hello

Strai was cautious of the Redbud nook now. His close encounter with the bear had taught him a valuable lesson in paying attention to his surroundings. He had camped out in the tree hollow for the night, with the intention of leaving the territory tomorrow. He had a lot of ground to cover before he felt he was a comfortable distance from those that chased him.

He was just pulling out of the tree hollow when a voice caught his attention. He froze, partly emerged, and looked at the dark newcomer. The other pup had just come into view, and Strai wasn’t certain if they had caught sight of him yet. He started to pull himself slowly into a crouch. Already noting how this wolf was a great deal smaller than him. Aside from their strange eye markings, his eyes didn’t catch on anything. Skipping expertly across their body. Taking note of any details. No weapons, no belongings. Nothing to steal. Nothing worth his time, at any rate. His heartbeat picked up a little. Fight or flee? That was the important question.
