Anann lingered at the back of the congregation with Anatoliy at her side as they all listened to Vigilante speak. Sitting back on the haunches of her large secui frame. Her eyes did not wander the crowd of her gathered packs as they typically did at such an occasion. Instead she sat quietly, her gaze low and often staring at the ground before her. She had not known the news about Mysterious, but it came as no surprise. She had had her own encounter with the foul little terrier, but in her case he had been wise enough to back off his advances after a warning and bared fangs when his hands had threatened to linger too close for her comfort. A lesson that was obviously too soon forgotten. Then there was the announcement of Keese's death. Anann held her breath at his name, worrying about what more Vigilante might say on the matter and it was released in a quiet sigh of relief as he quickly went on to further topics. Still she felt the eyes of others on her and her head hung lower. Thick legs no longer bandaged, but the marks left behind were still visible. Naked of all fur were the ropes had rested. She paid little mind to the change in ranks, doubting her own role in the pack would be changed any by it. Although she did look up to Strelein and gave the unusual male a soft smile and nod of approval in acknowledgment to his promotion.
