Ara quickly decided that this place was lovely. If only Novel was here to enjoy it with her. She lifted her nose only occasionally from the dirt, investigating the various scents that lingered here. Prey seemed plentiful here, which wasn't a surprise - such a place couldn't support an entire pack, and she couldn't imagine that many wolves chose to live here. It was a risky place to live, in some regards. What if a storm hit? There wasn't much shelter from the elements here. She shivered as a small breeze blew past, rustling her damp fur. Briefly, she caught the scent of another, brought the scent of a stranger. Her posture stiffened instinctively. She was a bit trapped here, she realized suddenly. What if this stranger meant harm? The scent was feminine, which made her relax slightly. She'd always preferred the company of women; they tended to be more gentle, and less intimidating to her. But.. she would soon be proved wrong with her assessment of this one. Ara redirected her course slightly, aiming to move down the beach to figure out the source of the scent. Even if the stranger didn't want company, it didn't hurt to figure out where they were, to stay out of their way. Her pace slowed as she caught sight of her. The woman was.. surprisingly massive, and looked more masculine than she expected. What struck Ara, though, was that she looked.. pained? It was something the healer had learned to pick up from others, even when they tried to hide it. Something about her posture was off to her, and it was difficult to ignore. Frowning, her brows pulled together tightly as she approached slowly. She had no intentions of startling her, and her posture was about as submissive as possible. "Hello?" She called out, her voice gentle and polite and more uncertain than she realized. "Are you alright, miss?" She couldn't help but care for others, and to seek those out that she could possibly help. It gave her a sense of purpose that she hadn't been able to find anywhere else yet. |
