The second litter of the Aagwatz pack has been announced -- and rather boldly. Ehv:xarohi (the top wolf, with the red mask) strode into the main mine and declared -- not asking, declaring -- that she was not only bonded to Ehxlk'ov (the brown wolf), but they were already expecting a litter. Considering that Hazrohi and T’ehlioo’s litter had just weaned, the two were cutting it rather close.
The rash action got both of them demoted from their positions; Ehxlk'ov lost his standing as head of a hunting team, and Ehv:xarohi was rotated into the hunting team that stays within the mountain range. Since they didn’t make the announcement during the winter, there wasn’t anything done beyond that. ( Ehv:xarohi would later feel drawn to a large chamber in the mines, though -- a strange place with a dark stone slab. A room that stunk of blood, with small bones gathered in organized mounds about its edges. When she listened, she could almost hear -- squealing. Chanting? It made her feel a chattering deepbone fear, despite her rash and headstrong nature. )
