Neverwinter Forest never relent

Hope you don't mind this shameless late arrival to the thread! ^__^;; This plot is so awesome I couldn't resist. Pls feel free to nudge Goldhawk out of it tho~

The warrior bard had his head underwater when the howl went up, so couldn't hear it. He was also singing nonsensically... in one big experimental exhale — when waters rise and bubbles bloop, I'd try a river on for siiiiiize. ♫ He pulled his head majestically back to the surface. Well, that was probably quite the show for the mermaids, wot, he concluded contently. But then he sat upright, wet head dripping, nose twitching. There was an unfamiliar scent nearby. A wolf on the borders, not of Neverwinter.

Goldhawk shook his fur quickly, droplets flying every which way, then moved swiftly to interrogate the visitor. But as he moved from behind a thick grove of trees, he encountered, instead, Neverwinter's two good-looking high-ups. Ah, do excuse the wanton interruption, he bowed his damp head gracefully to them. I'm on the trail of a stranger who —... he paused. Head still bowed, he realised suddenly that he was looking at a rather handsome pair of stark white paws. He looked up. Yes, there was the stranger. And it appeared entirely that said stranger was a friend to the Alphas. Goldhawk blinked, but regained his composure swiftly. This'll be the chappy then, he confirmed brightly. Excuse me once again, I'll buzz off — unless I might be of any service m'lady m'lord? he asked the pair, one forepaw hovering mid-manouvre.
