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

Nyx was so focused on the interaction between Wylla and the pale-furred newcomer (whilst wallowing in self-pity at her own countering) that she did not sense Chusi's change in demeanor. She continued to observe the tiny Alphess as she swooned over the offering of her coveted mushrooms and pricked a raven-tipped lobe as Reef propped herself up on her belly then gathered herself to a seated position.

While her initial impression of the aureate stranger was a good one, the tawny Ostrega was surprised when their leader announced an open "sold!" in response to granting her a position among them. She did not dare look upon the mottled she-wolf for fear of accidentally communicating her concern that this wolf's abilities were not question. So she blinked to Chusi then, curious to see what she might think of their latest initiate, and found a rather grim expression of the charcoal youth's fine features.

Nyx did not reach out to her, for she did not wish to draw attention to the girl's obvious uncertainty. Instead she chose to ignore her own curiosity on the matter and shifted her vivid gaze to Reef as she moved to address them both. Initially, she did not particularly want to go galivanting across the shore with this happy-go-lucky female, but she was quick to offer her assistance: "sure," she mustered something of a smile then, though it didn't quite reach her eyes, "how about we show you around first?"
