steppin on the beach

Hanako didn't really make a habit of patrolling the borders all that often, as she left it to the folks who were more willing and able to fight, should it come to that. After the squabble with Fireside the other day-one she suspected would have consequences somewhere down the line- she figured she might as well increase her presence just a little. Just so she might be able to de-escalate things before they got pushed too far, again. Moving at an easy lope, Hanako was surprised to catch sight of a dark shape lingering on the other side. By no means were they trespassing, nor did Hanako feel any urge to start borking at them till back up came, but she couldn't help but wonder what they wanted. If anything.

Breaking into an easy lope, Hanako sauntered her way over with her tail wagging all the while. She rarely-if ever- carried any aggression in her posture and the same could be said of now.

"Heya." She greeted, her tone a curious trill. "What brings you here?"

It was then she took the time to get a proper look at the stranger, pretty in a sort of plain way. But beyond the inquisitive spark in her eyes, Hanako didn't get the sense she was lurking here for nefarious reasons. Some wolves were just wanderers at heart, even borders weren't enough to quell the urge to leap into the unknown.
