No Fear *Joining*

She'd finally made it! News of the pack Tortuga had reached Garnet's ears and the things she'd heard all sounded promising. A newer pack, perhaps, but one that seemed to embrace the same ideals as Garnet. She simply wanted to join a pack and had considered settling for one that might not fit as well when she finally heard about Tortuga. Why settle when I can try for the best? she thought rhetorically as she stepped closer to what she hoped might be her future home.
Her old life was behind her and while she'd never forget it, she wanted to move on to become the wolf she longed to be. Before long, her paws moved across the ground faster. She ran across the landscape, a puppy-like excitement resonating from her. Let's go, let's go! she urged her legs, an exuberant smile crossing her maw.
It was impossible to ignore how anxious she was. Would she be accepted? Could this pack really welcome her? She just wanted to belong, to be around wolves who might feel the way she did. Soon, her nose was assaulted with all manner of scents. The smells of other wolves and the distinctive scent that indicated a pack. Was she there? She slowed but couldn't completely keep herself from running. She skirted around the edge of the scents, not wishing to barge in but wanting so badly to meet someone. Hopefully someone who could introduce her to one who could accept her into the pack!
She slowed to a trot, not masking her presence but taking care not to trespass too far into the marked land. Not intruding! Just want you to know I'm here!

It wasn't uncommon for the red woman to leave her den and wander the boarders, especially now that her sister shared her den and the blind woman rarely left the tree. It was safe, no one would take her home and with that insecurity out a ease she found herself out doing things more. Most days she hunted seeing as she now supplied for both herself and Zara but on occasion the need to resume old duties arose and she found herself loping carelessly along the boarders. It was a great way to stay in shape and it gave her a sense of purpose again though she still was not technically a part of this pack. Taurig had been nice enough to allow her to remain in the pack lands while she sorted through her own life and issues but as of recently she had realized that maybe it wasn't so bad here... She was beginning to like Taurig, he had a good heart and he was a strong leader. Though she disliked his more peaceful nature more because it went against her life style she found it harder and harder to make herself hate him.
It seemed that at that exact moment that the red woman began approaching the Peggy brown fea who was running along the outside if their boarder. For a short time Vi kept herself hidden, almost hoping for the woman to trespass just so she could be punished but she did not. This newcomer skirted easily a fair distance from their marked boarders and after a while of following her quietly Vi broke into a lope and drew closer to the woman. She would bark, a sound meant to catch the woman's attention so Vi wouldn't have to catch up to her completely. Her usual smile wasn't in place, instead simple curiosity. "What brings you to the boarders of Tortuga dear?" As always she was straight to the point as she approached the woman, coming to stand before her should she stop or speeding up to run along with her should she continue her run.

Garnet was finding it increasingly difficult to curb her excitement and enthusiasm. Surely she wouldn't be faulted too much for entering the pack lands just to find someone, right? She wanted to be counted among the members of this pack, to belong with them, and find others like herself. As she ran along the border, she took in every scent that she could. She tried to keep track of the different wolves she smelled, perhaps as a way to impress the other pack members by knowing their roles but she was too overwhelmed. She didn't quite have the mental diligence to focus enough. Thankfully, she was soon rescued (somewhat) from her own over-eagerness. She heard a bark sound from behind her and practically skidded to a stop, turning deftly on her heels to face whoever had come to see her. Instantly, her muzzle broke into a grin, though the other female didn't reciprocate. The other female was larger than Garnet but Garnet wasn't too frightened. She had no reason to fear this girl yet. She had a striking red coat and Garnet found her quite admirable, if only because of the fur color.
Garnet cheerfully adopted a submissive stance before the other female when questioned. "I'm at the borders to Tortuga territory?" she asked, the words making everything seem more real to her. "I humbly wish to join the pack!" she barked, unable to quell her excitement. She had no idea of the rank this female held but Garnet so hoped her journey would come to an end soon. "I am Garnet. May I please join?" She found it difficult to stand still but fought her body, not wanting to seem disrespectful. She was just too happy! She'd finally found it, the pack she'd been searching for!

The female threw on the brakes with Vi's bark and for that the red wench was glad, not too keen on chasing anyone down today. She seemed pleasant enough, and Vi allowed her normal smile to slid into place as she slowed her own pace and approached. Yellow gaze would traverse this female's form, from the way she had run she seemed healthy and had no visible ailments which was good. They already had one blind person, no point in adding another useless pack member. Though that was an awful thing to saw about her own sister. Vi came to an easy halt before the female, head tipped curiously as white dipped tail licked easily at her heels. She showed no hostility or dominance but her stance as she stood was defensive and ready to turn and bolt if she needed to. When she spoke Vi realized that she was excitable, and chuckled softly, lifting a paw and making a palms down motion with it while making soft shushing sounds to try and calm the young girl. "Yes dear, this is Tortuga, not many other packs live in a mountain..."
So she wanted to join? Without even knowing about the pack? That was a bit strange to Vi but for a moment she simply stood and studied the girl. Allowing her to get her rush of words out before speaking for herself. "Well Garnet welcome, I'm sorry but I can't let you join as I'm not technically a part of the pack. But if you like I can wait with you until our alpha Taurig comes and answer any questions you might have...?" She wouldn't wait for an answer before tossing her crown back and letting out an easy howl for Taurig requesting his presence. It was more by chance then anything that she had come across this girl so no doubt Taurig didn't know about her. Unless of course he was creeping around like the little stalker he usually was....
