Larksong Grotto to conquer, first they must divide

It appears we look a lot alike— Tavi heard this and flicked an ear; it was an idle comment that should've meant nothing, but to the Alpha it was disconcerting. The woman swiftly tacked Aspen to the growing list of potential replacements - the kind that Reek might show an interest in. This line of thinking did little to ease Tavi's worries, and in fact, she lifted her head and took on a more dominant posture before the other woman.

Mm, yep, that'd be me. The other woman. She slurred this with haste, and while her body remained rigid and her expression clearly showing signs of annoyance, Tavi's voice was a bit more mirthful. She felt her gut twist after speaking though, aware that she'd just tried to make a joke out of a pitiful segment of her life. Was it in poor taste? Probably. But Aspen didn't know that. After a few seconds of staring down the gray woman, Tavi sat back down and stared out at the sloping vista around her. I guess Reek has a type. She commented next, more to herself than the new arrival.
