The wolves began to trail in, answering Newt's call to arms. One by one they came to settle in. His interest was piqued, and his anxious green gaze strayed from one wolf to the other. The feminine creature remained placed near Newt, his small body pressed delicately against the earth. One of the larger females -- a massive black wolf who's face seemed as though it had been used as a scratching post -- settled near Newt, whispering something in her ear. Before long another massive black brute settled on his master's other side. His eyes widened a bit, taking in their size silently. They seemed very much like a trio, standing there confidently before the pack, staring the group down. Newt encouraged him to bathe in the stream he had been gazing at so fondly, but he stayed silent and still as she began to speak. He was enraptured by the strange woman, unable to draw his gaze away from her.

She explained how he had taken control of the pack -- she'd killed the former Queen! Domovei stifled a gentle cackle, unsurprised at the way in which Newt had grown to power. Her intensity was obvious and appealing and kept him grounded, when his mind threatened to collapse upon itself.

She finished her speech by requesting they comment on the structure of the pack, on its future. Domovei had nothing to add, no questions or comments to throw in. He was well aware he had no rank, no duties -- he was to answer to Newt when she called, and do what she demanded of him. The role was not entirely familiar; rather he was satiated with the lack of control, the complete loss of power he had suffered at her hands.

One female seemed less impressed by the speech -- a small, tawny girl -- who had entered the speech halfway through. Green eyes danced over her with fierce interest, observing her shoulder, damaged as his own was. Her attitude was peculiar; was she perhaps a slave, as well? Had she gone willingly, like he, or had she put up a fight? He only dared look at her for a moment with wide eyes, before he returned his gaze to Newt, eagerly awaiting what the others might say.
