Ooc:: Leaving it open for Camille to come in if desired. The air here was cold, expelled from his lips in a frosty breath. It would get colder the deeper he went, or so Biull remembered, but the male would refrain from going too far. His coat, seeming spotted by the way the undercoat and topcoat mingled, would gleam in the sunlight. He looked a bit healthier, happier now that he had a friend and a travel companion. Camille had brightened the male's life, giving him a reason, a purpose, to go on. His eyes were brighter, stepping with a bit of excitement. Even if they were simply wandering right now... they had each other to lean on. Neither was truly alone. In the back of Biull's mind, however, was a bit of guilt. It was a mixed feeling, however, involving his sister Silveris and her mate. He had seen neither since the storms... and while he hoped that they were well he wasn't sure his place was alongside them. Was that wrong? Was it wrong to want to live his own life? Biull would come to a stop, breathing in and out slowly. Autumn had truly touched the world around him, changing the colors of the world to those that would blend better with his natural coat of brown. Eyes would close, and ears would lower some. Even if it was wrong he didn't look for them... Biull did not regret meeting with Camille. Did not regret choosing to travel with her, and be her friend. She reminded him so much of himself. She was kind, and, in his own eyes, had an unsurpassed beauty. She carried what the world gave her and pressed on. He'd open those eyes of blue and green again, looking around again. For the moment the two had split up, but they would never be too far from each other. Biull would feel terrible if he was separated from the kind femme. Paws would lead Biull to the water. The current was a bit faster here, being so close to the falls, but considering the temperature he would be more than hesitant to take a dip. Head lowered, tongue lapping up the cool liquid as he listened to the sounds of the autumn day around him. Walk "Talk" Think

The curious creature would lay near the pool, her eyes following the loner. She was here to relax her thoughts, the northern place had been her home for some time now. Ever since she left the plains of Seracia and now was here at this point. Her tail flicked behind her, as she watched her breath fall out into the air. Arian had been through life ten-fold. Though not as much as others, her head was pact with information waiting to teach others as well as guide herself against a more stable path. She raised her body, standing on her limp carefully before deciding to approach the young male. He looked no more than a year old, it reminded her of when she was off on her own, it was far too young honestly. "It's a nice evening." Arian said as a smile curled on her face. She came to settle a few feet away from his right side staring at the pool. Her crystal eyes nearly matching as the reflective color reacted to the cold air that way. That also meant her scarred portion of her face was facing him as well as her white eye patch. She let the water touch the tips of her paws. "Talk" "You" Think

I Was Not Far From My New Companion. I Had Chosen To Separate Only Briefly For The Sake Of Finding Food, Or Perhaps Shelter For Us. Would It Not Have Been Better To Separate For A Short Time To Cover More Ground? The Snow Fell Lightly Upon Me, My Coat Rippling With The Dancing Delicate Flakes As I Searched. I Could Hear Water Close By, The Scent Of Biull Upon The Wind. And That Was Enough For Me. He Kept My Usual Skittish Nature Calm, And I Found His Companionship To Be One Of A Kind. After All, Why Remain On The Path Alone When It Can Be Shared With Others Like Me? I Am The Last Of My Tribe, And That Alone Left A Hole So Deep...I Am Afraid It Might Never Fill. But...The Friendship That I Have Been Shown By This Male, The Way I Trusted Him So Easily Despite Hardly Knowing Anything About Him...Made Me Wonder.

My Large Paws Swept Across The Snow, I Was Unsuccessful In My Hunt. I Hope I Didn't Disappoint Him...As I Drew Closer, I Could See His Body Through The Trees, My Heart Lifting And Excitement Growing The Closer I Got. I Found Myself Smiling Easily, The Sight Of Him Warming My Belly. At Last, I Drew Towards Him. My Back End Wiggling Slightly As My Bobbed Tail Wagged In Vain. "Hello, Biull!" I Greeted. I Was Unsure As To Whether I Should Make Contact, We Had Just Met After All. I Wasn't Sure If He'd Be Uncomfortable With That, So Instead I Settled For The Closeness That Sat Between Us.

