Stone Circle She knows no limits

What had Nunataq learned from Xan, while stalking him during his patrols and meetings with those rare strangers that happened to come accross Bearclaw valley? Stand tall, ears up, tail up, be brave, look confident, step forward and let them know you are big and mighty, and no one should mess with you. Nuna managed all this with various levels of success, because, while she was not afraid of the other, she was very aware of their size difference and the fact that the other was an adult. And for a wolf, who was still just a kid, the natural respect for grown-ups toned down her attempts.

Therefore she met the other with wagging tail within the same level of her body, not so much of standing tall than crouching just a little and instead of the confident gaze forward, one that was politely averted. Laurel would be proud, if she saw the girl behave as she did now. The next part about the proper etiquette was a little more difficult to carry out, because Nuna had no idea, what the other had just said, and instead, simply leaned forward to have a good look of the other and sniff as well to build a new file in her mind for this person.
