Puppy brawl
08-06-2024, 01:10 AM
Odierne had been "wrestling" with Nox when the call had gone up. Hard to call it wrestling when he just seemed to let her lay on him, didn't even protest too much when she'd gnawed on his ear. The girl had glanced at her mother who'd been watching her children dispassionately, seemingly more daydreaming than actively watching. With a roll of her eyes and a shooting gesture with her paw Desponia had given her children the go-ahead to answer the call if they wished. Odierne had only been too happy to leave her wimp of a brother behind. The girl was wary of the rest of her family. Desponia had never been shy about her feelings about them and Odierne had no reason to doubt her mother's judgement... But she'd also not yet had contact with any of them. Some of her siblings had but Odierne had kept more to herself up until now. If pressed on it she'd had said it was because she'd wanted to see how they measured up, but there was probably also a dash of healthy child-like curiosity there too. So the girl arrived promptly to the area her uncle (half-uncle?) had called for them. Not even yet 6 months old Odierne couldn't quite measure up to most adults yet but she'd soon be outstripping shorter grown wolves and even young as she was there was little enough puppy fat left, her build quickly starting to show the years of selective breeding generations back in her lineage. Beasts bred for aggression, for protection, for hunting and subduing. Odierne didn't quite know yet what being a mutt even was but it would have been obvious to anyone who did what she was. Purple gaze swept over the only two other wolves there currently. A man she assumed was her uncle and a boy, older than herself and already quite tall. Odierne narrowed her eyes and decided to sit a bit back from the boy. She came by her standoffishness naturally. But she'd also been much more prompt than her mother ever was... So there was that.
