Lifting his head, triangular ears shifted as a nearby howl rang within, Riley turned to let his attention fall upon Rage a moment, he nodded once in return to the greeting before bounding forward a few steps toward the call. Turning to peer over his shoulder, he motioned towards Rage to give Faite a basic tour of the territory. "I'll be back soon." he called out, before disappearing within the near shadows.

Rage nodded to Riley's orders, and took his place at Faite's side, turning to her, he tilted his head. "So what brings you here?" he asked, leading her further into the forest.

Emerging from within the shadows, Riley's posture raised to full height, his tail lifting to sway gently above his figure, showing his rank. Swirling orbs studied the two figures as he approached closer, Then pausing as he appeared before them, he spoke, "Who are you, and what reasons have you for coming upon this territory?" he
asked, falling upon his haunches, awaiting a reply.
