Porcupine Ridge For a mother, a brother and me

I may or may not have misread the first post, ehe... rolling with it anyways!

It was her own fault that aggression had been displayed, and such was a fact she recognized immediately. First from the tawny male, and then from another whose presence she had never been in prior to that moment. From the way he had approached, the demeanor in which he'd presented himself, she could only assume he was one of the borders main guards. Watching as the first wolf moved back upon his arrival, however, she was left to believe that the dark male was the same she'd decided to seek council with only days ago. Rather than peace being the key component of their initial encounter as she had originally desired it to be, her senseless operation had stirred up quite the opposite. Even still, she bared not a single tooth in either of their directions, remaining neutral if not apologetic while still displaying the rank she upheld.

Words of an apology had lingered on the tip of her tongue, the motive behind them only to calm the scene before things had a chance to escalate further. Before even a single word could be uttered, however, there came the thundering of steps from behind her. The footfalls were not without purpose, but that purpose was one she neither approved of nor was particularly fond of. One look at the male's face and she feared she might be incapable of stopping him, but her drive for leisurely lifestyles pushed her to at least make an attempt. It was her own recklessness that had led to such, and she would not allow for her members to act out against those who were in the right. "Noctura, do not move even an inch closer," she commanded, her voice as soft as usual but still stern. The dragoness was swift, then, in her moving between the ridge wolves and her own, silver meeting grey as she locked onto Noctura's gaze.

When Leo had arrived at the scene, too, the female's eyes flashed to him for only a second, briefly observing his actions. He showed some aggression but, while she could appreciate both of the male's drive to protect their home, she could not stand the notion of impending violence. "Leo, it is fine," she assured him, though her gaze did not leave Noctura's. "Do not encourage a battle you cannot fight." Asterr was well aware that the child had yet to be truly taught anything involving battle, which would do him no good even with his growing bulk.
