Striker's eyes scanned the the Meadow while he leaned against a tree, his intentions set on 'welcoming' the new students to the Academy. His ears were  the first indicator of someone approaching the clearing in the middle of the Academy. He watched as Aiki made her way into square and begin sketching in a book. He turned to Gem, who was busy relaxing to notice someone had arrived. Striker clicked his tongue to get his packmate's attention, a method they've used before.<br/><br/>Sitting on the ground, Gem turned her head in Striker's direction, her eyes glaring at him for interrupting her relaxation time. Gem growled at him, her canines flashing at him, similar to as if she were in wolf form. These were one of the abilities, she first learned at the Academy, was to adapt small features of her wolf form into him such as the growling or canines showing.<br/><br/>Though, Striker's alpha instinct took over, forcing her instinct to submit to his doing. Gem gave another growl before rising to her feet and following him over to Aiki. She stepped forward to take the lead as they approached the girl, not wanting to startle Aiki. "Hi, you're new here, right?" Gem spoke softly, a small smile crossing her face. "I'm Gem and that's Striker, we're the wolf pack here at the school."
