[html]ooc;; hello and welcome to 'souls. i hope you have a wonderful time here! <333
Creamy white paws moved with swift grace of the earth. The young male was back in his element once more, practised emerald gaze cutting swathes from the lands to try and gouge intruders or trespassers in his beloved Dahlia. Conor never set official border patrols but the higher ranked wolves within the peaceful pack usually took it in turns to take one compass point of the borders. Nayru almost always took the eastern partition of the lands due to her proxomity to the invisible boundaries whilst Conor and Saul usually took the western sides. Most wolves looking to gain access to Dahlia came from the west, from over the mountains and approaching from that way. It was simpler than looping round and coming through the Ethereal Eclipse and maybe catchin Cercatori instead of Dahlia. So as Saul moved out of the vicinity of his new home, intending to follow the river up to Whisper Beach for his first post of the day, he was on high alert.
He and Siku had moved into the large cabin he'd built for long and sloggish months only three days before and they wer beginning to get used to having no furnshings. Or at least Saul was- Siku had never had a house in the first place and had previously slept outside. But they had promised each other that they would build it up, make it a proper house inside as well as out. He was glad his family had turned up although he was very worred about Gideon. The male had suffered some serious injury and he couldnt explain them. Saul's medically wired brain sought for remedies that would cure him, but the damage was already done. Saul didnt know what to do for his younger brother.
So immersed in his thoughts on the current state of his family, Saul didnt at first register the muted howl that rang through the early spring afternoon. It hit him like a soft slap to the face and he shook the cobwebs from his mind before kicking some speed up. As usual the man had remained in his lupus form from this mornings run and he decided to keep it that way. If the animal at the border was non-luperci then it might scare them away. Better to approach in a form that was universally recognisable. Green eyes caught the form of a mostly copper hued wolf standing close to the borders. He slowed to a trot, ears pricking forward, tail high to show dominance. Whilst a friendly glint held in his eyes and a small smile had turned his lips upward, there was still the separation between the two animals. "You have reached the borders of Dahlia de Mai. How may I help you?" Was the standard greeting that came from the timber males lips, eyes friendly and welcoming. Perhaps another new member for their ranks.
