Blood on my Hands

Tonravik moved with him, marking as she moved along and looking past the borders into the land beyond. Thus far, they had no run-ins with any outsiders. They were diligent in marking their territory... and it payed off. There had only been one incident in which they had lost a member... though that was taken care of. None were left from that bout of carnage.

His query was met with a contemplative look. Did they have enemies...? Tonravik knew of the Plains disbanding, and thought of the plains wolves they had dealt with. The tawny wolf had come to them, but had been chased off... she wasn't an explicit enemy any longer, but she was a threat with her knowledge of poison and her cubs lack of knowledge. And then there were the wolves she felt were close... it disgruntled her. She hardly cared they were there first.

"Trespassers are to be killed, no questions asked," she remarked, "Though be sure to call to the pack to alert them, so we may assist—" while she did not grin, her eyes seemed to; there was a definite enjoyment in removing a threat, and the team effort it could involve was only further means to bond with the pack. "Those that would try and use our resources. We do not have specific enemies; we also do not have friends. We keep to ourselves." If any were to harass their family, they would be met with the entirety of it.

She thought it prudent to mention the tawny wolf, in the off-chance she wished for retribution. There had been no reason for her accosting them any of the other times, who was to say she would not come again? "There was a pack of plains wolves, once. They are no more. One remains who knows of poisons. She looks like a wolf for plains. Matches them. Plain," she described, not at all eloquent. She matched where she lived perfectly. Not an eyesore... just your typical tawny wolf, plain. "We took her tail from her, and some of her throat, ear," what else? She moved to his flank and gestured to it, "There." Tonravik believed the woman was not long for the world, but in case she tried to sabotage any of her wolves with that knowledge... It was best for him to be wary.
