The air was fresh and pleasant, and the day warm. Birds sang softly in the distance, and a breeze skated along the short grass that covered the hills. In the beginning of summer, all was green and fresh. Nagendra loved it. The lands that Imperium controlled were beautiful and lovely, he thought. The hills were stunning, and the farm area a strange thing that fed his curiosity and craving for exploration. After his arrival, he had taken some time to go about and look the places over, each new find reassuring him about joining the pack. Even if it didn’t work out, it would be a good experience.

A few days had passed since Valentine had brought him here, and while he wandered outside a bit, he mostly stayed within to explore. He was keen on making something of himself in here during his stay, and helping out where he could (at least, when he felt like it). At the present moment, he wandered in the wooded areas of the hills. He had found himself no den yet, and didn’t plan on doing so any time soon. Imperium seemed a fairly substantial pack, and Valentine a no-nonsense sort of ruler. Nagendra felt safe enough within that he could sleep the way he liked – wherever he liked. He decided that some nights he would sleep beneath the stars on the hills, out in the open, and sometimes in the cornfields. He would enjoy every inch of the new lands that he had access to. The idea was very exciting.

He smiled to himself as he walked, momentarily lost in thought. Then a howl halted him in his tracks, and he glanced up, the smile gone and ears perking. For him? He didn’t exactly know Valentine’s howl yet, but didn’t think that this was him. Who could it be then? Had he done something wrong already? He felt a faint panic flutter in his heart briefly, and then proceeded to head up the nearest hill to go see what it was. There, a few hills over, he would see who he figured to be the caller, and would promptly trot that way. A slight smile touched to his lips as he approached the black wolf, his tail swaying lightly with his feline gait. ”Hello. Is something the matter?” he asked, coming to a stop a comfortable distance away. Brows tugged together with the faintest hint of questioning, his stance held tall but unassuming.
