Overture Downs like somebody somewhere could see

of course :D

Internal conflict pulls at him because he wants to get far away from the possibility of pack wolves but also wants to learn of them. He smelled just enough of them to make him wary and curious all at once. Maybe they could present some information valuable to someone, or maybe they could just be outright hostile towards him, a loner creeping on their nearby neutral spaces. He struggles to decide if it is worth the risk, but all of it is dropped the second he realizes the large wolf's company.

Inari freezes and his grip on his squirrel tightens because otherwise, he'd just clinch his teeth. At first he suspects he'd be a back wolf, but the scents don't quite match, and his makes him more uncertain.

He lowers his head protectively over himself, and keeps his posture low although he is tense with nervousness. He skirts his glances over the stranger, questioning him silently and trying to see more all at once. Anything more would make him have to set down his kill, and he would need to know just a little more before he dared do that. Inari was keeping the possibility of needing to flee immediately on his mind, and it was only in his best interest that he focus more on reading the language of the stranger than look to plan his escape route already.
