It was difficult to overcome the natural need to function on instincts without regard to any sense of human social norms. Especially with the short amount of time it had been when she had been trapped within her feral mind. Lying there still trapped underneath the coarse fishermen net, outlined with sharp hooks at each knot, it was easy for her to act as any trapped wild animal would do. Being stuck in a vulnerable position meant that survival would be slim. A part of her knew that with Tobias around her chances of staying alive would improve. Even though Tetradore helped them out once it was all done for his benefit too, and without his assistance at this point, doubt that he was sincere with inviting her to his pack was becoming doubtful. Perhaps Nadya was correct in that Tetradore was only inviting her out of kindness lacking authenticity. However, in the case of the violet-eyed woman that had growled and clamped her muzzle shut- there was zero trust at that point. Lowered snarls rumbled at the back of her throat as her black lips pulled back, and as soon as Regan's grip loosened, Raven's jaws snapped as her head thrashed about. If she had not been caught in this trap, and if she was not coming back from the cusp of her feral mind, she might have been a bit more cordial. As the speed of the woman's hands continued to travel over her form she laid back down, her form not as tense as before, as eyes watched the familiar golden and spotted form of Tobias circling around them. His presence a most calming thing, her eyes settled on his own, as she allowed Regan to continue her work.

After giving the tigeress the fish she headed for Tobias side. It was his constant presence that warped her mind into believing that being around the spotted cat meant she would safe and unharmed. It had taken months, but they had managed to learn how to trust one another. They hunted side by side together, looked out for one another when their lives were threatened by various Dark Hunters, and the constant small innocent touches they had done to one another, both in their fur and flesh, helped pave the way for both feline and lupine to be comfortable and feel safe around one another. Sitting there quietly as her wounds began to heal slowly she felt his form press and encircle her, his scent a comforting fragrance as his harsh tongue began to clean up her matted bloodied fur. Like before by the river in the woods the boy was using all he knew about first aide, and although it was exactly the right thing to do, for her it was a meaningful gesture. From what she understood this particular action was only done when the feline had a special bond with another. One ear was pointed in his direction as he began to purr while the other ear was pointed towards Regan and Tetradore. Embarrassed by Tobi's affection she gently nipped the side of his neck, not wanting this PDA to continue, all for the fact that it wasn't such a modest thing to be done in public. Providing Regan shadows to cover her scarred form, her banned swayed side to side slowly when her violet eyes rested on her- pleased to know her kindness was being recognized.

As Tetradore replaced his furry feline form for his more masculine frame she simply looked the other way, giving Tobi a scowl as he gave her a ridiculous command, shaking her head with disapproval. That he honestly thought he could keep her inside was a laughing matter. She was used to being caged up all her life and she was hardly going to allow him to do the same thing to her. Whether he truly believed this would keep her from being harmed, or he simply just didn't want her to have the freedom to roam, it simply did not matter. Just because she carried his mark on the side of her neck didn't mean she would obey him all the time. She was a creature with her own mind and she was quite capable of making decisions- be they good or bad. While Tobias left his side to simply shed his fur and hold off the exit behind Regan the wolf's attention would simply shift away from the trio. Instead her complete attention was focused on the other end of the dock. Without even thinking that familiar sound of bones shifting could be heard as the lupine simply turned to her larger form. Blue-grey eyes narrowed as she simply watched the shadows, looking for any sort of movement that the fishermen had come back, quite pleased with her new height making this task much easier. Though her skull would tilt to the side as she watched the long-haired woman stroke Tetradore's throat indicating a sign that she was unable to speak. Slowly she moved towards the woman, sitting at her side not bothered at all that her leg would brush up against the violet-eyed woman's side. Lowering her head so that her eyes could be on her level, her scarred face barely a few inches from her own, as that gentle voice trickled into Regan's mind.

"You know...I could talk for you. If you have something to say just say it and I will tell them. I'm not in there pack, but I trust them."

This truly wasn't the place nor time to simply explain her connection to the male felines or why she would even bother to trust them, even if she had little threads of trust for the green-eyed panther. Her massive head would lift and turn around to eye the lanky dark-haired boy that began to mutter 'Westside' over and over again. Her tail would easily swing and gently bat at his side in a friendly gesture. Her own polite and easy going voice gently slipping into his head.

"Tobi...she is a mute...which means she cannot talk...please be nice...and do not talk about my scars."

Still sitting down on her haunches her head would return to its proper position as she simply stared down at the were-panther. Her tail gently lying on the ground as it curled around Regan. Grey-trimmed ears would fold back against her skull, a subtle sign of being submissive, as she tried to slip her voice in his mind...a delicate thing to do to one in such a higher position.

"Tetradore...if she lets me...I can tell you what she says."
