The large building was not something he had spent much time near, having found a small rotting house - actually, it could probably be called a box that was falling in on him - just a little ways outside of the pack lands that he had spent some time in, although he spent most of his time out in the open in the pack lands. He did want a house of his own, or something similar, but he did not know how to go about finding or building one. Vigilante had seen some houses built in the area, including one in this pack, but he did not know who had built it. Otherwise, he might have considered seeking help for such a thing.
It wasn't as if he had anyone to share the house with, though, so it may have been very lonely. His thoughts drifted to the many females he had met in the area and whether they were seemingly interested in him. Though he was trying not to focus entirely on finding a mate, he still could not help but wonder about the ones he had met so far, both within his pack and outside. For the first time in a while, he was in his lupus form, not his optime form, which he had grown to like even more now that it wasn't used for killing. He had been in this form when he had met Adelaida, but as far as he could remember, that was the last time.
He was not far from the source of the howl that rose in the air, strong and demanding, so out of curiousity, the malamute-shepherd mutt trotted towards the sound, coming across the husky quickly. That was a surprise. Aside from little Mael and Jacquez, everyone he had met thus far was a wolf. "Hello there. Looking for anyone in particular, or will just anyone do?" he inquired, approaching at an easy gait. The strange pack member did not seem particularly happy, but the call hadn't specified anyone, so Vigilante hoped he was welcome.
