Do I Know You?

Atreides had been on patrol when he had stumbled across the rapidly cooling scent of a young young pup crossing the borders. He scowled at the scent trail in the spring muck, then sighed. He could either go try to track down the pup's mother or Valentine and let them know the little guy had wandered off, and waste time that could possibly result in the death of a puppy way too young to be out of pack borders alone, or he could go track the pup himself. He was reluctant to leave pack borders himself - he wasn't even sure why - but he couldn't let something bad happen to one of Imperium's pups. So he set off on the trace.

He was surprised and concerned to find that the pup had managed to cross several lands, nearly the whole continent most of the way to the coast actually, before Trei caught up with him nosing around another pack's borders. He carefully scented the air and was alarmed to realize that the pack was brand spanking new pack, one he didn't know anything about. For all he knew they could be cannibals, and the appearance of a juicy little puppy on their borders would mean an easy snack - and the grey male himself the main course. Covering his alarm with his usual lazy smile and friendly demeanor to keep from frightening the pup, he approached him. "OK now, you've had your adventure. It's time to go home now. My name is Trei - I am one of Imperium's fighters. I can bring you home."
