Now that Pheonix had stormed off to be his butt self, she decided to explore on her own. She actually asked their mom though, to make sure that she knew where the young girl was going. So she headed down the path to the base of the volcano, peeking out around it to see if anyone was there. When she saw that she was free, her ears pulled forward as the ashen coloured girl took off, racing around the base of the Mount. She giggled in a carefree way, her tail flowing behind her like a banner. She was so glad to be doing this alone, and without her stupid brother. He was so mean all the time, she couldn't stand it! Ashelynn was all by herself! Oh goodness. She was all alone! It hadn't really dawned on her until she thought about it just then. Skidding to a stop, she looked around in a panicked way, her silver eyes opened wide. Pressing her small frame into the warm rock face, she quickly breathed in and out. Her ears pressed flat against her skull, and she tried to slink around to find the path up towards her cave where her mother and Auntie would be waiting. The little girl whined softly, her orange marked legs quivering below her. For once she actually wished that Pheo was here, then she wouldn't be by herself. Ashe hadn't realized that the world was quite so large. "Talk" "You" Think

The male's paws carried him swiftly through the terrain. There wasn't quiet a place like this back home, but he had to take it upon himself to explore further. He was well away from home, everyone knew that. However it wasn't uncommon for members to go out for weeks maybe months before returning. Their leader was no different, and with vali there they'd all be fine. Pan didn't have to worry, if he did he wouldn't be able to concentrate at the task at hand anyway. The male stopped when he spotted a young pup. She looked frightened, making his eyes widened a little as he blinked. Wandered too far from the den? The male let a small smile appear, she probably could lash out at him so he would keep his distance. With that though, he would bark to let her know he was here. "Need help getting home little one?" he asked kindly. Hoping that she wouldn't be too afraid of him. Pan wouldn't dream of doing anything horrible to the little girl. Walk, "Talk" Think

She clung to the side of the rock face, and was about to make her way around again when a bark sounded. She jumped, turning around to see a large, slate blue male heading towards her. She shrank back slightly, her tail wagging nervously. The stranger smiled softly at her, and a tiny smile spread across her lips. He came closer, and she still clung to the volcano in her slightly insecure mood. She had never met another wolf before, and she was slightly unsure about this. When the male spoke, her head tilted to the side. She knew a little bit of English, but it was very limited. Her silver eyes blinked several times as she tried to formulate the words in her mind, clearing her throat as she stood up a little taller. Pheonix tried to act brave, so she could be strong too! "Home there," she said in a broken manner, her accent thick in her puppy voice. To show him where, she pointed her nose up towards the top of the volcano behind her. "I want to see, lot of space. Too much," she squeaked, moving so that she wasn't pushed against the rock anymore. The more she spoke, the more confident she was becoming. He seemed very nice, besides he offered to take her home. She wasn't so scared now that there was someone with her. "You home here?" She asked with a tilt of her head, taking a few steps towards him to sniff at his coat. He smelled different than her family, and her nose wrinkled up slightly. "Smell funny," Ashelynn said with a giggle, her tail wagging as she looked up at the male. "Talk" "You" Think

It seemed that she lived closed by, simply had been out to explore and being a child as she was got scared once she noticed that she was alone. Pan lived around a large family, they dealt with children all the time which was also what he referred to his members as. Her thick accent told him that she was not very good at speaking English. So with that, he would have to rely more on his actions than anything else. A smile still on his face as she spoke, getting more and more comfortable with the man. Yes he indeed smelt funny. "No I am not from here, I come from a foreign land well away from here darling." he answered for a moment. Looking to where she had gestured. "If I become your bodyguard would you like to explore? This place can be dangerous if you aren't careful." he scrunched up his nose in worry. The least that her family needed was for her to get lost and hurt. Yet it was also important for a child to explore their curiosity safely. If they asked him to leave he would, but he'd never do anything to harm the child. "My name is Pan." he used a paw to point towards himself. Walk, "Talk" Think
