These hooves tread softly

NPC companion: Gvwalodi (male 100% coyote)
LOOK AVATAR


She said nothing as he explained, having trouble understanding his broken words. Ears shuddered in confusion, and her tail stilled completely. For a moment, only the horses moved, as one of them made a sharp breath. Gvwalodi's reactions were less subtle, though, and he stared at the male in disbelief. Instinctively, Ulilohi did not believe the pale wolf. They have got it wrong - they had rebelled against the Great Tribe. Maska would not go to war for nothing, Ulilohi trusted in the title of councilman, and the judgment of Chief Aatu. But.. he had cast out a Utina? While Ulilohi did not know the wolves in question, that had come here, she did know of their families. Ulilohi had taken care to get to know the history of her tribe. Regardless of whether this view was the right one or not, this was discouraging news. Gvwalodi felt it too, and she considered for a moment simply attacking the stuttering male and using him as leverage. If he was the leader... But no - it would do her no good. Still, this welcome was not what she had hoped for.

It was to be expected that as soon as they realized her position (perhaps not this wolf, but certainly the occupying leaders), she would be able to do nothing. This was the picture that was painted, that she would become a prisoner now, as soon as they saw that she was not on their side. The occupants had clearly not understood AniWayan ways - were there no trustworthy neighbors in this world? Wherever they went luperci would cut them down, and if it was not them it was the elements or sickness. Nowhere could AniWayans simply live and prosper and be peaceful on their own. Always this pathetic killing - Ulilohi wondered if the world ever tired of robbing them of what they tried so desperately to maintain.

She remained silent after the pale male called for a leader, and she said nothing as another male approached them. She glanced every now and then at her companion, mostly to make sure he wasn't acting on the nervousness he felt. It was obvious in him - he was shifting his weight from one foot to the other constantly. Just by appearance, the second male seemed a lot more able - he did not glance at the horses like the pale one. Silently, Ulilohi waited for the stuttering wolf to explain their situation to the new arrival, and then... Well, she couldn't know, could she.
