Taja entered slowly, cautiously. She kept her head low, glassy amber eyes darting in all directions, her nose working hard to decipher all the smells.

She laid down, putting herself low, waiting for a dominant pack member to greet her

Meat

Meat was in a good mood today. Nobody was bothering them and new members were coming quickly. He strode proudly through his territory, eventually seeing Taja there, looking like she was waiting for something. The Anatolian Shepherd walked briskly toward this strange wolf and greeted her. "Ah, I see you have found us, the Dark Brotherhood. I am Meat, the Listener. And you are..." He paused, watching Taja with a careful, judging eye.

She closed her eyes tightly as he approached, almost flinching as he came closer and closer. She waited a couple minutes before flickering open her bright reddish eyes and directing them to the taller dog. Slowly she rose to her feet, she did not stand very tall, shorter than him for sure. Her form slouchy, attempting to display her obedience, her submission.

"I'm Taja..." She exhaled, shaking her herself free of tension, her floppy pale fur ruffling and cascading over her haunches before she smoothly sat down, casting her tail aside.

She leaned forward, hesitant at first but then she became fairly sure he wasn't going to lunge out and bite her. Her black nose touching the edge of his moist under-lip, sniffing gently as she did so. She drew back after fulfilling her curiosity, drawing back to look at him with inquisitive glowing eyes.
