OOC: Hope you don't mind me hopping in. ;D
The warm sun felt great on Sky's pelt as she hoisted her body in quick strides. Up the road, she pelted along, the blacktop stinging her paws as she did. The task today was to explore uncharted territory for things to bring home; food, goods... maybe a new friendship? Nah, not likely. The shy pup wasn't that lucky. Her previous adventures had been for naught, and then she'd joined her new pack, making anyone she met an automatic family wizard. Boring~
But not today! Today she fully planning on exploring as far as she could before the next morning. She'd finished her pack duties previous, and in record time, and now the little songbird was on a mission of her own. Maybe I'll get lucky and find Dusk! Mentally, she slapped herself. And maybe unicorns exist and dogs fly. She's gone, Sky. Get over it. Her pace slowed at this thought, tail drooping and eyes going half-lidded. So much for that great mood. But wait!
A few yards ahead of her, she spied a figure. A shadow on the pavement ahead, only solid. His fur is so dark! So lovely! She paused, lifting a paw off the road as she took a chance to breath. He's also a stranger, Sky. Shawchert warned us about this sort of thing; what if he's of another pack? Putting that paw down, she shifted to lift the other one, tilting her head. Then again, we have other pack wolves visit us all the time. Maybe he's friendly. Only one way to find out, it seems. The wolfdog picked up the pace again, heading towards him with a waving tail and a lowered head. Submission for now, just in case.
"Good hunt, stranger." A classic greeting her sister had taught her. Polite, but cautious. Friendly, but not stupid. Traditional. Respectful. The brown furred girl came to a stop a few feet away, holding her head in line with her shoulders cautiously, a friendly smile in her eyes and a wag in her tail. Hopefully, all would go well... hopefully.
