Ouroboros Spine to follow and find

He was aware that the pale female did not permit her stare to break from him, but his attention was on Tonravik, and as she came near, Kodiak did not move. Her presence was not just tolerated, it was welcomed, and he would allow her as full an inspection as she wished. His gaze followed with her as she breathed the scents upon his fur and circled him, repeating his words. When she left him to cross the borders, inviting him without words, he followed, and satisfaction burned within him. Now his task was complete, as he took a place at his dark Alpha's flank. He would stand at her shoulder, but for now she would lead him.

The brown bear's eyes flicked to the other female when Tonravik chuffed to her, and then she looked to him, but Kodiak would not meet her gaze, which instead would wander as they walked. He would take in every feature of the terrain of his new territory, mapping it. "Did you take this?" he asked, more seeking confirmation than anything, for the borders had many scents upon them, layered and aged in such a way that suggested this spine was not a new claim.
