home is where the heart is; any

[Tamlin]

He was flying overhead when he spotted the running trio and nearly dropped out of the sky in his surprise. His first instinct was not that the wolves were chasing the mare, but that she was running with them - and that they were wolves he did not recognize. He thought he had met all those that moved through Tephra by now! After circling around, he landed a little way off (sometimes landings did not go his way so it was better to be safe). Tamlin had met those that could shift their shape and even someone who could eat fish the way a wolf would, but he had never seen anyone else flanked by wolves. Once all four opaline hooves were on the ground, he immediately trotted over - his warm brown eyes bright and wings folding against his sides. There was something familiar about this mare - the combination of antlers, wolves, and flowers held the possibility that this was a family member he did not know. It did not occur to the young stallion that these things may simply be a coincidence - after all, why would someone not be a part of his family when his family was pretty damn great? His own pack was not with him, which made him a little upset because he couldn’t show off his own friends, but he won’t call them while they are resting on the outskirts of Tephra’s jungle. He stopped a respectful distance away with a bright and almost wild grin. He had a hard time deciding whether he wanted to focus on the pair of wolves or the mare so his eyes flickered back and forth almost constantly as his enthusiasm bubbled over. “Cool! You have wolf friends too?” t a m l i n
