The cavalry has arrived

Xeph looked to the strangely colored young woman, with green and black in her coat. She seemed to hold some sort of unprovoked resentment towards him. He glared back at her, curling his lip slightly. "You can talk to me if you've got a problem, little girl," he rumbled - he knew full well that the green beast was much larger than himself, but she was only just a yearling, barely more than a pup. He huffed irritably and looked away from the creature, forcing himself to stare into the distance and let Riv handle it further. Cold silver eyes shifted, and he looked upon the third sibling related to Rivaxorus, daughter of Arian. It had been so long, Xephyris could scarcely recognize her, but there was something charming about knowing he'd seen these siblings as just little pups, toddling around just after leaving the den. They'd grown so much.

He was pulled from his musings as Fiori's pack leader would finally arrive, a look of surprise evident upon his face. Obviously, he hadn't expected so many wolves at his borders and Xeph wouldn't blame him. He'd certainly be a little shocked to see five wolves at his border, and had they not been family, he'd be a little concerned. But the friendly chatter between nephew and uncle loosened any potential tension. Xeph remained silent until Leo asked him who he was, and Riv promptly introduced him. The gray and white man stepped forward, dipping his head politely to the Alpha. "Greetings, Leo," he said in an even tone, "Just as the boy says, my name is Xephyris, and I was once a part of Arian's pack. I have chosen to follow him and that brings me to Fiori. Hopefully I will be accepted within your borders." He fell silent once more, taking a step back and giving the others a chance to say their piece - he would speak again if asked, but by choice would fade into the background.
