Jason did notice the action. It would have been strange if he didn't notice someone sniffing at him, no matter how discretely they were doing it. "Panther," he smirked a bit more. If nothing else, he could be glad that around there, panthers weren't necessarily connected to the people from Hotshot. As nice as most of them were, he wasn't quite so inbred. Or inbred at all. "And we come in all sorts'a shapes where I'm from."
He inhaled again just to make sure he got the scent right the first time, and he knew he did. "Wolf, huh? Ain't cats'n dogs supposed to fight?" Mostly, Jason was just making a joke, as stupid as it was (and yes, he was fully aware that it was a stupid joke). Really, he had no intention of duking it out with this one. As long as she didn't start anything, at least.
