Garmir moved ahead amidst the dark towering trees of the wildwood, his ears standing erect and moving around in search of sounds. His poison green eyes, illuminated by the moon in the sky shined brightly as he surveyed the darkness around him. Now with the snow almost gone, Garmir's darker, earthly colored pelt helped him to blend into the surroundings.

He wasn't alone. There was also shadow moving in the darkness, almost invisible in the dead of night that embraced them both. The two were some distance apart from one another, but still withing hearing distance. Garmir asked a question out loud from his leader. "Should we howl? Might attract those damn coyotes on us though." The scarred wolf could hardly believe he had to worry about lesser canines hearing his howl. World was thruly upside down when Coyotes were now roaming and terrorizing the land in groups.

Retracing @Nauja 's trail had not been easy in the darkness but the two wolves had made good progress through the evening and the night. Garmir's earlier fear that Dread might somehow slow him down were clearly not warranted, but Still there was no sign of Tyne and no real scent to follow further.

Even if Garmir might not had fully appriciated Tanebrae being his leader, he always methodically obeyed hierarchy with little question. As the dark male told him to remain silent and then suggested they should spread out instead - although still remain withing ear shot, the earthen male simply nodded and did as he was commanded, diverting his course little bit to the side as the continued forward, his only reply to dread being; "As you wish... my lead."

As the two separated and Garmir was left alone with his thoughts - while still focusing on the search of course - he wondered why he had such a distaste towards Dread being the leader. Kerberos wasn't exactly better option and Dread did seem to respect Treyah or there might have been more resistance with him being sent on this little adventure of theirs. Did he see Dread as threat to the alpha female? In a way.. he had been constructing profiles of each member of the pack and trying to guess how loyal they might be to the only rightful ruler of Charred ash Draw but did he have a right to make such judgements? Why was he always viewing every pack member as potential enemy to Treyah instead of family or ally. In past, he might have not questioned his behaviour or thoughts, but in this new pack.. was it so nessecery? He should talk to dread afterwards to learn more of him.

Hmmm? There was something ahead. Garmir halted for a moment, scanning the near pitch black darkness that surrounded him, his ears rotating around. The sound was coming from ahead, not from his side where his pack mate was conducting his own search. Were it one of the coyotes or something else, Garmir could not quite tell yet. His fur bristled and his nose wrinkled slightly as he allowed low tuned growl escape his maw..

Garmir had ceased growling by the time Dread came next to him, instead staring into the night and awaiting for character to emerge. A wolf it was, clearly and when Dread asked for Tyne by name, the low tuned response they got was enough for Garmir to tell this was the male they had been seeking for. Not a moment too soon for there was clear presence of coyotes lingering in the air. The forest was starting to stink like it was infested by those little shits.

Perhaps because of this - because he wanted to get going as soon as it was possible - Garmir spoke before Tenebrae could say anything further. He might have not come out as most diplomatic sort.. hell, his words could actually be seen as an ominous threat if taken out of context, but this was his way of saying things. Blunt and straight to the point; "We have your mate. You should come with us."

Garmir noticed on hindsight that he propably should have let his higher up explain the situation and thus, he allowed Dread to take more central role in representing Charred Ash Draw, moving one step behind so that he was half the wolf's lenght behind Dread with his tail remaining far lower than what the dark pelted male's did.
