The black wolven brute stepped onto the land of the ranch, a place forbidden by wolves. At least to him, it seemed that way. He wasn't here for trouble, though. Hah, certainly not. It wasn't like he was afraid of humans or anything, for he could fend for himself, but he was hungry. Hunting wasn't something on his mind, either.

The long-legged, large built hybrid had been about to introduce his pups to his friends when he was interrupted by the scent of an intruder. And before that, he had heard his sister's call from the north. There was trouble; but he needed to deal with things at his home first, and then see to Aminita.

As he rounded the back of the house, there was Shadow, laying in the grass. Certainly not a threatening pose, but for all Aidan knew, he was waiting for an unsuspecting cat or human pass by. However, Aidan wasn't one for making enemies before friends, so he took a less hostile approach than Timber might have. With a gruff bark, he announced his presence if the wolf had not already know it. "What brings you here?" Simple, straight to the point. And as always, the blue-eyed hybrid was ready in case Shadow turned out to be the not-so-friendly kind of stranger that seemed to come to the ranch all too often.

Shadow would have completely dozed off if the hybrid hadn't come just in time. His auds were drooping and his eyes were half shut; just two signs of his nap symtoms. Oh well.

His auds then perked, and he was on his paws in a flash. His eyes searched over the other canine with very mild interest, wondering why he was here. Then it dawned on him; he must be one that lives here.
"I'm on a food hunt, if you have any." he stated in reply, his voice a bit gruff from just waking up a little while ago. He shook his rather thick pelt and then focused on the hybrid again, wondering what he'de have to say to his answer.

Shadow

HERITAGE;
Timber Wolf
CURSED;
Male
APPEARANCE;
Hueless colors cover over a slender and well-sculpted frame of nice muscling. He is mostly black all over, but also has some silver as well, with a slight "saddle" mark on his scruff and upper back area. The top of his neck is silver, but it all has some black hairs mixed in. The top back part of his head is also silver. Both colors are interlaced with each other all over his body, except for his chest, throat, muzzle, and ears which are pure black. Both eyes are a bright yellow.
PERSONALITY;
Nobody really knows his true personality. He's just like a shadow; dark and mysterious. He doesn't enjoy talking much, and he's a wolf of few words. Pack life isn't really for him. He doesn't like submitting, and thinks that everyone should have their rightful freedom to do as they please. While he's usually more on the peaceful side, don't get on his bad side. At times he seems evil, but he really isn't. It's just the way he sometimes appears.

None
DISLIKED;
None

Seeing that Aidan had already arrived and was not being actively attacked, Rihanne took her time coming to his side, smiling softly while her wary eyes roved over the newcomer. She came in time to hear him speak, and replied, There is much food here, always aplenty, if you do not harm the masters. Where come you from?

Her voice had slipped into its more formal tone, the only betraying sign that she was completely on her guard. It startled most canines who didn't know her well, but Minx heard the tone and immediately was on guard as well. Living wild as she had, Minx had grown used to wolves and was not normally so guarded against them, but if Rihanne was nervous there was always a reason. Minx's way of taking up a guard was not as subtle as Rihanne's, but it didn't need to be as she was not a current resident of the ranch. She could be defensively aggressive without having to explain her motives. So she didn't bother to hide that she was weighing this stranger, watching him.
