This turned into more or less, an unintentional game of hide and seek...so it might take a bit to find him XD




The lanky creature left the southern lands, once again searching for his siblings. It seemed he'd even lose Eshe's trace once again, and it saddened him. Maybe they had moved to the other side of the coast, perhaps the snow intrigued them as much as it did him, and went to investigate. That notion would bring him moving all the way to the other side of Alacritis, where there was nothing but snow. It fascinated him, and not only that but he rather seemed to enjoy it. His pelt blended in with the snow, if he were to lie down the only thing that would show would be his bright curiously green eyes. Even his ashen ears would blend nicely with the cloudy shadows of the day.

Not too far in the distance, Aqil would spot a structure jutting out of the snow at an angle. Tilting his head slightly, he stared at it for a long moment before registering what it was. He had known the thing to be a ship, something that he learned from the old Zimbabwe tribes back home. The elders there were very informative in the history of their ancestors, and for that he was grateful. With a smile tugging at his lips, he ventured towards it.

He wasn't far now, the structure loomed before him, it's shadow cast over the ground to his left and the wind would seem to bring to him, a very strong scent. He paused, head and ears erect as he gazed about. It would seem that he had encountered a pack, though which pack it would be he was not sure. This not only delighted him, but it was very convenient since he had been looking for a good pack to perhaps gain some friends and learn more of the dominant creatures in these lands. Perhaps he could even offer his assistance should the need arise, like teaching!

Growing excited, the male moved forth at a brisk pace. The border drew closer, the beasts slender legs moving gracefully over the snow. He was sure if anything was watching, they wouldn't be able to spot him unfortunately. With a flicking tail, he was about to chirp and announce his presence, but as soon as he opened his mouth, floop. He had walked upon a rather soft mound of snow, the male had sunk into it entirely. It was as if the earth decided to swallow him up right there. The only thing that could be seen of him, was his tail tip twitching like a leaf in the wind. "Oh my..." His voice muffled by snow.

Sorry to ruin your hide and seek, Arian is a little stalker xD



Her blue eyes had been watching across the lands for some time. Bored, and maybe a little overly protective of herself. Arian was confined to the pack lands for the time being because she did indeed have little lives in her. Though she didn't feel any different, nor did she yet look any different. She still knew, and her body knew as well. However, her head perked when she saw a pale creature, he almost went unnoticed since he matched the snow perfectly other than his bright blue spots. A cat? A cat species she had not yet seen bring her head to tilt as she watched him bolt for the border. Her fur bristled then, shooting upwards only to see him.... sink? Vanish? He seemed to have fallen into a mound of snow, tail twitching around difficult to see.

The cripple would trot over to him. Her head lowered to the ground but her blue eyes were still bright. Yet her hackles still raised, just in case he was a danger to her home. "Need a little help there.... Cat?" she asked. The last cat she had come in contact with had been tiny, and rather annoying. She had made a deal with him but hadn't seen him since. Yet she relaxed near the snow mound using her ears to her advantage.

Hidden ears perked at the sound of crunching snow followed by a voice. Eyes widened, did she call him a cat? How rude! He as no ordinary cat! Though he supposed he couldn't get too flustered, after all, so far it seemed none of the natives had seen his kind before. He struggled a bit, though the snow seemed to fall upon him a little more and his tail would begin to twitch in frustration, something the male rarely encountered, then again it seemed snow would not be as wondrous as he thought it to be at first.

"It sheems I do need shome halp." He said, though his voice would be muffled as snow decided to jump into his mouth when he opened it to speak. He tried to peer upwards to catch a glimpse of his potential rescuer, though all he could catch was a hint of wolf. Of course, one of the creatures had probably spotted him near their borders and came to investigate, and he was glad. Who knew how long he'd be stuck here without any help, for the lithe creature couldn't quite figure out how to escape the snow without him sinking further. Then again, he was farther North..and he thought himself a dolt for not thinking about the possibility.

Arian's previous fear had quickly faded away, as she placed a paw against her snout in a small giggle. She couldn't help it, her depiction of cats was graceful and fast, something that could even beat a canine. However he had fallen into a pit of snow and had to relinquish his pride for help from a dog. Her tail wagged behind her steadily as she came closer to him looking at his tail. Using her right front paw she dug a bit of the snow out from on top of him so she could see his face and it would be easier for him to talk.

