Mount Apikuni someday

When he saw Rannoch, Nikai was excited at first — a wolf that might wish to join Easthollow! — then disappointed — it was Rannoch, who already had a pack — and then excited again — because it was Rannoch! The rollercoaster of emotion didn't show much, since he was still far away at the time, but Nikai approached Rannoch with a cheerful wave of his tail.

"Hi Rannoch! Are you out exploring too?" he asked with a soft smile. He couldn't help but feel a little like he was already half part of Northstar Vale, even though he and Keoni were also still very much a part of Easthollow. There was just something welcoming about Rannoch and his band of wolves.
