On Earth as it is in Heaven [CHALLENGE]

Aerndis soaked in the events like a sponge, a very full sponge. There was just so much going on and so many wolves with complicated relationships that she could barely glean from the chaos around her. She settled down with the haunch of the deer leg between her paws as she ripped into the flesh and began to snack. Normally she wouldn't have dared such a think with so many wolves. However, she was confident they were all far to distracted with the going on's to worry about stealing her food and besides, with the mass of her family around her she doubted anyone would mess with them.

She focused on scents, trying to tie which wolves belonged to the same pack. Chewing thoughtfully on a piece of gristle her eyes were drawn immediately to a black and white woman with a blue feather in her fur who came blazing onto the seen like a wild fire. Her fury was palpable and as Aerndis turned to see one of the men she was addressing had the Imperialis eye dots! Strange, he smelt of a different pack though. Maybe he wasn't family despite the marking. That could certainly be. A few patches of colored fur did not denote a family tie and she knew Ash was her uncle and he didn't have the dots. Aerndis glanced at her grandfather but decided to ask about it later.

Her gaze was drawn next to three pups from another pack. She wondered what they were doing here but she was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts as someone addressed her.

"I don't suppose I get to share in the snack too, eh?"

Aerndis turned to see one of the other star wolves with the tell tale eye-markings of her family. She grinned and shifted slight to the side. "Sure, dig in! I brought this to share though I didn't realize so many wolves would be here or that our family was so big." The girl introduced herself as Lyra. "My name is Aerndis, I didn't expect to meet someone who looks so much like me either." She was excited about the prospect of having someone closer to her age to hang out with that wasn't her brothers. They were all well and good but they were boys. Boys had a special drive to be extra annoying.

Valentine made a comment that caused Lyra to stare at him in shock and Aerndis also turned to focus on her grandfather but the nuance of his comment was lost on her. He stated that the strange male with the eyedots, Rhyme she presumed, was sleeping with the feather lady, Shaye. She didn't understand the big deal but with Lyra's exclamation of ew… and then, wait, what. Incest? "Huh? What do you mean by incest? Who are those two?" She wondered why the man wasn't with his family, was this perhaps the reason he wasn't? Had he been cut off or banished or something?

Her nose wrinkled a bit as the man for whom the challenge had been called showed up covered in guts. She wasn't terribly put off by the smell but then she'd lived an early desperate life. Anything, anything could be food if you were hungry enough. She'd eaten from the corpse of just about everything, including bears, that she could find. She had no qualms about scavenging from kills or the unfortunate fates of other animals if it meant her survival.

Her attention quickly shifted to the fights. The caller, some religious nut, was fighting the scabby guy and two other wolves were getting into it. She didn't know which she wanted to focus on. She dipped her head to snag another morsel before turning her attention back to the battles.