"I'm going to pull you out from your scruff okay? I'll try to be gentle but pregnant lady on three good legs can't entirely lift so well." She would be able to use her injured leg for support but not much else. Arian tried to wrap her jaws around his scruff and pull him up just enough so his claws could scraped against the snow and get back on solid ground.

Green eyes glanced upwards as snow disappeared from his face bit by bit, allowing him a bit more of a clearer view towards his rescuer. This was an embarrassing situation for him, but it often happened to the poor cat. He nodded after she spoke, bracing himself as teeth met his scruff. As she tugged him, he wrangled his paws free of the oppressive manner of the snow, and his feet clawed awkwardly to his sides and in front of him as he climbed out. Once he was mostly free, he pulled his lower half out and nearly face planted as he freed the rest of him. Heat rushed to his face, he must seem like a blundering idiot! His dignity was shot, but he'd get over it unlike many others.

Shaking off the snow that captured his already lightened pelt, he fluffed out his fur as best he could. Though the poor creature began to shiver, as the moisture had penetrated to his skin. "I can't begin to thank you enough, M'am. That was...quite embarrassing I must admit." His green gaze turned to look at her, the male trying to hide away his embarrassment and the fact that he was cold. "M-my name is Aqil, pleased to meet you." He inclined his head to her in a respectful bow, only for a sneeze to shoot out and send him flying onto his rump. "Oh my..."

She had to admit, she felt proud of herself for pulling the feline out. Though she stood up when she did, finally able to get a look at him. In all honesty, a small sparkle shown on her eyes. Her mouth sat slightly gaping open at his fur. Soft and lush, it's white color bounced off those light blue spots like a dancing butterfly. She had to swallow and and recollect herself. She would clear her throat and smile at him. "Don't worry, your reputation hasn't been tainted. Your as magnificent as ever feline." her tail made a mild wag back and forth. Arian wanted to drag him around and show Cypress this new shiny creature she had found.

"My name is Arian Adravendi, come on your welcome in my lands. It's much warmer in the ship and I could give you something for the shock. I'm the alpha and the healer of this pack." She would flick her head towards the ship. Trying to get him to follow into the ship. So that she could slip into her warm den, the various shelves filled with strange objects and herbs. She would sit in the middle of the den, he probably would have noticed her limp clearly. "This is me and my mate's den. But I'm sure he won't mind you coming in for some treatment."

Recovering from his sneezing, he looked at Arian with gratitude. Sure his fur was a little ruffled, but he'd get over it. His short ears tilted forward as she spoke, a small grin finding it's way onto his face. "Ah, why thank you. That is nice to know, after all that was quite a bit...embarrassing." He stood straight as she introduced herself to him, the "Chin-cheetah" dipped his head respectively to her after she mentioned she was the alpha. Standing to follow, he walked beside her without hesitation. It would be quite a relief to get out of the wet snow, and as he walked his body would continue to shiver though not violently.

"My name is Aqil Amir Dume. It is lovely to meet you Ms. Arian." He produced a light purr from his throat, his tail waving gently behind him as his long legs strode over the terrain. He was careful about where he stepped, often keeping close to Arian to keep from walking into an unforeseen mound of snow again. He gazed up at the ship as they walked on board, the male hesitating slightly as the unfamiliar feeling of wood sat beneath his paws. This is quite interesting...I've never set foot upon a human structure before. Though I do wonder what they were like.

As they walked along the wooden structure, he noticed a difference in the sound of the steps between them. His were more even, while hers seemed a little off. Peering at her legs, he noticed she had a limp, though he wouldn't bother to ask for fear of offending the maiden. Instead, he'd gaze about until they came to where she resided, his green gaze cast over the knick knacks and different herbs she had stored away. He followed her inside, and it was much warmer then it had been outside. He moved towards the store of herbs, gazing at each one in turn until he came to a particularly stronger smelling herb that was quite familiar to him. "I recognize this one as Mint, it smells quite lovely." He'd remark before turning his attention to her. "You have a lovely home, thank you for inviting me here today. It is much appreciated, and I cannot wait to meet your mate."

The pregnant woman would be happy to take the compliments but she was quick to shake her head about them. There was always something to improve on, she had learn that when they are just feeling safe, it was someone else who came to take their happiness away. As her crystal eyes moved over the mint she sighed. "I have night terrors.... sometimes anxiety attacks as well. The mint is mainly for myself." though the mentioning of Cypress made her mouth open for a small while then clamp shut. "He's very busy.... I don't know if he'll be in tonight."she wasn't saying as if it was a bad thing, but she was also hoping he didn't find her in their den with the cat.

