OOC: hope you don't mind me jumping in
Jiva had been out near the den, though not too close as to make the leaders or any of his pack members nervous. Tobias was not a wolf and therefore not allowed in the den, though he roosted high up in the trees quite happily and comfortably. Jiva wanted to do a little training with the hawk before settling himself down. He was not normally in his optime form, but to train the bird it was something he felt he should do, after all it was the only way he had learned how from his father, and in turn the only way the bird learned from Niro. Jiva was teaching hte bird to come to barks and growls rather than the piercing whistles his father had taught the animal. He would make a bark to send the bird away, and then a short yip to bring him back.
He was in the middle of doing this when a woman caught his eye, she was as dark as Zalen but looked older, and she held authority to herself so he stopped what he was doing and knelt on his knees and lowered his head. If he were in his lupus form he would have rolled over. He was getting use to showing those above him their dominance over him. His only problem was he was in the middle of training and Tobias was coming at the young man’s arm and missed entirely falling not so gracefully to the ground. The bird got to his feet and shook his feathers back in place and gave Jiva a very unhappy look, but he hopped to where he could glide up to the young man’s shoulder and settled himself there. The redtailed hawk then preceeded to look straight at Soran. It was his way of figuring the woman out, his one eye looking at her as his head constantly moved to keep her in focus.
