Jade Fern Grove it shut its eyes entirely and looked the other way.

Apologies for the delay!

Iovan was busy considering the outline of what looked like some sort of nest perched high out of reach when the chuff of his own kind reached his ears. Torn by the distraction, the ranger orbited his ears to the side before he caught his body up with the turn and faced his company with the lift of his brows - an open and curious look.

The wolf who approached him was handsome by every means, but Iovan wasn't the sort to dwell long on beauty, unless the wolf was of the fairer sex. Rather, he found himself caught up in the reason for the man to be so forward in his approach, unafraid to make himself known - though one catch of his scent suggested he didn't travel alone. The tall stranger didn't seem a threat, and his amber eyes suggested warmth, or at least, neutrality. Either or was better than hostility, and on that cue, Iovan allowed his tail to pick up a slow wag. "Hello there," he finished his turn to face the newcomer, and took a casual pace to cover the small distance between them so they didn't have to yell. "Name's Iovan Theyn." He tipped his head, and when he raised his sight again, his own contentment shimmered through his eyes. "And who do I have the pleasure?"