It Was Then, That In My Excitement I Had Failed To Notice The Other One That Was Here. And As Soon As I Noticed, My Entire Demeanor Stopped. I Suddenly Became Shy, My Body Subconsciously Sidling Towards Biull As I Pressed Against Him For Comfort, My Head Lowered And My Body Went Slack. Whether She Was A Threat Or Not, She Was New And I Had Yet To Possess The Confidence I So Desired. I Lowered My Eyes, Once In A While Peering Across At The Stranger. Biull Was The Only One I Knew, So Being In The Presence Of A New Stranger Was A Bit..Daunting.

Cool liquid was lapped into his mouth, his bi-colored eyes shining happily. Life was peaceful and calm. The air was cold, snow a bit of a pain here in the north, but it had it's beauty. Besides... he wasn't alone. Though when Biull first heard a voice it wasn't familiar, and the man would jump some, looking to his right. A fae moved up beside him, limping, yet another scarred beast of this world. Her face too bore scares, her blue eyes seeming far more aged then they should have been. A frown would cross his face, wondering who she was, why she chose to move next to him. Yet... Biull felt calm... certain that this female would not try to harm him or Camille. "Seems... to... be..." It was taking more effort, and his talking low and drawn out, but Biull was working on making sure each word he was trying to say would be heard fully. Quiet and raspy, yes, but they would be heard. He would offer the stranger a small smile. She did not seem to have it easy, seemed to have a lot on her mind. What was it she was thinking of? Perhaps he and Camille could help? He wasn't sure, but he certainly hoped that he could. Ears would prick as he heard the voice of his companion, Camille, from behind, and the speckled male would turn his head towards her, a smile upon his face. "Wel...come... back..." Biull would say to her. His gaze softened as it fell upon her form. Though it seemed as far as getting food they were unsuccessful, perhaps the search for shelter would be a little less in vain? He could see her slip into uneasiness, and the male would gently press his body back into hers, holding that gentle smile. "You... 're... safe... with me..." He would promise her gently. He wasn't the bravest... but he would defend his new friend if he had to. He didn't think it would be necessary, however. "What... ...brings... you... out... here?" The woman smelled of a pack. She couldn't have been a slave, since these were not pack lands... and no offense to her he didn't think she would get far without someone noticing. Walk "Talk" Think

Arian would watch the girl a little sadly. These two wolves seemed to be in a harsh situation, it made her heart cringe with sadness. Her crystal eyes searching him over, in an obvious fashion with concern plastered over her face. As the crippled girl stood up, shaking off remaining water that stuck to her fur. If she was the wolf she wanted to be, she would offer them her home, even if it may have been out of the blue. They had to look after each other. "You don't need to talk if it bothers you." she commented to him, seeing as it seemed he was having trouble speaking. Or that it was painful, she was alright with simple gestures. "I came to relax...and possibly meet some new friends." she smiled at the girl and the man. "It seems the gods guided me to you." her tail flicked to one side. "My name is Arian, I'm the alphess of the pack Isokan that resides in the northern mines and polar sound.....I'd like to offer you a place there. I know it's sudden, but we are small, and it would be wonderful if the two of you came along. We're a family, who look after each other no matter what." she softly grinned at the girl. Hoping that it would place her at ease if even only a little. "Talk" "You" Think

Ignore. Silly Croa thought it was still open and didn't bother to check.

Biull would blink some as the woman spoke, first showing him kindness and concern about his voice being strained. He would give a small smile to her, shaking his head. It wasn?t so much of a bother... And if he didn?t keep practice using it, well, how was he going to get his voice to be better? It might have been harder... But it wouldn?t be impossible, of that he was sure. He was confident that one day he would talk normally again, or at least more normally, no matter what it took. He had to wonder, however, as the woman kept speaking. The gods...? Of them Biull was not one who was certain, his family believing in the Guardian Angel Castiel. But she would speak further, introducing herself as Arian, the alphess of Isokan. She would offer onto them her home, saying that her pack was small and that it would be wonderful if they came along. The young man would look to Camille for a moment, a gentle smile on his face. Perhaps... Together they would have the strength to join? If not he wouldn?t leave her... But it could certainly be beneficial to them. ?We could... Try... If... You... Want?? He?d ask her. He?d gently press into her, his bi-colored gaze soft. He wouldn?t abandon her, if she could take the courage to try in a pack. She had given him strength... And he would help her keep her courage. They were a good team, even if they weren?t the strongest or courageous wolves out there. With winter coming... This could be for the best. Walk "Talk" Think
