Sheepeater Cliff The dark of summer

Haha, is Teklar not living up to your expectations?

Edit on 08/18: I'm narrating a conclusion due to Teklar's removal from the game.

He surprised her somewhat by hurling out several jokes, although none at her personal expense. Warmed by his suddenly light—and somewhat infectious—good humor, Koontz wagged her tail. Every so often, their tails slapped together like two soft swords, yet she no longer minded the proximity. His quips had put her at ease, as well as his genteel demeanor. He looked a beast, for certain, yet he clearly didn't act like one—at least, not all the time.

Sniffing with mock indignation at his jest about the dent, Koontz said cattily, "I prefer woman over girl." Her pale eyes sparkled with mirth. "And I'm nowhere near big enough to leave dents in anything. You, maybe. Fortunately, you seem to have been gifted with more grace than yours truly. Perhaps you should take the lead," she said by way of accepting his invitation to continue. As best as she could, she stepped aside, making room for him to take the helm.

He proceeded and she fell into step behind him, their subsequent venture lasting several hours. In that time, Koontz not only learned much about what Sheepeater Cliff could offer her pack, she also learned quite a lot about Teklar—enough to know that she hoped to one day see him in her ranks. Today, however, they went their separate ways after (carefully) descending the cliffs, the young Beta heading back home now that the day had reached high noon.
