Swiftcurrent Creek Crystallize [joining]

When Kaede had first sought out a change of scenery, this was not at all what he had expected. These lands were extremely different from the ones he had left, though not undesireable. The wildlife seemed plentiful enough and a river lay nearby, available for fishing. It was a form of hunting, with his small leggy frame, that he rather preferred. Besides, this was the first pack he had encountered in many days. Fact was, he needed a spot to settle, at least for the winter. He'd scratch their back by helping them to survive and they would return the favor.

If they let him in that is. He could see no reason why they shouldn't. While he wasn't the largest of wolves he had his own assets to bring to the table. He could probably have been happy sticking around his homeland, but when one is a middle child amongst a number of siblings, sometimes the best thing is to seek greener pastures. He would miss his family but knew it was better this way. Besides, there was a lot of world beyond the Makioka borders.

He thought about calling, but instead decided to wait. If none came in time then he would alert them. Seating himself clearly outside of claimed lands, he kept alert for any sign of an approaching member who would be able to assist him in entering.
