The large man moved through around the stones, each step calculated. Brilliant topazes observing each stone as he wound around them seeming to seek understanding or meaning from the carvings upon each of the surfaces; he had caught the new scents and with them he knew his world was changing. There had been no news as of yet from Ojiṣẹ, which didn?t exactly put his worries to ease, though he refused to be too pre-occupied till such time that something official was said. With a deep sigh the man eased himself onto his haunches, tilting his head to the side as he stared at one of the rune stones, the carving of a stylized arrow pointing on into the distance.

Large paws would carry the dark pelted wolf from the grave of the one who he had lost. Even now the would still felt fresh, and though all of his tears had been cried for her long ago, as he walked away from her grave it felt like he?d shed a thousand tears. A great sigh would heave from his lips as he walked, purpose in his gait as he fled the scene. He was eager to bed down for a rest. Instead he?d come across the scent of a had-been rival. Neither had expected for Skah to best both of them to become Ojise?s guardian. Curious about his presence within the stones Shai would let himself into Istaqa?s presence. "Brother.." he?d say quietly, greeting him as he did any other member of the tribe. The ambiance of the moment would not be disturbed, and he?d bring himself to kneel before the stone close to the, shorter but heavier, wolf?s side. "Yoruban" "English"

The scent of a onetime rival notified Istaqa of the male coming up behind him, he glanced over his shoulder inclining his head as Shai greeted him. The man turned his attention back to the stone, one ear perked and turned back in the event the bigger male chose to speak then. Istaqa allowed his tail to brush slowly across the ground as a sign that he was not at all bothered by the black boy?s presence despite his lack of words. He had no qualms about a silence settling between them, feeling more natural this way though he was aware it was not necessarily how others felt. Gbọ mi sọrọ,

He?d be able to catch the other male?s eye at his approach, receiving a nod in greeting as he was shown that attention would not be given to lavishly. Curious about what held the man?s attention Shai would accept the invitation, his white marked toes carrying him to sit beside the silent wolf. The Adayemi wolf would find no anxieties in the cover of silence as his lemon tinted eyes would fall on the curious object before them. A symbol would be etched into the rock, he would realize immediately how unnatural its presence really was. With the talks of the northerners it seemed he was feeling a bit nervous about most everything. Shai would feel a repulsion towards it, even though he was curious to know more. His features would swivel towards Istaqa, ears erect and his gaze quizzical. Without words he?d ask if there was any knowledge about the stone. "Yoruban" "English"
