The look of Walker's surprise clearly told the pack how unexpected the welcome was. He revelled in it, lifting his head up with pride, content solely with the fact that his pack -did- respect him after all. Even Svan made a semi-accepting comment, and that was all Walker could really ask for of the she-wolf. However, it was Mikhail's words that really made Walker's day - he felt as if his chest was going to burst. It was, by far, one of the happiest moments in Walker's life as a werewolf.

Aaaand then he spotted Niall and Natalia.

His head lowered down and his lip twitched involuntarily, briefly revealing his teeth. There was no growl, but his hackles raised and his body tensed up. Despite the silence from Walker (It was one thing for Walker to open up his telepathic barrier, but it was foolish to even think that Walker would reply) his body language did the talking for him. Never before had there been a clearer demonstration of "I don't trust you and stay the hell away from me" stance, but then again, what else would you expect from Walker?

At the very least, however, he trusted Ivan and Mikhail, two of the strongest, to keep these new ones off his tail. Briefly, he dipped his head in subtle apology to Ivan for getting all uppity about his daughter, hoping that he'd understand that it was natural for Walker to assume the worst possible outcome and prepare for it instead of getting caught unaware. 

As a show of respect for the muttpack's decision and to avoid any further conflict, Walker inhaled deeply, a myriad of scents becoming separate and categorized into different animals in the recesses of Walker's mind. He opened his amber eyes and surveyed the surroundings, completely ignoring the muttpack, and picked it out - some upturned dirt, a few broken twigs, perhaps three metres away from where Walker stood.

Walker flicked his tail - he found the muttpack's prey for the evening, and expected them to follow him if they wanted a meal. Walker trotted off, passing the hoofprint of what appears to be a large buck judging by the depth of the print and the distance between each track.
