"Speech!"
Grimshaw had spent his morning training and doing his part to patrol the borders. He knew by now that Ashen wolves were welcome to cross the border and was hardly surprised to find a scent of theirs from time to time, though meeting one of those wolves would be a first. Although he kept mostly to himself, he wanted to be friendly to the others here, even if he couldn't be a social butterfly. He wanted to meet more of the Armada wolves and maybe even form some friendships with some. He could see himself living here for the rest of his life, may as well make the most of it.

He was returning from his patrol when he saw someone wading through the plains that buffered the Armada from inland. A scent on the wind informed him that it was a wolf from Ashen, but Grimshaw approached regardless. They looked similar in age and size, and Grimshaw was more than eager to spar a new face for a change if they were up for it. "Hey! Are you from Ashen?" He called out as he approached, moving in a smooth but slow trot only to slow to a stop some yards away.
