He was up and moving at the sound of the gun shots, sleep a distant memory. [i]Sasha is with him[/i], he thought calmly, but he still moved with considerable speed towards the stairs, only to pause at the sound of growling and the movement of multiple furred bodies nearby. He was turning in that direction when the Geri showed up, her eyes the eerie pale blue of her wolf form. She spotted Marrec immediately, her brow wrinkling in the beginnings of a scowl.

[color=8493ca]“What's going on?”[/color] Her voice was deeper than normal, edged with a growl just waiting to slip into a fuller, more threatening sound.

[color=39b54a]“The Ulfric must be warning someone off – he does that. There's some noise outside, though,” [/color]Marrec mentioned as he moved to slip past Sam and see for himself what was going on. The woman shot him a withering glance before cutting him off, her long legs allowing her to devour the distance between them and back door of the house. Marrec followed in his more leisurely fashion, hardly concerned with all the dominant body language being used against him. 

As the two werewolves approached the large sliding door that spilled onto the deck of the house, they found Aldo to be blocking a large chunk of the door with his body, apparently entranced with the commotion outside. Marrec spotted the Ulfric outside, but didn't see Sasha skulking nearby, and suddenly his curious expression became one of utter seriousness. Ignoring Sam's attempt to talk Aldo out of the way, Marrec used a well-placed elbow to shove the other man out of the way. Without waiting for either of the two werewolves to react, Marrec yanked the sliding door to the side and stepped outside, only to find himself towering over the unknown wolf.

Immediately assured that Markus was safe, Marrec slipped quickly away from the door and crouching wolf so that he stood to the side of the Ulfric, his body language bearing the threat of harm should anyone come too close. Dark eyes tracked the direction of the Ulfric's gaze, following it to the second interloper. Perhaps the cold was bringing strays to them, he thought with some amusement.

After Marrec shoved his way outside with appropriate haste, Sam followed in his wake, deviating to the opposite side of the door so that the new wolf was somewhat surrounded. Her posture was slightly crouched and aggressive, the gleaming hue of wolf eyes staring with alien quality out of a human's face making Sam appear even more predatory. Despite Markus's acceptance of the wolf, the Geri's form thrummed with a readiness to pounce, should the stranger offer violence.
