Zalen watched as the wolf tensed nervously when he spoke, and as he focused on Zalen his body posture showed the black wolf that he was of no thread. Zalen relaxed somewhat, and he walked up to the young male, assuming a dominant stance subconsciously, and sniffed him thoroughly; he seemed to be in decent shape, Zalen could smell that he had eaten recently, and he was not of a pack. Most likely just passing through.
Zalen relaxed even more and even wagged his tail a bit, trying to ease the boy’s mind, It’s alright, we’re just outside it, no harm done. Zalen was quick to forgive, for the more he learned about his land the more he believed that friends were something to be cultivated and earned, and one could not expect to make friends by being cruel to strangers.
Zalen rubbed his head gently against the young male’s jaw, a sign of companionship; he was surprising himself today, acting in a fashion that was so… so… natural. It felt good. He wondered if this behavior would scare the stranger off, for it seemed to be few and far between in the modern day interactions of the Luperci, something which bothered Zalen to his very soul.
