Silvertip Mountain The new girl in town

For @Anita!

It wasn't long before the pair reached the Silvertip border, one pale, one reddish-gold. Phocion stopped before crossing his own border, giving Anita a long look back. "Here we are," he said, unnecessarily so, as the scent markings were clear and strong. The summit of the mountain loomed above them, its sides blanketed with lush forests and rocky cliffs. Home. For himself, and potentially for Anita, as well.

"I'll call our beta to let him know of our presence," he explained. Lifting his cream-gold nose to the sky, he let out a loud howl for @Steady, voice carrying across the landscape. There is a new wolf here, and she wishes to join Silvertip, the message said.

Lowering his head again, he looked at his newfound friend and smiled. She was quite pretty, with amber eyes and a lovely lush coat of many different colors, and she was well-spoken, with a note of steely determination in her voice that was appealing. Yet Phocion felt wary after his attempts to woo Niita--which had been rebuffed, bolstered by that sullen attitude of Steady's. Nevertheless, he would befriend Anita and show her around. Whatever happened, happened.
