She had been here a few days prior and had been surprised to find the newly laid markers for the pack borders. At the time there was a male near the borders, but he was little help in providing information. He had even offered to call the alpha, but Iolanta had declined it. She would call for him herself, just as she did today. Something about this pack made her stick close to the borders to continue checking things out up until today. There was something familiar in the scent from the wolf himself who laid the strongest markers.
The return howl was vary quick to come, her ears perked at the deep vocals of the young male. Drawing her curiosity more. When the male arrived the somewhat familiarity in his scent lingered to her nose making it twitch. He greeted her with simple words and she dipped her head lightly in return not wanting to disrespect the new king. He didn't seem at this time to poise a threat and she felt that that unless she did something wrong then he wouldn't chase or attack her. She looked behind her and let out a bark calling for her companion to come out from hiding.
Slowly the large snow leopard emerged from a pine tree nearby, climbing down it with ease and then jumping into the soft snow. The cat stayed there, keeping his distance, but remaining in the male's sight so he knew that the creature was there. She turned her bead back to the male before taking a seat where she stood attempting to show him that she was no threat to his pack.
"You leader?" she asked. "Interest in this pack if you have room for more?"
