Blackbeak Bluff a heart is a knife in disguise

Kalika looked at the two older women and how the first stiffened her posture. Though she wasn't a leader as Akantha was, she adjusted herself accordingly in response. Another scent soon clouded her nose as Gabe approached from the side, and she gave him a short growl to remind him to stay silent; issues of diplomacy were those better handled by women. I am Kalika of Nereides, an ambassador of the ranks. I believe we have met another of your pack; Wildfire, correct? A kind smile fell onto her maw, creating a smooth atmosphere where she stood, though her heart raced a mile a minute until her eyes landed on the familiar Tiragatao, to whom she nodded a greeting.
