Eris is by Kiri!
Molcaxitl scrambled off with Omitl in her arms, and Eris stepped back to invite Hrafn into her home. She did not mind entertaining guests in this part of her ruins; the underground den dug at the rear part of the stone structure was her own home, reserved for her children alone, but this part was quite suitable for friends and packmates to see. She frowned at the locks of dark hair still scattered on the ground, shaking her head and uttering a low growl beneath her breath. Pardon the mess; it seems Molcaxitl does not know how to clean up after herself, the woman said, sniffing as she indicated the remnants of her haircut with a dismissive motion of her hand.
Her interest in Hrafn's offering showed, though she did not move to supply the word he sought, thinking it might be rude to interrupt him. Instead, she beamed encouragement at him, watching with increasing excitement as he revealed to her this gift. She could not keep her jaws from parting in an expression of surprise at the loveliness unsheathed there before her; the dark woman spent a long moment simply peering at the dark wood and its white swirl, regarding it with a look of utmost admiration and fascination. Oh, dearest Hrafn, she started at long last, her chartreuse gaze forced from the bow to the chocolate-furred countenance of her packmate. It's lovely.
I will call her Strife, for that is what she will bring to my enemies, the woman declared, reaching out to take the bow with fingers very near to trembling.
