Her head turned to study the female as she had not done so before. The first thing she noticed was the beautiful blonde hair. While it was a nice shade, Keira didn't feel jealous of it, she knew that her hair was just as beautiful and it was fluffy. Shifting slightly against the fence to get more comfortable, she continued to wait.<br/><br/>It was then that Gem had spoken once in a closer range. But.. everything that was said was just the same speech she had been fed before. Alpha this. Alpha that.  While Keira knew the power alpha's held, she knew when an alpha's ego was all that seemed to matter. It didn't matter to her. The warning, as it stood, meant nothing to her. It was inevitable to not cross the path of the alpha... or Striker. 'Odd name.'<br/><br/>"Thanks, I guess. I appreciate the concern about my safety?" Safety... Keira didn't care for such luxuries as being safe and unharmed. In all honesty, if she was to get in a fight - Keira wouldn't want to be saved. Especially not by another female. If she was going to lose, she was going to lose with dignity. That being said, she didn't want to hear Gem's sad life story about how she couldn't go against her alpha.<br/><br/>"I won't make any promises. I haven't met him. I'm sure it won't go well when we meet. But... I don't think it is your place to butt in if I do so happen to meet him. I would enjoy having some respect, maybe Striker as well, so I can dish it out myself."  Nodding at her own words, she would glance back to the boy who was now getting out of the pool. Keira had hoped Gem didn't take her words to harsh; she just didn't like people doing certain things... and getting in her way.
