Eris is by Kiri, a gift from Sylvey!
The dark-furred woman stood with her arms crossed, glaring at a trembling Molcaxitl. The slave had committed no particular wrong-doing, but on occasion, Eris simply enjoyed the feeling of absolute power -- she had been reminded lately, all too frequently, how limited her power truly was. Those outside of Salsola did not necessarily respect it, and their attackers certainly did not respect it. Still, what complaint could she make? Salsola had broken every attack they'd faced thus far. She had every reason to be proud of her canines. This still did not negate the fact that there were those out there who wished her Salsola harm. The sable Auxiliary honestly could not begin to fathom why.
She looked back toward Molcaxitl after a moment and smiled faintly. No matter, that's not your fault. The dark-furred hybrid's grin broadened as the relief spread across the slave-woman's face. Her attentions were drawn from her companion, however, as another presence made itself known. Eris turned, shining green eyes perceiving Tlantli and widening with surprise. Tlantli, the woman greeted, though she did not step forward to deliver the customary greeting. Surprised as she was, cool composure came quickly to Eris -- here was a subordinate, and Tlantli certainly knew it -- the woman's lowered ears and averted eyes were sign enough of this.
