Redhawk Caldera how it got so cold that words just froze.

Artaax hadn't realized that any of his other packmates were stirring, so when he heard the sound of someone approaching, his hackles rose and he froze in alarm. He heard the call as he was turning, but still didn't settle until a few seconds after he had taken the sight of the other wolf in. He was familiar enough with Hush to know his name, but they'd never really spent much time together. Hush couldn't speak, and Artaax often simply didn't, so bonding wasn't exactly an easy thing to do as it was.

On this afternoon however, Artaax paused to give his packmate time to catch up before continuing along. He gave a nod to greet the other male, but otherwise said nothing as he began to stride forward, his gaze roaming out across the expanse of the territory.
