Panther Park you gonna get more than you bargained for tonight

one thing arcturus had never quite learned to expect, was the sudden approach of another wolf. in moonspear, he largely kept to his family only - wolves did not simply walk up to him in that icy reach, and he was inexperienced enough with outside jaunts to come to expect greetings from passerbys. as it was he jolted slightly as he heard a voice, and turning around, caught the freckled expression of an older wolf before him.

the speckles on his face was the first thing arcturus noticed -- followed by the glaring absence of a hind limb. his ears fell back in surprise, and he wanted to ask - what happened to your leg? but he was still uncollected from being surprised moments before. taking a few seconds to ritualistically examine nikai, his stump, his features, his positive body language, arcturus at last managed an obviously labored and loquacious reply.

"hullo."

so garrulous, really.
