Her eyes closed in thanks and her head tipped to the left, ears pulled back to half-staff. Now that her full attention was tacked to the male, and she was fully aware he was of higher rank, it was respect for her to show a bit of submission, though not the extreme measures she had when seeking to join Sangi'lak. She was learning the ways of the wolf. Perhaps her bloody experience had happened for a reason, and she was better formed to find answers and survival techniques on her own. Just maybe...

Though it didn't feel that way. Lyris still found it unfair by mother nature to set that bear loose. To destroy her and her only loving family. Now she had to start fresh. All over again, like a new pup fresh out of the den...

Truly, she was confused and afraid. All of these strange wolves. All of these new smells. All of these new feelings. What was she supposed to do? She wished she still had a mother to go to for advice... or a brother to pester when bored. Her brother. Oh, he had been annoying, but she missed him. His playful bark, the laugh in his eyes...

The rabbit was becoming heavier as rain continued to pour. It was only growing worse- they were in for a full-fledged hurricane, and did not yet know the destruction that would come. They must find high ground, and soon. Her meager offering didn't seem like enough to bring back. What could she do? True, she was not fully Luperci. Fully... The young one was completely unaware of the new presence pumping through her veins. Soon, it would be straining, a savage beast desperate to break free...

The meager rabbit fell to the wet earth with a gentle ker-plomp! Lyris placed a dainty paw over it's body and moved her small physique of it's, trying to shelter it from the worst of the rain. This catch was losing its value quickly. Soggy and skinny... "Yes. There had not yet been anything collected." She glanced down at the drenched clump of fur at her toes. "And it still seems there has not been..." The mumble barely passed her lips, and she was unsure wether X'ies would hear her in this downpour. She didn't care anyway, there was no way for her to make another catch in this quickly-developing disaster. She may be able to carry another morsel, but the one she had found was a miracle nevertheless. Almost surely all other sane beings would be hiding away and looking for shelter, as they should be. So far, Lyris was a failure to the pack in her own eyes. Nearly a week of membership and only a soggy rabbit to offer? Disgusting.
