Behind that picket fence

He grinned at the sight of her, slightly surprised but visibly pleased to see him, pollen dotting her nose. His own tail began to wag behind him, not bothering to hide the way his cheeky grin widened as she greeted him. She seemed pleased at his unconventional greeting, and he decided right then and there that he needed to make an effort to use his family's native tongue more often - at least to those who either had an interest in learning it, or might merely tolerate it. He had a feeling Daelos would, since he'd gone on that herb collecting mission with him, even though he hadn't been very good at it. As he drew closer to her, something about her scent caught him off-guard. Something familiar, something he'd smelled on someone recently... Tyranis, as a matter of fact. And Elias, if he thought back a bit farther. Deciding to dwell on it for awhile, he stopped sniffing and focused on her answer. She'd been pretty well, she said, though her words were just hesitant enough that he wondered if she hadn't really been that great. Maybe something was bothering her? Kai cocked his head, his smile only softening slightly. "I've been pretty well myself," Kai admitted, without the hesitation she had displayed. "Been spending quite a bit of time around these parts." Mount Volkan in particular seemed to be a place he was drawn near, though he hadn't quite gotten the opportunity to explore the territory itself. Though he thought pack structures and claiming land as a principle quite foolish, he respected Elias enough to not cause trouble. At least... not yet. He quirked a brow, briefly turning to the east and toward Mount Volkan, before eyeing Daelos curiously again. "Say, this might be a stretch, but... do you happen to know the Praetor family?" She'd only introduced herself as Daelos, so he had no way of knowing if she was related, though her scent held a familiar note that told him she at least knew of Tyranis and Elias, if nothing else.
