Wapun Meadow If you'll ease my mind

Swordfish read the tension in the dark male's body language. He hunched his shoulders and lowered his tail to assure the stranger he meant no harm. Before he could open his mouth to iterate that verbally, a volley of loud barks cracked through the air. The yearling's eyes shifted to apprehend the white figure bounding toward them, following her as the mismatched pair came together. It was obvious within seconds that this was a pair of reuniting friends.

With a small smile on his lips, Swordfish bowed his head and turned. He didn't want to interrupt what was clearly an important moment with his relatively insignificant inquiries. Although he regretted the missed opportunity to meet not one but two wolves and gather information from them, he quickly departed the area, glad to leave them to their reunion.
