Porcupine Ridge black mousepad that needs a cleaning

The pair moved off almost perfectly in sync, Terich remaining one or two steps behind Taggarik at all times in deference to his respective rank, though it was still unofficial at this point. Just because they hadn't formally claimed this land didn't mean they didn't belong here, or that Taggarik wasn't its true alpha. Terich-mir thought just the opposite; their band had settled here, however recently, and with each passing day their claim upon he land was strengthened.

Taggarik didn't comment on his fear of mountains, for which Terich was grateful. "If I'm honest, it already has." He smiled softly, nudging the dark wolf's taller shoulder in gentle camaraderie. As they walked, Taggarik spoke of the others that he wished to join them, and Terich's ears perked at that. Another female? As much as Capri wouldn't like that, it might give the other males something to look at besides her, which would make Terich very happy indeed. It was as if Taggarik knew what he was thinking, for he voiced an unspoken question about Terich and Capri's relationship. Terich chuckled and shook his head as they walked. "You flatter me, truly, but Capri and I are more like siblings than lovers. Trust me. We'd kill each other if we were mates."
