Wrapping up! :D Thanks for threading.

"You may do whatever you wish with them."

Bazi looked perplexed. She was still a bit too young and inexperienced to appreciate the nuances of inter-pack relations. Shar-Kali had always given her young scouts very strict guidelines to go by - on neutral territory, be civil. If so much as one paw crosses an inappropriate boundary without invitation, expect repercussions. Surrounding packs had similar systems of rule, and tensions were worked out in the moment - even Bazi had returned home bearing shame and superficial wounds once or twice, but that was that. There were guidelines, and they were very clear.

"OK," she said, wanting to give Fox the impression that she had understood. ".. I think I'll get to know the other packs, then. I caught a few scents whilst I was scouting. I'll go do that now," As smooth an exit as any. "Please excuse me."

It didn't seem appropriate to lick the alpha's chin, so she didn't, but backed respectfully away before scuttling off into the rain.
