Now apart of this pack Valhalla, Deviant wanted to explore some of the lands they had claimed, see what they had to offer in terms of prey and terrain. The direction he would go in today, East, going as far as their territory went, wanting to do the outer parts first. Steadily he moved, large paws moving over the earth with ease, amber gaze scanning his surroundings as he went. Since he was officially a pack member, he would keep his eyes open for any danger or suspicious activity, just because he was given the rank of a hunter didn't mean he had to put everything in that and nothing else. After a couple of hours of walking he would finally reach his destination, a very odd looking area he ever laid eyes on. It looked as though a large creature took a stick and dragged it along the earth, creating this network of ravines. Carefully he maneuvered atop these holes, watching where he placed his paws, making sure to keep on thicker, sturdier parts that could hold up his large body. "normal. speech. thought. you."

Erani Adravendi

Erani usually stayed around the Plains, but today was one of the days that she chose to extend her walks to the rest of the territory. By now, she knew every pawstep; where to place them to make no noise, and she had gone through with a guide during the nights she would place mud over her own closed eyes, effectively simulating full blindness, until she could pass through just as easily blind as she could with sight. Every bit of her land was committed to her highly detailed mental map, down to the smallest rock formation. A few had been shaken loose, however, so she was here to examine everything, finally, before heading out of the lands to examine the rift Surreal had told her of, the one Erion, Alpine, and Surreal had fallen into. She needed to be sure there were no passages going into Valhalla from there, and if there were, she needed to set guards there. Valhalla would not be taken advantage of. Not if she could help it. So here she was, examining the Gorge, this being the most likely place for an opening from the rift. Snowy paws placed themselves unerringly as she gazed about at the different passages that led off from the main ravine left behind long ago be a river. She knew it had been from a river, from the smoothness of the rocks, and the silt at beneath her paws. Her eyes rose further, to the top of the ravine, in time to catch a shadow as it crossed the opposite side of the wall. She shadowed it for a moment, before she could recognize Deviant?s scent as the breeze turned slightly. Easily, she turned up a ledge path, climbing silently until she fell into step beside the largely sized male with the cross marked left shoulder. ?Good day, Deviant Black. How do you find the pack?? Velvet tones were conversational, friendly, and warmly welcoming. Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Hear" ---- Think

The man went on walking atop the ridges, tail swinging gently behind him in small strokes. Left ear flicked to the side, bird chirping momentarily catching his attention. It didn't appear that there were any rogues in the claimed lands, nose sure to keep sniffing at the light breeze moving around his body. And so he would allow his attention to go towards two bird flying together, rising and falling in their dance. So peaceful. The moment caused his eyes to close, head lifting and taking in a long and deep breath, cool, crisp air filling his lungs for a mere five seconds before he finally released. Relaxing. Till a voice suddenly spoke up beside him. Completely caught off guard, a surprising high toned yip escaped his lips. Something odd since you would expect a man like him to remain collected and aware of his surroundings, and even if a sound came from him, it wouldn't be a small girly yip like the one Deviant made at Erani's ninja sneak. Not only did he squeak, his body had done a small hop to the right and someone managed to turn so that his front half was closer to her than his rear. ?Lady Erani!? Surprised tones spoke, almost with an amused chuckle. His head would swing down to his shoulder, a paw lifting off the ground and pressed against his forehead in clear embarrassment. ?You are a sneaky one.? He added, lifting his head with a small shake. Nerves quickly settling, fur laying flat against his body. He was shocked that she was able to be so silent and unnoticed long enough to appear beside him. Taking a breath the man chuckled once more, warm. ?Besides my Alpha sneaking up on me, I find that it is a friendly little community with looots of members.? Brows raised at the lots part, he never saw such a large pack before, it was quite amazing. "normal. speech. thought. you."

Erani Adravendi

The snowy Alpha Primary grinned at Deviant?s squeak and hop of surprise, the tips of her canines glinting in the sunlight as a low chuckle left her jaws. ?It?s part of being Alpha, being able to move among my lands with no noise and stealth.? Even as she spoke, eyes on him, her paws fell in places that facilitated her silent passage. ?I would like to have everyone learn this stealth. In Druids Moor, it should be a boon to our defenses, if enemies cannot hear us coming through the mists.? Glaciem was on her mind as she spoke; when would they next attack Valhalla? The hard sheen to her eyes softened as Deviant answered her inquiry, a smile gracing her lips. ?Good. That?s what I was aiming for when I reformed Valhalla. It was how it used to be when Cairo was our king? And I wanted his ideals to live on.? From the tone of her voice, and the look in her eyes, it was obvious that Cairo was an important part of her life, no matter that he was physically dead to the world. There was love in her voice, without the grief; after all, she could visit him in her dreams. His appearance in her dreams just before the siege had eased all pain of his loss, and helped to settle her sadness. ?Have you found Twig and Jinxx yet?? Her deep blue gaze turned upward to the cross marked male, brow point lifting in question to match the enquiring tone of her words. Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Hear" ---- Think
