"Speech"
|| Thoughts

The sunlight swirled about, a gentle breeze carrying the scent of fresh air. The clouds, tinged with grey, hinted at rain but she hoped it would pass. Her bodice, the color of daffodils, seemed to turn to a gentle canary as the clouds moved in. Even her usual cotton ears and toe tips appeared a shade darker, like chiffon. The parakeet pools shimmered around at her surroundings. Taking in the emerald-like ocean with fossil-like stones among the areas of dirt that helped with concealing secrets.

Rabbits retreated to their burrows as Identification patrolled confidently through the land. Her nose close to the ground, as if soaking in the various scents left by others who had traveled through. A soft snort escaped her, as she started to soil her paws, digging as though something had sparked her interest. Something elusive, buried beneath the muddy surface as rain began to fall gently.

The sounds of another approaching were silenced as Fic continued to dig, oblivious to the fact that someone or something could easily sneak up on her..

Atreyu

Ugh, rain, Atreyu wasn't truly a fan of it. Her metallic coat seemed to shimmer as the light rain fell around her. Walking to a place the locals had called Fossil Ridge, the feline-pelted woman held herself with a regal air today. Taking in the sights around her, those holographic eyes dart to a shift in the dirt around the bend. Something or someone was digging here, and Atreyu had to admit she was a bit curious. Rounding the corner, the spotted dire wolf tilted her head, watching the woman for a moment while she dug around in the dirt. Clearing her throat, Atreyu spoke warmly, "Hello." It was a simple greeting, but she did not wish to startle the blonde stranger. Though, she may have by mistake. It wasn't often that Atreyu let herself be young, having been raised to grow up too fast. Maybe the stranger would let her join in on this excavation. OOC: Sorry it's so short...

Identification was so intune with digging her paws becoming muddied from the soil and the rain. However it didn't seem to upset her one bit. Different scents gathering around her as her tail danced for a moment then falling still behind her. She should have been aware of the other that was coming closer but nope she was too much occupied with the what would be a small bone, a bone that appeared small that is. But soon the other spoke. Causing Fic's ears to swivel back then forwards. Pulling her face away from the dirt. "Oh hello there."

Unsure if she should introduce herself or not. Not yet anyway, right now didn't seem to be the time too. Not at all, but perhaps she would. As her haunches lowered. "I didn't know someone was there, I am normally not messy. I hope that you don't live here and I am intruding.." The woman spoke out, nose twitching as she sat there, looking back to the bone she was digging or attempting to dig out, as the hole began to fill back up with mud and water. Just her luck!

"Speech!"

Atreyu

Atreyu gave a small smile to the other as she rose up from the hole she was digging. The blonde woman greeted her and Atreyu gave a polite dip of her head, listening as she went on to explain that she didn't often get dirty. "I don't make a habit of it myself, but it sure looks fun! What are you digging for?" Atreyu asked the stranger. "I am Atreyu, by the way, and no you aren't intruding. I don't really live anywhere now." Her usually warm voice was solemn and sad. "I am Atreyu, by the way. I would love to help you if you need it." There was that familiar warmth in her voice, she took a step closer, not wanting to alarm the other. Peering over into the hole, Atreyu noticed it filled back up with water and mud, she was going to need a bath after this. Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Hear" ---- Think

"Speech"
|| "Thoughts"

Identification seemed to give up with digging what ever it was up for the time being, for it seemed that the rain would stop here shortly to make less work for herself. "It is a pleasure to meet you Atreyu." She stated warmly as looking towards the feline colored woman. "This huge bone or what ever it is seemed to catch my attention and I do not know as to why or what ever reason. It seems large, maybe a part of the history here? Maybe something much larger than us. Before we ever traveled these lands." God, she wanted to know everything she possibly could about everything and everywhere.

The rain slowly began to roll to a end. "It's messy work, and I hope it is not as big as it appears, but man is it interesting!" Identification chuckled out as wagging her tail around behind her. She didn't car if the other wanted to help, it would help the day go by faster. Shaking out her coat from the water that fell, as well as the mud that gathered along her underbelly before getting back to steady work with her paws. .

Oh, fly over me, evil angel;
Why can't I breathe, evil angel?

Atreyu shook the water out of her spotted coat, ready to dig in so to speak. "I would love to help you, I haven't seen an actual fossil before!" She got down into the hole with Identification, using her sharp claws to scrape at the earth as best she could. Feline claws were meant for tearing and holding, not truly for digging. She was careful near the thing they were digging out of the ground, not wanting to break it off or damage it in any way. "How did you find this thing anyway, was it sticking up?" She asked the other woman, smiling with a spattering of mud over her face.

Thank the spirits that the rain had stopped, by the time Atreyu was ready for a break there was a good bit of water in the hole. It had been a long time since the dire woman had been this dirty, but she found she rather liked the reminder that she was young. It seemed so much had sat on her shoulders suddenly, maybe things were going to start falling into place soon.
