The alabaster male should have intrigued Kiara. His soot stained coat was unkept and his fiery eyes were sharp and strong. If one looked past his singed coat and dripping muzzle, they would be able to see a handsome young wolf. However, Kiara was oblivious to all this and was more worried about the stranger's health. His cough was bad and the black mucus that he spit out was a bad sign. Kiara knew nothing about healing or medicine, and so she wasn't sure how to help the strange wolf.
Kiara thought that the male looked a lot like her brother Crowl. Crowl did not have a pristine white coat like herself or her sister. Rather, Kiara's brother took after their father and had bits of grey and brown that flaked his coat. The strange male before Kiara also acted like Crowl too, in the fact that he hated to be seen as weak and would often feel ashamed when he was injured. Crowl would sometimes slink home after getting into a fight with the neighborhood coyotes. When Kiara finally managed to locate Crowl, he would often lower his eyes and slick his ears back just as the stranger was doing. They weren't completely alike though, Crowl had golden eyes and was larger than her by a few inches.
Despite their differences, the arctic wolf still saw her brother in the stranger which made her all the more worried. Kiara did the only thing she could do, she grabbed the fish at her paws and slowly made her way towards the male. As she approached she assumed the appropriate demeanor and lowered herself and her tail. The arctic wolf kept her eyes trained on the males paws and whined a little as she approached. When she got halfway across the stream, Kiara stopped and flicked her head to show the fish was a peace offering. She wanted to get closer, to lick the young males wounds and coerce him back to Ichika. There was a healer there that could help him, if only he'd let her approach.
