stranger than earth

For Kai, things had been looking up lately. Not that they had ever been terribly bad before - but he'd been in extremely high spirits since heading to the north. First he'd met his cousin, and then a lovely woman named Aggie that allegedly had been taken in by his family's tribe when she was young. Being around kindred souls had left him feeling refreshed and reinvigorated with even more joy for life and whatever adventures it might hold for him in the future.

He couldn't help but feel as though the north was somehow home. Even the bitter chill of the wind ruffling through his thick coat felt comforting rather than threatening - and he couldn't begin to explain how serene he felt when he first heard the howl of the winds sweeping through the tall mountain peaks. This was just.. home. Not this lake, not even this section of the north, but all of it. Being here simply felt right; there was no denying it any longer.

Of course, as much as the life of a completely mountain-faring wolf suited him, he had always been restless, never staying in one place for long - and prey was scarce up there, anyway, especially at this time of year. Wolves were even scarcer, too. He'd noticed only a particular sort of creature really made their homes here, especially in the harsher seasons, and while he was independent to the core, Kai was also a social wolf.. being alone only suited him for so long. So when he caught the scent of a passerby, his interest was immediately piqued, and slowly he navigated across the low terrain, over thick ice and even thicker piles of snow until he saw her. She wasn't that easy to spot, curled against a rock, with her pale coat blending in slightly against the snow.

A boyish grin pulled at his lips as he eyed her, lying quite peacefully in the snow. It was a relaxing sort of afternoon, quiet and relatively warm with the sun beating down on your back - but relaxing could also be quite boring and as Kai crept closer, his mind spun with ideas. Perhaps she'd be receptive to his presence.. and perhaps not.. but he had only seen good things come from his interactions lately, and he wasn't one to shy away from the possibility of a good conversation.

He crouched slightly as he moved, making a great effort to be quiet and hopefully go unnoticed by her. Kai's brows furrowed in concentration as he angled himself closer, trying to be as quiet as his oversized paws would allow. He moved until he found an especially soft patch of snow, and with one great sweep he scooped it up with his paw and sent a nice spray of snow flying in her direction. He hoped she might find the sudden rain of snow amusing, but he knew it wasn't the best way to greet someone, so he straightened and teetered on the pads of his paws as if ready to head away if she was less-than-pleased with his antics.
