[Gotham Phoenix]

Hrm. Gotham needs to do more pack-related stuff. I'ma hop in too, and be the protective older cousin for a bit, in case no one minds.

Fia hadn't been the only one to hear the howl. The young prince was nearby, digging up some wood for the fire in the mansion, when the howl reached his ears. He stopped what he was doing in favor of investigating this new 'discovery'. Gotham's pace was quick as he approached the area, in his optime form and dressed in the usual leather coat and cargo pants. When the black male arrived on the scene, he discovered he wasn't the only one who'd heard the howl.

Disregarding the stranger for a moment, that protective instinct kicked in. Coming up to them, he frowned a bit, voice stern as he addressed the younger cousin. "Fia, si sobillatore poco, don't go running up to strangers." His scold was half-hearted at best; boy didn't really know how to act around kids.

He did come up with head held high and tail stiff, though. The white wolf infront of them was most assuredly a stranger, making him put on that 'i own this place' act. "Come back over here and be polite, Fia." A soft scold, and then he finally addressed the other wolf. "And who are you, stranger?" Not really the most polite greeting, but Gotham felt a little on edge; if she'd been a violent loner, Fia could've well been harmed, and then he'd be in deep shit for allowing it to happen. What the heck was the pup doing so far from the manor, anyway!?
