A whimper catches him off guard and he turns, muscles tense, to see another male. His eyes narrow and lips lip to show off his teeth, even if the wolf isn’t paying attention. Gavriel takes a few steps back to add further distance between them, not that there wasn’t enough already, but a precaution. It isn’t common for a wolf to be distracted enough not to see a potential threat, another predator, but what does it say about himself? He’d been distracted enough by the rabbit that he let another come within audible distance.

“You,” he barks, only to gain attention and see if the other wolf is lucid enough. Whether or not it’s an illness taking affect, the wolf is distracted enough harm could have come upon him and it doesn’t seem the faze him.
