Permafrost Hollows otherwise they would not be worshipped

a relative quiet that encompasses the hollows. the more wintersbane walks it, mulling it over in his mind, the more he thinks he might've found a good place to settle ...but this is just the surface of the territory. what lies hidden in the depths of the caverns and tunnels below is yet undiscovered. he'd need to make a thorough vetting of the territory, of the tunnels and caverns below but thus far he's pretty sold. if for the reasons that a: there are no other packs in the immediate area and b: the prey is plentiful here. two perfectly damn good reasons to stake a claim on a territory; and there was the added bonus of it having a very 'enok tundra' feel to it.

a soft chuff breaks the tundrian out of his thoughts and he turns to face the male, glacial gaze assessing him. he's an agouti mixture of greys, browns and creams. the posture of submissive neutrality does not go unnoticed by wintersbane's keen eye either. it appeases the territorial fiend within — though as he's yet to stake a physical claim yet he supposes he has no actual right to be territorial. terveisiä vieraita, the fact that the tundrian slips from betwixt wintersbane's lips without him catching himself only serves to prove that this territory would make a fine home for the vartija. greetings stranger. he offers in common tongue now, a neutral and amiable wag of his tail given.

a lift of his chin is followed by a low chuckle that lingers in his chest like the rumble of a distant thunderstorm. who says i'm not home? he poses the question to the stranger with a quirk of a brow. i think this is a great place to plant roots. spoken with absolute sincerity. although i haven't gotten the chance to explore the tunnels and caverns below. there's still a good bit to vet. a shrug of his shoulders is given. it's not as if he doesn't have time.

what about you? wintersbane asks in return, though an assesment of the other male's scent tells wintersbane that he's lone ...or at the very least it's been some time since he's been around a pack.
