Wild Berry Meadow here, with me

He nodded in acknowledgement of the pack. The scent made more sense now, and he was sure that he had bypassed it the day before on his journey through the valley. His distaste for packs stretched so far that he avoided them like the plague, so he was surprised to see someone a distance from their borders. He kept his surprise under wraps as he went to answer her question.

I'm traveling South. I've stopped to wonder the low lands between the mountains for the past few days, but I should be continuing on my way here soon. Omnium knew he would probably be quickly exiting the area in the next few days. There was one lake he had yet to visit that he wished to observe, but it would not take much time from him. You said you just joined? How do you like it? Curiosity clouded his words as they left his maw. The question could be considered invasive, and he would not find disappointment if she were to not answer the directness of it.

He sat still with perked ears as he looked down at her smaller figure. He had only ever been exposed to pack wolves for a fraction of time, and the brute was skeptical on what exactly the benefits were. Perhaps the life of a lone wolf had been too much for some. Maybe it was an ulterior motive for survival.
