Black lips curled backwards from their gums revealing an impressive set of teeth as a strange canine burst into the hollow and the scent of Inferni flooded Regner's nostrils. Quick as lightening his muscles tensed, mind racing as he looked to see if Inferni had decided that arguments with two of its border guards was not something that one would walk away from.
But the stranger showed no signs of aggression, in-fact they seemed unaware of his presence until they had entered the hollow, and the scent of Inferni only clung weakly to their fur, faint enough that he had only picked it up through paranoia. This was evidently a newcomer to the coyote pack, not somebody that would be sent out for a revenge killing so Regner lowered his hackles and covered his teeth, coppery eyes gazing at the woman with a less hostile but still intense gaze as he tried to measure her with eyes alone.
The stranger was, typically of Inferni, a coyote hybrid. Like many of her kind she stood much smaller and lighter than himself. If Regner was a younger canine, and less biased against coyote, he might have considered her beautiful with her lithe figure and long flowing mane, but those instincts were long dead and he viewed her physical characteristics in other lights now; her lithe figure meant he could hopefully overpower her if need be, her mane a liability and easy target in a grapple.
Still there was no need for the situation to get violent, indeed the stranger seemed amiable, if angry towards the weather which he could sympathise with, especially considering how unsuited to cold weather the stranger looked.When Regner opened his mouth his voice was gravelly but not aggressive, " Tag det roligt, it is no worry. Please, sit" Regners words were halting, showing his inexperience with the English language, but polite and he motioned to a small spot besides him where his own body had blocked the snow from accumulating.
As he did so there was a wriggling from inside the cloak and Adelle popped her head out to gaze at the stranger in the hollow, one of Regner's spare pipes clenched in the small puppy's mouth in an imitation of her grandfather. Evidently Adelle had wormed her way into one of the cloaks inside pockets and then poked her head through an unrepaired rip within.
The sight caused Regner to stop dead for a few moments before he raised his head and let a load bark of laughter loose from his lips, powerful lungs propelling the loud sound around the burrow and startling Adelle who dropped the pipe and yipped unhappily at Regner before returning her gaze to the stranger, her tongue dangling out of her mouth. "That is my granddaughter, Adelle. I am Regner, Betydning of the Broderskab pack." The introduction of himself was slightly pompous and also outdated considering the packs fate but his title was a source of pride to Regner and was one he would hang on to for as long as possible. His piece said and his introduction complete he lowered his head back onto his paws and waited for the stranger to respond.
