Another appeared quite suddenly, catching him off guard, and he stopped dead in his tracks. The wolf stared at the woman blankly, his eyes blinking slowly at her as she spoke and told him to halt, calling him an interloper in the process, reminding him that he was indeed still considered a stranger in the lands. Wolf felt himself come a bit defensive of his position and his hackles raised in alarm to the situation.

Wolf meant no harm, he was just new and hadn't quite learned his way around the wolves of this place he'd been accepted in, Tiberii had given him permission to wander but this woman just had to go and wiggle into his already troubled brain that he was still stranger... Still Wolf... He had no name yet, no den in the mountainside, hell he didn't even know where the cache was.

Deciding that a defensive stance probably wasn't for the best, for he knew the way of wolves somehow, and decided to let himself relax ever so slightly, hoping that might put the strange woman at ease. I am halted... Wolf grumbled, his shoulders dropping along with the rest of his body relaxing ever so slightly. Wolf felt his tail drop straight and flat behind him while his head lowered to get more on the smaller beings level.
