Ouroboros Spine oh no, she's at the bottom of that bottle

Just to note.. xD wolves do mark trees with their paws because of scent glands. Also   Also, @Kroc 'Taruk is marking along the borders so she wouldn't include moving back within very far? Just for setting purposes.. working toward warden trade. :)

With one more lift, the crimson wolf scoured his claws down another strip of bark, though his eyes drifted to a flash of movement. Sidling up beside him was a she-wolf whose pelt resembled his own greatly – and without any pause, she stared up to him, stirring his own wolfish brows to arch. “Marking,” he responded simply, one ear shifting back at the entrance of the large ivory female who had been at Tonravik’s side through his acceptance.

They both seemed confused by this method – and slightly bemused by this, Ivitaruk pushed off the tree, allowing his form to settle neutrally below Kroc’s own dominance – though his cinnamon eyes flashed toward Salamander, as if daring her to attempt to stake claim at rank above him.

Determining that he had answered their questions, the large wolf’s head tipped slightly, a quiet indication they could continue to walk with them along the borders, should they so desire. Just because company had befallen him did not place pause to his task.
