It was a deuce weird, Shamus thought, the more he thought about it. A rather aged male caring for two young wolves from different packs, a male and a female, neither of which belonged to his own kind. Not only that, but those rather unusual pups were strange each in their own right. One appeared to be an Aven, but with one wing coming out the side. Not a pair, but just one. The other was a strange Arlyne that looked more like a barracuda than a wolf, with a strange fin crawling down his spine. Shamus wondered if they would get any weirder as they reached maturity, but he wasn't going to wait another season to find out. Shamus did not like the strange, because the strange were unpredictable. And his work required a full control of the situation.

Not many hours after he had left the strange group, Shamus came upon a more likely target. A lone shewolf marching around a spring. She appeared to be a Kamarian or an Alvan, however she didn't have a skull mask, so it was more likely the former. Either way she was quite far from either, they were closer to the Hemlock marshes than anything. A Kamarian, huh? They were an interesting set. Shamus was always intrigued in how they were able to control light, or rather, the lack of. It seemed like a great skill for an illusionist. He still had a few days worth of food on his person, perhaps he could have a little bit of fun with this wolf in the mean time. She didn't seem to have any friends about, if things did go south, he could easily escape without a hitch.

With the subtle smirk that he always wore as he interacted with other wolves, he strode over to the spring the wolf was by. Strutting straight past her, he dipped his head down into the cool water for a well needed drink. The water tasted sweet, and gave him time to think of an approach. Most wolves he came across were astonished enough to see a Saffron, a fabled sighting that was supposed to mean good luck to anyone who saw one. Deciding to take that approach, the crafty wolf raised his head and looked confidently at the shewolf before she got out of sight. With an air of superiority he took a few steps towards her, and he said cheerfully "Well ma'am, it seem like yer bad luck is a going to get a bit better today."
