Cortianrri

The wolfess paced slowly between two branching oak trees. Her sharp, cunning eyes scythed about the land around her, looking for any pack members. She knew Ghost was gone, and she was ready to take lead of the pack. At least untill the rightful alphess returned, that is. To let everyone know of her assumed authority, Cortinarri sent forth an impressive howl, then sat back on her haunches to groom at her fur.

Pheral

The massive swine came forward cautiously, eyeing the wolfess and keeping on guard. "Where is Ghost?" Pheral asked at length, keeping her distance from Cortinarri. She hadn't met this wolf yet, but both of them carried the scent of the pack, so Pheral didn't bother to explain why she was here.

Hidden Betrayal

Hidden betrayal trotted forth her head down eyes level. The small pup stood next to Pheral not exactly trusting Cortainarri. Pheral was her 'friend' but she wasnt going to tell her that. She didnt like telling others when they were friends. You were either a friend or you werent. You always knew when you were a friend of Betrayals. If you werent you got attacked or killed. Protection for her friends.

Cortinarri

Cortinarri stood quickly, shifting slightly to the side so that her crippled ankle was out of sight. Turning her eyes from Hidden, she scoffed at Pheral, "I can't beleive she'd let such a thing into our home! But as it is, Ghost is away for the time being. And I am the alpha." The wolf perked her head up, gazing gloatingly to the swine. She knew that Pheral belonged to the pack, and she heard rumors of poisons that she kept on her skin, so the wolf wasn't about to attack her. Still, she let her displeasure be known.

Pheral

Pheral narrowed her eyes but held her tongue from any snide replies. Speaking as curtly as she could, the swine responded, "That's all I needed to know." She turned away from Cortinarri and looked to Hidden Betrayal, studying her for a moment. So far, most others had greeted her with bared fangs and hostile threats, and Pheral was beginning to question her 'status' in the pack. But it seemed this one, at least, was tolerating her. Maybe even a friend figure?

"Hello again, Hidden Betrayal." Pheral greeted in a friendly tone, completely ignoring the temporary 'alphess'. "What have you been up too lately?"

Hidden Betrayal

Dhr glared at Cortinarri and said in an arrogant tone "Just remember your place when Mama Ghost does come back" With that she turned to Pheral and said "Come on Aya. Let us be in peace of...Her." With that she trotted over to a large oak. She lay down waiting for pheral to join her before she began to speak. Her words were soft "Ive been trying to find my friend tupit....I cant find him anywhere though and it worries me."

Pheral

She followed after Hidden Betrayal, completely ignoring any remarks the temporary 'alpha' might throw their way. Pheral laid down as well, listening carefully to her friend's words. "I remember the young one's scent." The sow replied after a moment, "Perhaps I can help track him down? I don't have a giant nose for nothing." Pheral offered a smiling grin at her joke and waited to see what Hidden thought of the plan. Her sense of smell, like all other pigs, was exceptionally acute.

Hidden Betrayal

She thought for a moment then smiled "Cavan said he was at the breve ridges but I dont want to go their alone. He said that his sister was....Not very nice. Wanna go?"

She stood up waiting to see if her friend would come....If she didnt Hidden Betrayal would just go alone but if she did she would feel alot better and slightly safer with the large pig with her.

Pheral

She smiled, "Of course, I'll go with you." Pheral replied, "Lets see... they are the mountains to the eastern edge of the land, right? Yes, that must be right." Pheral decided, for she had done much exploring in the area and already came to know the landscape and area namings. "To the mountains! I should be able to pick up Tupit's scent there. And hopefully... that sister of his won't give us too much trouble." The sow said, grinning a bit, for she felt very confident in her abilities to fend off a single wolf.
