Her efforts in the battlefield hadn't been very fruitful, but she wasn't going to force anything upon an unwilling creature. She was an alphess just and fair, bringing someone among her ranks by force wasn't exactly her style. She at least learned that Celestial had new alphas, though where they stood was beyond her. Lumbering into territories she'd not visited for what felt like ages, the womans paws kissed the ground as she slowed in her step. She was thirsty after her long journey from home, but it seemed that the farther west she went, the drier everything became. Was this what summer would bring the lands thus year? "What a pity..." She'd murmur. Luckily for her, they had water. The snow melts helped, and though it was warmer up north as well, at least their crystal clear pools weren't drying up like this.
She searched out a drink, though doubted she would find any with the season this hot. Her own heat scent seemed to waft heavily around her as well, scattering about the warm air like locusts on a crop. It was irritating to say the least, but there was nothing she could do about it. And yet through it all, another scent not her own caught her. Amber gaze fixed through the trees, the tail of a creature visible some distance away. Curious, she trod forward in an attempt to approach the she-wolf. "Good afternoon." She rounded the other side of the tree, a fair few feet in front of the woman so as not to startle her from behind. She noticed the small pool of water nearby, but perhaps it was protected by the woman before her. She'd wait until she got to the river, walking back home after a fight in this heat was something she wasn't looking forward to.
And yet, she felt inclined to ask regardless. "Mind if I take a drink?" Her voice did not betray any form of lack of confidence, in fact, it was the complete opposite. The events from the past season had caused her demeanor to change into something she'd been wanting, and that was the ability to be more confident then she'd ever been before. |
