Souzan still wasn't totally sure where he fit into the pack yet, it certainly wasn't an easy process, not like Fyri had been. There he knew exactly where he fit, beside his brother, wherever he was needed. Here he felt like a much smaller cog in a bigger plan and it left him unsure was he needed to do yet. But he was determined to finally stop running. He had to honor Avis' memory by finally living his life, by finally allowing himself to settle.
Part of that was getting a lay of the land, of becoming familiar with his surroundings enough to move with ease and truly feel at home. Then he could take note of herds or potential pitfalls. He was in the process of wandering the pines, taking general notes of where the borders ran and thing of visual note. He was padding back through the thicker part of the pines, towards the inner part of the territory, he was aware of other pack members nearby but chose to keep to himself, for now, still unsure how to approach so many strangers with his less than vocal socialization. It had been easy in Fyri, he'd had Ig or Sephi to help decipher his gestures, they knew the nuances of his notions, knew the difference between a formal nod and an affirming one and one that meant something more specific.
A voice reached him and Souzan stopped, slowly turning his attention towards the white woman, she stood like a ghost among the pines and he'd have thought her a spirit if not for the all too real scars that crisscrossed her form, too real flesh beneath an ethereal pelt. He slowly met her pale blue gaze and gave his massive head a deep dip, the formal greeting he'd been raised to replicate. She asked him if he wished to join and the man swept his gaze towards the morsel at her paws. He lifted his eyes again and met her gaze with an obviously quizzical one. She was offering him her own catch, but he also knew that some wolves were more territorial of their prey, that was usual in his own home... a land with sparse enough to catch let alone to share.
Still she'd offered it to him, so Sou nodded hesitantly, a slow nod that didn't dispel his openly uncertain expression. He took a few hesitant steps towards her and then gestured with his muzzle at her catch, telling her to go ahead first.
