Blacktail Deer Plateau checking up

Luke listened with closed eyes and a smile, picturing in his mind the territory his companion described that she dreamed of for her pack: a forest sheltered by monumental trees and mountain slopes, divided by a broad river and offering a view of the expansive wild. She was speaking his language, and he ushered a soft mmm with a gentle bob of his head. "I like the sound of that," he confirmed verbally, giving Harlyn an approving grin.

The blue-nosed wolf shuffled close to Harlyn's side and leaned against her. "You find this place and you'll be stuck with me," he chuckled. Yes, the place she described had all he could ever ask for, a protected home with a river that would surely support his fishing and swimming habit. And if he could surround himself with other wolves like Harlyn and Mordecai, all the better. He was excited by the prospect, and hoped that Mordecai would be open to Harlyn's dream whenever she decided to speak to him about it.
