Early morning. PP approved by Kitty beforehand. ♥ For Shaw's baby girl.

Being an Anzu was weird. He'd taken a moment away from Alaki and the kids to visit Naniko, who had suggested he start working now that he was settled in. She'd mentioned the Anzu rank and it had seemed to be the best rank for him, despite how he'd considered being a pupsitter too. His tier had been chosen, so now he was due for a check-in at AniWaya, the pack most known to keep animals. It made perfect sense.

What didn't make sense was how much effort he'd put into convincing Alaki to come along. It probably didn't help that he'd woken the poor guy early in the morning with excited babble about going to visit another pack. Key had complained at first, but after some more excited babble and some 'pretty please' and a rather adorable puppy-eyes face, he'd convinced the older male to come along.

After packing some jerky for a snack, a flask of water and of course, Carissa (who'd refused to stay behind, much to Matteo's dismay), they left. It was still early in the morning by the time the two had left the territory, but despite the time and chill in the air, Matteo was still bouncing. He'd never had the chance to visit another pack before, especially without Giuseppe to tag along beside him. This was a new adventure.

At some point, he'd grabbed hold of Alaki's arm, refusing to let go despite how suggestive it might've looked. Do you think they'll have horses? Maybe I could work out a trade for one. I could learn to ride it and it would make it so much easier to go places.. He babbled on. He'd slipped into Italian a few times during the walk, but now he was speaking English just fine.

They reached the borders in good time and by that time, Matteo had quieted down, his excitement turning to nerves instead. He pulled Alaki to a stop a good few feet away from the main borders, ears pinned back. What now? Do we just howl or something? He glanced up at Alaki, confusion and shyness written all over his face. He'd obviously forgotten that this would involve meeting new people.

In the bag that Teo carried, Carissa poked her head out, a piece of jerky dangling from her jaws. She looked around the area, squeaking her displeasure at not being allowed to roam and explore. Teo paid no mind for once, only reacting when she climbed out of the bag and up onto his shoulder.
