Amekaze let her momentum continue for a time, until it was the scent of Jace that distracted her and gave her focus another place to go. She adjusted her course just subtly and moved closer to him.
Her posture remained proud, albeit just deferential enough in Jace's presence now that she had come closer. As one of the only two wolves above her, he was of the very few she would be mindful of this around. Her ears fanned back as she chuffed a low greeting his way, although the note may have been lost over the sound of rumbling thunder in the distance. He was a larger wolf than she but she kept her head and neck relaxed while she studied his posture in the event he pressured her for a deeper show of respect. Amekaze was still learning the personal nuances of her fellows.
Jace,
she breathed, allowing her tail to waver gently against her legs. I have been thinking.. of our offense here. You are our Warden, our defense, what do you think?
she asked, hoping to pick his brain while she looked him up and down -- he was a big, well-built wolf. Surely, though, he could dance. Ame had seen bulkier beasts than he move with surprising elegance when called upon by the fight. She had seen what he had done to Ferdie but never had she needed to see him move in battle, friendly or otherwise. The notion was a curious one that she would potentially explore when the time was right.
