Bitter Sweet Symphony

A calm breeze blew by shifting his fur and revealing the scent of the female he met at the borders. Her chuff was followed by a huff of his own, for he didn't feel like wasting his breath on a greeting. He turned to face her, dull hazel eyes scanning her body. He may seem a tad but intrusive with his eyes, but he was simply trying to read her past.

Scars showed that she had been in a few scraps, and that round belly proved that she was most likely no longer eating for only one. He returned his gaze back out to the lake, eyes locked on the mysterious object once again. A mist settled over the lake, while dragonflies hovered above and silence hung in the air. 

He reached out a paw and tapped the ground next to him, inviting her to sit. Aegeus found that these first few interactions between Alpha and subordinate were always the most awkward,  and he never knew what to say. However to him it seemed this dark female was more of the strong silent time, than a chatter box. He was still trying to determine if that was a good or bad thing.
