Larksong Grotto the world looks down and frowns

Right - there were only two of them out and about, so it was silly to expect any sort of structure right now. The conversation went a little stale, maybe because Tavi didn't want to really talk - but then she heard Reek greet someone. A scent drifted her way, and she lifted her head from her paws, alert and sharp; her ears twisted back for a moment either because of the pain in her neck, or the appearance of a stranger. The scent was layered — and vaguely familiar, but not familiar enough for her to recognize a Dragon off the bat.

While Reek did not seem affected by the appearance of a stranger in their midst, Tavi was the opposite. Her fur spiked and she tried to slip away from the shadow alongside her; getting up so she could face the trespasser. Even if their claim was weak, there was only one way to enforce it. What are you doing here? she leveled her gaze at the other wolf, and loomed above her one ally, wondering if Reek would stand alongside her or continue laying about.

It was entire possible that Tavi was on edge because of her injury and the stress of the days before — or maybe she was finally coming to terms with this new position she was soon to acquire.
