Permafrost Hollows she names conquerors, and the servile regimes they birthed

The chocolate male had the same answer that every other stranger had when Taki confronted them about being too close to the glacier. She was well aware it was technically neutral territory, but that didn't mean she was comfortable with lone wolves hanging out so close to home. As one of the leaders, it was her responsibility to keep the pack safe, and she felt that meant scoping out the glacier's bordering lands for potential threats. 

Still, he could have hurt Curri if he really wanted to. In fact, nothing was stopping him from trying to hurt either them now, except maybe self-preservation. Taki was just as big as he was and had been trained like a soldier from a young age; she could definitely take him. She studied him curiously, some of the accusation leaving her gaze. He was large and bore three scars on his neck. He had explained that this area used to be his home and it intrigued her enough to warrant further interest from the malguk. You lived here before? she asked with a small raise of an eyebrow. She missed her niece's eye roll and attempt to give the stranger playful looks or she would have surely shot her a 'cut it out' look. As cute as she was, she needed to be more careful, and Taki would be sure to talk to her about it later. Maybe she would take Curri exploring more and teach her about scouting so she wouldn't feel the need to go out on her own.
