The shifting winds brought the scent of another approaching, Sela turned his gaze into the wind. The scent was faint still, a few hundred strides out still. Unconcerned, the brute turned his attention back toward the woman. Feeling the prickle of the cold under his fur, Sela shook any fledging anxiousness from his pelt.

”My father grew up in a pack far north of here. Our pack, and all the surrounding packs for miles live in almost perpetual winter on land very similar to this. ” Indicating the largely frozen lake and surrounding tundra like climate with the flick of his head.

Just as he opened his jaw to answer her question, the scent on the wind appeared. A small woman, shroud in a coat of thick red and ash fur. Olive green met hazel for a moment in acknowledgement.

My acquaintance here has already told me about the sickness amongst the large prey. I hope you all are faring well. I’d be happy to offer a meal to your caches in payment for any information.”

Having grown up as a lone wolf alongside his father, Sela was well educated on diplomacy and etiquette. This was not the first time he had bartered his skills while travelling.
