Perhaps there was too much power in jaws, in the elongated fangs, failing to seek purchase on her clothes to drag her back to the prison – they tore instead. So he waited, with narrowed, feline eyes and brawn eager to unfurl and uncoil in any direction, at her attempts, at her trials, at the length of these tribulations.

She’d already tried to escape once, feigning interest and intrigue in her boys’ departure before bolting off towards the forest – why on earth would he believe her now?
Maybe she knew he wasn’t about to give in. Obstinance for obstinance. Tenacity for tenacity. A root of stubborn, walled potential, once harpooned in winter’s peaks and valleys. He’d survived far, far worse than these measures, and would do so again in a heartbeat.
The beast loosened another growl, a warning, of claws, of ivories that could easily maul, rip, and tear into skin, of more malicious endeavors, far greater, far worse, than these petulant eaves. Retreating partially off her figure, his skull swung back in the direction they’d come from, towards the prison, indicating her required actions, or the foreboding consequences if she aimed for deceit and duplicity again. He’d given her enough opportunities and chances.
