To be interrupted in a meal is never a pleasant thing. But for a wolf, it is downright unsafe.

Gargoyle?s yellow repitilain eyes narrowed to golden slits as a stranger, now many paces from the border, made his precense known. From out of the corner of Gargie?s eye, his first thought was that he was seeing Asheni. There was something vaguely familiar about the black and white form ? and indeed the markings were similar. But no. This was no Asheni. This was no Glaciem. Was he utterly insane? For a minute Gargoyle sat there staring mutely, with a bloody feather hanging from his lip.

A sister in the pack?

Gargoyle only barely registered the words. His mind was too hung up on something ? something familiar in the voice. It kept nagging and nagging at the Chief?s mind as the male apologized, now for crossing the border, now for interrupting Gargoyle?s lunch. Both of which had been very unwise, and indeed, in most cases would?ve earned him a growl and raise of hackles. But Gargoyle was so preoccupied that he wasn?t thinking in terms of threats.

?Excuse me? he began in his low, toneless rumble,?but who-? the he-wolf?s eyes opened wide and he jackknifed to his paws. ?Rogue! Rogue- that is you!? One of the male?s rare smiles lightened his Doberman muzzle. His little nub of a tail was sent spinning. ?Gods Above! Don?t you recognize me?! It?s me! Gargie!?

Few things could bring such a warm change to the usually stolid Alpha. But family was one of them! Especially family found in so unlooked for a meeting. Memories of games through the Starlite woods, and play fights in the first Glaciem snow all flooded back. Rogue, the silly little pup with his nose always to the ground had turned into a very different wolf ? but then so had Gargoyle. They?d both had years to twist and mature, and yet here in this meeting, they might as well have been pups again for the silly grin that graced Gargie?s features.
