Null tossed the bare bones of her fish back into the river and licked her fingers clean. Rurik was already done, and the giant peered down at the runt as she yawned and stretched, before leaning over and shoving him playfully. He huffed at her but didn't push back, allowing her to lean her weight on him before she got restless again and lept to her feet. She stretched her arms high over her head, popping her shoulders and cracking her neck. She was considering play-pouncing at Rurik from behind when she spotted a stranger-- another Luperci, a hood hiding their face. Null sniffed; a female, her scent not of any pack as far as she knew. Null was still glad of her and Rurik's scent-hiding perfumes, as it wasn't good to reveal their Salsolan allegiance, even to a loner. Rurik smelled of cinnamon and hot spices, while Null smelled pleasantly of lavender. It was a far cry from the salt-marsh scent of Salsola.
The mottled-coated wolf darted back to be crouched by the huge black wolfdog, nudging him and gesturing to the stranger. He nodded and the pair watched her silently, body language guarded but not aggressive. Why was she hiding her face? Something about the strange canine made Null uneasy, but Rurik had no such reservations. He rose to his feet and offered a friendly wave to the girl.
What are you doing?! Null hissed, tugging at her friend's elbow. He looked to her and shrugged.
"Maybe is lost? And you say alvays be friendly to strangers to gather information for pack." He replied, voice quiet enough that there would be no chance of the stranger hearing. Null dropped her ears a little.
...You're right. She unsettles me, though. She half hid behind the giant Russian, who huffed at her.
"You are beingk silly. Ve should say hello." Before she could argue further, the ebony furred wolfdog began to lope towards the stranger with a pleasant, friendly expression on his face. Null hesitated for a moment before taking after him. Hello! Rurik greeted the strange girl, nodding his head. Null flashed a quick smile at her too, not sure why the girl bothered her so much.
