Dawnlark Plains Anybody there?

much like it had dawn, the sight of a pale wolf across their border raised his hackles in the wake of the maplewood incident, and aditya headed swiftly that way, thankful that his co-leader was already there to back him up. eyes flashing, he pulled to a halt beside dawn and lowered his gaze upon the female, who was not familiar to him. she didn't have the scent of the polar wolves, but she was new, and she was across their border without permission.

"who are you?" he demanded, having missed her explanation. he glanced over to dawn, questioning. "who is she? has she told you anything?" aditya turned to look at the stranger again, mouth firming as he gave her a disgruntled stare. "you do yourself no favors by trespassing," he said censoriously, but there was curiosity in his gaze.

she was built well, with an open, honest face. could this simply be a lone wolf, a potential joiner, with no head for boundaries? the thought was intriguing enough for him to relax the slightest bit, waiting for either of the ladies to speak. after all, chasing away an able-bodied wolf at this point was beyond silly; the pups grew larger and larger, and with the days, more hungry.
