Just close your eyes, dear [J]

No problem I just wanted to allow you to post in the pack otherwise

Ferdie Von Pelt realized he was testing the new pack members patience but he also knew it was the quickest way to place his scent upon her and allow her to know he had accepted her in one encompassing action; the ear nip was probably the one step to far. But he was a newly crowned alpha and overly eager to strut. As time passed he would be less likely to push to far, unless he felt the other wolf was not getting 'it' Viatrix DeMonte however had proved to be nothing less then polite and his respect for her grew.

His tail has still happily high over his back and not likely to change position though he did soften the position of his head welcoming her to draw closer to his side rather then trail behind if they were to have a conversation.

Yes our position on the Sunspire is rather new, but a few days so far, I expect a cold winter up here but the mountain may surprise us with warm shielded spots. He glanced at her sidelong wanting to gauge her reaction to exploration
Much higher up I can scent only what I can fathom might be a hot spring of sorts; I just can't get to it; A sheer rock face blocks my path Ferdie's tone went from pleasant to slightly grumpy as he spoke of the mountain not yet yielding it's prize.

His ear tipped toward her listening for anything she might want to ask or add, however it wasn't long before the trail they took turned upward forcing them to focus on finding the best footing rather then lively conversation. Ferdie was attempting to lead his new pack sister toward the impromptu gathering place for the pack, the Sunspire's shining gem, the oasis.
