Cera listened to Topaz's story with a blank face, but internally was drinking in every word. The auburn she-wolf explained that curiosity was her greatest weakness, and that she couldn't resist the sound of the pack's growling.
Oh, was that all that made you want to come here? Cera wanted to ask to prompt Topaz into admitting that she wanted dominance in this pack. The dark-furred wolf shook her head slightly, taking note of Topaz's steady and unsure voice.
"Alright then. I hope you find good fortune here," Cera forced out, she had no idea why she was acting so kind when there was a rivalry bound to form. Silver eyes narrowed at the unfamiliar scent of wolf. Her ears perked at the sound of pounding paws and rustling leaves as they made way for whoever had just ran.
"Loner!" She barked with anger. The beta was getting sick of all these tresspassers. She got to her paws and went in front of a group of wolves that were trailing the intruder. Secretly, she was glad for the distraction.
Serpe hung back with Eternity and Topaz, thinking that the pack could deal with the situation themselves. Crimson eyes found their way to Topaz,
"You know, you can have a bite too if you like." He said calmly, knawing on a bone of the elk leg he had just eaten. "So... You and Cera fighting or somethin'? I've never seen her that mad."
