The look she gave him when she turned to look at him was one of friendship, no trace of shock or annoyance in her features save the slight puffing of her lovely fur. Zalen watched, and listened, as the Ichikan wolfess whined and came to greet him in such a natural fashion. The black Alpha could not help but to cock his head to the side curiously at her, for this was the first time he had seen her in such a way, with no words being spoken. He was about to ask her if she was alright, but she was before him now, her tail wagging furiously behind her. Her ears were laid back and she batted him playfully and Zalen couldn’t help but let his instinct take over to such a display.
His own ebon furred appendage began to swing like a pendulum behind him, and he flicked his ears back as well as he closed the gap between them. Rubbing his flank against hers he sniffed; she smelled of Ichika and the mountains, it was a scent that was quite pleasing to his senses. His tail began to speed up as he turned and rubbed his head into the fluffy scruff of her neck.
She was in Secui form, yet the size difference was somewhat surprising with his form still managing to be slightly large then her in some aspects. It seemed that he had gained some muscle and fat in the previous months, mostly due to the amount of travel and the availability of prey. This was good, for he had always been average at best, but now it seemed he was beginning to grow into his large paws and legs.
He returned her whine and darted his tongue out to lick at her chin. Here outside their territories they were nothing more than lone wolves, glad to be in each others companies. This nature show of friendly affection nearly made him want to play, but he held back for now, wondering how she would react to his return of her gestural conversation.
