Great Bear Wilderness your eyes so big

atausiq tries to keep himself as occupied as he can: patrolling the borders and hunting for neverwinter's food cache. and when he wasn't doing those things, he spent some time expanding his den to fit him better so he didn't feel so claustrophobic for though there were no structural weaknesses that he could presently detect he was still concerned about the earth collapsing in around him every time he scrapped the roof with his back.

he was patrolling when the howl rises thru the air for him. already nearby, it doesn't take him long to reach the stretch of borders the ocean woman stands before. he'd considered, because she was older than him, that she might not keep to her promise ...but there she was. preening her pelage and looking like a gift sent by the moon itself ( not that he was religious, mind ).

he approaches her with a low chuff of initial greeting, pride tilting his chin upwards. he had no right to be so proud upon the borders, really, he was just a lowly subordinate but like intoxicated by clover's scent atausiq cannot seem to control this newfound side of him. hey, he greets her in what he hopes is a cool, suave manner ( he was still working on that ) with a sway of his tail against his hocks.
