Rarely, if ever, did Tae try to act respectfully. One day she would be the ruler of these lands, and so the idea that she was already worth respecting had become improperly ingrained into her mind. However, that pompous attitude completely deflated when she was around her Father and the warriors. Regardless of who was in power, they always deserved respect. The girl could see it, feel it, despite her young age. They would be the ones who would one day accompanying her into battle, and until that day, it would be with them that she trained.
But of course, she was far too young to be having thoughts such as these.
Her legs were still spindly, the length of her tail hair hardly longer than her tailbone. Tae's dark ears were large and fuzzy, and her chest barely bubbled out at all - there were precious few muscles even beginning to form, much less ones which were fully developed.
"Seestra-" She whispered to Grusha, nudging her twins shoulder and nosing towards where their father, Einarr and Nizho stood. With her wings tightly folded against her small flanks, Tae trotted over. Her pale eyes were focused upon the boy, but then quickly darted up to Einarr, and finally to her father to confirm that she and Grusha could interrupt the meeting.
"Lajaks-" She offered, a mischievous smile playing on her lips as she named the young (though a great deal older than her) boy one of the warriors as well. And then, because he earned a special respect in her mind, she nodded her head respectfully towards Gaucho. "Khal."
A small black wolf pup appeared, arrived, and then crumpled against Tae's legs. Mal panted in the evening heat, enjoying the use of Tae's heavily barred legs as a way to prop himself up with little to no effort. The girl lowered her mandible-marked face and nipped the pup affectionately on the scruff of his neck, before raising her ghostly gaze to Nizho.
Will we be friends? she wondered silently as her gaze scoped out the boy's figure, or enemies?
