Porcupine Ridge welcome to the neighborhood

From his perspective, nothing happened. There was some tense rumbling between Taggarik and Jhala, with Capriccio's ire hanging over all and chilling the atmosphere. Farstep's eye was drawn to the fierce alpha female, who held her role so well that he didn't think any would dare to challenge her anytime soon. Nor should they; the pack supported her wholly, or at least Farstep did.

No matter the support, though, the tension between Taggarik and Capriccio strained the whole pack. Farstep's slim ears sought refuge among the downy hairs on his scalp as discomfort settled over him, but they popped back up when the alpha male turned with a flick of his tail and dismissed them all with his body language. Vuk rose to follow the alpha male, followed by Anywl and Jhala, and Farstep rose and jogged after them. He paused to aim a nibble at Capriccio's jaw, not even sure if his companionable touch connect as he sidestepped away, and left in his wordless way to follow the train of wolves to the borders.
