Redtail Rise dracarys

@Thuringwethil

She slowed her stride only when near to the other, but she did not stop then. Her intent was clear as she drove toward the other with erect ears and a half-mast plume. Sangilak had always been her own master, who responded only to the Issumatar and her equal, who was the alpha male. The present man was her father; and he was also the longest male to keep his title for the second consecutive season. No doubt Siku had found forever in him, but there was no love in it, only power. Sangilak veritably reeked of that power, dripped it, but wore it loosely, let it slip from her shoulders only to adjust it squarely there when necessary.

Sangilak moved to draw in beside the other, but thought better of it at the last and faced the woman head on. She could not know if Tartok had sought to displace Thuringwethil and hers, too, but she doubted that unless resources were questionable. If that were the case, it was a wonder Thuringwethil lived at all... but then, Sangilak had never questioned her strength. Never had a chance to see it for herself, either. Sangilak, ever inarticulate, did not know how to begin. So she waited, feeling sure that the question was evident as her ears perked and she watched the other with marked interest. No (recent) injuries to be seen that told of battles lost, or battles won for that matter... she knew too little of the other to know her purpose in this place.
