lupei
What the truth is, I can't say anymore
That shade of green. It taunts him, even as the filly stands there and keeps her mouth shut. “Astri...” He thinks, but it couldn’t possibly be her. A sibling then? One his mother had never mentioned? Impossible. The Chamber mare would never abandon any child of hers, and this particular foal has most certainly been abandoned. The silence between them deepens and Lupei finds himself one second away from bounding forward to press her into the earth and demand where she came from, but the girl is quicker to respond (rather, her body is) and she buckles before shifting.
His eyes widen. Another shifter, and wolf at that. Her snaps and taunting cause the brute to raise his head, jaw snapping open to let a single snarl rip through him. Whereas the horse had been timid, the wolf is unafraid. Lupei paces, tail sweeping upwards to curl over his backside in a display of dominance. She may be shifter, but from the looks of her transformation she hadn’t quite gotten the routine down. He eyes her, ears flat and gums bared, daring her to challenge - but he won’t give her that opportunity.
He lunges, letting loose another cry before bearing down on her, teeth gnashing together to try and grab her scruff and force her to the ground in submission. She’s no match for his size, but he’s not trying to kill her - only teach her a lesson. “Give in!” He snarls, the words coming out in mangled mess, “Give in or I’ll do much worse than this.” He offers. He didn’t want to maim her, certainly didn’t want to kill her, wolf-shifters weren’t common around here, but he’d be damned if he was going to let some pumped-up little mare threaten him.
Green coat or no.
