The dog King heard the Baroness’ howl, and though it was not specifically meant for him, the caramel-hued secui male began walking in the direction of her song, interested to see what she had in mind now. Caspa had informed him of the show that she and Terra were planning, something to lift the spirits of the kingdom. Both Terra and Caspa seemed interested in helping the pack, making it a comfortable place to live in light of recent troubled times. It was something that Vigilante could appreciate, and their efforts should be rewarded. Caspa had been promoted into the council, and though it was something he was considering for Terra, he would like to see some growth on her end. She was loyal and a good member of the pack, but she was a sly one, and she seemed to be very young in spirit, something that would be worrisome in the council.

As he approached, the dog mutt realized that Terra was not alone. There was another’s scent on the air, one that he did not recognize, among the scent of burning meat and fire. It was not the scent of a Miracles canine, but someone else, someone who did not belong there by loyalty or home. With their history of trespassers, the King bristled at the recognition that the scent was foreign, and it urged him forward, massive paws carrying him to where Terra stood by a fire, rabbits cooking on a spit above it, and a strange brown woman stood on his lands. “Hello, Terra,” he said warmly, the words accompanied by a dip of his head in greeting. “Is this a friend of yours, or another trespasser?” The question was asked in a gruff tone, the warm voice becoming terse, the fur on the back of his neck rising. His dark face turned to study the strange woman, watching her with a piercing gaze.
