The sage was not so far when the stranger's call came, and she pricked her ears in its direction. Sixsix squawked at her, but she shook her head at him. She arrived to find Alaric already on the scene, and Sialuk gave him a grateful look. He was always quick to answer whomever came to their borders. They appeared to be mid-conversation, and Sialuk approached quietly, wanting more to observe than intervene, given the emprex was here to handle the situation.

Still, she gave the stranger a nod of acknowledgment, not wishing to ignore him. He was in good health, from what she could tell, and his body was strong. There were two small scars that crossed his muzzle, though she could not see the others on his shoulders, due to his thick winter fur.
