Sleepy Fox Hollow You could try and take us, but we're the gladiators.

Taki gladly took the lead when Sia offered it, always eager to prove herself to him. She wanted to travel a productive distance away; no sense in patrolling an area that you could easily watch while next to the group. Once she felt she had done just that, she turned to start walking a circular perimeter around where the group was gathered. 

They walked in silence for a while, both sniffing here and there, ears flicking to any noise in the distance. She wanted to fill him in a little more on what she had found in the glacier and the wolves she left there, but when she about to open her mouth to speak, she caught the fresh scent of a strange male and froze. Taki immediate began scanning the area, attempting to find the intruder. This wasn't exactly their territory, but she viewed any stranger near the pups as an intruder. She looked at Sia then to see if he had picked up the same scent, and assuming he had, she started tracking it to its source. 

It didn't take long to find the pale stranger. Taki froze a safe distance away, tail flagged assertively, and waited for Sia's command.
