Walk | Talk | Think Though he paced along the outward edge of the territory, as if afraid to taint himself with the memory of the pack that once resided here, Rune's gaze continued to glance inward. His stay had been short, and there was much of it he had not seen due to an unshakable discomfort while living there, so very little struck chords within his memory. He supposed it all looked the same, supposed not much had changed in the months, nearly a year, that he had been gone. But any and all trace of the pack that had tormented so many was gone, its border a long forgotten memory now. That, at least, was a relief. It was quiet enough to fool him into thinking it empty, abandoned, but only until the tall, timber-colored male materialized out of the vegetation with a youngster in tow, his lengthy strides bringing him undoubtedly closer to Rune. The apparent approach caused the Guardian to stop and stand firm, his posture lifted in reflection of the responsibility he wielded now as ruler of Secretua, even if Secretua was somewhere behind him. His brows drawn together, the look on his face as stern as it ever was, the blue-eyed wolf assessed the lanky wolf who greeted him as if in recognition and failed to draw any correlations himself. How was it that he recognized him? Where had they met before? No explanation was given, just a name offered, and even that failed to ignite any spark of clarity. This Scorpion was still nothing more than a stranger. Briefly Rune's eyes flickered down to the youth that Scorpion had brought along, assuming some sort of relation there, and up and over the female who had quietly stepped up to join them, before his puzzled gaze fixed on the tall male and a question, direct and unrelated to the stranger's inquiry, was asked.
