Ankyra Sound I'm Brilliant

The howl pierced the air just as Firefly was making his way back along the borderlands. He'd been away for a few days and had a lot to digest — most notably, that he might've had family out in the wilderness after all, and Caiaphas would know for sure. His goal at the moment was to check in with his pack and maybe have a nap, then seek her out — but the howl sounded and he paused among the distant trees until it concluded. The call was for Grezig, which was curious.

Firefly advanced, creeping along the southwestern fringe of the pack's claim; the black spires gradually collected in to the small forest that had once terrified him. Now, as he slunk in to the depths of the woods, he used their obscuring shadows to his advantage. When he emerged from the forest a few minutes later he was faced with a tawny creature - masculine by all accounts - who appeared to be waiting patiently. As he passed near them Firefly took a deep breath to gauge the stranger's health, whether they were pack-affiliated, or whatever — but didn't discover much.

He murmured from the stranger's flank as he overtook his position: If you're lookin' for Grezig, she can't exactly come meet you. Tell me who you are and I might be able to arrange something. The steely tone of his voice - and the assumption of a more dominant posture - would tell the stranger all he would need to know about Firefly; that he was a protector, and that he was serious.
