Already Home..

While awaiting a reply from the other male, he noticed his hackles raise. As far as he could tell, that was the only thing he'd done that was more on the threatening side of the spectrum, and so he didn't step back. He stood where he was, watching closely until his coat flattened back down. It was weird, he noted, but refrained from saying anything about it. Just as the wolf he now knew as 'Copper' started to mention something about being there for awhile, the males were greeted by a female presence. The way she spoke made him certain she was the one Fitz had called 'Zaria', and she confirmed his suspicions a moment later when introductions were made. He looked between the two, giving a friendly nod to each of them. "It is nice to meet you, Copper," he started, then looked to the girl. "As is it you. FitzDutiful told me about you—your English is far better than what I was expecting." His words were followed by a smile, then another faint dip of his crown. "My name is Alastor Vranas. English is not my first language, either." He did not mention where he was from, uncertain of what could come out of it. Then, he returned his attention to the other male, not wishing to be rude.

Alastor was curious about where he'd gone, and why he was away for a long enough time to have not been mentioned. Deciding it was not his place to ask, he opted for another question. "Are you back at the mountain permanently now?" As he spoke, his head tilted a bit. It was a normal action for him, something close to being a habit. It was one he couldn't grow out of, and couldn't even leave behind when he'd been wandering on his own.
