Paws skimmed over the sand on the beach he called home. Drake had remained close to the cove he resided in, it was his place of safety and comfort. The male had been experiencing depression the last season past, memories haunting him from time to time, and he becoming a hermit of life. It was unusual for him, for he was once a friendly and very charismatic young lad...but events happened, and it drove him to sadness. He walked along the shallows of the beach, the water washing gently over his white toes. The noon sun warm, the wind cool. It was an inviting day, perfect in fact. Hopefully today, the atmosphere would help him forget his worries... He stared out across the ocean from time to time, wondering if those he knew back in his home continent were alive and well. His parents were gone, his eldest brother out for his blood, unfinished with what he had started. His youngest sister? He had no clue where she was. He was alone...at least, he felt that way. Nobody seemed to even know he existed, and he was unsure as to whether or not he should keep searching for his little sister. Did she even remember him anymore? Did she still look the same? He slowed in his steps, but kept moving. Lost in his thoughts. "Speech"

His eyes would launch a glare of distress, he'd just picked up a scent, and it was one of his own kind. He stood his ground, cautious, he had realized that this one wasn't following him like the other, but Lucas was, in reality, was the one entering the turf. The other wolf would surely react the same way, not only because a stranger is approaching, but also because that stranger is a trespasser. He couldn't blame whoever awaited ahead, but he shall not let his guard down. This world contains a handful of surprises, and he's seen enough for a lifetime. With his tail raised, fur upright, sight steady, he proceeded, cautious and prepared. His steps were slow, yet purposeful, his eyes were cunning but welcoming, he was strict but with heart. His toes would caress the sand, and his nose would embrace the ocean's majestic smell. He loved where he stood, but he needed to move, he has not slept for three consecutive days; as much as he wished he could rest, there was hardly any time. He needed to move his arse and find something to make up for the lost meal of last week. But his thoughts all collapsed onto the bottom of his mind as soon as he caught a presence from the corner of his vision. He approached, heart pounding at his chest. He was dealing with an older wolf here, and that certainly was a disadvantage out of many. "..bring it," "Speech,"

She would wander the area, head held high and tail swinging behind her in a rhythmic motion, a hum keeping the same beat. She had left home after Colman, debating whether it would be a good idea or not to leave as well. And so here she was, roaming the new lands she found herself in. It was all interesting, seeing such odd places and what type of life hide in the shadows. It was so big, and she had been wondering if she would ever be able to find her sibling in this place.

It had to have been abour three hours walking around till she spotted something in the distance, two figures on the beach. Quickly the girl would crouch low to the ground and scuttle over into the nearby vegetation, trying to be careful with where her paws were placed so she wouldn't snap a twig or crunch some dead leaves.

And so she would move through the vegetation, far back enough to where she thought she wouldn't be seen but close enough to where she could see the two wolves between the bushes and plants.

speech,
thought,
you"

The male stopped where he stood, staring at the bits of shell strewn across the wet ground, shuffled to and fro by the low tides. He was unaware of the youth that was watching, at least until he heard the faintest of sounds. Black painted ears tipped back, alerting him to a presence. Drake turning around to face the stranger, wary until he noticed how young the male looked. He seemed to be around the age of his little sister Skyla, no more then just a boy. Drake himself, only a year older. Aqua gaze looked over the youth, he seemed healthy, strong...a mischievous glint in his eye. Turning to face him, he padded towards the boy. "Hello mate, I've not seen you around before." The black and white male pushed away the bad thoughts, aqua gaze quickly shielding the sadness, though not all of if could be hidden. Was this lad new here? He had never seen him before...at least, not around these parts. He wondered. A small smile found its way onto his face, his tail wagging slightly as he wondered who the young boy was. Drake was focused on the bloke in front of him, unaware of the girl hiding away with her eyes upon them. "Speech"

