Kathrienna drummed her manicured nails on the table, watching Render as he helped himself to her liquor as suggested. The peace was fragile at the best of times, and they weren't remotely on friendly terms, but she'd always at least hoped there was some measure of respect to be had. And now there was a rogue vampire killing wolves. Her nails bit down, scoring and cutting into the wood in her own show of strength even as the wolf towered over her, taller than her by several impossible inches. She was tall for a woman, but even so he loomed over her. She wasn't impressed, though her eyes were drawn to that large mouth of his. "Of course they do. Vengeance is an act even vampires are guilty of committing." She sighed.<br/><br/>This war of differences and hatred between their races was trying. "It sounds like we have a rogue vampire. My coven wouldn't dare commit such a crime, and if it is one of them, regardless of who it is, they will be dealt with." But who was it? Who had done a thing to break their peace? Her eyes flared crimson then, her jaw clenching at Render's lewd insult. "I'm not some eager whore, Render, and I'm not going to spread my legs for you." She stood up, nose to nose with the sitting wolf. "I don't think you could handle it, anyway." Cheeky. She pushed her long hair over her shoulder and glared at him. "Besides, the pack wouldn't settle for a casual fuck, and I'm not serving my neck up to you even for this insult to your pack."<br/><br/>Coming around, she brushed by Jordahn, who wisely kept his mouth shut. Kathrienna was in an increasingly bad mood and wasn't going to stand for any lip from any of them. "As long as diplomacy stands, my coven and I will work with you and yours to find the rogue. I have no tolerance for misfits." As long as the Ancients slumbered, she could hope to maintain some sort of peace here. She just hoped they wouldn't wake anytime soon, as even her sire saw the wolves as lesser creatures. Meant to be enslaved and chained, fed upon like blood bags. She knelt, her back to Render, and unlocked the cabinet to grab her own bottle of wine. Her senses remained on high alert, and Jordahn moved a little closer in a show to protect his sire if Render chose to attack.<br/><br/>It would be a close match, and in truth Kathrienna wasn't sure she could win against the alpha, but she would take several chunks out of him before the end. "Those that break my laws are met with swift justice, and I will give the vampire to your pack to do with as they see fit for retribution. I'm not going to handle this like some fair justice system." Even if...She let out a breath and took a swig out of the bottle. She could only hope Jordahn wouldn't be stupid enough to break her law. "But I don't want to see any further casualties, either. I'm not going to let war break out in this city over this."
