Fragile. Maybe too fragile? Is that what she was? The albino girls paws were silent as they carried her across the ground. Blades of grass shifting and dancing. Tickling her paw pads. Fairytale had stumbled and tripped over a log, picking herself up and shaking it off. Her attention was drawn else were, she seen something ahead. She had to know what it was, the smell of forests wrapping around her, drowning out her other senses. Was she really all that fragile? A small whimper, as the blur had taken shape to water which appeared to glow. Causing her to wonder about what was happening, or causing such a thing. The young woman failing to take notice to the rocks around the water and stumbling in. How fucking embarassing? A small cough of disappointment. Glaring at the rocks that were placed around the what appeared to be a shrine. How was she going to survive in a world like this? The birds seemed to chuckle and laugh about her mishaps. "It's not nice to laugh you know." Some tears threatened to pool within her vivid pink eyes. How was she ever going to make it? She couldn't see far away, and now making a fool of herself everywhere she went?

Exploring New Land - 1/3 Alabastrine Shrine

Atreyu and her family were making the most of the heat, though they all had different ways to beat the heat. Today saw the pink-spotted woman making her way to the pool at the center of the shrine. This is where they had set up camp, it was the meeting place for Judila survivors and she would not leave until she had to or was chased off. It would take a lot to move her from this place, as she felt closer to her gods here and could practically feel the air vibrate with the presence of the ancestors. While she wasn't particularly territorial, she was highly protective of those under her wing, so to speak. Approaching the pool, Atreyu watches with interested holographic eyes as a small white and pink wolf moved around the water as though she were drunk.

The birds in the trees cawed out their laughter at the other wolf, who spoke back to the birds, making the corners of her mouth twitch up despite herself. She didn't slur like she was drunk, and Atreyu wondered what could be wrong with the smaller woman. There was the issue that the woman was on land she was currently using to house the broken beings that called Judila home, and the friends she had made along the way. The other girl looked like she was about to cry and Atreyu found herself stepping forward. Clearing her throat, Atreyu moved forward, her massive frame held in a fairly neutral stance, though her tail was held above her hips in an almost dominant fashion. Who was she? Why was she here?

"Hello?" She said softly, not wanting to scare the other while she was so close to the pool. "Are you alright?" Her tones were warm, though guarded as her eyes scanned over the other for anything that might make her behave this way. Surely she couldn't be drunk enough to stumble around like that on the rocks and not slur. It had to be deeper than that, the healer in her had to know what was going on.

The young girl had no idea which way to go, confused and lost in a sense. Not having clear vision as all the others do, ears swivel upon her skull as head dipped down, completely bothered by the embarassment. Feeling as though she was never going to live down her blurry vision. She felt lost, confused. However the area smelt welcoming, she had learned to relay on her other scents. From hearing, smelling and touch. Because well, face it - her vision was complete shit.

The sound of anothers voice was gentle but still startled the little butterfly. "Hello" Fairytale chirped out in a startled way. "I ... I think I am alright. Just tripped, can you believe someone put these stones as a prank on me?" She was trying to cover up her near sightedness. The tone of the other wasn't harsh or cold. Helping Fairytale to relax slightly more.

With strained eyes of pink gave her the advantage to climb out of the pool of water, lowering down upon the grass which was soft to her touch. Everything was new, but here she was scared now that this other would take notice and possibly judge her on her mishaps.

The muddied brute with a silver blanket found his way around the shrine, he was the more silent of the siblings. Deeming it proper he stay that way. He spoke when he had needed too. Eyes land upon Atreyu as a small girl had fallen into the waters, causing it to splash around. Twin peaks shifting upon his skull as light sky azure pools watched the duo interact. Atreyu asking the other if she was alright. Vayne grumbled slightly, under his breath. Knowing that the two females could not see him for he was too far away and although knowing that Atreyu could feel her brother there. It was best that he stay silent. So the masculine had sat there, just watching patiently. There for assistance if his sister had needed. He wouldn't let a lone stranger with what seemed to be vision loss cause trouble for the family band. Over his dead body, but he had however sat there. Listening. Incase if any others showed up. He couldn't help but let a grin slip across his blackened lips as a tilt of his skull while his sister had drew herself closer to the unknown woman.

Watching the other closely as she pulled herself from the water, offering the other a paw she didn't see. Atreyu wondered if the other could see as the stranger commented about the stones being a prank. A look of concern passed over her brow then and she drew closer to the smaller woman. "At the risk of sounding rude, and I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but...how well can you actually see?" Atreyu was always going to be one to be direct, she knew the signs well enough, but she needed to know if the other woman could see at all or simply vague shapes.