He stood tall, head held high and tail stable. His size was a brief source of confidence, but it was overconfidence nonetheless. The other man, had approached him without prudence, and as much as the cerulean orb wolf was surprised, the man was greeting him and wagged his tail while he did it. He couldn't tell if this was an ambush, or if this man was actually greeting a stranger into his territory. Perhaps it was because of Lucas' age, he appeared quite harmless. That wasn't absolutely false, this wasn't the first time people judged him by his display. However, before he could respond, he realized they were being watched. One factor had determined it, and he had no clue what this stalker was thinking while his entire tail peeked out of his cover. Lucas frowned, and grumbled from under his breath before as he advanced towards the third wolf. "Show yourself, you're busted." "Speech,"

Koi watched from her hiding spot, tail wiggling behind her small body, copper gaze observing the two males. One of them seemed to be throwing up signs of defense, not quite trusting the white and black one. Corners of her lips would pull upward in a smirk, finding it quite amusing. The behavior of individuals always intrigued the girl, ow they acted in different situations and raisings. Some would even go against what was expected, turn into something else.

Suddenly the coloreful male would turn away, body turning and facing the directiont he girl was hiding. Quickly she would crouch lower to the ground, tail wrapping around her side. Ears would perk up when he spoke, "Show yourself, you're busted."

"Eeep!" Teh girl would yelp, paws covering her head. She was caught! Koi's sneaking wasn't good, she had done something to give herself away! With a heavy sigh the girl would let her paws fall to the sides of her head, body being lifted from the ground, and making her way out into the open so the males could see her. "How did wolf find Koi? I was being sneaky." She asked with a wag of her tail, head tilting to the side.

"
speech,
thought,
you"

Drake waited patiently for the boy to answer, wondering if he would introduce himself, or if he would make himself do it first. It seemed the boy was pondering within his mind, what was he thinking? His stance suggested he was confident, but sometimes too much confidence usually led to disaster. Before Drake could say something else, the male before him said something and turned away from him. Drake was confused for a moment, before a voice not belonging to the other male, reached him. Aqua gaze sought out the young form of a she-wolf, a child it seemed. He stared in curiosity, had she been watching them? Playing a game they knew nothing about? Either way, she had wandered over to join them. "Koi eh? Is that your name little one? I'm Drake, nice to meet you!" He greeted her cheerily, his tail wagging a little more at the cuteness of the young girl. His friendly gaze shifted to the male again, wondering if he too, would give them his name or remain silent. Drake hoped that the male knew he meant no harm, after all, even though this was his self claimed home, he didn't mind others showing up as long as it wasn't to cause trouble. "What's your name, mate?" "Speech"

This stranger was, odd. He didn't mind, he really didn't mind two drifters wandering into his land. It's rather better to stay on good terms with this man, Lucas had no energy for fighting. The stalker had revealed herself as an older yet from the way she behaved, younger wolf than he. "You should take care of your tail next time," With a weak smirk, he twirled with relief towards his previous acquaintance. "My name is Lucas. I believe you're Drake?" Lucas had lowered his tail and calmed restrained his fur, there was nothing to worry about! Yet. He relaxed his body, and lowered his tail. This guy seemed friendly, and having friends in a world of enemies in an advantage in the best form. Or was it? "Speech,"

Gaze would go from the male in front of her to the one off to the side, ears perking up. A frown would come upon her face at what he said though, speaking to her as if she were a child when it seemed like they were all around the same age. Eyes would narrow on him, holding her head high with her tail. ?Koi, and I'm not a little one.? She would said with a bit of attitude in her voice. She might have had a good personality but that didn't mean she was a kid. Even if he was nice to her she would look away with a small huff, returning her attention to the man who had spotted her.

He would mentioned something about her tail, which would make her head tilt before turning around to look at her tail that had begun to wag again. Her tail gave her away... darn it! It was as if the thing had a mind of its own, never staying down when she needed it to. Finding this out the girl would give a big sigh, tail dropping before turning back to the ale who began speaking to the other guy, giving his name, Lucas. ?Drake and Lucas.? She would say with a smile, tail slowly wagging. ?What're you guys doing out here?? She asked curiously.
