Big Salmon Lake If you ask me to

Elwood turned with a level of uncertain tension, as was expected, but didn't show any signs of hostility at her approach. Saena continued drawing nearer until finally he chuffed a response. She halted at nearly the same time. They assessed one another, but she was unable to pick up his scent and he was unable to recognize hers. By the conflict between Dante and Peregrine, they weren't exactly friends, but neither of them could recognize this presently... and even if she had noticed, Saena was unlikely to retreat. With his help, she might be able to go home with more than just a report.

"Are you hunting those?" she asked, glancing at the elk and flicking one ear in their direction while the other trained itself on Elwood. Sure, the idea that a wolf might be hunting a herd of elk solo was kind of silly, and Saena wasn't sure if it was even possible, but asking never hurt anyone. For all she knew, he was the most skilled hunter in all the land and could take down a moose by himself. Oh, how fortunate for her if that was the case!
