Silvertip Mountain Daybreak

Ezekiel was stunned when a voice sounded by him. He leaped to his feet, kicking a hole in the path of flowers by him. He whipped around to see a female he didn't know. She smelled of the pack but still he was startled. He had heard Reiko's voice, he was sure of it. But this was not Reiko. He puffed up like a marshmallow, stark grey fur sticking up as he backed away warily from the grey girl. She was younger, but of decent size. And she'd managed to get the drop on her. He looked her over for a moment, then settled. If she was a newbie, he didn't want to seem like a grump the way he had with Valette.

Sorry, you startled me. Did you speak? He knew the answer to be no as soon as he caught a whiff of the white wolf nearby. He turned to see her giggling and he blushed. It was quite embarrassing. I like flowers. He said bashfully, shuffling his paws and moving over to allow Reiko to come near and meet the other female. Once again surrounded by girls. The only guy friend he had was Steady. I'm Ezekiel, this is Reiko. You? He said in as friendly a tone he could, nodding to Nanook. He had hoped to be alone in his flowery glade, but it would be good to meet his new pack mates.
