At the mention of his 'Alphaship', Tethys obediently slid forward. Save for the small grin, the movement was entirely realistic. Starting with her head, the dark creature began to roll onto her back in a slow but deliberate move, over-exaggerating her submission as a play on what a normal subordinate would do. Tethys ignored the cold mud that seeped into her spinal fur as she found herself upside-down and low to the earth, her ears flat and tail tucked. The move would be unheard of within the Nereides, for her sisters had no reason to display their bellies to anyone; such was the advantage of their society. And now the wolf did it out of jest, with her front paws stretched above her skull and toes splayed out.

Her disgust of traditional pack hierarchy had manifested itself not in anger, but in a playful game shown through Tethys' apt to submit. For she aimed to draw him in, a lure whilst she took in knowledge to share with her pack.

Why didn't you say anything before? Tethys berated in a sickly-sweet voice, staring up at the male with complacent pools. Even if she had never heard of the Caldera before, Tethys made an inference that Peregrine's pack was similar to the foolish families that lived outside Ankyra's sphere of influence, where males had much more power than the gods had ever meant to deem them.

I'm Tethys of Ankyra Sound- not nearly as close as your home is. The female wondered briefly if more of Peregrine's followers were close by- would that hinder with her game? In her fit of obnoxious submission the raven stretched out a paw to place on his leg, as if silently asking him not to attack her in her state of vulnerability.
