Malleus lingered in the window for several moments as he considered the view laid out before him. This really was a nice little place. The roofed rooms offered shelter from the elements, the walls made the interior easy to defend, and the many windows like the one he now stood in offered a clear view of their surroundings. Hell, if the occupants were inclined to, they could tend their own medicinal garden inside the walls. He tsked and dropped to all fours. Perhaps one day this land would be Abraxas owned, but today was not that day. He couldn't imagine his father would be pleased if he up and moved the pack. Pawsteps in the corridor behind him yanked Malleus from his reverie. He turned to peer across the room and caught a glimpse of a long tan tail as someone passed in front of the doorway. His nose twitched as he searched for the scent of the stranger. A former pack member, perhaps? There was only one way to find out. Warily he padded closer, stopping only once he reached the doorway. Finally the scent of the stranger came to him. It was undeniably feminine, rogue, and as far as he could tell, the woman hadn't belonged to Talis at the time of its takeover. Curiously he peeked through the doorway. "Fascinating place, isn't it?" he said gently, hoping not to frighten her. |
