Wheelin' and Dealin'

The sound of a young wolf howling at the border, caught her attention. She dropped the last of the grass seeds at her feet, and cast one last look at the Thicket. It would still be there for her to work on later, after all, she knew.

She fell into an easy lope as she moved through the thicket and into the rapids, jumping at a shallow point of the stream and making her way with easily familiarity to the border. Her eyes caught the three mismatched colored wolves, and the scent of Valhall on their coats. She was surprised to see three young wolves by themselves this far from home, but didn’t show it. Instead, she offered them all a friendly smile. “Hello, and welcome to Abaven, I’m Shaye, the Alpha here” she introduced herself and the pack first, through they clearly already knew about Abaven, and likely knew the name of its Alpha.

At least now they knew who they were dealing with. “How can I help you?’ she asked, wondering if Aurielle needed help with something. Perhaps she had even heard of the fire, and had sent these three to get some work experience. She eyed them critically as she tried to guess the reason for their appearance.
