Yurei had alot on her mind as she walked through the south region or boreas. Alot had her thoughts traped into an endless sea of concern, sadness and doubt about herself and her future. She was of course in love with Casso and the life they were sharing, she could never tell how happy she was. But it never removed what she had against herself, against all the things that always caused her to hate who she was. After the resent events involving the pack, she was having a bad sensation on her stomach and she barely slept well or ate with the frequency that was healthy. But duty had to be done still and for that she and her wild cat Aki travelled here in order to collect some herbs. And this time after taking a day to craft, on her right side a back pack made of deer hide and ropes of was attached to her side. There she could now have her herbs at range in the case of emergencies but also represented a better help for bringing back any herbs to her pack. And like that she went here to find yarrow and a few more herbs. "Speech"

The brown and black pup roamed the willows as he looked at the various plants with a questionable gaze.  Near him was a young snow leapord and a small mongoose riding on top of it.  High up in the sky, riding the sky was his dad’s vulture to keep an eye on him.  Somewhere around was a much larger snow leopard keeping an eye on him as well.  The boy would not easily be picked off by any predators with all the protection surrounding him.  

Kotori needed to learn all he could about the dumb plants.  Healing wasn’t a thing he loved but it would serve a strong purpose when required.  More than that he wanted to learn about all the herbs and plants to know which could do harm.  Kotori would be sure to lace some form of weapon with poison for serious battles.  So, no matter how little he cared about herbs the benefits were worth it to the proud Fatalis child.
The young boy stopped when he heard dad’s bird let out a Ki-Ki-Ki and raised up his ears.  His young cat snarled before softly warning, “Someone’s out there.” Kotori raised his nose up sniffing at the air, gaze searching, and finally noticing a flash of white.  Kotori slowly inched forward staying low to the ground.  Sadly he wasn’t nearly as good at it as the cats were.  The mongoose leaped off the cat and quickly was able to seemingly disappear amongst the woods.

The wolf had a funny pack on it, what was that for?  Was it collecting stuff also?  So far Kotori hadn’t spotted the cat.  “Hi,” Kotori stood up straight and called out, deciding it was probably safe, and ignored the look his young cat gave him of reproach.  Kotori bet dad’s cat was giving him an even worse look from wherever it was.  Kotori felt safe and thus no harm in greeting the stranger.

Both wolf and the wild cat began with the search of yarrow, being it one of the main ingredients in healing and up north they could be rare and even more under winter's touch so it was better to collect them now that there was still plenty of them. And like that, as she found the first bunch of the white petal flowers Aki began grabbing some and adding them to the first pocket. Yurei herself helped with some more after putting them also in the same pocket. But before they could continue Aki sniffed the air detecting guests. "Someon'is coming Yurei". Yurei's ears pinned and looking around she found the form of a pup scored by several creatures that seemed quite intimidating and that alone made the female lower herself a bit in submission. "H...h...hi...." Aki jumped over to the white wolf's back and then stood on her forehead. "Speech"

Kotori was certainly surprised by the submissive gesture but only for a moment.  Maybe she knew he was son to the armada’s warlord, Sirius.  Pride in his bloodline and the submissive gesture by Yurei he moved forward with confidence, the young leopard following along.  The only really fierce one appeared to be the mongoose, it lay on the snow leopard and watched the wolf with that piercing hunter’s gaze.

“So, who are you?” The boy asked casually, “I’m Kotori Fatalis.”  In case she didn’t know even showing the submissive gesture.  “What are you doing out this way?” This time more curiosity added to the question, “You’ve got a bag.  What do you use it for?”  Bags were used to put things in, so what was she looking for in the woods?  She could just like to collect things that looked interesting like Kotori or it could be herbs or anything else his mind hadn’t thought up yet.  

Her chest seemed to be breaking free from her rib cage in fear, and at any approach of the pup and the threatening creatures that accompanied him, she was soon to be in a panic as she always did. Deep in her mind she wanted to run, to go hide with Casso as she always did, as he was the only person that could make her feel safe. But knowing he lost family and felt sad she didn't want to bring more trouble to him so instead of running she decided to stay and try being brave even if that could be the hardest thing she could ever try to do. "I...I am Yurei Praetor..." She said her name as the fear wouldn't leave her speech.Using her mate's surname somehow gave her a sense of safety. "We are here to collect herbs...if we are intruding in your home I...i am sorry...we will leave right away..." She didn't want to die. Others may find this stupid ut if they knew all she went through her whole life they would understand better. "I use it for carrying my herbs back to my pack...but also to have my herbs at a range for emergencies..." "Speech"
