Geneva's ears swiveled slightly as the male lowered himself, not meeting her eyes. She was glad of this show - it told her that the male meant her - and more importantly the pack - no harm. But still she found it hard to believe that after so little time with the pack she would have attained a status that would cause others to do such a thing. She had recently been promoted to Sergeant, an honor she held quite close to her heart. She was very proud of her home and glad that Naniko trusted her enough to do such a thing.
Still, the situation at hand made her a little uncomfortable. In her mind, she didn't feel any different than the most other wolves. Although she definitely felt in synch with the rest of the pack, part of the family indefinitely, she didn't feel authoritative on any level. At heart, she was truly submissive. But she did her best not to let it show.
At the mention of Naniko, she brightened. A small smile stretched her mouth. "Sir, please relax," she said, although her eyes still traced him with a mixture of welcome, curiosity, and wariness. My name is Geneva Stockholm. What is yours? And how do you know Naniko?" she said. "She's fine," she added, because although she knew that the Commander had broken a rib, it wasn't good to reveal any sort of weakness to the outside world.
