Coulter passed by the edge of the red, soothing forest, pleased by the elegant fragrance of pine needles. "Ah, what a lovely smell." he growled happily, the words bounding out from deep within his furry chest. He wondered if there was anyone out there who would like to talk to him. "Hello? Is anyone there?" he called, searching the mass of pine and evergreen universe before him.

She had seen him briefly when out looking for herbs, talking to Gerhardt. From the way they acted she assumed he was seeking entrance into the pack, since they seemed to be friendly towards each other, at least, from the little moment she had seen them before continuing on her herb hunting. But now she was finding that scent from the male drifting into her nose on the wind, he was nearby. I should greet him, we're bound to run into each other soon or later. With that thought she suddenly heard a voice from a few yards away, her ears swiveling to the side to catch what they had formed into. Hello? Is anyone there? With a light sigh her paws carried her away from a herb and out from behind a large tree, grey eyes falling upon the white male with a gentle smile. Greetings sir. He voice was soft but strong, easily flowing towards him and reaching his ears. paws continued to carry her forward, closing the distance between her and the male, a wave of her tail sending the scent of her towards him, not yet realizing that she was in heat. I am sorry for not introducing myself, I saw you speaking to King Gerhardt. Tell me, did he welcome you into Seracia? She asked curiously, head tilting to the side slightly and ears perking up. "normal. talk. think. you."

A female came to him. Coulter backed up a little in surprise; normally, nobody would want to talk to him. "Ah, yes, he did let me join his pack." he replied. " My name is Coulter. May I ask yours?"

A smirk formed at the male's reaction to her suddenly showing up, Ah, yes, he did let me join his pack." he replied. " My name is Coulter. May I ask yours? He spoke to her, a nod coming from the shewolf. Ah, well, in that case. Welcome to Seracia Coulter, I am Loccian, one of the pack's healers so if you ever feeling sick or have a wound just look for me and I will fix you up in no time. She introduced herself with a slight bow, just something she did to show others respect. She quickly stood back up with a smile, tail waving behind her as grey eyes looked him over. He had to of been around her age, the only reason she knew was because of his size but then again some wolves could be her age but be way bigger than her since she was small and not all wolves grew the same way. Loccian cleared her throat, turning her head away and letting her gaze look over the forest around them. Did the King give you a rank yet? Or will you have to prove your skills to him first? She asked curiously, looking back over at him with a smile. Some wolves would have to prove their skills then based on them they would be given a certain rank that would suit them, Loccian however did not have to do that since she arrived when the pack had first formed. Either way, she has shown that she knew herbs and healed a few people and even taught some of her skills to the Prince Marverick and his sister Kamala. "normal. talk. think. you."

jupiter illidais "jupiter speech" ? "mercury speech" it had been a year or so since jupiter had bothered to visit the red forest, and as she returned, she saw exactly why: it seemed as if nothing ever changed. it was one of the few single entities of steady consistency in alacritia, and though she had once enjoyed the security of a location that she could always relive memories in, it hadn't taken her long to grow bored of it when she was younger. even now she wouldn't trade the red forest for her precious ludicael. even the consideration of the idea would be, in her mind, regarded as a crime. the celestial-pelted fae came upon a scent that was strikingly familiar, and its meeting with her nose halted her leisurely pace, making her heartbeat quicken at the very slightest. a deep breath cycled through her airways and into her chest, and then released itself from her lips in an attempt to calm the thoughts that had suddenly raced through her mind, as well as the very slight pain in her abdomen. can it be? she wondered as she continued in her advance. voices began to make their way into her ear, and the moment she could make out their words, she knew that neither of them was the wolf she thought they had been. a nearly-disappointed sigh exited her, but she continued forward in her path, knowing that she could save ger some work in hunting down all of his members to inform them of the upcoming games. she came into view soon enough to pick up on the female's final portion of dialogue, and smiled slightly at how perfect the set-up was to deliver the message. "greetings," she said softly after a moment's hesitation. her violet gaze traveled, switching back and forth between the two present seracians. "jupiter illiadis, alpha of ludicael," she introduced, still smiling as she settled down onto her haunches. she wondered if they knew about the new alliance and the upcoming games yet, but either way it was only proper that a few of seracia's wolves know who their pack was allied with. it was always nice to put a face with a name, no? "i apologize for my interruption, but i thought it'd only be polite to introduce myself, considering the alliance and all, and the opportunity for everyone to prove themselves..." she trailed off, raising an eyebrow as she examined them, looking for any sign as to whether or not gerhardt had informed most of his pack about the alliance yet. it'd hardly been a day, but he was quite the opportunist, as she had learned, she she might have already been beat to the job. ? 446 words ? [ o o c ; ] hope you don't mind if i jump in. cx

?I think our alpha has given me the rank of clergy. However, I am not sure if I have truly proven myself to him yet.? Coulter replied. Sensing another wolf?s presence, and hearing her voice, he turned to Jupiter and bowed his head respectfully. ?Hello there. It is an honor to meet you, Jupiter. I did not know of an alliance between my pack and yours. It is good to have allies. I offer you my congratulations.?

Ears perked up as the male spoke, telling her that the King made him a clergy and that he wasn't sure if he had proven himself yet. She gave a nod of her head to this and she was about to say something about it but the scent of another suddenly filled her nose, not that of a Seracian or loner. Her head turned, following the direction the wind brought it, an oddly colored wolf suddenly approaching them. Since she didn't seem aggressive the shewolf dipped her head in greeting to the shewolf, looking to Coulter for a moment then back to the other shewolf. She greeted herself as Jupiter, alpha of Ludicael. Oh yes, Jupiter! King Gerhardt had held a meeting talking about the alliance between them and Ludicael. She apologized for interrupting which only caused the small shewolf to shake her head with a small chuckle. No no, it is alright. It is a pleasure to meet you, I am Contessa Loccian, Seracia's Head Healer at the moment. She dipped bowed to the larger shewolf out of respect. Our King did announce the alliance, and the event that would be happening soon. I am excited to see the activites. It wasn't until then that she realized that she forgot that she had something important to do. She dipped her head to the two wolves, taking a step back. I am sorry but I just remembered something i must do, I apologise for leaving so suddenly. I shall see you at the event. With that the shewolf turned away and quickly made her way towards Seracia. -EXIT LOCCIAN- "normal. talk. think. you."
