Broken Antler Fen it loves as harsh

praimfaya gives aleks a small, encouraging smile as he tests out the typical greeting given to kru and non-kru alike. it never occurs to her that it might send a bad message for it is always coupled with posturing that indicates how she is greeting: friendly, cautious, hostile; and it is close enough to it's common equivalent that she never thinks to change it. would she have it entirely her way she wouldn't have to speak common at all. she much prefers trig to it but then again, it gives roangeda and those who know it ( or who are learning ) a distinct advantage around strangers. it allows them to communicate with one another without letting a stranger know their business. and as aleks has stated previously: particularly useful in a place where conversation was not private and a situation in which might turn unsafe.

praimfaya's quiet but attentive as he asks his next question: how to greet someone with a higher rank. they are addressed by their rank. she has called dacio klikalida several times, though mostly when speaking to outsiders. while we aren't particularly a secretive pack you can also use rank when speaking of kru to outsiders. it keeps a bit privacy among them, praimfaya supposes. her mother had been big on addressing wolves by rank and whether that was correct or not it was something that praimfaya picked up from shadowing her all those months.
