King Elk Forest with baited breath

 
Nova felt herself not moving, not breathing until the Elk had passed her and she was released from it's hold. Of course there was no claim that the creature could make that the wolves could not topple - but it would be done with bloodshed and loss no doubt. A beast so magnificent wouldn't go down easily and to take them down almost felt sacrilegious. Of course wolves had to eat, but, this wasn't the way they needed to go. Not with the King Elk. Nova let out a breath once the beast had passed her on, and it seemed only moments later that Mato had found her. "Yes," She admitted, turning to face him and press a few gentle kisses to his cheek. While it wasn't a brutal show of submission she was still respectful to him not only as her brother but as her Morwinyon.

"We met eyes - he looked right at me." It was a little awe inspiring, to be honest, and had frozen her right in place. "I'm so glad you're back," Nova admitted with a gentle smile, tail giving a few sways behind her. She was eager to hear how it had gone - and to maybe discuss her own trip to see their father and siblings, as loathe as she truly was to go back to the Caldera.
