Araxina leads her new pet away from the mines and northward. The smell of decaying bodies would hit them before a line of discarded half-rotten prey, predators, and wolves came into view. Araxina would lead Jiro through the line, hardly acknowledging it or turning her nose at it. A fact of life for her, every pack marked their borders like this, didn't they?

As she crossed the border she called out high and loud. Namely for one of her parents but if someone of higher rank wanted to see what she brought the pup wouldn't mind at all!

As they came within a more comfortable spot within the borders, Xina plopped on her rump and ran a back foot over an itch behind her ear.

"All right Freckles," She started, one eye squinting against the feeling of the itch getting scratched, "First rule, no calling me princess within earshot of anyone else around here. You can call me that when it's just us though." She sent him a teasing smirk before she shook her fur out with a full body shake.

"Second rule-" She started, proceeding to groom her fur into a luxurious shine, "Well really it's the first-first rule-" She muttered to him, "everybody here outranks you now, but above all don't piss off anyone who's even remotely purple. Respect the Saxe name and maybe you'll keep your pretty hide on your body, or you might join some old friends at the border." She flared her firey fur with a shake of her head, ready to present herself and her very own Sidi to whoever came to assist her in solidifying her claim, hopefully, a parent. She was especially excited to see the look on Dracun's and Zagan's faces when they learned of her feat.
