Regal head would raise to the heavens to announce his impending arrival. The King was on his way, but as he was clear on the other side of Seracia, it would take a moment or two. He was soaking wet, having been taking a swim in the ocean at the time of the call. Padding onto the warm sand, Gerhardt shook his pelt abruptly and rather violently, trying to dry himself as best as possible. He shook once more before setting off at a decently paced lope, one that would bring him to the opposite border in a few minutes' time. The idea that this might be a future member of Seracia set the King's heart into a jubilant rythm, but the man would not get ahead of himself. It very well could be a representative of another pack, or even a challenger. He hoped that it would not be the latter. His family was finally getting settled, he didn't need any abrupt challenges uprooting their one sense of a firm foundation.

The warm spring air would serve a purpose on this day. Thanks to his high velocity, the King's pelt was nearly dry as he slowed to a trot and arrived on scene. A placid smile graced his features as his tail wagged back and forth slowly in greeting. He dipped his head kindly and allowed his violet eyes to sweep over the pair. Both female, they appeared to not be an imminent threat, and so his posture relaxed ever so slightly, though his tail did flag upward to display his status here. Baritone notes would resound. Good day, ladies. My name is Gerhardt Mathias. What is it that brings two travelers to my borders? The tri-colored man would remain standing for courtesy's sake, eyes bordering between curiosity and slight suspicion. It was only natural for a King to question the motives of wolves standing at his borders. One could never be too careful. The King turned his head to note the boy approaching the scene, his son, Maverick. Might I introduce my son, Maverick, crowned Prince of these lands. It would be the first time he uttered these words to anyone else but himself and his wife. They had discussed it and it seemed Maverick was most fitting for the job. The boy would be formally appointed at a later date.
