Ankyra Sound that good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed

Fading this.  :)

The pair loped around one another, Nyx following Ingram close with bared fangs in silent threat to nip at him again should she find herself close enough, but he always remained just out of her reach. Her feathery tail lashed merrily through the air at her hindquarters and she followed her dark-furred comrade without hesitation as he veered away across their invisible border.

The energy they shared settled as they ventured with new purpose: Ingram made certain that their potential new pack-mate had indeed gone on her way, while the tawny Ostrega wondered what his next trick might be as she trailed several yards behind him. She paused when he turned on his heels and began toward her again, his stride seedy enough to alarm her, and she braced herself for impact.

She yipped in surprise when Ingram did not barrel into her, but instead ducked his head enough that his teeth met with her upper forelimb. She jumped back, rearing up onto her hinds to bat at him with bore forepaws, but her claws merely raked the dark fur of his hindquarters as he darted past her and deeper into Grimnismal territory with a playful beckon.

Huffing through her nostrils, the raven-tipped Ostrega swung toward him with a determined growl and thundered along her companion's trail with determination in her stride.
