Redtail Rise the colloquy of monos and una

She knew it was coming- and invited it, ready to welcome a battle with Avicus that would settle things once and for all. She knew she had the advantage of both health, and constant training, and she stepped back deftly to avoid the crushing snap of jaws aimed for her face. When her own jaws clacked together, a grin was left there for one moment as she readied herself to plunge toward Avicus-

-only to find Augur in the way, beseeching both of them. Her ears flicked back in surprise to see such an unexpected indecision within him. She would have expected for him to turn toward whoever it was who needed to step down. It was clear that the wolf who challenged for Wealda could not co-exist with the current Berskerkr, not after this. But the Ulfhedinn, in the middle, warred with the decision. 

She wanted the fight, but at the same time, the fact that he didn't choose Avicus' side, or stand by to allow the fight to go on was enough of an indication that he recognized her authority. He saw that resorting to a fight was simply a show of power, and he didn't seem willing to let that happen. Surely, she thought, he wouldn't have approved of how Wealda had handled things over the past year. 

She could earn Wealda again, sure- but fighting wasn't the way for her to do it. 

"Thtand down, Avicuth." She stated again. "I'm the Bertherkuh, fighting ith what I do. An' if you weren't the mother of the children that I love, I'd have ripped yuh throat out the moment yuh bared it to me." She growled as a warning. "Yuh not a leaduh, yuh a wolf who maketh bad choitheth, ovuh and ovuh again an' thtill feelth entitled to a role she conthtantly failth at. You thtepped down cauthe at leatht at one point, you realithed you weren't cut out fuh it. If you want Redtail Rithe to keep it'th reputation, then thith pack detherveth bettuh than you."
