Emberwood Looking forward to seeing you

Attempting to battle the summer heat, Kavik had spent most of the afternoon in the water. When he heard Elixir's howl, he knew he couldn't hide in the cool liquid any longer, so he slowly stood and shook the excess water from his thick coat before heading in the direction of the call. 

He soon came to a small area where the trees parted to let in the intrusive rays from the sun. It appeared his healer had beat him there, and standing with Elixir, was a small red wolf he had never seen before. Meeting new wolves had become a regular thing for them while they were making there way to the mountains, but no matter how many times they had done this song and dance, Kavik still remained leery of strangers. 

As he came up beside Liri, he offered Elixir a small nod before turning to greet Liri with a nuzzle to her cheek. He then looked between the stranger and the wolfdog and asked, "Another recruit?" as he took a seat beside his mate. As he waited for an answer, his gaze scanned over the small female, searching her for any signs of ill-will.
