Ouroboros Spine the same [voice] that oft-times hath

she is the first to hear the call of a stranger upon their borders. originally, she hopes it is the taggerung who has come for a visit upon their last conversation. however, the voice is different when it calls for an audience, it is not jarring like the coy man. with interest, she heads towards the scene. with raised concern due to the situation with nuak, shikoba leaps at the chance to ensure safety of the spine and all of its inhabitants. 

so, she leaves her ulaq and heads towards the edge of the territory. she approaches with a slight air of dominance -- a tail that begins a slow rise up, coarse hackles edging up, her chin held high -- all to see a boy made of cream and soil at the edge of moonglow. he is slightly bigger than her, though his build is lighter than her own muscled frame. sulfur eyes examine him thoroughly as coal black lips part to speak.

"who you?" she asks, voice rough around the edges, yet her tone is soft with the boy. she can keep him busy until the duck or her spawn come to intervene.
