Eris is by Kiri, a gift from Sylvey!
She stole away from her children, moving toward the coastline and the initial sounds of alarm. She did not wish to draw any attention to her children, and she thought at least a few Salsolians still lurked nearby. No doubt they would keep close eye on her children, and Eris thought Molcaxitl would buy her enough time to return to her children, in any case. The snow crunched beneath her feet, and she tilted her head into the wind and inhaled, smelling the distant scents of Tlantli, Salvia, Miqui, Yi, and strangers -- although, perhaps not all of them. The hybrid inhaled again, more deeply this time. It was too far away to tell -- she'd have to move closer, and perhaps even set her eyes upon these intruders to identify them. She lifted a foot and froze mid-step as a voice called to her by name.
The coyote turned, teeth already bared and chartreuse eyes blazing. There was no confusion on her face as she saw Tayui; the woman's reasoning for being here was of little concern to Eris. She simply knew the other for an intruder and a trespasser now -- the pale woman had left their midst abruptly, and she was no longer welcome here. You're not supposed to be here anymore, she snapped, advancing toward the other canine, who now stood between her and her children. Leave now, and you can live, so long as you avoid our hunters, she commanded, her hackles bristling with the rise of her tail.
