She had learned early on that she was not a particular fan of border patrols. Yet, with Swiftcurrent keeping themselves labelled as persistent pests, she felt the deeply-rooted obligation to put herself at their borderlands often enough. They were a pack dotted with Warden-types as it was, for she frequently smelled Jace and the coywolf already, and Ferdie too who did well to keep his scent as alpha fresh, so it was not like they were not manned already. But more was only better and with the pack growing steadily, it was all only in their best interest.
Frankly, her patience ran thin for the Creek and smelling them at all on their borders was troublesome. She had only just got the stench of their previous intrusion out of her nose and here they came with another one. Ame could spare them no niceties and felt her hackles stiffening at the mere thought of the wolves she had once ran among.
Methodically, she marked a spot next to a particular leafy plant, scratched the dirt then jogged on towards the next place in need of scent. She was not a fan of the repetition but it was this motion that brought her into the path of another -- a face she did not know. Her attentions shifted and her expression changed to one of significantly more interest, with ears forward and tail lifted just some.
He was a curious looking creature, both in stature and colorations. Her eyes were fast to his markings of course. While not as glaring as Kodokuna's white and black split, they were unlike the average she saw. Ame whuffed a low greeting and approached him to see how he would receive her. She was interested in knowing more, for he was a new packmate of hers after all.