Her ear slid back on her head, pointing toward Vayne to let him know she was aware of him, though her focus remained on the pale stranger. He didn't have to stand guard, but she appreciated his presence nonetheless. "I only ask because I may be able to help." She didn't want the other to be afraid, just to see clearly. If they knew how bad her vision was, they could begin to craft something to help her out. Atreyu would hate to see someone drown over vision problems...There were other questions to come, but by the reaction of the girl, she was probably nearsighted.

Everything was a haze, reminiscent of the muffled tones of a voice slurred from too much drink. It felt strange, and this odd sensation had lingered for quite some time. The mysterious woman appeared kind, yet Fairytale felt an urge to retreat as she caught the faint sound of another voice. But what would that accomplish, really? Especially when connecting with someone new. The air was infused with a scent that reminded her of both herself and those around her. Fairytale hoped she wasn't intruding on the other woman's space. She briefly wondered if she'd shared her name with the woman, but that thought faded as the person she had come to know as Atreyu spoke softly, her words imbued with warmth and care, as if she were wary of offending Fairytale. "I... I can't see well at all. Everything is a blur." Fairytale's gaze dropped to the ground, embarrassed by her admission.

Was she really ashamed? There was honestly nothing to be ashamed about seriously. Her head rose to try to look at the other lady as eyes squinted without it trying to make it too obivious. But worry started to hint within her eye. "I'm not trespassing am I?" A shy smile crawled along her pale hinted lips. "I am Fairytale, who are you?" Her voice was happy toned, smooth and gentle. This one and the other smelt like one she had smelt before, his scent forever locked within her mind. Oath. Could they possibly be family? She tilted her head and move towards Atreyu, the pink feline patterened woman looked like him in a sense. However Fairytale did not mean to be all up in Atreyus face. Her tail danced behind her. "You're pretty!" Fairytale spoke excitedly.

Vayne stayed within the darkness the shadows had to offer, keeping him just slightly cooler than lately. Ears twist upon his skull as listening to the sounds of the birds that stuck around even threw the heat. His body rising up as his eyes locked onto the unknown woman of a silvery white hue. Who was speaking with that of his sibling. Only to turn to Atreyu as she had began to speak out. He couldn't help but allow that of a chuckle to slip from his lips. "And what if you are trespassing? You know that we could lock you up and throw away the key." He joked, however he didn't know how the stranger would take it. Vayne found his way up along that of his sisters side, nostrils flare picking up the scent that lingered upon the woman who went by the name of Fairytale. His brother. Oath. Man, Vayne had hoped that Oath was around some where hiding and lurking.

When the smaller wolf admitted she couldn't see very well, Atreyu watched her head dip down and her eyes cast to the ground with her embarrassment. "Well that's nothing to be ashamed of, I bet your other senses are amazing! It sounds like you may be nearsighted." She paused, thinking for a moment. "I bet we could make something to fit that..." The woman then asked if she was trespassing, bringing a furrow to Atreyu's brow. They resided at the shrine, but it was not technically theirs so Fairytale was not trespassing in a traditional sense. Vayne made a joking quip, though Atreyu gave him a look that said the small wolf had been through enough. The stern look didn't stay for long however, as she knew her brother was only teasing the small fae. She introduced herself as Fairytale, a name that definitely fit the woman. "Well, our band is currently residing here, but you aren't technically tresspassing." Atreyu smiled as Fairytale moved closer to her, almost in her face, and gave her a very sweet compliment. "Well, you are certainly nearsighted." She said the words warmly, not wanting to offend Fairytale on their first meeting. "My name is Atreyu Morningstar, and this is my brother, Vayne." An idea came to Atreyu then, and she smiled at the other woman, not minding the closeness of her. "I know this is probably too soon, but...are you looking for a home? We would be able to work on something for your sight." Sitting back on her spotted haunches, Atreyu waited to see if Fairytale would join them. She wasn't sure how Vayne or the others would accept the nearly blind woman, but she couldn't just let her wander about without being able to see properly. Now that she met her, Atreyu couldn't let her go in good conscience. She looked to Vayne, wondering what his thoughts on it would be. They needed the following if they were to achieve their goals. Maybe this was the start of the kingdom she aimed to build. "Talking."

After she finished speaking another showed up, alerting the two women to know that he was here. Fairytale shot a glance in his direction. Soft watermellon eyes watching him the best that she could. A small snarl lifting her lips just slightly. Atreyu also seemed unpleased of the males statement. Vayne seemed cautious to everyone besides those he calls friends or family. Fairytale listened to Atreyu speak out.

