Aw shit, here we go again

As he trudged along the stony shores of the lake, Alastor caught a sight of a pale glowing nearby. Immediately going onto high alert, the giant dire brute began to stalk closer toward the source of the glowing orbs, realizing once he came close enough that they were the eyes of a trio of wolf-like dogs. His nerves settled some, his head raising as he studied the three curiously. They were technically intruders in his family's lands, but at the same time he was just relieved they weren't fireflies! Approaching the borzoi with a toothy smile, he greeted the trio with a chipper "Evening!" They seemed to be waiting for something from him, none of them saying a word. After regarding the three, his ebony gaze settled on the dark wolf that looked similar to himself in stature and color. He approached the gruff male, still all smiles. "Well aren't you a chipper fellow. Put on a smile, my good man! You're never fully dressed without one!" Alastor laughed.
