Jace hadn't met the new female on a regular capacity yet, he had only met her at the borders when they were chasing away an intruder. He had been out walking today, the wound in his shoulder almost completely healed when he saw her. She was tiny first and foremost, Jace could probably make 3 of her and she had pretty fur that caught the sunlight and glinted off. She reminded him a bit of fox both of them were fox-like. He smiled at his unintended pun. He wasn't even sure if he knew her name. He watched her trying and failing to catch a fish and finally she gave up and then he strode forward the sunlight glinting off the inky blackness of his pelt.

He chuffed quietly Hey there I'm Jace would you like me to teach you to fish? He was not concerned that she would be nervous around him, most were until they got to know the golden heart underneath and he was a creek wolf so she didn't have to worry about that either.

Jace shifted and with a rollicking gait he stepped into the shallows he looked up at her with a smile in his eyes and spoke quietly Yea their quick little buggars thats for sure Miss. And it's a pleasure to meet you. He looked down and then back up and waited for the silt and the dirt to settle from him pawing around and then spoke again. It's tricky to catch a fish, but once you get the hang of it it's easy. What you need to do is rather go for the shadows instead of the fish. See the light reflects differently on the water especially on a sunny day and where you think the fish are they really aren't it's a trick and their shadow is really the fish. Here watch. With that he bent a large black paw and with a quick scooping motion scooped a fish onto the bank.

He bent his head and quickly ended it's life and lay it gently down so he could carry it with him later. Do you think you got that? Want to try again?

Jace chuckled at her exuberant display. Yes almost. he smiled at her again chuckling at the thrilled expression on her face. yes I guess you could say that. I try to be well rounded as a whole but i've always done best at fishing. Probably because for the most part growing up I was a solitary being and fishing can be a solitary sport.So tell me Athena what brings you to the creek? He was merely curious about his fellow pack mate.

There was definitely an influx of newcomers to the creek and he had to smile at it. He enjoyed meeting others and having his little adopted family grow.

Jace shook his head at her words. That does not seem selfish at all, it is a way to survive that is all. I think you were smart to seek out a pack. Lone wolves do not last long in most cases. It was the sad truth of the matter, just walking here to this pack land on his own had been tricky and dangerous and a little bit scary. he was lucky enough to have arrived unscathed, but still it had been luck and nothing more. He could have very well perished out there.

Jace chuckled at her enthusiasm to catch the fish and he spoke quietly Though I know you are having fun you are never going to catch a fish unless yo ustand still. Just for future reference. He knew right now it was just for fun that they bounded and chased the fish in the sunshine.

Jace lifted his gaze to the borderlands and smiled again Well here we are I have some hunting to do. Welcome home Athena. I will talk to you again soon, I have some hunting to do. he dipped his muzzle at her in respect and then with another trademark grin he trotted off to do some hunting his large paws tearing up the ground.
