Moonspear Wake and pace the hall

Sassafras raised her head with a start as she realized someone was approaching, but quickly drew her tall ears back when she saw a bristling white male with gunmetal dappling. It certainly wasn’t the fair-mannered boy she had encountered in the wood. She sidestepped slightly and dropped her natural posture entirely for something more submissive as she stuck her velvety nose out to get a good sense of him, finding it clear in every way that he was the Alpha male there.
 
"I’m looking for a black puppy," she stated gently. She thought to ask about Lazarus, but held her tongue in favour of leaving the vicinity as quickly as possible. It was a turn from her visit to the welcoming wolves of Donnelaith, but she was admittedly more accustomed to the Moonspear male’s behavior than she had been to theirs. He had every right. "She disappeared from the Caldera a week ago," she added, hoping the time-frame might help to jog his memory if he had noticed any evidence in the area.
