Stairway to Heaven

There was someone unfamiliar kicking around the borders today. A male, bearing the distinct aroma of the pack. He was, however, decidedly unrelated by blood. This was new and curious to the phoenix, and so he opted to find this other wolf. It didn't take all that long, thankfully. The dark figure, shrouded in tones of oak and ebony, was nosing about the borders. The stance he bore, tail and head high, was odd to the auburn male. What on earth was this mortal up to? After all, there wasn't much to be proud of, with inferior blood such as his. He huffed quietly, and prowled closer.

"Haven't seen you before." he commented idly, sweeping his tail across his heels once or twice. Cerulean gaze glinted as he appraised the older male, wondering what about him had been satisfying enough to Malleus to allow him entry. Perhaps it was those eyes. Bright as arterial spray. "Who're you?" it wasn't too friendly, nor was it outright aggressive. He wanted to know who this was, but he wasn't inclined to waste energy charming it out of him.
