Northstar Vale Right Beside You

Hiding her thoughts and emotions wasn’t something Meadow did well, and so she studied the male with a great amount of skepticism as he spoke, her eyes drifting from his rather intimidating form to the pile of rabbits that lay at his paws. Mereo was not a pack she was familiar with, but it was apparent the visitor held knowledge of Epoch—not simply by stating the pack’s name but also that the leaders were busy with new life.

What brought a great deal of her skepticism, though, was his statement of felling a goat or deer by himself. He was hefty—sure—but wasn’t that a bit dangerous for a pack that wasn’t even your own? “All by yourself?” Her tone could not hide her disbelief as she blurted the question out before sucking in a sharp breath. Her muzzle tiltied only slightly before she tried to straighten herself, as if she could emanate some form of composure or confidence.

“Do you know the leaders here?” For now, she ignored his question regarding a cache—choosing instead to gain insight to his intentions.
