SpeechSeraphina waited patiently after a resounding howl informed her that one of the pack wolves was coming to meet her. She held herself in a neutral position intent on staying that way unless an Alpha showed up to speak with her. However, to the golden brown she wolf's surprise, the large form trotting towards the border to meet her was a familiar face. Anthem. The name rang through her memories in a pleasant tone as Phina remembered the sparring match they had once had.
He spoke her name with familiarity and Phina smiled as he approached."Anthem." She said in greeting, lowering her head respectfully."Actually, I was looking for someone and I..." Phina's explanation was cut short by another howl carried across the light evening breeze. She looked expectantly in the direction the howl had come from and kept her gaze steady, but also wary as another male wolf came to stand next to Anthem. This wolf was similar in color to herself and also in size, but he held himself in a dominant position. It appeared as though he was the Alpha of this pack so Seraphina lowered her head and tail respectfully.
"I assume you are the Leader here." Seraphina addressed the new arrival politely keeping her eyes focused on his chest so as to avoid disrespectful eye contact. After her statement she looked back and forth between Anthem and the other male. Anthem's reaction to the new wolf's presence would reassure her of her assumption just as surely as the man's words would. Before anything could be clarified, however, another wolf appeared. This one, luckily, was a female. She was tawny in color but lighter than Seraphina's own coloring. The woman was small in build but even so she was larger than Seraphina. Everyone was larger than Seraphina.
The female seemed uneasy, but had enough confidence with her pack mates near to address Seraphina directly. Seraphina nodded in greeting to the woman and then turned to address all three as a group.
"My name is Seraphina Faye. I have met Anthem before and I am glad to meet him again." Phina's intelligent brown gaze fell on Anthem's large form, but she did not smile. This was a time to be professional; though Phina hoped they might have time to speak on friendly terms later."If you remember Anthem, I once told you to look out for my brother, a man named Flyn Faye." Phina paused to see if Anthem remembered her warning and if he had anything to say about the matter. Perhaps he had seen him.
"Well, I am here now for two reasons." Now Seraphina landed her gaze on the handsome Alpha as she explained her presence on his territory."First, I needed a place to pass the night and wanted to make my presence known to the nearby pack before falling asleep just outside their borders. No need for pointless conflict when communication can prevent it." Phina spared a glance at the female as she said this, an assurance that she did not mean any harm nor did she want any trouble."Second, I was hoping to ask if any of you have seen my brother recently. It is of the utmost importance that I find him immediately." Seraphina let her eyes pass from one wolf to another, waiting to see not only what the Alpha had to say about her presence so close to his territory but also if any of them had anything to say about Flyn.
