Moore had been sniffing about the burrows in the meadow, at least what he could with all the snow. As much as he could appreciate the area’s winter scenery, finding food had still been difficult. Briefly, he paused, nose stuck deep into the snow. Stale rodent scents and–

A now semi-familiar sound reached his ears. They hadn’t traveled together long, but he’d recognize Hagars’ call for him by now. It didn’t sound as if the other man was far. Curious, Moore tipped his head back and sent out a howl of his own to his companion, signaling his location. It didn’t sound urgent, but still, there’d be no reason to make him wait, and it’s not like he was that far.

The huge wolf began lumbering towards where he heard his friends call, his gait favoring his right hind leg. The ache had been bothersome since he woke up, the throbbing almost enough to be distracting. Still, he’d been determined to explore the area more. Moore continued on until he thought he was close before calling out.

“Hagar? You out there?” He barked out, eyes scanning for his friend.

As Hagar came into view, Moores’ own fluffy tail began to wag, glad to see his friend, albeit curious about the call. Especially when another came with him. Regardless, there was no caution as the huge wolf bumped his own head against Hagars’ in greeting. Upon hearing his friend had chosen to join the stranger, there was no trace of upset. If anything, he was glad his friend had managed to find a group to join up with, recalling it was something he had been seeking when they first met.

"That's great! Y'got your group, then!" His tail continued to wave back and forth, a smile spreading across his features and reaching his eyes.

Even more glad as the stranger presented the same offer to him, charcoal ears perking with interest as she spoke. Amber gaze watched as she stepped closer, thought swirling deep within them. A previous fear reared its ugly head in the back of his mind once more; has he drifted too long to feel comfortable in a group? He shoved the thought back down, giving the stranger a wide grin instead of a worried look.

“It’s good t’meet you as well, stranger,” he dipped his head lightly in response. “Glad to hear Hagar’s joining you. I gotta say, it does sound interesting to me, but I have a few questions. Who else you got on board? And how would the group be run?” As interested as he was, he appreciated his freedom, and wasn’t about to throw it away to be under some form of tyrannical rule. She didn’t seem to hold that air, but wolves could be surprising, he found in his travels.

Moores' head listed to the side as he listened to her explanation. Nothing about that sounded unreasonable; in fact, it sounded ideal. Especially when she spoke of not stealing or lying. Morals varied almost as much as personality, he found. And while they didn't have to align perfectly with his, hearing the stranger talk of what she asked, he felt even more at ease.

Another thing that caught his attention was the fact she mentioned a brother; had it been the same man he ran into yesterday? @Scully had mentioned a sister, but with the mismatched gaze resting on him, it would likely be best to keep the conversation on track. He could always ask later.

"No need t'cover them now, what you've asked of already sounds good," glancing between his friend and the stranger, he straightened his back out and held his head high. "I'd love t'join you and your group. Y'seem respectable, and Hagar is a friend, and I appreciate that you extended the offer."
