Melted Away
Unaware of the fact that she was actually walking through someone's territory, Una would pause here and there to peer at whatever looked interesting. Which in her opinion, was quite a few things. Since she had washed up here, she had seen many different things she didn't know about, let alone what they were called. The arctic wastelands and tundra only had so much, though mostly ice and sea. She had never seen fish just leaping out of the water to drop back down with a splash, or the ones who zipped by the surface in a flash of silver scales. It was intriguing to her, and the further along she went, the more appealing the thought of trying one of the fish here.
She stopped then, blue gaze cast towards the water as her tongue swept out to lick her lips. She had never fished in a river before, much less one as swift as this. Maybe there was calmer waters further up? Enticed by the idea, she turned to continue on her way, and that was when she spotted another wolf approaching her, hackles raised. She immediately stopped where she was, his words a little foreign. Pack? Was that the same as her tribe? She wasn't sure she completely understood, especially since where she was from, they didn't need borders. Two large tribes living on an expanse of ice and tundra that went for hundreds and hundreds of miles, well...there was tons of room. Even with the smaller tribes scattered about, it was scarce to even run into any of them.
She looked at him with a slight bit of wariness. Would this man be nice like the first male that had saved her? She took a step back just in case she had to run for it, but her eyes remained fixed on him as he looked intriguing to her. She was used to wolves that had coats like hers, Siberian like markings and the like. If not pure white. So seeing someone with the single line of markings under their eye was curious to her. "I am sorry, I did not mean to...trespass." The word alone was foreign to her. They didn't use it a whole lot where she was from. Again, for the reason that they had no borders. She then tilted her head a bit, curiosity finding it's way to her gaze. "What is a pack?" Was it the same as a tribe? Or something entirely different? |
