Days gone. But still, they were strong. Nothing had deterred the bodies of Tikal, and nothing yet would.

To @Kukulkaan, Sabah went to on this eve. A report was due. One of many things. Ajaw. First she greets him. Sabah sees things. As she saw all things. All of what she could, anyway. Yet she believed she had been given the gift to do so. To observe, to learn, to see. All to pass her knowledge to her ajaw.

Passers come. Few of which have yet to declare themselves. They would move on, most likely. Snow bear trains. Strong, willing, disciplined. As Sovereign had proven herself to be. Sisters work hard. For her sisters, she could speak. But on behalf of herself, she could not; for it was too self-righteous of a thing. Ajaw would see her work for himself, or he would not.

this one greets you, holcan. ajaw rumbles upon sabah's approach, forehead lowering to touch her's in their customary greeting of the holcans.

she comes to them bearing a report and they are silent, stalwart as she offers her words. what she has learned. what she has seen.

this one is pleased. though ajaw feels this goes without saying. you serve this one well.

He is pleased with this news. And though she does not come bearing simply for his approval, it is relief to know that her words and knowledge are not of wasted use.

Sabah lives to serve ajaw, She reminded him. For it was the truth. The reason for her being here.

this one knows. rumbles kukulkaan; low, meant to reassure.

a soft inhale, a shift of ajaw's weight in the sand. this one plans to visit our neighbors. invite them to seasons gift. be the diplomat king.

at this point, that ajaw intends this is no secret. now that tikal was almost 'official', ajaw was beginning to turn their focus towards the external.

Ajaw knows. This is all she can ask for.

The mention of his plans surprises her. Were they truly to let those nearby know of their presence here?

But who was Sabah to question it. If it was time, it was time.

Sabah glad to join. For if they would be making alliances, or possibly enemies, she wanted to see them for herself.

Though, maybe ajaw preferred her sisters as his company. If this be so, she would not argue. What she wished to know, she could learn later.

ajaw thinks of the pack woman that came to tikal's foundling borders and spat words at them in the tongue of the many ... without explination.

even still, her hostility — as far as ajaw can see — is unwarranted and left without explanation prickles at their curiosity.

this one will take the holcan in training, if she feels ready to the smaller pack to the south of tikal, for how else would she learn how ajaw expected diplomatic situations to be handled even without their presence if she was not taught?

but the pack to the north might cause this one more trouble. they are larger. this one would ask you to accompany.

To one, she would accompany. But as for the other, snow bear would go in her stead.

Sabah felt uneasy about this, and intended to voice it. Sabah apologize... but, Sabah feel easy if ajaw take sister holcan too. Even if snow bear was ready to take this next step in her training, Sabah would feel better to know that there was additional help in that of one of her sisters.

she disagrees.

ajaw ruminates upon her words; face stony but considerate.

ajaw listens, because she is holcan and they trust the holcan's judgement, trusts their council.

speak freely of the root of your unease to this one, encourages kukulkaan. is it the snowbear's presence? or the pack?

Ajaw says she may speak freely. But even so, she apologizes. 

Small pack... maybe great strength, Small or not, this pack he wished to travel to might still be stronger than expected. 

Sabah have faith in snow bear. But....—. There was no doubting their newest, but she was still that—new, and unknowing. 

Sabah want ajaw safe. She would not see him coming home harmed in any way.

sabah presents a truth that in ajaw's arrogance, they have overlooked. just because ajaw did not smell many in their direction did not mean they could not hold her own. did not mean they could not destroy.

a soft, thoughtful hum vibrates up ajaw's throat.

would you join this one and the snowbear, then? ajaw inquires with a flick of their doe-like tail.

seems like a good place to fade here? last from me, if so! :3

There were other holcan. But with ajaw's change of mind, he still chose her in their stead.

Part of her wanted to argue that he should take another. But then, hadn't she argued enough? Holcan were meant to be wise, yes... but also obedient. 

Nodding simply, she would agree to this. Sabah would accompany him when she was called for.

this one will find you when it is time to make the trips.

with that kukulkaan returns to their patrol, weighing possible scenarios and how this might turn the tide for tikal ( good or bad ) as the heart was weighed.
