Dixie shifted into her optime form as Jazper talked to the pack, telling them about hunting and how they needed to work as one big team. The little white woman wasn’t used to working for anyone but herself and Wayne. However, she loved to learn and adapted pretty fast. Those who were now considered her friends would be well taken care of, at least to the best of her ability. Once she was fully shifted, she leaned against Wayne and smiled at the male leader. She really liked him and Anann, they were both no nonsense types, and while Dixie thought they could use a little fun, she knew they would be wonderful leaders.
When Wayne nudged her to speak up she shook her head and looked away, uncharacteristically embarrassed to be speaking in front of everyone in her new found pack. They all knew she was pretty much useless anyway, with her miniscule size and inability to focus on anything for long periods of time. A few of the other canines in the growing group moved forward and started tearing into the elk. Instead of joining them, she moved away and rested against a big tree, watching and thinking. Her baskets weren’t going to get much done at this point, as trapping little critters was great…but they didn’t provide much nutrition for the big luperci. Perhaps later on she’d try her hand at fishing with them, both in the river and in the bay that the pack pressed up against.
Her head tilted back and she looked at Jazper, studying his huge mammoth-like form, and then Anann, the large and beautiful female half of the leadership. Now those were two wolves that could really take care of business, unlike herself…the midget who was virtually a hindrance for the pack to have in the ranks.
