Fracture trod into the sparse plains with the renewed confidence of a wolf with a new home. The ground felt cold beneath his feet, even though the summer sun had chased the frost and snow away. He didn't know a single soul who he'd share this northern territory with, but he intended to put his best paw forward and waste no time learning who these wolves were.

Lifting dark head to the skies he let loose a cheerful howl, though he was exceedingly careful to not sound commanding nor dominant. The sound came out almost infused with a bark, and it ended as abruptly as it started. Surely someone close by would have heard the brief call, and he hoped they might be curious enough to meet their new packmate.

His ears lifted at the call a rabbit held firmly in his jaws as he moved through the pines toward the den he and paradise had chosen for themselves and their children. He had yet to acquaint himself with anyone in the pack that he hadn’t already known but thought that now would be as good a time as any to rectify that. He stashed the rabbit cautiously and moved toward the black male with his head raised and his eyes alert, carrying himself with the cadence of a king as he hadn’t done in so long. “Greetings.” He spoke softly, tipping his head slightly in a show of respect.  Even as a king small pleasantries hadn’t been lost on him; he still greeted everyone properly unless they were openly rude to him, but his posture remained one of confidence and dominance. speaking Thinking

Actaea Praetor Settling in had become a tiresome task, but she had at least completed her first large task. She had gotten her herbs moved from Abaven to here, the pines. The pines had been her chosen spot for her herb den. Right now her herbs were just in a pile, the next step was to get her storage den built. She had already picked a spot, it was just a matter of getting it started and finished in a timely matter. This den of course would not be her sleeping spot, a separate den would be made nearby for that and have a tunnel connecting the two. She would also be digging out a room in between the two dens were patients would stay, keeping them hidden so that if there ever happened to be an attack, they would less likely to be found. She had even considered digging another entrance, though that had not been fully planned yet. When the strange call came from nearby, she would look in the direction of it, ears perked with slight interest. Aside from seeing the new faces the day they arrived, she had not interacted with others. She had been busy and being very selfish with her time wanting to get her tasks done. Now she was realizing she needed a break, a mental break from her work. Although she couldn't say she really wanted to be social, but she knew she had to get familiar with those she was now living with. Slipping on her pack she laid down and let Lorenzo climb into one of the packs before getting up and heading off towards the call. When she arrived she found that Ty had beat her to the punch, a face she wasn't used to seeing regularly. She approached leaving a respectful distance between herself, Ty, and the other male. She recognized the other male as the one who addressed her uncle as 'your grace'. He had been the first to catch up with uncle when they had arrived. "Good to see you again Tyranis." she said before her molten gaze looked to the other male to address him. "I hope your settling in well?" "Speech"

Fracture was pleased that someone had answered his call, though he wasn't comfortable showing it to the massive wolf who'd breeched the tree-line. "Greetings." Dominance poured from the larger male in waves, his stance confident and proud like that of his new king. He wasn't sure who this was- for all he knew he might be Acere's beta -and so he did his best to remain neutral as he approached. These aren't strangers, they're pack now. He repeated to himself internally. "To you as well." Fracture's voice was calm and collected. He observed the titan with curiosity, focusing hard on stilling his mind and body as to not betray his nerves.

Before he could say more, another approached the pair. She was toned in faded purple hues, and Fracture appreciated her toned musculature as she strode forward, a slow realization creeping up on him that this female was not only younger, but taller then he himself was. "What is in the water here that grows such giants?"

"I didn't expect anyone to be able to spare time for greetings this early in the pack's creation." Fracture watched as the female settled away from Tyranis but greeted him by name. So they knew each other, but they weren't family. The realization surprised him; it seemed everyone he'd seen so far had been related in some way. "Thank you for coming. I'm Fracture." He dipped his head low in respect, ears perking forward to catch their replies.

"Speech."
