Ankyra Sound the cask of amontillado

the thin, multi-colored female draws her attention first, moving along the beach with not so much purpose as to be alarming. Avicus rounds upon the wolf and is about to ask her name and business here when a more familiar face pops into view.

Avi!

Meerkahh', she responds, giving the tawny wolf a brief nod. one corner of her mouth twists upward, a faint smile. you here. wi' your man? 

she is surprised Meerkat had chosen so, but also pleased. the stronger Sapphique was, the better. even if Avicus hasn't found any trace of Nyra here, she doesn't believe it for a second; and even if the woman is truly gone, she always returns.

she jerks her muzzle toward the stranger. who dhis? she asks brusquely.
