Derrick grinned when Izzy assured him that he was not intruding, and he would have thanked her, but she seemed confused when he spoke of parts of the woods being claimed. Strange. He shrugged his shoulders, looking around. "I dunno. I was just wondering if this was you...'territory' or 'turf' or whatever." He knew he wasn't talking to another wolf, but, as a wolf himself, it was sometimes a little difficult for him to express things out of wolfish terms. "You know, I didn't know if this was like your, ah, kind of exclusive along place or whatever where no one should intrude." He flashed a fainter grin as he tried to get his point across. However, as he did so, a part of him was growing a little bored. He wanted something to happen. Anything a little exciting would do. He could finish her run with her, get taken back to her house, have a random tree climbing contest. You know, whatever.

When Desmond shouted at her again, Lisette suddenly found herself a little defensive despite her tears. She stiffened, giving him more of a glower than a glare. "Well, it wasn't like I knew I was a wolf at the time! It just happened! I'd never killed anything before, especially not an innocent rabbit!" Her defense was cried out in a shrilly, almost whimpering tone. Nevertheless, she didn't block out Desmond's words at any point in time. She heard what he said and she listened to it, and, when he was finished, she sighed and wiped some more tears from her reddened face.
"I know about the circle of life, but not everything is supposed to kill!" Her tone was no longer defensive as much as it was strained thinly in stress. "I never imagined being the one that has the dirty job of killing! I like animals, and I really do prefer them alive and not between the jaws of the wolf I just recently discovered I am!" She paused to sniffle and choke back a whimper as more tears fell. She couldn't help herself. "It's just...I was not prepared for this. It just happened! And I guess I really don't know if you were prepared for what you are or not, and I really do not mean to sound cruel, but at least you seem more capable of handling all this than I am," she voiced in her teary tone, crossing her arms tightly around herself almost as if to embrace herself.
