Wascally Wabbit!

Walk | Talk | Think The boy, she realized as she watched, was full of curiosity. She could see it within his eyes as they sparked to life after landing on everything that made up the Elementas's family home, so enthusiastic and so hungry to take it all in. Gale wondered briefly if he had ever gotten the chance to view a beach like this before - not just the dark colored sands, but generally speaking. The land her family had washed up on was a wide and varied one, one that took quite a time simply to get from one place to another. It seemed entirely plausible for someone to find comfort in just a tiny portion of it and miss out on all the variety they were denying themselves. Silently, the lavender-marked wolf vowed not to become one of those wolves. Not one to crush a child's enthusiasm, Gale grinned as he finally took notice of her and addressed her with the same open curiosity that he viewed the world. His unabashed nature drew an amused chuckle from her before she answered. "I'm Gale, this guy's sister," she stated, turning her head to gesture toward the hulking blue figure of Glacier who stood beside them. "Swimming isn't really one of my strong points," she admitted, unembarrassed about claiming her lack of skill. Particularly since she had another that made up for it. The smile on her face brightened, and her grey-green eyes narrowed proudly, "I'm a much better racer." Following her teasing remark, her brother played along in kind and admitted to inviting in tourists. Though she grinned humorously, she could not stop herself from shaking her head slightly. What a nightmare that would be like, having an open border that welcomed visitors. She was sure they would never get any rest. As Glacier turned to speak to the boy who named himself Eilan, Gale could sense a shift in the conversation, but tried not to let on as she let her brother return his attention to her and finally reveal what it was that was truly on his mind. The smile slid from her face as the talk became somewhat serious, revolving around the lone boy and his absent father. Gale turned her head to peer at the pup again anew, though the final request completely captured her attention. A mission? This sounded intriguing. Track down a wolf and bring him back to the pack for the child. It sounded difficult, potentially even time consuming since she had no idea how far she would need to go in order to find the missing wolf, but it gave her definite excuse to get out there and more thoroughly explore the territories beyond her home. Her thoughtful expression began to brighten again, and her easy smile returned with confidence. "I'd be up for it," she agreed, and despite all the questions swirling around her mind she felt genuinely excited by the challenge. "When should I leave? Is there anywhere I should look first?" She was ready to go; she just needed a direction to start. |
