As Liam moved closer, that strange smell she had first noticed became stronger. She felt like she should know the scent, but it was getting all mixed up with the other smells of paint and people and outside smells. Not to mention Onyx's over powering one. That boy could hide a stinky dumpster or so Amber was convinced. She would dwell on it later. Right now, the red head had far bigger problems. Namely that look in Onyx's eye that said he had finally found a fight and was gonna take advantage of it.<br/><br/>"Onyx! I was coming. Sheesh. I just got sidetracked is all." She moved over and grabbed Liam's arm to tug him closer while silently sending the older pure bred a message that he was under her protection. "I found an amazing artist!" She turned a beaming smile on Liam, the strange scent stronger now that she was right by him, but she still couldn't place it. His other scents were too strong and too appealing to her to worry about that strange one for long. "I was hoping to talk him into painting a few things for me. To liven up my room." The excuse was made on the fly but she hoped it was one that worked and that the one she basically just tossed under the bus wouldn't mind too much.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Onyx finally found Amber and low and behold. What else did he happen to find but a lower half breed bitten oggling her. What nerve the bitten had! She might have been his next Alpha and here he was making faces at her. Rather that was the actual case or not didn't matter. He was going to punch the little punk ass in the face.<br/><br/>Then Amber went and touched him. TOUCHED HIM! Onyx felt the muscles in his face twitch and his hands jerked. The very fact that she would touch him knowing what he was galled the pure bred. Moving over he yanked Amber towards him and started to drag her away. As much as he wanted a fight, he knew better. But maybe this would get that punk kid to make the first move. He could pull of self defense. Easy. "Yeah yeah. He ain't comin' near you anymore. We got ta get going." He tossed a glare at Liam, still daring the other as Amber dragged her feet and grumbled under her breath about what a jerk he was being.<br/><br/>"He isn't right."
