stupid flounders

Hi diddly ho neighborinos! @Scarlett if she has time but anyone welcome of course!

He knew there was a pack southwest of the hollow, but he knew nothing of them. Since he was the only outrider in the pack save for @Mordecai, who had his den full with responsibilities as the alpha of a fledgling pack, the blue-nosed wolf took it upon himself to seek this pack out and extend a paw of greeting. He was not one to worry about attack and thus was not concerned will allies per se, but he did think it wise to meet the neighbors and was optimistic enough to hope the two packs could be friendly toward one another. He howled a short note to @Harlyn and her beau to let them know where he was going, and then set out.

It was noon before he drew near to the valley, the wind in his face letting him know he was close to their borders. He made no attempt to conceal his easy stride as he flitted around their scent markers, choosing open areas in which to walk and stand as he searched for a member of the pack to speak to. When he did not immediately see anyone, he inclined his head and howled his friendly request to speak to a leader, if one was available.
