While he waited, he tried to decifer the different smells at the border and lingering just within, and he noted one that stood outHe waits and lurks and sometimes he leaves his precious Craigs. Today was one such day, and he hunts. He looks for the weaker prey, debating if he hungered or if he wanted to vent his frustrations. To look for the weak, and rend the flesh from the bone. Covet wanted the give and crunch between his teeth, wanted to shake and claw and feel blood oozing from his mouth. He was irritated, it was easy to tell. The fur along his spine was raised, hackles prickling, ears at attention. He needed to listen, to hear what the fields around him had to say. The sounds of pawsteps, of some critter there that might suffer Covet's fangs if he found them.

He slunk in serpentine fashion when he noted the voice, the way it hung in the air and the fact that no other voice responded to it. Someone that was mentally unstable? That could be a bit of fun for him, perhaps. His eyes -- just inky voids -- finally caught sight of the male up ahead, and Covet felt his stomach jerk in anticipation of what could come from this venture. The wolf there looked weak enough to take down.. looked almost sickly thin and not so healthy of fur, either. Yellowed, if Covet's gaze was correct. But Covet was only seeing a backside from here, though the sides did not look like the male was in good shape from the view Covet did have.

A good enough target for him today, he decided. The quiet grace in which he moves had been perfected over the years, and his jaws open as he stalks ever closer to the male. The others were far enough away that he does not worry, and he creeps ever closer and then.. he sprints the rest of the way, aiming to snap jaws on the male's tail and yank before he's darting away again, moving to circle in a vulture-like manner. Right then, now to see if this male was actually weak, or something to mess with. Covet was game for either or. His defenses slid into place; neck scrunched, chin tucked, shoulders pushed forward, legs spread evenly for balance and traction. He was ready for whatever came from this male.
