The Tangle I said somebody's been shot, somebody's been abused

Shadess was growing. She was learning and as she did so, rose her confidence and perhaps, arrogance. When she was but a puppy and toddler, she followed her mother's every step. When she could go to and from the den on her own, she began to shadow her elder sister Sobeille. Now, having traveled to lands far beyond their home, Shadess found sureness in herself to come and go from outside the border now, though never seemed to stray too far from the smell of the sea. 

Today, Shadess trailed a cousin, following her and the same loudness which drove her here. What would she do with him? Another lesson to learn. Quietly, she slid to Chani's side, a hard evergreen eye fixed on the coywolf. Yet when she spoke, it was not to him, but her cousin, not caring that he could hear all of it either. A strange man so close to 'ome. Should we eat 'im? From what Shadess had been told, she knew @Sobeille would.
