Verdigris Ravine nuff of this nonsense

cameo!

by design, zoug had not seen the worth of competing for the clan women. his spiritual knowledge, coupled with the deep scarring of his eye, had made him seem otherworldly and inapproachable. they sought him for his body and the good fortune that might be bestowed by his walking of the ghostplaces.

but when a man arrived to the place where tribe made their home, zoug rose on stiff legs, hackles lifted all the way down to his hips. the scent was -- wrong. he could see this one was male, and had similar looks to kusuma, but zoug did not like it.

less for the fact the stranger was male, and more that he was distinctly different in a way the reticent man did not like.

shy one came then. zoug relaxed, watching as she greeted the newcomer. he said nothing, only speculated before returning to his place along the inside of the red walls. kusuma came next, and in her voice it was clear this man was known. therefore, he had no further unsurety, and returned to his scouring of a wooden disk with sand, using his paw to move it upon the ground.
