Soon the male had caught a rather hot trail and his tail began to wag in excitement as he took off on the trail, heading down the river to try and find the prey the trail belonged to. He was excited to track it down, take it down, and return home with his prize. He wanted to help the pack as much as he could and with his rank he had to keep his efforts active. He didn't want Heather to think he was slacking on his duties.
He was off on the trail running down river with his nose to the ground, though something pulled his concentration. A female called out to him wanting him to wait. He slowed to a stop raising his head with his ears perked forward. He was itching to chase down a meal, but he wasn't a rude man. If someone wanted to chat, he would chat and hunt another time. He looked in the direction the trail went, before turning himself away and turning around to face the women just as she had caught up and spoke again.
Confusion riddled his face at her words. He didn't recognize her, but yet she had been looking for him? He then looked again and that's when he noticed the white eye patch and his dual gaze zeroed in on it. It was on her right eye, which his was on his left though as far as he knew the eye marking came from his mother's side of the family. He also remembered that it was a strong trait since each of his siblings had the same marking, but Jackson didn't recognize her.
"Looking for me?" he said still a little shocked and unsure how to act in this situation.
