Vigilante did not know what to do with himself today, but he did not like the idea of just sitting in the house. It was cold outside, but it was not something he could not handle, and he supposed he actually could tolerate it much more than many of the members of the pack, considering he was a snow dog mutt with very thick fur. In the form that he had been frequently using, as well, the cold did not bother him in the least. His secui form had even thicker fur, and his muscles found in all three forms were more pronounced. He was able to move with more strength, although less grace, and the cold did not bother him. It was, therefore, a win-win situation for him to continue using his secui form when outside of the house. The extra addition of intimidation to his appearance was nothing he could complain about, either, considering the current dangers of the region.
It was a nice enough day out, so he left the house, shaking out his thick, earthen-toned fur before heading in the direction that he thought he had seen Ayita go in that morning. So far, everything was going great between them, and he was incredibly happy. They had not been together for even two whole months yet, but that did not matter. Vigilante was a ready for a lifetime with her. He was not this happy all the time, especially at the beginning of the month. His birthday had never been a happy day for him - it had never been celebrated or anything - and this birthday had been most unpleasant, as it had marked the one-year anniversary of his sister's death. Pushing those thoughts away with a shake of his head, Vigilante finally spotted Ayita, as well as someone else that he did not know. It did not seem as if they had seen one another yet. "Hello, my dear," he said, grinning at his mate, then turned his attention to the other. "And hello. I am Vigilante Haskel, and this is my mate, Ayita. Are you new to the pack?" That seemed the most likely scenario, because, while Vigilante did not know everyone in Cour des Miracles, he did not recognize this one at all.
