Ankyra Sound the wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound and a wave broke over the railing

The blonde wolfess sank down onto the ground, her pale chest pressed to the sand as Nyx hovered ominously over her. She submitted with ease, enough so that the golden Ostrega felt that she could relax somewhat. Bristled black guard hairs began to ease along the length of her dorsal, though her ears remained erect atop her peppered crown as she bore luminous eyes down at the pale stranger.

Chusi's arrival was a welcome one, and she let her muscles slacken somewhat. Regarding her charcoal comrade with a mere flick of her ear in acknowledgement, Nyx growled curiously as she lowered her head to get a better sniff at the aspiring Grimnismal wolfess.

Although Wylla's approach was not soundless, the golden Ostrega was not expecting the tiny Alphess to ram against her and rudely shove through with a vicious snarl directed right at her. Surprised by the bash against her rear, Nyx yipped and automatically swung around to defend herself with a silent flash of teeth, though her fangs were promptly sheathed as she came face-to-face with her leader. Bowing her ears and lowering her tail in submission at once, the agouti she-wolf quickly ducked off to the side with nothing more than an apologetic whine of defeat to accompany her wounded pride.

It was at this point that Reef rolled belly-up and presented her gift, so Nyx settled in the background alongside Chusi with a bump of her shoulder to a dark flank for her own reassurance.
