Ciara had been intently, though politely, staring the stranger down and waiting for her to answer. The Epsilon’s nose was twitching constantly as she tried to determine that other trace in her blood, while earthen eyes looked over the silver female’s form. The stranger appeared to be in good health with a strong form, and no distinguishing marks or visible injuries. It appeared that she’d be a strong addition to the pack and likely had much to offer. Perhaps she’d even do well as a mate for one of the many unmated males in New Dawn. While this should have worried Ciara, as the presence of a threat, the Epsilon was not concerned for her own reasons.
She had smelled the Alphess arriving even before the cinnamon female bumped shoulders with her, and she relaxed the posture of her ears and head, insuring they were less erect and lower than Titania’s respectively. Her tail dropped below the Alphess’ as well, showing that while she respected Titania’s place as Alpha and the other female’s dominance over her, she still held rank over the newcomer. Ciara detected a trace of irritation in Titania’s demeanour, but she didn’t allow a frown to crease her features. She’d bring it up to the Alphess later.
As Fayne began to answer Ciara’s questions, Shadowfang arrived on the scene. The calico Epsilon’s eyes trailed to the hulking male, watching intently to make sure that his posture was appropriate. If not, she was sure that the Alphess would correct him. Then, Fayne completed her answer and Ciara gave a nod. She took a single step back so Fayne would now be closest to Titania, effectively handing the situation over to her Alphess. She would remain there in case she was needed, in case Fayne decided to harm the Alphess – something Ciara would quickly end her for. She was Epsilon now after all, a warrior for New Dawn, protector and provider for the pack.
