<div style="text-align: justify;">Marissa couldn’t know that she was learning faster than it was to be expected. For her, that whole universe was new, and she was acting completely out of instinct and the hints she got from Nanook. Once they returned to their human selves, she would probably want to use her rational part to ask questions. For now, though, she was very content to follow her wild impulses - and the leads she got from paying attention to Nanook's acts.<br/><br/>As it was her first change into her new form, Marissa had yet to think at all. She might come to her own conclusions in the future about those people, but for now, her wild side had taken over completely and it had its own ideas about those people - namely, that they were nothing but prey.<br/><br/>For now, though, she had simply killed the second human due to her wild side feeling he deserved to be killed. She enjoyed the thrill of the kill and the taste of blood, but in truth, she wasn’t really hungry for the flesh. <br/><br/>She had been nuzzling the human to make sure he was dead when Nanook approached her. Moving her maw a little, Marissa allowed him to lick the blood off of her fur and nuzzled Nanook’s neck before he had the chance to wander off. <br/><br/>Once he ran off, Marissa followed Nanook with her gaze, but didn’t run after him right away. Only once she had checked the human again to make sure it was dead did she move, this time following Nanook’s scent, and not the human’s.<br/><br/>Stopping not far from him, Marissa simply waited, patiently, for Nanook to finish with his kill, so he could decide where they would go next. He was, after all, the leader of their small pack. And, maybe, in the future, even more than just a pack mate. But of course, that was all for the future. For now, she simply sat on her hind legs and waited for him.</div>
