It wasn't clear if Eda was going to argue the point more, because there was a much closer growl. She ducked around the corner of the house, peering around cautiously.

Not longer after, a huge creature reaches the edge of the tree line and pauses, sniffing the ground for tracks. It gives Manji a glance and another snarl, but that's not who it's after... yet. It raises its head and looks directly towards where Eda is hiding, no longer looking around the corner.

It narrows its eyes and crouches slightly like it's about to pounce.
