the cattails were charming. oh, how they blew in the wind... it was as if it was whipping away the uncertainties of the world. just not actually whipping. that might be painful for all involved. Bee had rested after going east, lying by the bank of the lake after drinking her fill of the cool waters. she could sense winter was almost upon the land and wondered if she should try to find a suitable den soon. then again, she didn't know if she was staying in Boreas for very long. like the cattails, it was a charming place. full of little mysteries with mysterious people.
the woman would lift her head to watch a firefly's ariel ascend. it buzzed close to her silently, wordlessly, before flickering away. she had remained still enough to see the insect beyond the blinking light and she was thankful for the experience. even if insects were a bit ugly up-close, she'd take it. the autumn night was young still; there was a gentle breeze moving the reeds along a clear path, disturbing the water from stillness. she peered downward, seeing fish in the depths. a small tongue rolled from her mouth, licking her lips thoughtfully.
but she did not get up from her spot, content to be a blemish of green against the greying world around her.

another would approach, but it was clear they hadn't seen her until the last second. she would look up to see a pretty young woman standing a few paces away. her coat was a natural hue from what she could see in the dark. the fireflies did lit her up nicely though. buzzing around her head, highlighting the lovely natural colors of the woman. Willoughby thought she looked very nice, anyway. beauty was in the eye of the beholder; good thing she always felt people were beautiful. all people. all equally.
"oh, my, yes. but it got even lovelier now that I have some company" Bee would add-in with a friendly smile. she had been alone for so long on the road outside of a few sparse encounters. it helped to have someone to talk to, even for a brief moment. her eyes looked away from the pretty female to stare across the soft ripples of the lake. not for the first time, she wondered what this place was called. maybe it was a simple name, maybe it was complex. either way, she wanted to know. twisting her head back to the female, she'd pat the ground next to her with a paw.
inviting her to come closer and look across the lake. but not at all expecting her company so close. "my name is Willoughby."

Ivy Wreckage.
"it is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Ivy." it suited the other woman, though she was too polite to say that else she risk being rude. just in case the woman did not feel her name did suit her. Bee noted the way the fireflies lazily drifted across her line of sight, already deeming this place Firefly Lake without actually knowing that it was called that. sometimes, you had to make your own names up for points of interest. sometimes, they weren't known to even to the natives. and sometimes, very rarely, they had different names.
"no" Willoughby spoke after her brief silence, shaking her head slightly as she addressed Ivy. the shake was slight and delicate. "I just arrived from the north, where I entered this land... before that, I had traveled for a few moons alone" a soft smile reappeared on her face as she stared across the lake once more. now with the company, she didn't feel so alone. it had been only herself for miles, having lost her significant other a year prior. she never did seem to remain in one place for long after that. "do you live in this land?"

Miss Ivy didn't seem like much of a talker, but the point was that the woman was trying. Willoughby could appreciate that. she also knew that compared to most wolves, she was a bit more talkative and open with her feelings. she realized that some wolves kept themselves guarded until they were comfortable with another being, so she never held it against another. she still kept her dreamy little smile on her face as she listened to Ivy speak.
"I see" so the other woman had been on her own for a while too. Willoughby did not smell any others on her coat from this proximity but they could have faded. it was a sad thought that Ivy was alone, but then again she was alone too. but she chose to be; having not approached any packs to join or asked to accompany a lone wolf or two... "I hope the fates are continually kind" how wrong she would be in the coming months "and bless us with safe travels."
but they also said experience - however bad - gives you character. "and I hope this lake stays like this for a long time" she chuckled warmly, looking across the waters once more. it would be a shame if it was tarnished or tainted. the view was lovely and the company even lovelier. though Bee had enough tact to reel herself back. "are there other Wreckages in Boreas?" she looked back to Ivy with curiosity. she'd feel better if she knew the other woman had family.

it was naive to think the best in everything, but she could not help it. if Bee didn't have hope and optimism, she would cease to exist as she did. her life had been guarded until this point, the only shock to her system her partner's passing a few seasons ago. she had since recovered from that ordeal, but she had done it alone. there had been nobody there for her when she grieved. it was something she sought to remedy in others if they needed it. Ivy uttered agreement, pressing on and explaining her family's goals.
so her people were more or less nomads, wandering the roads like Willoughby was doing. she gave a thoughtful nod to the woman. "what do you want to do next?" she asked her newest acquaintance. perhaps Ivy had never been asked that, going along with whatever her family wanted to do. though the greenette had a feeling the woman was not so much a follower but a supporter. she had someone like that once, who protected her from the big bads of the world. until it ate them up. "would you go back to your loved ones if the choice was given?"
some wolves did strike out on their own despite their family's goals. maybe Ivy would, and next they met she would get to meet her infamous brother. the one who started a pack for his people... he must be a noble wolf indeed. "I will keep watch for any Wreckages in my travels, Miss Ivy. somehow I will get word to you if I spot them" she smiled, offering her wanderlust to be something better than what it actually was. she would help, in any way she could, to reunite Ivy with her family. however small her contribution had to be.
