Ankyra Sound watch me

mhm, kharybdis responds as she is able to puzzle together what he meant — and as that was the most important part that he was trying to communicate, the furie does not get discouraged by the communication barrier between them. in fact, he gives a slight wag of his tail as she mentions that she finds it 'interesting'. of course, it is all he's ever known and while he knows from the packs he's conquered for his sisters to rule and extend the ironjawed grasp of the titan spire that it's not how all packs operate ( even if he strongly disagreed with that notion ).

you ...a-are warchief? he stumbles over the word as he second guesses if it was right or not as it tumbles out of his mouth. typically 'second-in-command' reserved for males in the spire, while the imperatrix and her council of three reigned above him. was she, like him, a wardog? the furie left loose upon enemies?

he tries to focus on how she explains it, tries to draw it to his mind's eye but falters. you, ...ah got imperatrix? he asks, a soft furrow of his brow a tell-tale of his brief wave of frustration at himself and how unnatural those words sound in his voice, how heavy they feel on his tongue. woman lead you? is your alpha a woman also? for nyra had said she was the second-in-command, after all.
