[Pack claim]Can't break our spirit so easy

Kina followed after her father, a pale and quiet shadow eager to learn, curious to see what a pack challenge was like. Most of her world had been insulated inside Tojo but now was time to start branching out. Soon she would approach her third season.  With the coming of the next spring she would be a yearling. It seemed there was so much for her to know and so little time to learn it all.

She settled in quietly next to her father, gazing about the crowd, noting the areas of tension before turning her focus on the fighters. It seemed it was not uncommon for wolves of all areas and allegiances to join these affairs. She made note of that as well as the maneuvers the two combatants used. Kina felt her stomach flip a little as she pondered the nature of pack challenges. It seemed a natural part of the order of the world but it did make her wonder what would happen if Tojo was ever challenged. Not that she thought her father could lose but if he did… if he should fall. Her eyes narrowed, her head lifting just slightly as her posture straightened. Kina knew there was much she needed to prepare for. If for some reason her father fell to a challenger she needed to be ready to pick up the pieces, to reclaim Tojo.  This was a vital learning experience and she watched the fighters all the more intently. Her egret settled beside her, watching instead the crowd.