Home... the word seemed so far away from her. A home she truly did long to be part of. Somewhere to belong. Her mind went to Oath, wondering if he had a home. Her heart sinking just slightly. She couldn't go somewhere without him. Fairytale took a breath. A slow sigh slipping forth. "I have a friend, I don't know if he has a home though." A thought crossing her mind and her tail waved behind her.

"If I join...can my friend join?" Beaming a smile to Atreyu and Vayne. Wondering what they would say..

"speech" | thinks

He grumbled but sat there silently. Wondering if his sister was loosing her mind about inviting a loner within the band of mostly family members. Sure, more members would mean that they would need to find a permanent home but that time would come, Vayne was sure of. Hell, he was not sure how he had even felt about this whole situation which was folding right before his icy gaze. Attention went to Fairytale and then Atreyu. "Numquid habemus facultates alteri Atreyu consulendi? Re vera cogitandum est de hoc priusquam aliquem invitat ut se adiungeret. Scio te bene dicere, sed praecogitare oro." He spoke in his native tongue to his sibling.

He grunted but watched the women more like Fairytale carefully, ears swivel upon his cranium. Wondering just who this womans friend actually was. Or if they'd show their face, by following the scent of Fairytale. His nares flared, trying to pick up any strangers scents now, he had to protect his sister no matter what.

Translation 1: "Do we have the resources to provide another member Atreyu? We really got to think about this before inviting any to join. I know that you mean well, but please do think beforehand."

CODE BY SIN

Listening to Fairytale's words carefully, Atreyu weighed her options. She wanted to help the smaller woman, but did they have the resources for this? Anyone who came to the band would have to pull their weight for themselves as well as the band, but of course that was only natural - or so she thought. Vayne spoke up when Fairytale asked if she could bring her friend, the words flowing naturally from his tongue. "Noli metuere, frater, certe illam et amico praestare nos posse arbitror. Praeterea, ipsa indiget auxilio nostro." She gave her brother a reassuring smile and waved her tail to Fairytale. "What's your friend's name, so that we may keep an eye out for them? Some of our little clan are more...hmm...protective than others." Atreyu knew they would need room to stretch their legs soon, and they would need a more permanent home to house the wolves of Judila. The time would come for that, but for now, she could only do what she could. She was able to afford Fairytale and her friend, but they would be expected to pull their own once they were able to fix Fairytale's vision. OOC: Scroll over words for translation. "Talking."

The young woman sat there listening to the pair speak, thinking of the tongue they spoke together. Wondering as to what language it was for a moment casting glances to Vayne and then Atreyu. Then Atreyu spoke to were the girl understood. A smile splaying across her lips. "I feel bad for giving out his name. But he's this magenta like wolf with two brilliant red horns and rainbow spots along his spine and body." She said with a smile still splayed across her lips. Atreyu was nice, while Vayne seemed very protective over her. Maybe they did know him she wasn't sure about it though.

A tilt of her skull was offered. "It's always good to have protective family members so close though. And are you sure we can keep a eye out for him?" Her heart skipped as the accent was drawn out with her vocals more this time than before. The smooth scandinavian hint to her english. Slightly longer tail swayed behind her.

"speech" | thinks

Fairytale was still a little to close to his sister, but Vayne ignored it although part of him wanted to get into her face and tell her to back the hell up. The younger woman had to have reasons, and maybe just maybe Atreyu was correct. Besides they would better survive with numbers. Wouldn't they? "Quamdiu credas licet nos fore, quam mecum licet, haereo apud te soror." That's when Fairytale had began to speak once more.

Biting back a laugh, there was no way that Fairytale was speaking about Oath, their brother. "Putasne quid cogitem? De fratre nostro loqui non potest. Potuitne illa?" Ears swiveled as he turned to the two of them. "Yes, we will keep a eye out for this one you speak of though."

Atreyu found herself highly entertained by the description Fairytale had given of her friend. She couldn't help the smile that washed over her face, turning her holographic eyes to Vayne as he spoke. Nodding her head, Atreyu was glad her brother would be there for her no matter what. He asked her then if the nearsighted woman was talking of their brother, and Atreyu's smile grew. "Nunquam alius similis frater noster audivi. Satis cito reperiemus." Atreyu did not miss the flick of his ears, she understood why he was so wary, but this female obviously meant them no harm. "Come, Fairytale. Let's get you away from these stones, welcome to the Judilian Band. We will keep a sharp eye out for your friend." Atreyu couldn't very well leave her on her own knowing the poor lass couldn't see. That would be cruel. They could work on something to fix her blurred vision, Atreyu just wondered how she would go about it. It would take some time, and a lot of experiments, but Atreyu was sure she could help her. "Talking."

