Queen Raia heard someone yelling a ways away, but didn't react.  She was more concerned with the coyote facing her down. Then an idea came to her. When her hell hounds acted up, she'd bite them on the ear, and they'd immediately submit to her.  It was a canine thing she guessed. Perhaps if she bit this coyote on the ear, it would think of her as its pack leader.  Of course, it was still rather hungry, but she still wanted it for a pet.  She slowly approached it, waiting for it to try to attack her. When it did, she'd try to pin it down, and bite its ear.
