Silver Creek out for a paddle

He waited patiently for the other, standing still in the certain of the stream. The water played with his tail, pushing one way and then the other. It fanned and tugged the fur of his belly and chest in a pleasant way. Had he not been wet on his top half he'd think himself quite magnificent. As it was, the pointed and wet fur only slightly affected the whole picture. He still found himself quite attractive, which he confirmed by glancing towards the water once as the other approached. 

The other waded through the water and it soon became apparent he'd be meeting another female. This fem was older than the other's he'd met, he could see the graying silver of her muzzle. It was nice to know that the pack had elder wolves though. He was unaware of their history, and briefly wondered if it was possible for this female to have been with this pack her entire life. Had she once been alpha? Could she be the mother of a wolf he'd met? For all he knew, she could simply be another loner having joined before him.

Her voice reached him and a surprised but warm laugh left his mouth. "I've noticed that, actually." He remarked, dipping his head in greeting to her. "I'm one of Spring's hopefuls. I'm here to end the drought of males, at least, by one." He joked, smiling softly at the fem."Is there a reason Silver Creek is full of females? I've met only one male. Should I be concerned I'm going to be eaten once I've helped increase pack numbers?" He lowered his voice, glancing around him. "Are you secretly a tribe of amazon women?"

"Excuse me, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Heston, the latest sacrifice, I don't believe we've met yet." The female before him was older, yes, her body may have silvered and thinned, but she was not lacking in beauty. It was a more mature look, obviously, but females who had lived as long as this one obviously had more going for them than simply looks. He could imagine what she had been in her prime, lookswise. 

If worst came to worst and he was being accepted into a pack of females that would only use him to ensure they gained more children....well, there were worse ways to be used. And worse ways to die, for that matter.
