~Matheau~
Upon arriving in Dark Forest territory, Cedric and I were met by a welcome party of Dark Forest members, sent to see us back to the village area. Cedric let out a happy howl, seeing his pack members. They were happy to howl in response and then to eye me curiously.
Cedric's pace slowed a little and I was sure that he was mindlinking his pack, letting them know who I was and why I was with him. My suspicions were confirmed when a series of howls was let out by his pack members.
I let out a huff of laughter and nuzzled him briefly as we headed further into the territory. He gave me a wolfish grin as we neared the edge of the village, the group stopping to shift back and put on some shorts.
Cedric's hand found mine and I gave him a smile as I squeezed his hand gently, "Ready?" he asked.
"Ready."
