HFrozen as still as a statue, the monster waited for his prey to draw near. Friend or foe? Only a conversation would tell. Surely if it was someone there to kill him, they’d give him the courtesy of one final conversation, right? But when a soft feminine voice filled his audits, a devilish smile crept upon his lips. He stayed where he was, not minding her presence as she trotted in front of him. His crimsons glanced up, giving the facade that he was unimpressed by her boldly walking in front of him. "That's quite impressive hearing you have there." her gentle voice mentioned, and that caused his shoulders to roll in a shrug as he continued to devour the fish between his large front paws.

"You wouldn't kill an innocent, pretty young woman like myself would you?" Catching a glimpse of her own devilish grin, a chuckle left his lips. It was deep, sounding more like a growl than a laugh. “Bold, aren’t ya?” he shook his cranium before standing up, towering over her. “I’ve killed many, for far less.” he leaned in closer to her as he said this, before puling back, sitting back on his haunches. “But, you could be a fun little puppet. Enlighten me, what’s your name?”

"The names Alesana. Who might you be?" Phobus gave her a sly grin, drinking in the sound of her. “Alesana..” he tested, enjoying the sound of it. “Little dove, beautiful name.” he mentioned casually. Her question caused him to think for a moment. Would he lie and not say who he was? How did he know she wasn’t from some pack that hated his guts? His head was wanted by many still.

“The names Phobus.” he shrugged. “Where are you from, dove? Perhaps one of the packs? Fairly certain I can smell that.” he muttered, his crimson gaze not leaving hers. He wasn’t going to back down from a challenge like her, and her clearly flirty behavious was giving him a rush of excitement he hadn’t felt in a while. Not nearly as much as Wisteria had given him.. He truly did wonder what his family was up too nowadays.

“What’re you doing all the way out here? Especially at dawn? Not safe for a pretty girl like yourself to be wandering alone. Never know what hides in the shadows.” He murmured softly as he leaned in again, his breath brushing against her ear as he moved past her, standing in front of the creek. “Never know what.. Monsters lurk here.”
