Ouroboros Spine hello neighbor

Takes place just outside the pack's border.

Early that morning Jaws had made a few quick rounds to check on the pack's caches, which were still well stocked with various prey. Confident his gamekeeper 'chores' were in order, and the border's were secure with a combination of Peregrine's unwelcoming reputation and an out-of-the-way location, Jaws decided to leave the packlands for a few hours. Although he had partially explored some of the area surrounding the caldera prior to joining it, there were still areas he had not tread. He felt it prudent he do so, as in his mind he could better police their borders by knowing what lay around them. Truly, it was the realm of the outrider, but in this respect he saw the two trades as a compliment to one another.

So the coywolf set off south, passing the lake where he had first met Dove. He moved at a brisk pace and covered ground efficiently, appreciating the scent-bearing wind in his face which drifted to him the scent of border markers. He came to find the edge of another pack's territory about the same distance from the lake as his, but north of it. The coywolf's paws came to a halt before them, daring not a step past them. Peregrine had mentioned the names of a couple packs but Jaws could not fathom where they were situated relative to his own and thus did not know on whose doorstep he stood.
