Overture Downs It's Foregone

sorry for the delay! <3

For a moment, maybe it was just his appearance or his voice, Mordecai thought him a funny little creature.  But the feeling passed swiftly as he ventured on, at least bringing them even with one another as Reek introduced himself.  Likewise, the mention of another woodland pack did not really ring any alarm bells for him, though Mordecai was curious as to where it was.  Couldn't have been too far, he surmised immediately, or otherwise the chances of them encountering one another in the wide swath of the valley would have been much slimmer indeed.

He set off at an easy pace, not at all inclined to pick up just because he had found himself some company.  Half of the battle in tracking was, well, keeping track of what they were after, and his limited field of view gave him reason to keep things nice and easy.  But it didn't spare him from sparking conversation, either: "Any idea what happened to the pack that was here?"  He scarcely recalled it, though it had been safe to say that the wolves that had been there had founded not much before they had solidified their own claim in the Hollow.
