The resting place upon a large boulder had long since been claimed by the Thorn wolves alpha male Tokino. He had found it soon after claiming the territory and continued to use it throughout the summer and fall. The smooth gray stone had sucked up warmth from the sun most everyday, and had been a great place to lay down. However now that it was chilly and cold out the stone would offer no source of comfort let alone warmth. Instead the touch of it under the Lagina wolf's fur covered paws made him shiver.

Deciding to continue onwards instead of resting at the boulder, Tokino pushes himself forward through the wintry weather towards the borders. The gray male had learned after seeing how Nari's pack was almost destroyed not to allow his pack mates to travel during snow storms and bad weather. He stayed inside the borders at all times, though the male would venture out for just long enough to mark them from time to time.

As the weather had calmed quite a bit and stayed relatively nice; Tokino would take the chance to do a patrol around the territory looking for food, predator, or loner. So he wasn't too far away when a howl sounded ahead of him.

Loping forward, Tokino finally comes into view of the stranger. His icy eyes narrow before pinning the male with a harsh gaze. Upon his slowed approach, Tokino lets his tail sway up into position before raising his head and tipping his chin upwards. He notes the colorless coat, which was common in his family, but a little less common in others. What surprised him further was the other males eyes. They too were colorless, and Tokino had not met any wolf outside of his own family harboring those ghostly orbs. There's a first for everything... Kino's thoughts rumbled about the gray males crown.

Who are you and why have you come to Black Thorn Downs pack borders? Tokino's tenor rings out billowing clouds of warm mist into the cold air.
