She had really never seen anything like him. Naniko had been spending most of her days buried deep within the packlands, surrounded by familiar sounds and smells, comforting ones, but today she'd branched out a little. She wanted to make sure that she could still do this, that she could go to the border and smell Conri's scent without becoming afraid and turning back. His scent was still all over the place, hiding, creeping up on her when she thought she'd gotten him out of her head.
The large wolf lay out over a dark rock, taking in whatever sunlight had managed to escape the cloud cover that swirled overhead. She was getting used to this weather, all of the rain, but wondered what it would be like in the winter. Lots of snow? It certainly did rain here a lot, compared to the last place she'd lived, so she wondered if there would be a lot of snow. Or...maybe less. She wasn't sure.
Naniko had been watching the creature for some time, now, as he walked toward the border, reached it, stopped, and sat down. She wasn't sure how to react to something like him...whatever he was. She'd heard stories about dogs before, of course, from Physe...(he'd met one!) but had never actually seen one before. She just thought that they were a myth, like the "Loch Ness Monster" and the "internet" that she had read about.
The ivory pelted one stood up, stretching her front legs out in front of her before slipping down from the rock, heading toward the stranger. She didn't know if it would understand her, if it really was one of those dog things...
"Uhhh...Hello?" She called from a short distance away. Hello was a good start.
