow a happy kid's eyes had, as opposed to the icy glare of Faith. They were complete opposites, but she was the one in control - a fact made obvious only by the way Faith glared instead of attacking.
