One Lonely Beastie I Be

"Speech"

Leo would be the first to admit that he had been doing few patrols than he normally did. For a long time, especially after the bear attack, he had been hyper vigilant of Fiori's borders. However, ever since he began to grow closer to Carletta and ever since he had been forcing himself to focus more on his family he had eased back on his patrols. He had comforted himself with the knowledge that Heather and Lionel had both taken on some of the duty, but perhaps he shouldn't have let himself relax.

The man's scent caught his attention, the pack scent intermingling with his own reminding him of the tusked man that had visited a while ago. He hadn't been sure of the man then and now he was beginning to question the pack in its entirety. It was a shame because he had quite liked Chaos' predecessor. He hurried toward the stranger and saw his children had arrived ahead of him. He came to stand between Lionel and Heather with his hackles bristling just in time to hear the man greet them in some slurred, accented tone. Leo didn't know what this man was playing at, but whether he was legitimately impaired or just plain dumb there was no excuse for another pack wolf to be on his territory. "Leave," was his simple command with a growl to his voice, his tail high and stance leaving to question that he was the leader here.
