i was gonna wait until I finished with Vienna but why wait? :D

Manauia had taken upon herswlf the task of exploring some of the regions surrounding what was to be Tezca's new claim.  There was little of interest to be found in the flats, yet they did show promise for migrating herds, as the grasses would likely draw such things in. So long as they lay unclaimed, they could serve a nice addition to their own territory, a place to find prey when their own lacked.

She strolled along, deep in thought, happy for the distraction such sensible topics brought. If not that, she knew she would be dwelling on Tezcacoatl's offer and her own promised response. Now that Citali and Noctli were here, things were a bit brighter, but she had not spoken with them enough to find if they even were remaining. Perhaps it was a conversation they needed to share. Her decision, once given, would be immutable so long as Tezca held her to it. No matter her past failures, still she held her word as an oath.

It was then that she caught sight of another, and her ears pressed forward in surprise. Since Duskfire's downfall she hadn't known another pack to be in the area, so surely this was a passing vagabond? Unless a group moved in, which would spell possible annoyance for their own band.

At a light jog she started towards her, intent on finding out the meaning behind this.
