Eris is by me!

Eris had no answer to give, even if Tlantli had wanted it. She listened with pricked ears, her anger turning slowly to intent and then sudden sourness across her tongue, regret and shame flooding her as she realized her errors. Here was one who might have given her good counsel, strength and aid, loyalty and perhaps even love, if Eris had been patient enough to coax it from her. The dark-furred woman gaped at the tawny woman, trying to keep her face masked and indifferent. Her efforts might or might not have been successful -- the tawny hued coywolf merely smiled, inclining her sharply-lined head toward the dark woman once more.

Then, she turned and walked away. Where, Eris did not know -- she supposed the woman's eventual destination was Eterne, but long months and miles separated Eterne and Tlantli. Maybe it was a ruse, and the dust-hued woman intended to slip away into one of the other packs. As the woman departed, the dark-hued woman could only stand in her place, a faint tremble running through her. The full extent of her folly had yet to dawn on her -- surely, as she spent weeks dissecting this encounter and the weeks and months preceding it, running it all over in her mind, she would discover the true depth of her errors. Or, perhaps not.
