Dante was glad to see the other male smile. Not that he hadn't seemed friendly - it was just further clarification that there would be no problems here. There was truth in his words, though. Dante had met one from that very mountain pack not too long ago, fortunately in neutral territory. The way he spoke, Dante got the impression that Mordecai too was new in these lands. "So far? So you too have not been here long?" He asked, curious. Dante could smell the other pack on this wolf, same as Erika, so he must have at least been here long enough to curry favor with an Alpha and join their pack.
In any event, it was nice to meet another who hadn't been here for considerable amount of time. Dante was starting to think perhaps he was the only one.
