Emberwood goodbye, sweet prince

"Of course, Claudia," he replied with a respectful dip of her head. "Let's see what we can find," he continued, smiling kindly to her. "If you'd like, I could teach you some basics," he offered, glancing to Madeline to see if she would approve. The trio continued on, and the girl asked now of who might try to stop them from settling. He gave a long sigh, not answering right away but instead taking a pause to attempt to get scent of another creature- catching faint scent of some rabbits. There was no guarantee  that they would be nearby, but it was worth a shot. After beginning the follow the trail, the male began his answer.

"A pack, further north of here," he told her. "I don't know their name or numbers, but I'm hoping the threat was empty," he tried to calm her nerves- if any. "If it is not though..." he trailed off a moment, letting out a sight sigh of frustration. "I will leave without violence. I have territory south of here that was just as nice, but it did have it's drawbacks," he smiled to her again, his tail wagging stiffly.
