Actaea Praetor With spring the landscape came to life, plants flourishing with the warmer temperatures and the snow beginning to melt away from the landscape. It was a prime time for a healer like herself to begin restocking her stores within her den. To aid her was Boris, the small stature Boar that had become one of her companions. She had taught him what to look for and he was good at shoveling away snow, dirt, or brush that may be in the way. He was also her pack mule and carried a pack on him that would carry anything she would gather along the way. Since she had been traveling a little over a year she was pretty much starting from scratch on her storage den so there would be a lot of gathering she would need to do in order to fill it. She had left the pack lands in the early morning and had headed straight for the red forest, making a few pit stops along the way as she had come across some herbs she was looking for. When the pair arrived in the forest they split up hoping to conquer and gather more in this way. Boris knew what to look for and if either of them needed one another their calls would be loud enough to reach the other. It felt odd not having her companions by her side, but in some ways to her it also felt rather peaceful, lightening her mood and making her have a bit more spring in her step. She almost felt like a child again, roaming alone without limitations and anything holding her back. She would even gently hum as her molten gaze scanned the area around her and her movements were slowed so that she wouldn't miss seeing anything. When she thought she saw something she would stop and carefully study it, some plants she carefully dug up, others she simply moved on from. "Speech"

The new season brought a lightness to the Warlords step. The winter chill had not agreed with him, and the scarcity of supplies had kept him busy from sunrise to sunset. Now, with a growing pack, and much of his stores used, the Warlord would begin to restock. Searching for warm coated creatures to line new dens. Thick hides for armor, and gut to work with needle in their creation.

Today brought him towards the North. The lands easier to bare with the lack of snow on the earth. His bear companion lumbered easily at his side. His leopard prowling the woods out of sight, and Marshal scouting ahead by air. He chased the soft-footed hair his Vulture had sighted for him, and it brought him further into the woods. With the wind against him, he heard the wolf before he saw her. The sound of her humming filling the woods around her, and reminding of his foster daughter. She was a wolf that loved to sing.

Pushing forward through the foliage, the mountain of a man would find the healer as she worked. His hare, darted close to her legs as it fled from him. Sirius chose to pull to a stop, instead of crashing into her, and panted lightly from the chase.

Actaea Praetor She must have been humming too loud and keeping herself from being as aware of her surroundings as she should have been. She should have heard the commotion of the rabbit being chased, but it wasn't until the rabbit shot itself through the herb she was digging up and through her legs. She growled out of surprise and out of frustration at the beast's rude dash through the herb. Luckily it hadn't ruined the herb she was working at digging up. Her eyes then looked up to see the massive wolf in front of her, panting lightly from the chase. That is when it clicked, the rabbit had been running from this male and out of panic ran through her to simply get away. Molten gaze also quickly noticed the large saber like fangs patruding from the male's mouth. She was glad that the male hadn't plowed her over, that he had been paying attention enough to stop himself. She nodded to the male a quite acknowledgement of him. "Sorry about your meal If I had been paying attention I could have stopped it for you," She started. It had been true, if she wasn't so drawn into her work and her humming she would have seen the rabbit coming and easily took it out for the male, although somehow she doubted that the meal would have held very long with the large male. His size reminded her of Ignis, but his coat was the complete opposite from her crimson brother. The fact her brother was this male's size was the reason she didn't immediately feel threatened or even fearful. She in fact was only a few inches shorter then this male. She looked back down to her plant and quickly finished digging it out and putting it in her pack that was on her back. "If you want I can help you track down something else to eat," she offered.
