How did I NOT see this sooner?!
Patrolling had never been something Fluke had excelled at; as part of a nomadic pack, there hadn't been a border to patrol, only a small amount of space to guard if there were pups among them- and he'd been too young and inexperienced the previous year to have been much good as a guard, so instead he'd mostly just been an emotional support to the females of the pack...They were the only ones who seemed to like him, anyway, so he hadn't minded spending time with them as the prepared to give birth, and afterwards, when they needed someone reliable to watch the kids as they went out to hunt. Now, though, he didn't have anyone who needed company or support- but a pack that needed to have its borders reinforced, and with so few wolves to do that, it meant he had to put in double the effort. For Fluke, though, finding the will to be helpful was no problem. But the cardio was kicking his ass.
He happened to be going in the opposite direction of Sequoia, though, and paused when he saw the piebald female coming toward him. For a moment, he feared he might have to intervene and stop the pretty young wolf from trespassing- but it became very obvious within a few seconds of watching her that she to was patrolling. This had to be one of Wildfire's kids- even though she looked nothing like her mother. She was fairly tall and slender- probably younger than him though it was hard to tell. Her coat was something of a novelty for him to see, so he admired her for a moment or two, but easily plucked up the courage to go and greet her. With someone younger than him, it was always easier. He wasn't nearly as intimidated by younger women as he was by older ones- though Wildfire had seemingly been an exception, as she'd made him feel at home right away.
As he got closer, he caught sight of one eye- and then the other, and he fawned over her heterochromia silently, though his eyes brightened and he smiled, a cheeky but kindly smile that made the laugh lines about his eyes crease. Though he couldn't see the exact shade of her eyes, he was able to see the contrast in shade, enough to know that they were different hues and that it wasn't just a trick of the light. "I've never seen anyone that looks anything like you before," He said, his tone clearly indicating that he was in awe. "You must be one of Wildfire's daughters? Kiwi or Sequoia?" He asked, hoping he was right.
