Phoenix Maplewood she has used ancient and sanctified words

Lasher's howl had not gone unnoticed, but nor had the pang of irritation that followed in its wake. The alpha of the Phoenix pack had not been to see her former family at Blacktail Deer Plateau since the discovery of Osprey's death. She couldn't bring herself to show any reliance on them, not when they'd failed to show her any priority. Saena may have left the plateau behind, but held fast to the belief that it was necessary she had done so. Had she remained, she never would've met Reek, and she would still be beneath Dante, of that she was certain. As she aged and became more mature (she thought), she realized (or led herself to believe) that Dante would only bow his head to one wolf: his reflection.

He'd proven it when they'd both told her that they already knew of Junior and furthermore of Osprey and he'd shown no remorse for having failed to even try to inform her. Lasher had shown it, but Saena had forgotten already in her disappointment that he was not equally to blame for indifference.

So while Saena did rise from her place betwixt the roots of a maple tree, and while she did head in Lasher's direction, it was not with the intent of engaging. She would approach, perhaps close enough to watch from the safety of the trees, or she would stand imperially in his sights and bid him leave with silence alone. The beta had always been like a father figure, but he too had failed to sense any urgency in informing Saena of the deaths of her family members. He too was a player in her immature blame game, one she would likely not stop playing until she was old and greying.

She approached, spied his dark figure against the bright plain, and hid herself as best she could between two trees. She would've remained there until he left, but the sound of a cheery voice calling out, Lasher! made her wince. Her whiskered lips twitched into an expression of discomfort when Reek stepped forth to meet the plateau beta warmly. She herself did not move. Her stark white coat was likely not completely inconspicuous in the shadow of the maplewood, but she hoped to remain unseen. She had no desire to interact with Lasher or hear his apologies this time.

This can be a cameo post, or they can notice her lurking, just tag me again if you go that route! :)
