Your sister trilled a sound to make children cry, demanding the interloper be removed or killed.
You put a halt to that with a cold calculating bark, your sister automatically bowing to your judgment. First you would observe the Nubby One, and decide if it was either a threat to kill, a nuisance to scare away, or merely something to ignore.
But first you would have to find it.
Scenting the air once more, you locked your mind onto it's scent. Somehow the mixed smell of irritation/wrong/confusion/arrogance was almost easy to pick out from the random smells of your territory.
A grumbled call to follow dripped from your jaws, causing your sister to shiver her purple scales in confirmation. Then you were off, following the scent with a measured stalking gate that made little to no sound.
The scent itself was strong and barley faded giving a clear path to follow, only made even clearer as you stumbled on the Nubby ones trail. A path of tracks that was almost confused, sometimes making barely a mark closer to that of your sister when she planned an ambush than what you'd expect of the nubby one.
Other times, it was stomped with an aggressive feel as it pushed deeper into your territory. Breaking smaller trees and mushing the ground with intense sense arrogance like nothing would dare to follow it, and anything that did would die.
Nubby one clearly did not have a good sense of self preservation.
Something Morada Agreed with based upon her confused chirp, as she stared at the trail of matted grass and broken trees, a faint scent of blood clinging to some of the broken trees. The Scent of the Nubby Ones blood, cloyingly unnaturally sweet, killing any hunger the run here might have gathered.
You could feel how off this was, the Nubby One simply wasn't something that should hold this kind of arrogance. It pulsed under you scales, your blood thrumming with the notion that Creature of Nubby Ones kind should be shy? Yes that was right shy unless they had a herd, or were substantially bigger than their target.
Your shivered as a sense of wrongness, jumped through your internals like the sky fluff static, a subconscious growl of irritation leaking from between your teeth.
But you forced it down and followed trail further, until you found your target in a small area where the grass was slightly less tall. It was also noticeably close to the small grotto you had made your nest.
Nubby Ones scales had dulled from bright to muted orange, the brown markings even more subdued. But their was something odd with the Nubby one, it's scent switching constantly from confused to enraged as it charged a large tree.
The tree showing some minor damage from the nubby ones stubbornness, but mostly just covered in the blood that was leaking from Nubby ones head crest, it nubs having not changed at all other than growing to match it's size.
Not that it was anything substantial, still smaller than you by at least a foot yet bigger than your sister.
However none of that mattered, your eyes narrowing from within the tall grass you were crouching behind Only your decision.
A decision you had already made.
