Ouroboros Spine all dolled up in gabardine

The tawny pelted Alpha had turned to look at her, probably weary of a face he had never seen before. He chuckled as the crow cawed again at Mara, the black feathered bird clearly mocking her. Mara directed her stormy grey gaze from the black feathered bird and back to her Alpha. Forgetting about the snow that sat atop her head and back like a blanket, she dipped her muzzle low in a respectful greeting. In doing so, all the snow that rested on her head fell forward and landed on the ground with thmmp. The disturbance caused some smaller pieces of snow to drift up from the ground right to Mara's nose. They tickled and she let out a loud sneeze.

She felt her cheeks heat up in embarrassment and she quickly snuck a glance up at her Alpha again. She didn't quite know how to greet him, especially after her latest episode of clumsiness, so she just said whatever came to mind first.

"You're Mordecai, right? I mean Alpha, actually, I don't know. Does everyone call you Alpha or your name?" she blurted out quickly, her words jumbled and confusing. She looked up at him again and smiled sheepishly, "I'm Mara." She finished quietly. As if he doesn't know that, he's the Alpha! She scolded herself.
