After somewhat getting settled into a house, Levent went out to walk around the town and see if there was something that he could do. He wasn’t used to having direction in his life, usually just drifting from place to place on his own terms, but now that he was part of a pack, he wondered what duties he should be completing. Hunting and looking for intruders seemed like the obvious ones, but with his rank as a Venditore, he didn’t know if he should start going off to trade right away or if he should follow Skye until she gave him orders.
Strolling around and frowning at Wilson didn’t accomplish anything, though. He altered his direction slightly so he wasn’t moving in circles around the houses, instead striding as if he had a purpose. The cat trotting at his ankles knew better and purred in quiet amusement as the wolf adopted a confident swagger—which only made Lev move around even more to rouse a laugh from the tom.
The sound of hooves made him stop, however, and quickly he stopped to let Wilson leap up onto his usual place on his shoulder; he didn’t want the cat to get crushed by a wayward horse. Tickling his friend under the chin, he came to the edge of the pasture to see a colt galloping around, pursued by a brown she-wolf. Grinning at the sight of equine and canine playing together, he stood and watched, waiting to be noticed.
