Phoenix Maplewood i'm not throwing away my shot

Laika finished dragging her kill into the small clearing where the cache lay, setting the doe down in the snow, and letting the pheasant drop from her shoulders. She turned and dipped her head to Reek with a respectful smile, remembering when her eyes made contact with his. She would never live that down!

"Hello Reek, Ukko." The newbie said, dipped her head to the beta as well. She knew he was of higher rank as well.  "I brought some prey for the cache," She explained. Then she realized she didn't have to say that and she smiled sheepishly.

She sat down on her haunches, tail curling around her paws and she turned to Ukko, but didn't meet his gaze.

"I'm pleased to meet you, Ukko. Spring can't stop talking about how kind you were to let her join the pack."
