Cedar Sweep What a cyanide surprise you have kept for my eyes

I'll add more deets to this post once bar n Keres's thread is finished <3

baron carried on from his by chance meeting with the grey she-wolf further into the lands, events still not solidified in his head. he walked casually ahead, doing little more than wandering around aimlessly. out of interest, he'd followed the sharp scent of border markers and without care, walked near them.

inviting trouble? maybe. if he were being honest, he was rusty as shit with his skills and in need of a tune up. a good spar would do the trick, but there wasn't exactly anyone here he'd trust to not take his head. it did not help that he was a slight bit underweight at the moment. he wasn't lacking in muscle but his tuck was thinner than usual, more angular than he typically was. he'd noticed it in his reflection in the river before.

at the voice of a stranger, baron hesitantly stopped and looked over his shoulder, eyes half-lidded as if he were bored. shit, he thought at first sight. this wolf is as tall as me. he sniffed the air, eyes widening when he realized this wolf was a female. if she wasn't just as tall, she was at least heavier than him. he turned on his heel, amber eyes meeting the white she-wolf head on. a huff escaped his mouth and a plume of hot air rose in its place, before cocking his head.

"the hell you want?" annoyance laced his voice, but in his head he was mentally preparing himself for anything. maybe any other time, it would be on his side, but he didn't feel like going to hell today.
