Porcupine Ridge Second sight has paid off well

Capri joined them, and Romulus, after sparing her a glance and giving her a respectful nod and a vague smile, turned his attention back on the quarreling pair, eying them with interested bi-colored eyes. They attempted to stare each other down at first, then Terich-mir took action, closing the distance between them and forcing physical contact. Romulus was learning from watching; if he was to challenge someone for their rank, he needed to know how to win. He knew how to challenge someone, he just wanted to see how others did it, and came out as the victor.

Taggarik came forward then, supporting Farstep, and the unknown newcomer came forward too. Romulus, after a moment of hesitation, moved forward, silently backing them up in their decision to support Farstep over the silver Beta Male, former Beta Male. The silver man, seemingly noticing that he had lost the fight, relinquished his position to Farstep, submissively licking the tawny wolf's chin.
