He let out a whine in tandem with her as he writhed around to face Silaluk again, this time though with a much more reserved demeanour.

He was still young and anxious to test his strength against others, though he mentally made a note to try it when their branch of Tartok was established. When the subordinate wolves knew exactly who was alpha. With a glance to the other wolf who lay in a more submissive posture than he, Anuniaq slowly rose to tentatively lick at Silaluk's chin with a whine, seeking forgiveness for his mistake.
