Silva almost wished that Claire had been able to find a cigarette. Because if the other wolf had started smoking, that would have been sure to piss her off and put her in the mood to fight. Not that wolves should need to be put in the mood, she could almost hear a few of the others saying.<br/><br/>And she could certainly see the murderous intent in Hekhem's face as he goaded her to attack the wolf they had picked to be her rival. She turned to Claire, a growl coming from low in her throat, she was indeed about to lunge before she thought to check Dax one more time since he was the Alpha and not the jackal.<br/><br/>And it was a good thing she did, as he gave his orders. She relaxed her stance and nodded, "Yes, Alpha." she took a deep breath and gazed over at Claire, her innocent expression turning into a sly grin... she knew she was fast, she knew there was very little chance that the other wolf could outrun her, despite Dax's goading to the contrary. The only thing she needed to decide was how much of a head start she was going to give Claire before she ran her down and began the fight in earnest.<br/><br/>She caught Roaen glancing at her and she forced herself not to look away. She just held her ground for a moment while she waited for Claire to take off running.
