It was a disease, he was sure, predators so seemingly afflicted with some sort of desire to bare their teeth at him as if they considered the flesh of his hide a perfectly edible contemplation, one violet eye lifting upward in disdain at the dog-creature as it displayed those fangs once more, its form holding some rigid display of veiled aggression. There was a part of the man, small and concealed though it was that responded to just that aggression within the dog, that distinctly equine part shifting with some sense of apprehension at the mere scent of the creature. Instinct, after all, is a difficult thing to overrule and yet Frost had spent a veritable lifetime attempting to do just that, forcing down those prey like reflexes that refused to allow him to be anything other than wary despite the look of utter disinterest he afforded the girl. After all- there were precious few near so talented as the stallion in guarding whatever true emotion existed beneath the icy pallor of his expressionless façade. Her biting words afforded little more than a shrug of sorts, the man entirely inclined to let the dog bark at him all she wanted, the stallion hardly of the belief she was foolish enough to try and assault him despite her words. For all the foolishness of dogs they rarely lacked self-preservation.

Her comment in regards to her species however seemed to prompt more of a reaction from the man all the same, his own head tilted slightly at her impassioned assurance she was no dog and what's more, that she was surely above them. Hmm, at least the girl had a little spirit, far more then could be said for Alexis- the broken little vixen hardly worth his efforts and yet truly the girl had almost become something useful- almost. This one, in the least, showed far more promise in that department. His thoughts remaining his own for the moment as she mentioned his liking to be called a goat, the mans lip quirking ever so slightly to the side in some vague taint of amusment before a soft snort found its way into the cool of the night air, arms folding across his chest with a callous ease.

"Dogs do mans bidding but they are rewarded with food, shelter, warmth- what does a coyote do if not scavenge the scraps the dogs leave behind, hmmm? Interesting viewpoint though. As for my being a goat I have been called far worse."

Another hint of amusement seems to linger upon the man's features, Frost shifting now to crouch suddenly before the dog, one hand lifting to rest fingers briefly beneath her chin, tilting the coyotes head ever so slightly if only to view the girl better. Such an unattractive animal and yet, he supposed, it held its uses all the same. The growl within her throat was hardly missed, nor that lift of her heckles as her head flung back as if struck, each muscle tensing to brace herself as she leaned away from him in some mixture of anger and wariness. Like a wild colt. The girl almost feral in some fashion, his own violet gaze narrowing slightly as the creature seemed to consider lunging towards him once more, his own affinity existing just below the surface, ready to lash out towards her should she become entirely too assured of herself- his mind so curiously picking apart at her own just so in this moment. Hmm. How very curious her mind was. Those words she offered entirely true. She never had shifted to her human state, indeed this....pack...family....whatever it was, the images far to fleeting for his own mind to tell- seemed to live in this feral state near constantly. What a perfect waste of a pack. What a perfect fool of an Alpha to allow them to exist as animals.

"Well you are an interesting little thing aren't you? Your Alpha would hold the power to force your shift, why didn't he? Seems a waste of opposable thumbs to let you linger as a coyote your entire existence. Ah, ah now- no biting, you will regret it if you do I assure you."

Those cold, easy words are uttered in that same emotionless tone as always, the stallion moving to lean back ever so slightly now, eyeing the girl before him once more with an entirely new sense of intrigue.

"Tell me, who is your Alpha now?"
