Herbalists' Cache must be in want of a wife

Thanks for the thread! I'll go ahead and archive it!

Their body language mirrored each other as both males vied for dominance.  Reek stood firm and his subtlety aggresive posturing continued, however, he did not push the issue further. Now was not the time for a fight, but he had reason to belive that they would eventually come to blows if the stranger didn't heed his warnings. He would check back in the coming days and if the stranger's scent remained fresh in the territory, he and his followers would be removed by force.

Surprisingly, he had already encountered Saena... less surprising was her reaction suggested by the sarcasmic quality of the stranger's voice. Her territorialism tended to far outpace Reek's generally laid back air, however, with pups in their collective future, Reek was unwilling to grant any concessions for the sake of being nice.

Reek remained silent until the other wolf turned to leave; his suggestion falling on deaf ears. If Aaron chose to stay, his fate was sealed. "I'll return with more numbers," he called out as the other wolf as he took his leave, a self assured quality hung in the timbre of his voice. This pack would not form, he was sure.  "Welcome to the neighborhood," he shouted sarcastically just before the other wolf passed out of his frame of vision. Taking the root-cluster he had almost forgotten in his jaws, Reek turned away with a huff and traveled back to the Maplewood. There was much that needed to be discussed.
