Iktome Plains If only you knew

Clock nodded to the two wolves and came closer when neither of them showed signs of aggression. He smiled a little at the bigger female's comment. He could tell by their scents that they were not part of Charon's pack and that they were not in a pack together. Three lone wolves... three lone hungry wolves by the look of it. Clock's eyes took in the bigger female's thinning frame then slid over to the smaller, dark furred female. She appeared better fed, but she had a slight built as it was. His ears pricked with delighted interest when the smaller female suggested a hunt. What luck! He nearly yipped with excitment, still being full of youthful enthusiasm at 2 years old. He took a better look at the herd when she mentioned a weaker deer at the far end of the field and silently nodded his approval. "I don't see what it could hurt, if you two are game for a try." Hunting larger prey was always more economical than small prey, and Clock desperately needed a good meal. He had never been part of a large pack, and for several months it was only him and his brother Onni, so he was used to hunting larger prey in small groups. Hence his current state of confidence. The larger female - who Clock judged was built bigger than he - looked very strong, and held herself with a quiet assuredness that was pleasing to him. The smaller female looked very quick and clever, and she had an air of authority around her inspite of her slender frame. Clock could not imagine a better hunting party to stumble upon.

He gave a polite bow of his head when introductions were made. "Pleased to meet you both. My proper name is Cluence, but everyone calls me Clock." He wagged his tail in a friendly way.
