Valor had not been ignorant of the trailing scents of wolves that came, went, and presently lingered upon the Sunspire. It might have been enough, knowing there was the presence of others, to ward off other wolves, but there was no official borders and hardly enough to be considered a claim and that was enough for Valor to make his way towards Oasis as he pleased. Until it was claimed by distinct scent markers as far as Valor was concerned it was a free territory and he was doing nothing wrong being here. A large, ebony man came with the intent of approaching the average sized loner. For a blind second, Valor almost recoiled thinking it was his uncle Cadence, but of course, Cadence was not nearly so young, and even so Valor had lost the knowledge of if Cadence was even alive anymore.
Valor acknowledged the other with caution and suspicion as most loners tended to acknowledge one another with — at least as far as Valor’s own experiences went; yet when the other male spoke there were hidden connotations that the Phase picked up upon. A greeting as if it were actually a pack. Head tilted to the side, moss green eyes starburst with gold studied the other man as Valor contemplated this, black, leathery nostrils flaring. “I am looking for shelter and for something to eat,” He responded simply, honestly but with no intentions of being stopped because there was no claim here (yet) and Valor did not have to really answer the other, currently.
Granted, Valor did not speak with intention of pissing his companion off. Valor was in no mood to fight though he had intended to make Sunspire a temporary home considering he would feel most at home upon it's looming presence.
