The Gamma had heard a rumor that was most disconcerting to him, and he'd been determined to check on it the moment he had a chance. Unfortunately, that didn't come for longer than he anticipated - the white wolf had busied himself with the duties that came with his rank, as well as scouting the borders. It was a habit born of years of repetition, and he could not so easily shake it. Shandom felt most comfortable when he was on high alert, protecting those he loved. New Dawn had become his family, and the white male was happy there. Though he did not much have occasion to interact with the Alphas, he deeply respected them and would have thrown himself readily in the face of danger to defend them. With them lived the knowledge of the pack, the places where food was prevalent and the history of their culture. It was important that they be protected above all else, and Shandom was determined to do so.
It was not surprising to him, then, that when a trespasser was found on the borders, a slight argument had broken out. The Gamma was disappointed in his pack members for allowing such bickering to get in the way of what was truly the issue: defending New Dawn, and ensuring that the entire pack was safe. He had yet to speak to anyone fully involved in the situation, and while he intended to do so it was not for that reason that he currently sought out the trespasser. No, it was because he'd heard that it was the coyote Terra, his friend from the Court and the most mischievous little girl ever. He hoped she wasn't being entirely ignorant, and was also healthy.
Her smell, mingled with blood and injury and fear, led him to her location, and Shandom did not suppress a gasp when he saw her. Terra! he murmured, voice filled with concern for his young friend, though there was a slight bit of reproach in his voice. Terra, it's me, it's Shandom. Are... What happened to you?
