sleight of hand

Iqniq wandered along, bouncing from one jagged rock to the next as he hopped his way across the limestone path. Some stones were flatter and were easy to balance on. Others were a little more precarious. Those, he tried to limit his time on, pressing off the surface to land on the next where his footing was a little more solid. He found that as long as he kept a couple of paws down at a time, he could travel across them without too much effort. No ankle rolling. No fear of falling because of the momentum. It was actually some kind of fun and a decent workout. Not bad.

The presence of Savik caused Iqniq to slow down and stand fully upon a rock. A light smile graced his muzzle as he looked to the wolf. He appeared to be doing well. Iqniq hadn't seen him around much, but it was nice to put a good visual to the wolf he'd accepted at their borders not too long ago. The wolf called out and bowed accordingly. Iqniq nodded his acceptance of the gesture as a light wag lifted upon his tail. "Good of you to come. It's been a while."

His ear swiveled upon his head as he picked up a sound that was nothing more than the husk of a fallen leaf blowing against stone. Dismissing the noise, he turned his attention more fully towards his pack member. "You've been here, what? A little over a month now? How are you settling in? Have you met most everyone yet?" Question asked, Iqniq tipped his head in one direction and invited the wolf to join him in this patrol. They could walk and talk. The exercise and conversation would be good for them both.
