When Aleera approached, Cuan's face immediately litup with a warm greeting and the brown, gray and speckled male's tail began to wag as he padded forward. His yellow orbs could spot the wolf coming up one of the paths that led out of a copse of trees. The female was a greyish brown agouti and a smile brimmed on her lips as she introduced herself. The male's ears pricked forward and he lowered his chin in reply.
I'm just looking around- I'm new. And it's Cuan. He was about to add a question when something rustled behind Aleera. His nostrils twitched at the scent, and a flood of anxiety rushed over him. They were far from the pack border, and she was clearly a lone wolf who had ventured into the pack. He felt his guard hairs bristle in apprehension, but didn't move as the black female padded closer.
