Blacktail Deer Plateau east will take me back

Grezig shook her head slightly and blinked a couple times to bring herself back to the present. It would not to do to stare oddly at others as the beta. She had to be on, not lost in thought about things that no longer mattered. It was time to get over the Kavik/Liri thing. She had let this drag out far too long and it was making her literally insane. No. She needed to get back to being to the beta of a pack she had helped found back in summer. Winter was coming and they needed to prepare.

She cleared her throat and focused her gaze on the male with the strange eyes. “Hail,” she said. “You are new. I am Grezig, beta of this pack.” She paused. “But you need not stand on ceremony with me.” A strange thing for her, of all wolves, to tell anyone. In her natal pack, hierarchy was strictly followed, and those higher up demanded the respect of those below. But so long in a pack like the Plateau had eased Grezig’s need to feel dominant over others. She only wished that they be properly respectful to everyone and that was good enough. It was lonely, being so highly respected that others did not even look you in the eye. She’d rather have friends. “What is your name?”
