Neverwinter Forest night of the hunter

As soon as Five was clear of the venomous serpent, lulled back into a peaceful coil once more confident that the two intruders would not return near it, he paused in his steps towards the woman, a momentary lapse between his stride to cast a look towards it to ascertain that it was content; and also to ponder what might have become of him would he have chosen to confront the creature as opposed to peacefully backing away into safety. This lasted for but a few seconds before his attention fell back upon his companion, his approach neutral, not sure how she might react to him. These southern wolves were so different from the wolves that occupied the Tlapetlanti Valley, and what he had came to suspect from the northern wolves when he was set out upon Quetzalcoatl's orders was disregarded. Five was not sure if he was to expect hostility, or friendliness; or perhaps some varying shade of gray. 

Nicked ear flickered towards the woman as she spoke, breathing a sigh of relief, thanking Gods — though she did not specify which Gods. Five, for a brief moment, was tempted to inquire but bit lightly down on his tongue to stop himself before the words could pass through his lips. Perhaps she was not an Amazon but she was a woman and the teachings of the Amazon did not discriminate against pack. Only gender. As his companion was a female she was to be treated like he would treat any of the Coatl Rise's women. Five's eyes of moss green remained lowered when she spoke, his stance almost submissive (without actually going into full submission). He was not selfless, though the Gladiator did not expect her t know that. “I was only doing what is expected of me,” To give his life to preserve the superior gender so that more strong women could be born. It had not came to the extreme of life and death but even so; approaching the serpent had not been much of a thought. His minor hesitation warranted punishment but Five did not expect to ask her to deliver it. “I am hardly selfless." He would have addressed her as Domina but she was not his Queen and only Quetzalcoatl would ever be his true Domina.
