Hi! WC=451 4+

The white male had been returning to his den for the afternoon, before the sun was to set. While he didn't mind the night time, he prefered to retreat to his sanctuary before dusk. He had been out in the forest, foraging for some berries. In his left hand was his trusty Eastern staff. In his other hand was a small pouch, inside containing the berries he had been foraging before. They were the same kind that his younger sister had enjoyed, from his memory. He would frequently go fetch them in his youth when his parents were still alive.

He had come out of the forest to the den area of the bottom of the mountain, where the main pack homes resided. He climbed the small dispersed rock formation to the mouth of his den. Inside was his possessions. He moved to the Northern wall of the den, which is bed of dried straw and leaves, line with animal fur resided. He had kept himself busy with his den as would wait for the new days to start to begin his pack duties.

He placed the small pouch of berries to the left side of the bed as was about to sit for a moment, untill an unfamiliar, yet faint familiar scent had tickled his nose gently. The faint smell was indeed of Sangilak, yet the overwhelming scent was something else. Was it the new wolf he met at the pack meeting? The one that was close the Xyn most of that time. Yet, the male the keen on meeting new faces. If it was this wolf from then, the two could now get to know each other a little more.

He turned and left his den once more to the outside world which the afternoon was still upon. Following the scent of the canine creature to the origin of the source, he found himself coming close to an unfamiliar female jackal, outside of the alpha's den. He had not seen this creature before. Maybe it was that new one that had come into the lands a little while ago. Pendzez, found this rather joyous. He had never really met anyone socially that was a full blood jackal

As he came into the open before the female, he spoke in a calm tone, Excuse me miss? Are you lost? He had to wonder what the female was doing at the alpha's den. Maybe it was because that the female was of a different species, so to speak, that she was under the watchful eye of one of the leaders. Yet, if she was a now pack sister, then why have an alpha guardian? Maybe there was a story to it.

The way the female first reacted seemed rather strange to the male. He tilted his head and turned the gaze sight of his eyes to the left, then back to the Jackal. The way she spoke those words almost sounded like she might have a split personality, or at least some insecurities. Yet, he didn't see it as a barrier between the two's social encounters with each other.

He returned his head back to the original position as he offered another smile to the female as he came just a little bit closer, yet kept a safe distance from her. Well miss, I don't think that Alpha's are in today. If you want, you can wait for them in my den for the time being. He thought to offer his sanctuary to the new female for now just in case.

The male was startled as he heard the next words to proceed from her mouth. He wasn't offended by her questions, but he was a little startled that she asked him that, since the two were now pack mates. Yet, he didn't react in anyway to her question. Miss, you need not to worry about me. I am not known to lay a harming finger to anyone, nor to a pack mate. I promise you, I will not harm you, nor will I let any harm come to you?

He noticed how the female backed off as the male come a little closer to her. He merely stepped back away from here, as he assumed that he was overstepping a boundary or two. He kept the female creatures wishes and merely smiled to acknowledge it. Ok, I understand. As you wish, miss. My name is Pendzez. Pendzez Zazkex. He offered his name in exchange for her's. Even if the Jackal had some possible social problems, giving her name wouldn't be pushing against the social boundary.

He kept to his new distance from the female, as he feared that she would possible lash out or run away and hide. He had the proper knowledge of engaging in conversation with canines like here. She wasn't the first he had encountered that had extreme nervousness and shyness. It was all about keeping the proper tone of voice and length of distance. Hopefully, over time, she would allow the male to come a little closer, and be somewhat more open to him.

He heard her muttering to herself, though it was inaudible to him. It didn't really matter to him what she said in the murmur. What mattered to him was the next question that proceeded from the Jackal's mouth. She asked him if he was a warrior like X'y and Jaden. He pondered on that question for a moment before he was to provide an answer to the curious female. He considered himself a warrior, but it had been sometime since he used the sword to fight and protect his friends and pack. Even though he carried the sheathed blade with him, he left it sheathed. However, every time he looked at it, he saw it become more of a decoration than a tool.

He looked to Sira as he was now to give an answer. Yes, well, I was one. It has been sometime since I last unsheathed my sword. He let out a little sigh as he tried to remember he held his Masamune bare. So, to answer your question, not really, not anymore.
