Morningside Cuesta first discovery

The more details she revealed to him about the wolves of this place, the more relieved Malik became - this was great news! This place seemed so vast... He didn't doubt that there were packs spread far and wide, and with her confirmation and description of the packs inhabiting the mountains and valleys, he was likely to stumble into a few of them.

Just like he had unknowingly done right now...

"That's so crazy!" Malik laughed to himself in absurdity, but then perked up to hear Jomyo's question. "Ah? No, no, I'm not going anywhere... Just kind of flying where the wind takes me, you know?" He sat back on his haunches, and chewed on his lip to unsuccessfully hold back his eager grin. "So... Uh, what's your pack like? Is it very big?"

He wanted to ask her a dozen more questions, but decided to hold his tongue as to not overwhelm her... It was taking a lot to hold back his excitement.
