The words "pierce the skin" made Wildfire's stomach flip uncomfortably. She swallowed and did her best to listen to the commander's instructions even as she drank in more deep breaths. She really didn't want to do this but she kept further protests to herself. She had already agreed and she could see how much it meant to the Alpha. It wasn't unlike the day when the yearling had (unwittingly) accepted a leadership position. She had done well with that, so perhaps the same thing would happen here.
"Um, okay," Wildfire said weakly, heart squeezing in her chest as she prepared herself for the task. She squinted at the existing marks on the commander's shoulder, then looked dubiously at the sharpened stone. She bit her lip, then dipped her head to take it into her mouth. It rattled noisily against her teeth as she pushed her tongue against it until it was positioned properly.
Wildfire paused, looking to Thuringwethil and waiting for her to get into position. Her eyes squeezed shut a moment, then popped open again. You can do this, she told herself, swallowing as drool naturally began to pool around the object in her mouth. Just get it over with quickly, she added, slowly moving in until the sharp edge of the stone pressed into the Heda's flesh.
Here she paused, awaiting permission or guidance or reassurance; she wasn't entirely sure.
