Cricket Creek Bog we can dine with the biosphere

Kallik had separated from his cousin only to see if there was something for them to hunt, but when his search came up with nothing, he quickly turned around and sought Merrit's trail.

It hadn't taken him too long to find the other man, but it became clear that he had been busy. There were two others with him when he found his cousin, and he could feel the tension that hung between the pair and his family. Protective, possessive anger swelled in his chest then. As someone who was mostly quiet unless the situation called for words, he had become very good at 'reading the room,' and he could tell that whatever was going on here was not friendly. What he couldn't be sure of was that there was any aggressive intent from the pair of strangers. Still, he sidled up next to Merrit, silent as ever, his gaze searching the faces of the unknown wolves. His intent was clear: he was there to protect.
