Corbie and Ren trotted companionably side by side as they finally made their way to one of the other remaining packs that had supported Kotori's bid for the pack that she had ultimately laid claim to. She had begun this journey some time ago but had gotten distracted by the mysterious happenings and had failed to complete her task. Now that autumn had come for real and things had calmed down, she and her companions had set out again. Coming up to the border, she considered it, then raised her muzzle to call for the pack's alpha. She didn't know this alpha on a personal level, but given Azure Fatalis' neutrality towards her despite his brother's loss to her challenge, she was less wary than she'd have been if she had not visited Armada first of Kotori's supporters. She set her packs beside her for freer movement if needed, though, but did not open them. She'd brought samples in them. Tanned lambskins, sheepskins, mead. They'd stay in the pack, hidden, unless she judged it suitable to offer them.
