The fae walked on through the area, knowing very well what she was getting into. Her keen, emerald orbs looked around the proximity of the landscape as her ebony claws dug into the soft foliage, leaving some paw prints after her. She was a bit worried if she would spot any wolves before her, but she also was smart. At least, that's what she thought anyways. The sound of crows perched on top of tree branches echoed in her lobes. "Quiet, you bird brains!" she howled out, but the crows continued to sing their pestering songs and annoying her at great heights.

She was a rouge, and being a rouge sometimes has their advantages and disadvantages. Everything seemed difficult, and she wishes she had a pack to call her own sometimes. She hopes that she could find one that's right for her, but, she knew most packs and betray her and or try to kill her. She was on high alert in this area, and she knew why she should for the smell of other wolves caught her attention as she tried to stay hidden and alert.

The children were off, romping about in the pines or the sound, or anywhere else their siblings led them. She had taken to leaving them as little as possible, but they needed their space and she did as well. The Queen would relax high in the oaks, betwixt the gnarled branches that sprawled up so high in the sky. From here she could see nearly every inch of the woods, and every creature that stalked in it. Including the dark wolf that tentatively strolled about. With haste the Queen would rise, following the locked branches of the oaks as far as she could. She preferred to travel in this way, for it was rare that a newcomer even thought to look up. They usually never knew they were being watched. When the branches would take her no further she would descend, slowly and quietly as to not be discovered. Being found out would only ruin her grand entry. Finally she would leap from a low branch, coming to rest on the earth as if she had floated down from a cloud. Her tail curled up behind her, a display of dominance as her emerald eyes set upon the dame. ?You tread far too close to the northern kingdom, rogue.? She would pause for a moment, before offering forth a demanding phrase. "State your intentions." She would not ask again. this is how i talk

Esperanza sensed the dominance in the wolf's voice as she went onto her back and placed her legs upward in submissive gesture. "I apologize for intruding," she spoke with kindness, not wanting any intentions for a battle, "I am looking for a pack to join, but if you are not looking for any new members, I will be going." She waited for the fae to say it was alright to get up as her emerald orbs looked into those of the dominant female's as she looked down, not wishing for the female to get angry if she did look at her the wrong way.

She could sense some other animals romping around in the distant forest and continued to wait for the female to say she could get up from her submissive position.

The woman would immediately display submissive behavior, so much so that Sendoa was almost caught off guard. Even those who knew her strength and prowess didn't cower so quickly. It was almost amusing, in a sense, but she would not let it show on her face. She had no time to appear amused - this was business. "I didn't say we weren't looking for new members," the Queen would state matter-of-factly. "Get up, I don't intend to hurt you." The mild amusement of earlier now turned to annoyance, but that wouldn't show on her face either. Sendoa Armada had quite the poker face. "I am Sendoa, Queen of the land you stand upon - the land owned by Glaciem. Pray tell, what have you heard of us, if anything?" Sendoa was far too smart to willingly divulge information without learning what the stranger knew of them first. Tail flickered behind her, remaining high and aloft to assert the dominance she so clearly held over the strange female. this is how i talk

Esperanza's ears pulled back in embarrassment. She had never heard of anything about the pack and she couldn't help but shake her head, "I have not heard much of anything your highness," she spoke and looked down as she stood back on her haunches. She could hear pups playing around the area as they soon stopped and appeared before the queen, tilting their heads in confusion.

Esperanza couldn't help but smile at the young wolves and soon her face turned more serious since it was time for business to resume. The wind began to pick up as thunder roared and lightning flashed throughout the land.

It was not much of a surprise when the woman said she had heard nothing of the pack, though that did tell Sendoa that she had not been in Alacritia long. The sky grew darker as they stood, and lightning flickered brightly. A storm was on the horizon, oh how grand. "We are a kingdom of more than thirty wolves strong - capable of waging war and winning, which we have proven just recently. Our ranks are filled with wolves of varying skills, though it is imperative that you can handle yourself in most situations. Our King is heavily involved in breeding to produce strong and able-bodied children. We are a force to be reckoned with, but we do not go seeking trouble. Does Glaciem interest you, miss?" Tone would relax slightly, if only for the purpose of being courteous. She was surprised the woman had yet to give her name, but there was plenty of time for that - Sendoa had many questions before the woman could hope to join Glaciem. this is how i talk

The woman thought for a moment before nodding to the queen. The pups began to playfully bark and pull on her tail and fur, but she didn't seem to mind it at all. She saw a young male pup, growling and play bowing, wagging his tail as if wanting the unknown she-wolf to play with him. A smile crossed her face and began to playfully nudge the pup, not wanting to hurt the young pups even though they seemed to be around eight weeks old.

"Yes, Ma'am, I would love to join you pack if you'll except me," she spoke as she could hear the barking and romping of the pups that began to play around them. Her emerald colored optics scanned the pup's playing and couldn't help but continue to smile.

She had not paid much attention to the pups who had somehow appeared, but when she finally noticed them the Queen would give them a stern bark. "Go and find your mothers." She couldn't let them be harmed by a woman she scarcely knew. The woman confirmed her desire to join Glaciem, and Sendoa would soften just a bit. "What is your name?" Tail quirked behind her as she rocked to her haunches. "As I said I am Sendoa, the Queen. Our King is an albino male by the name of Isardis. Respect goes a long way with him, and in Glaciem in general." She would cast her eyes upward, watching the sky boil with clouds. Thunder rumbled in the distance, but it was a faraway sound, one that didn't promise rain in the north. Something still felt off, though, and the Queen would continue to watch the sky for a moment. Perhaps Isardis ought to be notified, though she and a feeling her hormones were playing tricks on her again. this is how i talk

She smiled kindly and bowed her head in respect to the female, "My name is Esperanza, but you may call me Esper, your majesty," she spoke as the kindness in her voice continued to stay in tone. The rain began to pour down in large droplets, soaking her fur to the bone in nearly a minute. Her ebony claws sunk into the mud, forming paw prints.

OOC; try to keep your posts longer than 100 words, thanks :)

Esper, she would voice, testing the name upon her lips and tongue. It flowed nicely, evenly across her chords. Welcome to Glaciem. She would offer a smile and the tiniest dip of her head. Our lands spread from here to the pines, to the marble wash and the polar sound. You are safe within our bounds, outside.. we promise you nothing. What else did the woman need to know? Ah yes. Don't make trouble for Glaciem, and keep our secrets to yourself - we don't need all of Alacritia knowing our business. Otherwise, respect everyone and you'll do fine. She flicked her tail as she stood to her full height, twisting around to face the direction of the pines. I must return to my children, I suggest you familiarize yourself with our bounds. With that and a twist of her tail the Queen set off into the forest, weaving through the oaks toward her den. this is how i talk
