Finally home :)

The boy may there until a wolf came up that he did not know. For a moment his fur bristled along his back wondering if this stranger was friendly or not. But as it settled the boy remembered that he couldn't judge one right away right? So he waited for him to speak. And speak did he do; the man asked him if he was ok. It was in almost of a soothing rumble to his ears. The boy noted the caring tone that fell from his maw. White lines ears perked up once more as he looked up at the wolf and unfurled himself. The boy rubbed the tears from his face with a paw before answering.

He nodded before speaking.

"Yes...thank you mister...I think I just felt a bit overwhelmed is all. I haven't seen my mudder(mother) in a day or so and I kind of miss her. And my fadder(father) is out on a pack duty thingy. Would you have happened to come across either of them in your travels sir?" he asked eagerly as his gray tipped tail wagged once in anticipation for the answer.

Ryker averted his aqua blue gaze with a green flint in each back to the sky. Then looking back to the male before him he spoke once more.

"I'm sorry, I forgot my manners. My name is Ryker Tsarev...what may yours be? And I'm sure you can't quite answer my question without knowing who my parents are. They're Ookami and Thane Tsarev. " he said as he started to recover more.

The pup looked up at the male with wonder. Ryker wondered how he would look when he's older. Certainty the dark gray star underneath his right eye would stand out even better when his puppy fur grows out. And maybe the X's down his back too! The boy was a perfect mix of his mother and father; then again he sometimes wished he could look like his sister with her pelt that looked like stars in the night sky. Or like his brother with his pelt the closest to their mother's. Eother or he was happy in his pelt and was proud of it. So he patiently waited for a reply.
