Kintla Flatlands Plates and Saucers

While her outward posture may have been seen as aggressive to a bystander, to Pallas, there was little in the world more important than establishing hierarchy. Hierarchy bred structure, and this environment wolves flourished in. Shrike's lack of defensiveness was met with an equal lack of hostility: as soon as she had made her rounds Pallas pulled an agreeable distance from the sterling furred male and relaxed her posture visibly. His sniffing was allowed, and as she turned away she saw him remain still in her peripherals. With unspoken introductions out of the way the she-wolf felt much more at ease in this stranger's company. Eventually she moved again, lifting her muzzle up and down as the scent of a deer filtered elusively in the wind. With a soft grunt she was off in the direction of the scent, her expression that of a wolf captured with interest as she trotted down the trail.
