Sawtooth Spire a city that endures

The Spider's presence next to her was acknowledged with the flick of an ear and a sideways glance. His companionship was a curious one for her, but welcome all the same. The child went ignored for the moment as she greeted Tonravik in kind, her tail waving behind her a time or two. The Alpha female moved on to the others and with a nudge to Aasivak's shoulder, she slipped away from him to greet her red furred brother-in-arms. A friendly rumble came from her, shoulder meeting his in normal fashion. Teeth nipped at his fur, clipping near to him before Tonravik returned to her station.

She stepped back now, ears perked now to listen to what was being said. The invitation to stay in the den with the Alphas' family was made and once upon a time, she might have outright declined. Her ability to live in solitude was forged by strength and force of will, but she also knew the requirements of her rank and status within the pack. She would need to find a happy medium between sleeping in her own den and here. A simple nod signaled her acceptance of this, remaining silent otherwise.
