Heyo Distant Neighbor!

He hid the surprise well, but she recognized the flicker of his eyes toward her face and fangs without rancor, a simple smile still in place on her features, nodding as he began to speak. Inside, she definitely got a slight thrill at the thought of forming yet another connection with another pack.

“I’m certainly interested in such an alliance. What is you pack like? What have you in mind to trade?”

From his bearing, she could have assumed that he and his pack were friendly and easy-going. However, her father had told her about the first time the Abraxas had come a-sniffing at Celestial’s wall—at this very spot, in fact. They had tried to pass themselves off as friendly, seeking an alliance. If they had been politer about their approach to the wall and called for the alpha, and not been observed discussing whether or not to sniff about more before calling out, and if Regulus hadn’t already been aware of their family’s doings in the past, it could have been convincing.

Her gut, however, said that this man was friendly, and his demeanor matched that feeling, still, she would remain neutral until she learned more. With Abaven, the Destructions had a good reputation. With Fyri, she’d already met Ignatius and found him a pleasant wolf to speak to, and intelligent. Lirim was family. Kesali were strangers, and so she wanted to know what she’d be dealing with.
