Ouroboros Spine It is better to seek, then to receive blindly

sorry i couldn't resist!! #protectiveaunty

shikoba has had little trouble sleeping as of late, though every now and then she finds herself growing restless within her ulaq. thus, nightly strolls and border checks have become part of a routine for her ever since she lay foot into the land of Moonglow. though, tonight, there seems to be some excitement as a howl can be heard echoing through the spine.

the woman dutifully carries herself towards the border at a hasty trot and notes the scent of one of the children. however, he remains hidden for now, as the attention is instead brought towards the figure on the cusp of the spine. she can see that a woman, even smaller than herself, has found her way to the border. and the voice that she makes, one that demands something from the wolves who live here, brings about a flame of annoyance within her.

shikoba's hackles and tail immediately flag themselves as she lifts her head and her eyes narrow at the woman. whoever she may be, the time is to not demand but instead to listen. perhaps this minor misunderstanding will be cleared and forgiven. though, this will only depend on how the woman decides to change her attitude from here on out. almost instinctively, she walks in front of the foliage area where the boy hides, where his scent is the strongest. so long as he belongs to Moonglow, he belongs under her wing of protection.

"back down." a command, and a lip pulls up from the mercenary to expose one of her many teeth. a deadly promise that if an apology is not heard from, or the wrong move is made, she would not hesitate to lash out.
