Snow could be heard crunching beneath the heavy paws of something travelling quickly. The sun already settled high in the sky as the tawny man made his rounds for the second time that day, lifting a leg here and lifting a leg there to mark the borders of his domain with his scent. The markers didn't need the extra sprucing of male urine, but Vespertio was taking no chances of another loner thinking they could just waltz right into his territory even if they had a friend waiting on the other side of that invisible line. Lines were made for a reason. They kept intruders out and the pack safe. A reason that the yearling girl Rift needed a stern reminder of. So with a continuation of quick footwork his thick winter plush form was carried to a small clearing he found suitable to have the vital conversation with the agouti yearling as his head was thrown back to allow a summons for the girl bellow out from the depths of his throat. Resonating on the snow riddled pines surrounding him. Light snowfall cascading down from above as he waited, rich golden hues of his gaze scouring the treeline for the darkened shadow of the approaching member.
Only yesterday did a stranger breach the security of the pack, daring to cross over into the claimed land of the king in order to seek out the presence of the very wolf he now called upon. Foolishness overcame the girl in allowing him to remain inside the perimeter instead of shooing him off to the borders where he belonged until he could arrive to asses the situation. Although she had made one right move in calling for him. Even if it was a little on the late side. Still in the end the conflict had ended up adding another soul to the pot. A ragged looking man with tears in one ear and no use in his left eye. On top of the fresh wound upon his unorthodox arrival. 'Fallen Tree Cove, home of the deformed and dying.' Vespertio mocked in his head while his haunches came to touch the colorless powder with a solid thump. Hopefully Rift would show up soon. He had more important things to attend to in his kingdom than giving a young wolf a lecture.
