OOC: Eheheheheheeh. I couldn't resist! ^__^
It was nice to get away from the heights of the mountain and simply wander about. He had not *REAL* obligations to the pack afterall.. So he decided to take something of a roadtrip. The large male studiously avoided Swift River pack borders and traveled west. For all he knew, there were no wolves west, and he could find his own way, or even his brother and they could form their OWN pack. AWAY from the blasted mountain. At first, he hadn't thought that there would be wolves out this far, but the faint markings wafting his direction told him otherwise. This time, instead of passing the pack by, he began moving closer to their lands, lowering his nose and snuffling about before arriving at the REAL scent marker.. and not one carried by the wind. Two..three...four different wolf scents? Interesting. Maicoh lifted his shaggy head and glanced around, peering past the borders that made it impossible to realize one was passing through a claimed territory.
Now this was interesting..Who'd have thought there was a pack this far west? It seemed the other two packs had wanted to be neighbors.. what did these wolves have to hide by being so far out? Interesting... A soft, rumbling growl escaped his throat as he scented the aroma of the male wolf in these markers.. the leader he supposed.. The other three were decidedly female. The male had to wonder..could he usurp the male, take his place as leader of a pack, and make his way in the world? Most likely...not. But since the female beta of Midnight Plateu was...next to useless, perhaps he could scout a replacement. A pack was only as strong as its' leaders, and obviously.. none of the other females were going to do anything about it!
The sounds of voices lifted his head, curling his tail over his back as he glanced around, then noted the pair of smaller wolves moving away from the pack lands. How...intriguingly interesting...If one of those wolves was the alpha male, and perhaps the alpha female.. It would be a simple matter of slipping past the borders and finding the pack den. None of the scents were particularly 'fearsome' that he could find at these markers. He had nothing to fear!
