The Devil In Stitches

A powerful call echoed through the land, echoing sharply in Xhen's perked ears. She had yet to meet the rulers of Tortuga, but hoped that Viri and Secret had made mention of her. Without hesitation the female directed herself toward the stranger's call, large paws hitting the earth with ferocity as she broke into a run, unwilling to be late to a meeting. At the least, she hoped the members of Tortuga would look upon her with an absence of dislike -- not expecting much more, by the way Secret had described the creatures to her. Rapists. Murderers. Outcasts.
As she drew near to the gathering, Xhen found a spot nearest to Viri to sit, though kept a respectable distance from all of the Tortugans. Her yellow eyes swept over the wolves, noting that they looked exactly as expected. The one who stood as Alpha was a rather large bitch ... certainly larger than herself ... and she regarded her with emotionless eyes, though nodded in simple greeting. A male about her own size stood near the Alpha female, a silver-furred brute. Most of the wolves were rather large, and she noted that not one single creature seemed to express anything like joy. The largest of the group, the Alpha, spoke, explaining things. She had one a spar against the former leader, taking his life; they were to remain neutral; the male at her side would lead; all were stripped of their former ranks. Most of it meant little to her, and she shifted on her paws as she waited. Even the wolves who commended her victory -- apparently her name was Desdemona -- showed little joy.
Attention suddenly shifted to the bird overhead, an ugly vulture that circled the gathering of wolves. Slight curiosity crept into her gaze as she averted it upwards to the creature, who was chanting some kind of nonsense rhyme. Or was it? Further reflection, as she perked her ears atop her large skull, revealed a surprising connection.. he seemed to be talking about Desdemona. Deception. Lies. Even vultures seemed more concerned about politics than she did! The revelation brought a slight smirk to her face, barely turning the corners of her dark lips up. The expression was fleeting, and disappeared before it was noticed at all.
