Rising Sun Valley beginning

When the smaller of the wolves slunk in to the group, Njal turned an ear as if suspicious; but he realized upon Bazi's nod that this was one of their own. A new recruit most likely, one that he had not met. So he thought little more about the young Athena - keeping his attention, his full alert, upon the looming stranger. Fox arrived quickly and cast some words towards the entity, but the dark figure did not seem eager to leave. They could change that, given the order. Njal felt himself prickling with anticipation for the oncoming brawl; only a little resistant to the idea of fighting this odd creature off of their lands.

Bazi made a comment and Njal rumbled a low agreement, but said nothing. Either the wolves of the mountain were stupid, or they were under orders to invade the Creek explicitly. Considering the pleasant split between Jinx and the rest of them, that seemed unlikely. The recent arrival of so many Silvertip wolves was therefor not caused by Jinx's leadership, but her inability to control her own subordinates - something he was quite surprised by. Njal pondered these things as he watched for movement, but grew antsy and made the first step. He lurched closer to the poised individual - still patiently waiting for the order to truly attack - but made it clear that he was ready to take after the large stranger.
