Teemu’s plan at this point was simple: Cover. Water. Food. Others?
For all he knew, he could be the only wolf here.
Wispy, golden grass sprouted from the sand as he continued to put distance between himself and the ocean. It rustled in the breeze and the tall wolf inhaled, searching the various scents being carried in the air. Above the brine of the ocean, the comforting odor of spruce trees wafted from ahead. A voice disrupted Teemu’s thoughts and he paused, hackles rising briefly at the surprise. This entire situation had him on edge. He turned to look in the direction of the caller - a wolf of white actively trotting toward him.
So there were, in fact, others here in this strange land. As the space between the pair diminished, Teemu wondered if there were more nearby. A pack? Multiple? There was too much uncertainty at the moment. The male lowered his head, and his tail remained in its usual, dropped position, kept close to his hocks.
“Hello,” he greeted, though his voice felt dry and rough. He took in the appearance of her coat - much thicker than his own - and risked a glance at the blue sky and high sun. “I apologize if this is your home. I am only passing through.”
