The she wolf howled and Bloody flattened his ears and bared his teeth more. Crap, there were more around. Damn this rain, it was weakening his senses to see if others were nearby. He wasn't afraid of getting into another fight, but maybe he should just turn and run this time? 

Suddenly, she started talking to him. Her voice, *straightens up*, was soothing. It felt like a river's cool waters had swallowed him into a comfortable hug. He tried not to let that grab a hold of his attention. He listened very closely to her next choice of words. 

/Harm...the little one?/ He tilted his head to look over at the smallish pup that was behind her. He hadn't even noticed it there. His eyes softened. Oh, how it reminded him of....

/Pup...murder..../

He looked back at the female and gave her a look over as he listened. As she finished, he smiled, "I'm not one for making deals with complete strangers, my dear." He began to take a few steps closer and angled his eyes at her. "Your mate shouldn't have left you and your pup alone. This forest is a dangerous place." He knew she didn't say one of the other wolves was her mate, but he took a wild guess. A smile crossed his face. He was very interested in these two.

At that moment, another wolf appeared. His face became serious as he looked over the two adult wolves.
