Blacktail Deer Plateau oh, say you want my love tonight

Since Tuvak is inactive and Nieve wouldn't stick around just to be disrespected, she's gonna bounce!

It seemed the regard she'd shown the older pair by looking to them first despite the seeming threat was a little misplaced. While Huā seemed reasonable and made an effort to explain her side of things after Tuvak's outburst, which Nieve appreciated, Ying was positively rude. Nieve's blue eyes grew sharp on the steely she-wolf throughout her flagrant display, but the Zeta neither stood down nor rose to the bait. She didn't need to. Having been a loyal Rusalkan her entire life, she had the respect of the pack, something Ying would need to earn.

It became my concern when you threatened to hit a packmate, was the only thing she had to say about Ying's outburst. She chose to address Huā instead. He probably thinks you want to fight because you're talking about hitting him. This sounds like a misunderstanding. It might be best to c— but before she could finish and suggest that they all part ways to cool off, Tuvak stormed off with neither an apology nor any further argument. Nieve watched him go, then turned back to the pair.

Sorry, excuse me, she said, a sentiment directed mostly at Huā as she turned and left, maintaining her carefully crafted posture until she was well out of sight, where she sighed and deflated. It was truly unfortunate her sister had chosen to be belligerent, because Huā herself seemed decent, but Nieve would rather trail after the moody juvenile and try to calm his hot temper than spend time with someone who was outright rude to her.
