Bearclaw Valley judgement day

Laurel was ready for a fight. She hadn't expected to get what she demanded at all, for even she knew it was simply too much. At first it looked like there would be a fight as he showed his dominance and she did not drop her guard, but then he seemed to just.. give up, it seemed. Laurel felt exposed for having told him last time they met how she felt — feelings she was not really all that sure about herself — but she decided to simply skim those feelings to the background for now. Xan obviously didn't feel the same at all and though she wanted to punch him for it, it was the most important to think about her pups first, now, and the future they would have here.

Her body posture relaxed as she was given what she had demanded, though she could hardly believe it. "Good." Laurel fell silent then, as she was not really sure what else to say. She hadn't exactly thought that far ahead.
