Bearclaw Valley Should I sink or swim

indra hadn't missed the wince the male had issued, but more pressing was the fact that he remained ignorant of xan's name. indra did not even bother to hide the skepticism on her muzzle. was he truly a wolf of bearclaw, if he had not known their alpha's name?

and furthermore, what wolf would supplicate themselves to a superior of which they had no knowledge of?

before she could get too judgmental, she remembered she too had pledged herself to xan before becoming aware of his true colors. perhaps it was not so different. unaware she might be jeopardizing anything, she issued a haughty scoff. "his name is alexander." she still thought it weird a wolf would agree to live alongside someone they didn't know, but she kept that critical piece of information to herself.

"why have you been busy?"
