animal smells and porcupine quills

Smiling thinly at the offer Sitri extended to him, Mordecai nodded. He would definitely keep Sitri in mind in the event that they were to hunt, though he also had others in mind as well. No doubt the pack would be the largest of those assets, but he thought fondly of those he had hunted with on prior occassions. But there would be time to plan on that later. Testing the air curiosity as Sitri continued speaking, he wondered about the history of the forest around them as well.

“It makes you wonder just what it has seen,” he commented. “For as untouched as this place is, I wonder if another pack has ever resided here. It's hard to believe that we could be the first to claim it for ourselves.” If only the trees and stones could properly tell them their own tales, he thought. And while Mordecai did enjoy a bit of history here and there, he found that nature was not necessarily a creature that dwelled in the past. And as such, he found that he was often the same way.
