Finally his eyes were not as wide and he panted with the exhaustion of his nightmare. He remembered it well. He had been running for his life but not from something, it was toward caribou. Lightning had cracked across the sky and traveled to ground missing him by inches. He leap up but kept on running, but his goal was just out of his reach. It was always out of his reach. His stomach had growled and mouth clogged with saliva at the thought of finally sinking his teeth into one of the beasts. Then finally he fell, tripping, but the strange was that he kept on falling stuck in a dark void until he had awoken with a start.
His eyes finally adjusted to the light and he took in his surroundings. It took him a while to notice the wolf in front of him and his first recollection was the forest and the unfamiliar scent of his new pack. Then he remembered the sounds the wind in the trees, birds high above and rivers in the distance. He swallowed focus his eyes to what was closer to him and that was when he saw her. Her ears flat to her skull and tail raised to the sky. Smoke responded almost instantly, jumping to his feet and tucking his tail between his legs showing he meant no harm and that his previous thrashing had been from his own distress.
Hello there Miss, sorry if I startled you, just a bad dream is all. I'm new here, my name is Smoke, Smoke Kehman. In his own way of saying hello he bowed his head, his equivalent of a human handshake and there he paused to allow the dark female to introduce herself if she wished.
