The welcome wagon includes fruitcake!

Eligos hadn't been expecting visitors so soon after establishing their claim on these lands, but he wasn't displeased by it. After all, if he had been trying to hide he wpuld have kept the pack in Auster, rather than moving up among the rest of the packs. So when he heard the call he was quick to put aside the work he was doing tidying the cave he had chosen - small, since it was just for him and the malinois puppies, but if the occasion came that he were to welcome a mate and pups as an Abraxas should plan for to carry on the bloodline there were many larger caves that would be suitable to move into.

The pups trotted along at his heels as he moved out of the canyon and towards the lake territory border, currently somewhat cowed as they had shredded one of his sleeping furs and gotten a severe setdown for it, as it had been a particularly nice jaguar fir that would be much harder to replace in the north.

Waiting there was an older male, smaller and pale with odd two-toned eyes. Eligos studied him as he strode towards the border, and some yards away he gave the pups a curt "stay" - which dropped them obediently though they wriggled with clear impatience - and continued on alone. He stopped on his side of the border, inclining his head infinitesimally. "Greetings," he rumbled in his quiet, slow way. "What brings you to Aerie?"
