Nothing could catch him. He was too smart for that, and he was too too fast. He swayed his head back and forth and he could feel the mane that he pretended to have hit the sides of his neck, and he snorted with defiance as he scampered through the fallen leaves. His ears seemed to pick up a new sound, but it was something he wasn’t sure if he was actually hearing or if it was something that his imagination was simply making up. It was like the call of a bird, but not the tweeting and the interrupted calls that he had known but a long solid song.
Alder paused in his step, for the bird’s song had ended and he was wondering what kind of bird could make such a sound. But it was the scent of a stranger that made him look up with wide blue eyes. He knew what to look for when searching another canine, he knew that he needed to seek out the familiar and comforting smell of his mother and brother. But this male (which he understood by his scent as well as his size) was not of the Dreaming pack. He was certainly a stranger. Alder felt his ears fold against his head, the tone of the unknown male coming to him and calling him a steed.
He had seen him?! Alder looked away, but only for a moment. His blue eyes came back to the other wolf and he wondered what he had thought of it. The notion of defined lines were not yet embedded in his mind and Alder still believed that he was well within the pack’s lands. So this male was likely wandering into his home. But it was defensiveness that came to him, but a weary curiosity Hello. He spoke without a smile. The wolf was large and even when he was in a position that shouldn’t have been seemingly submission Alder felt uneasy.