Oath blinked awake, the sun already high in the sky. His heart skipped a beat as he realized he had overslept, something he rarely allowed himself to do. He had clearly felt more relaxed around this girl than he'd ever known before. His thoughts immediately turned to Fairytale; before himself, before anything else, it was her. She was the first thing on his mind every morning now. He rose quickly, stretching out his lean, crimson form, the magenta hues of his coat catching the midday light filtering through the trees.

'Where is she?'

He scanned the area around his sleeping spot, his cyan eyes glowing with intent, but Fairytale was nowhere to be found. His pulse quickened. Without wasting a moment, he began trotting toward the Alabastrine Shrine, hoping one of his siblings would be there to help him search for her. The shrine, with its pale stones and serene atmosphere, had become a gathering spot for many, one of them had to be able to help.

The closer he got to the shrine, the more restless he felt. 'What if she was with someone else?' The idea sent a pang of jealousy through him, though he had no right to feel that way. Fairytale, with her delicate frame and alabaster fur, was soft-spoken but strong-willed. And he- well, he wasn’t sure how to put his feelings into words, not yet.

As the shrine came into view, Oath slowed down, his breath caught in his throat. He could see her, Fairytale, her small, albino form standing in the center of the clearing, but she wasn’t alone. To his surprise, Vayne, his brother, and Atreyu, his sister, were there too, standing close to her, their voices low as they exchanged words.

Oath’s ears twitched, straining to catch their conversation. He hesitated for a moment, unsure if he should interrupt. But the sight of Fairytale standing between his siblings stirred something protective within him. He stepped forward, his presence making itself known as he approached the trio.

"What's going on?" he asked, trying to sound casual, though his eyes were focused solely on Fairytale, as if she was the only one who mattered. The only one his eyes wanted to take in.

Fairytale listened to the duo, as they spoke what seemed to be a native tongue. Wondering what they were talking about, but figuring it was not her place nor her time to understand or even possibly over step her boundaries. 'What is this grumpy pants problem? Is it just he is protective over everyone?' The albino girl listened to Atreyu speak out, telling the brother and Fairy that she was part of the band. The band called Judilian. A smile crossing her lips for a moment, a sense of self coming to her more.

Frantic eyes looked around for a moment, where was he? Where was Oath? He should have been here with her. She heard another coming up to the group. A smile crossing her lips quickly as she trotted over towards him. A nip to his cheek in an affectionate manner. Fairytales pink eyes looking back to Atreyu and Vayne.

"There you are!" Looking between the two others, her tail dancing around behind her in a joyful manner. A nuzzle soon placed under his chin. "I'm sorry I left, I wanted to get you breakfast." A simple statement as pulling away from the nuzzle she gave slowly.

"speech" | thinks

He listened and watched the two women converse together. There was no need for him to be all like serious right now. The two women spoke together, a nod was given forth as his vocals came forth. "Welcome to Judila, Fairytale." His ice blue gaze turning as another approached. A look to Atreyu was given. As his brothers tongue spoke out. A chuckle. "And where were you off hiding?" He would soon put two and two together, especially after the albino girl ran pretty much into his brothers arms and offered a nuzzle and a gentle kiss to his cheek. Allowing his attention to fall back too Atreyu. "Fieri non potuit ut de fratre nostro loqueretur, sed apparet eam esse." Vayne whispered to his sister, to the point only she heard. He began to wonder what Azriel would feel about this whole situation. A smirk crossing his lips as he waited to see this whole event unfold.

Atreyu was about to speak further, to ask about her friend who sounded eerily similar to her brother when Oath approached the trio. The spotted dire woman was a bit surprised, and the way he looked at Fairytale reminded her of how Azriel looked at her when he thought she wasn't looking. Her tail waved behind her and a wide smile appeared on her face, a knowing grin. "Salve, frater. Aliquid invenimus tuum." Reclining on her haunches between Fairytale and the pool, Atreyu looked between Oath and his important friend. She was taken aback when Fairytale moved to kiss her brother's cheek, but it was with joy. It was definitely too soon to tell, but Atreyu hoped her brother had found someone to love. "Welcome home, you two. Fairytale, I already know your friend. He is our brother." Her smile was warm and welcoming, the joy reaching those holographic eyes of hers, black sclera making them seem to shine. Her tail thumped against the ground before she stood up turning to Vayne and winking. "Let's show Fairytale around, shall we? Oath, you in?" There was a hopeful look in her eye that would have been hard to turn down. "Talking."
