Sawtooth Spire As You Wish

Deep in thought, the sudden emergence of a light gray female took him by surprise for a moment. She asked where he was going, but there was a term at the end of her sentence he didn't understand. He hoped it wouldn't interfere with the understanding of the initial part of her question. Her tone was not friendly but Howl wasn't expecting a warm welcome from someone he didn't know. Perhaps she didn't even know why he was in their territory in the first place. "I was going to obtain some water and perhaps retrieve some game for my mate Star. My name is Howl. I've been given permission from your alpha Mahler to visit her for a short time." he explained. He thought about asking her name but thought it might be best to wait and see what her response might be first.
