Blacktail Deer Plateau There is a light; there is a fire

The fur on Rue's spine rose slightly as Siqsa slipped toward the rear of the group, out of her line of sight. Logically she knew her safety was guaranteed by the presence of the alphas, so she forced herself to continue on without reacting. Despite remaining turned forward, her ears swiveled backward as her attention focused on Siqsa's every step and every breath. It seemed neither recent recruit would be caught off their guard. 

So, he did speak, it seemed. It was only one word, but it was full of truth. Rue's tail waved to signal her agreement, but she did not speak again so as to not break the very peace Siqsa claimed to appreciate.  Liri said something that Rue did not quite catch, but as Rue turned to glance at the other woman questioningly Liri murmurred something into her ear. This time, she did catch Liri's words, and her eyes sparkled their agreement. 

Rue needed no further encouragement after Liri and Kavik began the howl; she promptly lifted her voice to join with theirs. Although her speaking voice was soft and restrained, her singing voice was anything but. Her tones wove in and out of Liri's and Kavik's, adding a dimension that was all her own.
