The Sentinels I aim to please

sorry! finals week is killin' me D:

it was not taltos' intention to frighten the child, nor even to impress upon her a sense of his dominance. yet she responded keenly, and he accepted it quietly. her words were vague, but she tended his inquiry, and for that he was impressed, by both her demeanour and her brevity. aria displayed a cunning understanding of their needs -- a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and once she had finished, he gave a single nod.

"i am lasher. my mate, blue willow, is our healer, and our beta is a wondrous and intelligent man named dante. i will rank you as our lambda." his eyes shone with a brazen sort of affection for this new member of the glen. "welcome to donnelaith."

"we are quite freshly founded here, but the pack is strong -- we moved from inland." but he wearied of discussing such; his eyes turned to the wolfess. "you speak of skills indeed useful to us, but what is your passion? i would hear of it."
