Having followed along the edge of the lake Reid found himself in a rather beautiful forest. The trees were tall and if his nose was right there was plenty of prey here as well. But he could also smell a pack which meant that somewhere in the area was a border that he didn't want to cross unless he felt like dealing with their fangs and likely a pissed leader. Reid stared at the trees in thought before he shrugged to himself. He would simply have to keep an eye where he stepped that was all.

Following one of the many streams, Reid tried to think of what he was going to do for the Winter. It wasn't like he needed a plan but sometimes it was nice to know what he was doing. Plus this would be his first Winter alone and if the stories his parents had told him were true then he was going to have a rough time as a loner. That didn't mean that he needed to join one now though he mused stopping to lap at the cool liquid. He could travel a bit more yet but the temperatures had slowly been cooling he could feel that so he at least wanted to keep in mind where some of the packs were.

Staring at himself in the water he wondered what he would have to do in order to join one of the packs in the area. A frown flitted across his face before his normal smile slipped back into place. He would cross that bridge when he came to it he decided first he should be thinking about what he wanted today for the day instead of staring at his reflection at the overcast clouds in the water.

Of course, he could take a nap that might be fun too.

Reid continued to stare at his reflection watching the clouds go by above him. Maybe he would take a nap right next to the stream and enjoy the cool liquid again once he woke up. That was an idea that he liked and if some pack wolf came to chase him away then that would be fine too. He would simply make sure that he paid them back when he had the chance that's all.

His thoughts were interrupted by someone making their way towards him. Reid finally looked up from the water to see who had come poking around. Maybe he was going to be chased away sooner than he had expected. That thought was quickly tossed as a tan female stepped into sight. She eyed him before dipping her head to get a drink. Reid raised a brow wondering what was going through her head. She had approached him so did she have a purpose or was she simply here to see who he was and then leave? Inhaling he couldn't smell anything that said she was part of a pack. So she was another loner like him.

A bit confused he waited to see what she would do next.

She finished drinking and lifted her head a smirk spread across her face. To Reid it almost looked she was daring him to do something and to be honest he found it rather amusing. A mischievous grin slid onto his face. If she wanted him to do something then he would. So without further ado, he rather suddenly dropped into a play bow. His forelegs slapping against the water to send it splashing her way while his tail swayed slowly behind him and the smile still on his face. It was his turn to stare at her waiting to see if she would respond back or try and chase his tail from the woods.
