She had left the willows as someone claimed them, yet again chased away from a home. She long ago learned it was pointless to make a den when eventually she would just have to leave it. She had left silently like a ghost as the new pack had moved in, drifting to the gulley. It was peaceful here too but she couldn't hide like she had among the willows. She had loved it there, silently gliding through the willow forest, listening to the soft branches sway and rustle in the breeze.
It was a gloomy day, the sky darkened in the early morning the black clouds. Wind picked out warning of a rain the come. And when it did it was harsh. It was no sweet spring shower but a torrent storm of piercing cold needles and whipping wind. Her light colored fur was drenched in moments, turning the color of mud and clinging to her lithe frame. She did not bow her head to the storm, but kept it level and steady. Each step taking slowly, after all she had not place to go to. Bright green eyes were narrowed trying to see through the screen of rain infront of her. Her mind kept wondering to the red woman, was she ok now? How was her leg healing? And why did she feel compelled to wanting to see her again?
Something Vi has asked Crucifix to do was to find a wolf she had taken under her wing, she wanted to ensure she was looked after and Cru had decided to take the responsibility seriously. A few days had passed now and he had had the chance to talk to most of his members privately to ensure happiness and rank and now he had a moment he could slip out of the reaches of his territory. He hadn't been certain where to begin and had found himself searching fir the girl for a few hours in hopelessness. It was almost a fluke, seeking a moments respite and had moved into Fern Gulley which he knew flourished with life and might offer a tasty morsel. Instead he found himself confronted with the scent of Rohini and with a surprised smile would continue on until he found her.
He stopped before he reached and sat politely on his hunches ?Hey there? he would call out to gain her attention. He wasn't certain where to begin with his story or how she would take it, she might refuse any help from him all together but he had promised to try and that was exactly what he planned to do.
She continued on her sightless path, letting the rain and wind guide her. If the rain wasn't stinging her skin, she wouldn't have minded the weather at all. She had slept many nights in the open on rainy nights, freezing snow falls and steaming summer nights. This she could easily overlook and just keep moving. She missed the red woman, she realized that now. There had seemed to be an easy flow between them, no matter how they had first chanced a glimpse upon each other. Rohini was not one to hold grudges. But she had to distance herself, she couldn't allow herself to grow to close to anyone.
Why must everyone she looked to disappear from her life? Maybe she just had to keep relying on herself always. She wouldn't allow Vir to get to close only to be crushed when she would watch her walk out of her life. No, not like Destruction or Squall, not like the other Seracians, or Epiphron. No not ever again would she suffer through losing someone she could trust and lean on. It was just her in this world and that was it.
A voice caused her to stop mid-step. Ears twitched, flicking water off them before her head would slowly turn and fix an odd marked wolf with her green orbs. Tail flickered at her hocks nervously as she watched him, unsure of his motives. He did not seem threatening, at least not right now. "Hi..." She would respond in a light voice, eyes searching his purple hues with unspoken questions.
She would notice him as he spoke and her paws would cease in their movements as she turned her attention fully on him. He saw then the luminescent orbs that Vi had described to him as they settled questioningly upon him and felt certain that he had found the right wolf. He gave a silent sigh of relief and felt one less weight on his shoulders at that point ? finding her had seemed a daunting task. ?Hey, I'm Crucifix from Old Covari, Vi sent me to find you, Rohini? he would explain, his voice was soft and he remained seated on his hunches to look less threatening and more at ease to the stranger. He wasn't sure what else to add to that statement and had already decided to first see how she took it before proceeding onwards. He would of course attempt to take her under his wing and offer her a place within his pack if she was willing to follow him, that was.
Solstice was so new to him, but already it was a swelling and functional pack that required two territories. His dreams for Solstice was to be a safe haven that people could find and make a home within, perhaps this stranger could see this dream and want it also...
