Calbrach stepped lightly once the faint smell of wolf registered in his mind. Ever oblivious to the fact that he struck equal - if not greater - fear into the hearts of the numerous canines as their kind did in himself.
His neck ached with the strain of constant circling, searching for the being that he was certain stalked him.
These wolves and their territories. Never a way to tell if you're smelling the scent of a pack of thirty, or merely the errant urine of a loner in need of relief at the time, he thought to himself.

Finally, he felt both relieved and all the more stricken as he sighted a pair of eyes in the distance. Barely visible - in fact he couldn't be certain they were eyes at all - he stood stark still. Against his better judgement, but with a voice in his mind telling him there could easily be a number of the creatures at his back, he sat and called out as loudly - yet shakily - as possible.
"I come in peace. Alone. Alone and in peace. I'd like to stay that way, if it's all the same to you... however many of you there are."

His eyes remained locked onto the shape he believed to be eyes in the bushes, unable to move until the focus strained and it took on strange shapes as he struggled to clearly see what he hoped he saw.
