Feels a little odd to be posting here but I don't see why Gabriel /wouldn't/ be here lol
Roll for Shield
Gabriel was made for the cold weather. His dense, curly fur was speckled with a light layer of snow, for flecks had drifted intermittedly on and off throughout the morning. The wolf was patrolling the Whitewater end of Verdantis' territory, marking it with his scent and checking for any signs of danger. It was then when his ears pricked at the sound of something far off in the distance - an odd sound like something large rubbing against the ground. Wary but confident, he attempted to place a shield on himself as he marched forward, tail risen but head lowered to protect his neck. Pretty soon he found the large, loud shape of a blue lion bumbling about - in Verdantis' territory. He did not immediately make a move. The lion was making absolutely no attempt at hiding himself, and he carried with him some strange wooden thing that was attached to his shoulders. He could make out the head of a pink leopard resting on the edge. Using the trees as cover, Gabriel went around to make sure the two were alone, before rounding back to approach the lion from his right. "Halt," he says, plums of visible breath leaving his maw, "Who are you? Leave the territory of Verdantis at once," he wasn't sure what this male's gain was here, but his voice left no room for negotiation. He kept his foreclaws extended for traction with the earth, ready to make a dash if need be. For all he knew, the lion was just the bait. |
