All You Have Is Your Fire...

Pyralis paid no mind to the clouds that were gathering above her. The wind was out of the north and she could feel it stirring up the clouds and the weather but for now she felt she still had time for a quick trip to the falls. Scampering up the sheer cliffside, Pyralis expertly navigated the paths until she was atop the canyon. Summer was well underway, the dry air cooking the land around her but she knew not far off would be the falls with their fresh, cool water. Panting she continued on, thankful for the shade the clouds provided. Earlier she'd suffered through several hundred degree days of nothing but sunshine. Thankfully, the canyon provided several locations for shade that made the hot days more bearable and it only received a few hours of direct sunlight before one side or the other shaded the whole of the canyon floor.

Exploring wasn't exactly her chosen profession per say, but Alis would be remiss if she didn't learn every nook and cranny of the lands she intended to inhabit for the foreseeable future, right? Boreas was, in her mind, now quite off limits, but Auster was plenty large enough to do a fair amount of wandering without getting bored just yet. And that was why she found herself in another new place, lounging in the water of the falls. She'd found a large rock at the top and her front half rested on it while her hind end was enjoying the cool water. She was mostly soaked, which was fantastic because she didn't plan on overheating and the day was warm. Summer sure had a death grip on the land, bleh.

It was then that she caught a faint trace of a scent on the wind. And, was that the sound of someone approaching? Alis had been doing a lot of running this morning, so she wasn't too eager to stop soaking in the water juuust yet. Instead she waited a few moments before glancing around and peering over the falls to see who might be arriving.

All You Have Is Your Fire...

Pyralis was working her way toward the falls, eager to gaze upon their beauty and spend an afternoon relaxing. She had much to think about. Ashiel had turned the pack over to Razi and while she was a bit disappointed she had to admit he'd made a good choice. Her younger sister was a wise and centered wolf. She'd make a good leader.

Pyralis arrived at the river into which the falls fell and out in the river was a wolf soaking halfway into the water and halfway out. She grinned and cocked her head to the side. "I do hope you aren't stuck. I'm not sure I'm in the mood to chance a daring rescue."

The woman appeared at last, showing herself to be a creature made of shadow, smoke, and dying embers. Resting her chin on her chosen rock, Alis observed with interest while the other woman looked back at her. This lady had to be close to Alis' size, and built like a fighter. Good, fighters were far better company than the meeker sorts that made up other types.

With a catlike grin down at the smokey woman Alis laughed, "Good, if I was a damsel in distress I'd happily be my own knight in shining armor. I think I might look dashing in something metallic and shiny, what do you think?" Batting dark lashes over crimson eyes, the lounging wolf did her best half-assed 'heroic' pose while still laying down halfway in the water.

Goofiness aside, she sobered and eyed the other curiously. "So what brings you to this lovely watery haven? Looking to cool off, or going somewhere?"

ooc: So sorry for the wait!

All You Have Is Your Fire...

The song of a wren filtered through the trees as the breeze picked up, carrying the light scent of storms on the wind. At the moment it seemed the storms would track to the east of them but she'd keep an eye on the winds for she had been ensnared in squalls before when a sudden backshift brought a storm down upon her. She chuckled and winked as the other woman spoke. "Oh yes, I agree. A little something around the collar, a glint at the wrists. Of course knowing how males are you might want to put something shiny near your head to hopefully draw their attention to your face from time to time."

Pyralis slipped elegantly into the water, letting it climb up to the middle of her chest. Ahhhhh… now this hit the spot. She was ready for the heat of summer in Talis to finally give way to fall. She cocked her head at the woman's question. "A little of both. I have some… thinking to do but its impossible in this bearish heat. What about you? I don't believe I've seen you around before."
