Along the Ledge

She had been listening as the silence stretched on. It was honestly so quiet here that when the call of a bird rang out she startled slightly. Her companions were quick to come running to her side. Alma, her mouse lemur was quick to cling to her throat to hide from the bird and Basil, her squirrel monkey was quick to seat himself between her legs. Tana scented for anything but found nothing but sulfur in the air. Basil and alma could see though and Alma was ready when the Male called out sending tana to startle and lower herself more than she already was. Her ears pinned as alma ran her fingers through tana's fur trying to keep the woman calm. Basil came to the front and stood on his hind legs with his chattering a warning to the Male.

They'd been trying to convince tana she needed to move on and find somewhere she could at least find proper carrion. She'd refused though. "That's far enough stranger." Basil was firm in his words and at least it gave tana a direction to turn her head. She gave a stiff nod to the Male to answer his question. Was he a praetor? She had hope for the moment that she hadn't been completely forgotten. Though alma quickly smashed that with a whisper in her ear. "Male, large, smells like a pack and definitely not praetor." Tana stayed silent aware that it wasnt her place to speak unless she was asked a question that couldn't be answered with a nod or shake of her head. Submission would easily be given to this Male for certain. Not that she wouldn't give it to any other wolf anyway.

"Talk."
