Watching in morbid fascination as Dax meted out his own punishment, Silva couldn't help but feel at least a little sorry for the jackal. Hekhem had at least showed some restraint when making his point at her expense, Dax seemed to spare nothing on his brutal assault. For a moment there, the silver wolf thought that Dax was just going to kill Hekhem right there, and the jackal must have come to the same conclusion.<br/><br/>Silva just nodded her head weakly when the Alpha told her she would be joining him that night. She was still healing, but she would be in decent shape before too long. She turned to face Hekhem as he admonished her, and she whined softly, his words stinging almost as much as his blows had.<br/><br/><em>You are right on the first one, Hekhem. I shouldn't have spoken for the Alpha. As for how I fight... I am a wolf! It's all I know! Maybe if you were sticking around instead of running away with your tail tucked between your legs, you could have had a chance to show me another way. You speak of honor and tradition, then you turn around and quit on your pack. So go, what do I care anyway? And beta... feck... whatever right back at you!</em><br/><br/>Hekhem's reaction had been at least somewhat expected, but she definitely hadn't seen Claire's coming. She looked after Claire as the other wolf ran after the jackal, she struggled to her paws as she tilted her head in confusion. She didn't really know the other female all that well, but she had kind of felt they could get along because they were both the newest members. But apparently Claire had chosen her lot and was leaving with Hekhem?<br/><br/>Turning to Dax and Roaen, she wondered if the three of the could make it by themselves. Were the other two really leaving? Everything was happening so fast and Silva was still in pain, although it was starting to lessen already as her body worked on healing itself.<em>What just happened?</em>she asked a little lamely.
