Dragoncrest Cliffs smile because you're the deer in the headlights.

He's looking for Rose, but all welcome! :D I would apologize for him, but it makes me laugh.

He was curious about her.

He'd seen the girl only briefly when Thuringwethil and company had returned, but that apparently had been all he'd needed to begin wondering. Who was she? Where had she come from? Artaax did not like outsiders, but his distaste for them was apparently lessening from what it had once been. Evidence had begun to build up that was making a case for those born outside of Drageda's borders. Little as he actually respected Eljay, the manchild had actually ended up showing more loyalty to Drageda than their so-called allies from Seageda and Trigeda. He gave the Blackthorn more credit than he actually showed for leaving his own family behind to return to Drageda as he'd promised. There was Furi as well who had remained by their side for many weeks now. They gave him some semblence of hope for the worth of wolves not born in Drageda.

And that's why he told himself he wanted to find @Rose. Truthfully, his intention was only to watch her from afar for a little while to learn what he could of her merely through observation. Of course, that particular method was one that others (90% of society in general) would think of as creepy or stalker-ish. But Artaax was a hunter, and he couldn't help but apply the same tactics he employed for getting to know his prey to getting to know random young ladies.

Hopefully someone would catch him at it and set him straight soon.

But until that day, this was just his way of attempting to learn more before he committed to an actual conversation. So, the young wolf trotted in a zig-zagging line through the trees, searching for her scent so he could begin stalking ahh... getting to know her.
