Horizon Ridge glamourous indie rock and roll!

Perhaps not a good match for Akhlut after all, Pied found herself thinking as the clearly nervous Inkenoah awkwardly stammered her way through a reply, though I guess that's pretty judgmental... Still, the Gamma couldn't help but think such a nervous, ineloquent creature wouldn't be a good fit for an Alpha male. Although she wasn't sure about this pack's traditions—whether Akhlut's mate would become the Alpha female by default—she still thought the Sun Prince's wife should be an elegant, well-spoken creature.

Banishing these thoughts to the pack of her mind, Pied fell into step beside the taller, longer-legged Inkenoah. Almost immediately, she saw the slight hitch in the female's right hind paw and, though she would normally find it rude to remark on such a thing, she said lightly, "Oh, did you break your right hind paw too? Mine was broken in an accident—an attack, actually—about a month ago." Her eyes lifted from Inkenoah's foot to her face. "Do you think I can probably look forward to having a slight limp?" she wondered good-naturedly. Of course, she would prefer her broken bone to heal perfectly but Pied wasn't ignorant to the possibility of a permanent if slight lameness in her injured foot.
