The timber wolf hadn't been doing much that particular day. He had gone off in search of food, which consisted of his odd favorite, rabbit, taken a short nap, and decided to roam the lands of his pack for the remainder of the day. There wasn't anything else on his to-do list, anyway, and you never know when an adventure would come along...
A prime example was a few minutes later, when Rivers first heard the howl. It was loud, and a bit echoing from the distance, but the male knew instantly that he had better go and check it out. If someone was hurt, he wasn't going to be flat-out inhumane—he would help them, like any good person. Rising from the ground, which he had been sleeplessly resting on for an hour or so, he set out for the cry, curious and relatively ready for whatever the source was.
It was only until after he left for the howl he realized it was not just one singular cry, but rather two. Rivers hadn't really noticed that earlier, but that meant if one was injured, the other was likely to be hurt as well. Or perhaps one was just in need of assistance to help the other out. Whatever the case, it made the Luperci pick up his pace until he reached the source. A girl and a fox. More specifically, a rather pretty girl with a rosary and black, curly locks and... an Artic fox, perhaps? Nonetheless, neither seemed to be in physical pain, which was good.
Clearing his throat, Rivers took a few slow steps forward, careful to keep the girl's personal space in mind, but close enough to have a decent conversation. "Pardon me, miss, but you're mighty near Anatheman borders. Can I help you with somethin'?" he asked, his hand resting on his side as the other rested on the back of his neck. He offered a smile, but not one of scornfulness by any means. It was rather warm and genuine, as he wanted to help the girl out if there was a problem she needed to fix.
