Ankyra Sound lovin' in the moonlight (discovery)

I don't want to force a dead thread on you, so wanna spree the next few days to complete? Sorry for sucking. :(

It had been a long journey, but the glowing tides had marked it as complete. Now the truly hard work would begin, though it had the illusion of ease; they were united, and they had found a territory that would be their home... what else was there? Aktaiê had not been ignorant of the work that went into leading a pack, but she had little experience in the effort required to actually establish it. Themiscrya had existed for her entire life, and for many generations previous to it; there wasn't much establishing or defending required. This venture was different. Harder.

There were times when she doubted herself and her conviction, times when she needed to slip away from the responsibilities and expectations to recharge and refocus. Beneath the moonlit night, she slipped away from her acolytes to do just that. She moved along the shore, tuned to the sand between her toes, and the salty tide that lapped over her paws. Her turquoise eyes were hooded as she drank in the briny air — but they went slightly wide as the flame-colored silhouette of another moved into focus.

She approached carefully, wondering what the little she-wolf was after, suspicious that Peregrine had sent her to reclaim Junior... but that didn't seem right, for the female had spoken in defense of the dark juvenile. When the distance had closed suitably between them, Aktaiê chuffed gently to gain the other's attention.
