Stressed. Rune could not remember a time when he had been as stressed as he felt lately. Living inside of Covari was surely a close second since he had never been able to get comfortable there, but it was still nothing like the new responsibility he felt upon his shoulders as Guardian of his own pack. There was so much he needed to do on a daily basis, so much that he wanted to supervise and watch over to ensure that the pack was running smoothly, and the severe weather that had rolled in off the coast had not helped matters any. He was at it again, watching the progress of all the water that had collected in the Gulley and following the outlets when he heard the bark calling from his pack's border.
Not for the first time - in fact, it felt like it was becoming something of a habit - he stopped his inspection to wander back upward along the rise of the Gulley to the territory's border, stopping a moment to scan the line where his pack stopped in search of the one who had called. Strangely it was empty. Frosty blue eyes narrowing, Rune hesitated a moment before he set off to follow the border, searching to see if he might be able to she whatever stranger had set off a false alarm beside his pack.
His dark paws carried him along swiftly until he caught the scent of the wolf in question, a scent that was tainted by what he suspected to be illness. His nose wrinkled as he followed it and he did not stop until he came upon the wolf lying upon her side there beside his border, looking quite lethargic and obviously out of sorts. His approach was cautious, inspecting the wolf at a distance as he addressed her, "Do you need help?" Quietly he wondered to himself whether his little healer, his daughter Warja, was knowledgeable enough about the plants that grew within their home to be of any help. She might have still been new to the skill, but she was the best Secretua had, and whatever this woman's intention for being here at his border he knew this was still a good opportunity for Warja to practice.
OOC: Would Emma mind if Rune called his daughter to come treat her shoulder assuming Laz is up for jumping in with Warja? o:
