Hope Anchors the Soul (IC Joining)

A few moments passed before Malachi promptly emerged from the treeline to greet their visitor. Tuwawi's half-lidded eyes watched him expectantly, much like an attentive parent. She owed Malachi the world for preserving Duskfire and protecting Maera during her absence. The least she could do was respect his place as alpha, unaware she would soon act as an insurgent and attack the young wolf, Adlartok, in the coming days.

She offered Malachi a simple nod of acknowledgement as he came to stand besides her, gaze then returning to Sharlon. Acceptance is not freely given, Tuwawi mused to herself sourly, but she remained silent as the alpha appraised the recruit who beseeched them.
