She picked up on the small woman's nervous energy, though she felt certain that she wasn't doing anything to provoke it. Teeth sheathed and hackles smoothed, Chacal's only real show of dominance came from her calm sense of security. This was her land, and it had belonged to her mothers before her, and would belong to her children after her. Faced with a small, worried-looking newcomer, she had no need to flex or flaunt.
Maleah was quick to apologize, and Chacal waved it off with a slow shake of her muzzle. She had no reason to apologize to Chacal- but the leader was wise enough to assume that she felt the need to apologize because there was guilt hiding somewhere. Perhaps it stemmed from the disbanding of her pack. Chacal leaned forward to sniff the air between them, but could identify no familiar scents that might yet linger upon the fidgety stranger.
The nervous energy is cut by the young woman's smile. Less nervous, perhaps, and simply brimming with energy, then. It was difficult to guess which could be true of the wolf before her, who was a stranger yet, and worthy of some forgiveness.
"I am Chacal, a leader of dis pack,
an' while healers are not somet'ing we lack-
dat skill be very valuable to all far an' wide;
an' we 'ave medicines dat come in wid de tide."
She knew some wolves had knowledge of plants, trees and herbs that grew inland, but not all healers would know of the medicines which came from, or along the sea. Chacal seated herself, hoping her calm energy might transfer to Maleah as well.
"Tell me more of yourself, Maleah,
so I might know where it is you 'ave been," She invited warmly.

It can be assumed that if Chacal is speaking, she will be singing. Her speaking patterns will always have a melodic quality to them.
