He'd been here before some months ago. He had continue to wander north in search of something great. He had found nothing but much colder, and harsh terrain. He had no mind to return east, or return west. His thoughts often flickered to his last meetings with fellow wolves. Most were brief, a mere exchange of information, and sometimes he'd be lucky enough to convince one to take part in a hunt. The snow though slow to come was only getting worse. He could find no where to his liking in where he wished to stay. He truthfully was starting to go mad with his own company. Repeating the past only seemed to set his fuse, making a bad mood become his only one. There was something that seemed to constantly repeat itself. the peaceful spring protected in the deadly woods. The dark coated lady he had met. It seemed to be his one hope of finding other life out there, and maybe means to fill his stomach. He meandered his way back to the lands of Relic Lore seeking out the spring. The male was soon surprised by dozens of scents of none other than wolves. He was astonished he had not known how many were about. Very eagerly he sought to find a face to what his nose was telling him.


Rather fate or dumb luck he ended up coming to the border's of Copper Rock Creek where it was clear crossing any further would be requesting a death wish. He studied the border's scent trying to collect all the information he could. It was a pack of two leaders, somewhat small he guessed. To only know if they would accept him, or chase him. The last thing he wanted to do was fight or flee. He had already burned away some of his muscle from his lack of meals. What choice did he have. Sit and wait? He wasn't fond of calling. He really wanted to be sure this could be a potential new home. A snort, he decidely backed away from the strong line, and into the open. There the blond male would recline to his haunches, and wait.

He did not understand how so, but he nodded his head to show some acknowledgement to the male's comment. Though Vander may appear easy going on the outside, he was wound tight watching every move the scout made. He didn't think it would be a problem to get some information from the younger male. One could only be right so many times. Standing keeping his posture neither high or low he would keep his eyes from looking directly into the orange pair. He wanted to keep himself as neutral as possible. Was an easy feat for him, being kept
in order his whole life.

The question he had hoped to avoid was the first to come. He didn't blink an eye. "It seems more pratical to wait for someone to come along, rather than demand they come meet you." An honest answer for a good question. Blond banner gently swayed behind him. "Look fella, I'm sure you're just doing your job and what not. But, I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm looking for a home. You be the judge if I get to see your leader or not."

He didn't know who Willie was he detected some closeness to her by Kanosak himself. He stored the information away knowing it could be valuable later on. He hadn't counted on the brute being so agreeable, and decided maybe it would not be so hard to make an ally in this territory. Always a plus in his book. Golden eyes shifted upward when he let out a call for his leader. Vander was impressed, and grateful he didn't dilly dally any more. When he asked about him, he decided it would be alright to answer. "I was here back in the spring, came across a wolf and hoped if I came back I'd find more. I've been a loner for a bit, and don't care for it." Words were serious, but he flashed a grin at the end of his sentence. He had enjoyed his freedom, he was craving the normal life of working in a hiarchy, not to mention having a full stomach. Sweeping the countryside for his next meal, and place to rest had lost its lure.


Eventually a tawny, and gray male would step from the nearby brush. It was clear on first sight he was the Leader by the way he prowled toward them. So far the pack seemed promising. He shifted his golden-green eyes away when met by an amber pair. His ears gently shifting at the name Kanosak. When it became silent, he decided to offer both his name. "Vander Lakshmi, " he stated letting his gaze flicker indirectly between the two before settling in the leader's direction.
