starting at the end

hope you don't mind me throwing edy in here. i'm gonna try something... different with him to spice things up in his life, haha.

Edy's abrupt promotion to the near-top of the pack's ranks had given him a new burst of confidence. While before he stooped low, trying to hide his size, he now allowed himself to stand erect, ears pointing decidedly forward and his tail often curling over his back. Of course, he still knew his place beneath Akhlut and Pied, but he was not willing to give up his rank to any other. And if he had it his way, he would soon be using this same stance around Pied. Not that he had anything against her, of course. He just yearned for it so. Besides, he felt his age should somehow have some weight when it came to who was on top. He had languished at the bottom for so long back home, and he would languish no more.

As the pale woman strode one way, Kennedy was going the other. They grew closer and closer until Kennedy set eyes upon her. She was near-pristine white with minty green eyes. The Delta felt something stir within him, and before he knew it, he had lengthened his strides and quickened his pace to meet her sooner. Because they were moving in different directions, he was approaching her head-on. Slowing as he came toward her, he arched his neck and sniffed the air around her. She was definitely of the ridge, although he had not seen her here previously. When he halted, he merely chuffed a warm greeting in her direction.
