Redsand Canyon Stand-off

The snap of teeth and his rumble made Sovereign's ears slant back a bit further, but she otherwise stood still and soldier-like the further he spoke. 
He spoke with a reverence for his....holcan?
It was a language she did not know, but she was willing to learn all the same. 

As soon as Ajaw was finished speaking, Sovereign held the briefest of pauses before nodding with a certainty in what she wanted.
This.

"I want to train - to become one of your Holcan." She responded, though her tone held a deference that meant to say she knew it was up to him. 
There was a new fire in her eyes though, that was telling of ambition.
After all, it was in her nature, part of her blood as per her mother before her. 
She could say more to drive her desires home, but she didn't quite feel she needed to.

The sentence probably said what she would say otherwise - offering her body, brawn, strength - and her loyalties - to Him.

realized i made a small typo, fixed! lol
