Rudy’s first thought when he spied the form of a pup near the top of the falls was of course to go sneak up on them. As he got a bit closer though he spied it was the new pup Resin had brought in. She was an oddity to him with her shyness. Sure, he had a shyer sister but it was still his sister and that made things between them fine. There was grim but he was more a pain-in-the-tail with an attitude than shy. She was also a little older than him, but not enough that Rudy acknowledges it as much of a difference besides her being a bit larger. Rudyard didn’t hide but made his way up at a relaxed pace towards her, his tail was kept relaxed, and even with his body, tail wagging slightly. Sure, he could be brash, excitable, impulsive, competitive or arrogant but right now he sensed this wasn’t the time for it. Admittedly he wasn’t the noble Art, but he knew not to kick someone when they were down. “Hey,” the words offered quietly, he could smell the fear and could find no reason for it. Rudy had been protected on the pack land and had no way of imagining a reason for her to feel such fear. She wasn’t his real family but he didn’t like the smell of the fear and felt some drive to try and help. The smaller wolf paused once close enough to still be easily heard without him raising his voice more than normal. “It’s safe here you know.” He couldn’t reassure her from whatever terror that plagued her, not able to fathom what it was. “Mom and momma won’t let anything bad in here.” Rudy could talk up a storm to get other wolves to buy into his logic. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t, and yet he could find no other words to offer her at this moment. He needed to know her better before he could make her believe it was truly safe. "Rudyard"
