from the sidelines indra saw laurel shift and change her posture -- she also saw the tawny wolf slip from the rock like an insiduous shadow, snaking towards her sister with malevolent steps. even from a distance her intention was clear; the not-so subtle change in body language, the aggressive flail of her tail.
instinctively indra bristled, feeling her own body shift in retaliation. with a low growl slung into the air indra stalked forward, her amber gaze locked on reigi with authoritative command -- reigi was her subordinate, not the other way around. instinctively indra knew to deflect the situation before it turned into an all out brawl. she did not even notice sif as she came closer -- all indra had eyes on now was the female that had the audacity to challenge one of the first members of the pack.
what was that saying? studs fight for breeding rights... bitches fight for breathing rights. indra knew more than anything this situation was about to escalate - pack mob mentality was a dangerous thing and she already felt herself giving into redirected aggression.
had indra tail she would have flagged it dominantly -- she had to assert her position in other ways. she knew to lift her muzzle above reigi's in mark of her station, and she stalked forward stiff-legged, ears forward, with her muzzle crinkled into a silent snarl. her message was perhaps clearer: submit, or else.
indra might have let reigi challenge another wolf for its rank, but this wolf was laurel - and no one threatened her sister. her lips curled back once more, this time accompanied by a deep and powerful snarl.

now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turning gold,
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
