There is a path down, secure and wide enough for Drake to walk it down the hillside. It ends near the pond, but leads him away from it at first, off to the side and around a few rocks and trees.
When he arrives at the pond, the adult wolf is still there, but the cub is gone. Or at least out of sight - Laughs-at-the-Storm doesn't think that this man will be a danger for Saffron, but he's not going to chance much. Safety before curiosity.
Up close, the sense of similarity with Gale is stronger, and Laughs slowly trots towards the man to have an even closer look.
"Hello," he greets him - and it does indeed sound like speech to Drake, though close attention to the wolf while he's talking will reveal that Laughs doesn't strictly make enough sounds to convey that much. Liminal autotranslate also takes into account all other parts of wolf language when conveying sense, and translates body language, scents, and so on also.