"I have a Cayenne pepper left, it will warm you up but I'd be careful not to eat the whole pepper. It's very hot in your mouth." She delicately took the pepper off one of the shelves. Placing it in front of the cat, it would be wise to only take a bite off of it. However it was a remedy she used often to keep wolves warm if they ever did get too cold. The north needed things like this anyway.

She explained to him the usage of the Mint he had discovered within her den. He looked back at it, then back to her. It wasn't unusual for one to use such remedies on themselves, especially if it helped them a great deal. Back home, he had used lavender to help calm him when he had anxiety when his family had left. He would not comment on it further. And when she told him that her mate might not be in tonight, he felt a little down. "Ah, well...that is a shame. I would have liked to meet him. Ni bahati mbaya. Perhaps next time, then."

Ashen ears perked up as she offered him the cayenne pepper. It wasn't something he saw everyday, particularly not this pepper anyway. He sniffed at it as she placed it before him, and it smelled spicy! A sneeze erupted from him again, surprising him more then it could have surprised her. Maybe he was coming down with a cold? He wasn't used to the snow after all, but he'd disregard that thought. Maybe a little nibble wouldn't hurt, and he could use the warming up. Reaching forward, he tentatively took a small bite. At first, he couldn't taste the spice. But gradually it began to appear on his tongue, like it was sneaking up on him. He swallowed the small bit of pepper he had taken, his mouth watering like crazy as his nostrils began to flare. She wasn't lying when she said it was hot!

His face screwed up slightly, the feline trying to keep his features calm as the pepper did it's work. "Oh, that is quite spicy! My tongue feels like it's on fire! But it is working quite effectively, thank you." He didn't want to seem like he was complaining, so he'd take it like a man and slowly breath in and out as he panted slightly. Moments later, his tongue would finally stop burning and he'd shake out his pelt as if that too, would get rid of the spicy heat. With that aside, Aqil remained sitting as he wondered about Arian and her pack. He had never been within the borders of a canine pack before. "Can I ask you something?"

Arian couldn't help but to let a giggle escape her throat when he bit into the pepper. For some reason she felt that he would have been much more animated than any Canine she would have given the pepper to. As he began to settle down, she would lower her head a little just trying to get a better look at his anatomy. His spine was definitely different from any dog or wolf. Those paws held viscous claws that could retract into their toes. The pregnant woman would perk her ears to the question.

"Go ahead, I'm an open book.... at least I guess so." As of late her doors had been shut to more of a darker chapter. She was still trying to figure out her place in the world. As many of others wolves at the moment didn't hold any respect for her. They all saw the same soft adravendi that came to them all those years ago. She would rather die, than give up Sonticus now. It was a strict decision she had made.

He took a deep breath to quell the burning on his tongue, and after a few moments the heat began to fade. He shook his head to rid himself of the sensation, it had worked though, so he wasn't cold like he had been before. He noticed her gaze on him, the cat unable to contain himself as he sat tall, tail curling around his delicate paws as the tip of his tail twitched when he thought about what he wanted to ask.

Finally, her response would give him the okay. "I suppose my question would be, what led you to to become an Alphess? I imagine it is a lot of responsibility, but also great power. Your pack mates must look up to you a great deal." There. He asked. A question he wanted to ask every alpha he came into contact with, and his curiosity burned with wanting to know the reasons behind it.

When the cat asked the question, it had brought her to a quick point. Her ears flickering in the midst of her thoughts. Why had she become an alphess? Was she power hungry, afraid of the world around her. She wondered these things, and when it came to answer him perhaps she didn't quiet have one for him. "Not all of them look up to me. Sometimes I feel as if I have to prove myself to them a thousand times over. They all look at me the same.... crippled leg doesn't entirely fit a leader." she muttered for a moment and smiled at him.

"I've messed up very bad in my life, I owned a pack once before and gave it up. I'll be damned if I let this one go until I'm dead. None of the other packs entirely respect me because they don't think I've changed. Someone who simply, picks something up and once I think I can't handle it hands it off to someone else. I did originally do it because I thought it would help me with my depression. I'm doing something wrong at the moment, but I'm working on fixing it." Arian would finally answer. As her tail flicked a little she tried to give a small sigh. She was talking with a cat as if he was not a stranger. It was a scary thought about that. Some days she just wanted to hide her head into the snow and scream.
