Ironically, Jhala was doing nothing of importance when the howl of rank shifts had come. While doing a bit of territory exploring, the young girl had come across a strange knot in a tree, and she was investigating with much interest. It was so large- but was it hollow? Was there food inside it? How did trees grow like this? She had no idea. 

Taggariks howl confused her, and she stood dumbfounded for a moment. Had she heard it right?  She glanced around to see if anyone else was around her, and with a gentle shrug she went after the sound of her alpha with mixed feelings about the call.

She arrived pretty quickly, apparently the two weren't too far apart to begin with. She dipped her head respectfully and lowered herself submissively. A Beta was still below an alpha, yeah? No reason to be any less submissive, she thought. She smiled half-heartedly to him. She was unsure of what to say. She was excited, honestly she was, but she remembered her talk with Taggarik where she blatantly told him she didn't think she was ready to be any sort of leader. Did he disagree? Or? Was there really just no other option. She knew she really wanted to take the position, but she was just worried about how she would do.
