Something Else
Oooohhh...so that's what they were called! She had run right into a cactus! Well, now she knew to avoid them at all costs. Or at least, not get so up close and personal. She offered a sheepish grin, if only she had been lucky enough to miss the one she had run into. Oh well, you lived and you learned. He got closer to her, his voice soothing and distracting her from the pain that seemed to be pinpointing every single muscle. So she learned he wasn't a healer, which was okay. She didn't think she really needed one to get these thorns out, and she doubted she'd suddenly squirt blood out every little spot the thorns were at...and when she imagined that, she frightened herself for a quick moment before trying to hold back a giggle at the image in her head.
"It's alright, I can't really go anywhere fast enough right now so I'm okay with a while," She joked, her tail lightly thumping the sand. He suggested starting with her paws, and she nodded slowly. She leaned back, stretching her forepaws out a little bit more and just enough to where it wouldn't hurt too much. She watched him work, noticing that the young male had green markings beneath his eyes. Her ears perked, clearly interested in what she was seeing. Asides from Jewell, she had never really seen anyone else with colored markings like that. It was fascinating, and the color complimented the rest of his coat quite well. Whereas Jewell, well...she was super colorful, but Kairi felt there was too much going on there. She knew it wasn't Jewell's fault that she was born that way, but perhaps she was also used to the softer, simpler colors of average looking wolves like her and her family.
She sat calmly, wincing and flinching slightly as thorns were pulled from her skin. He was a fair bit taller than her, by a few inches anyway. But he was also shorter than her father, who so far, was the biggest wolf she knew. As he was bent over in close proximity, she took the opportunity to look him over--mostly because she was nosy-- and partly because she was always interested in the patterns of others and how they differed from her. She was a twin, she and her brother looked exactly the same with the only difference being their eyes. Hers were left eye yellow, right eye blue while Rory's were left eye blue, right eye yellow. Also he was big too, and now that she thought about it, he was just as big as their father.
She was really focused on looking at the boy, that he surprised her when he raised himself up to look at her. She gasped in surprise, eyes growing wide as she quickly tried to avert her gaze and make it look like she hadn't just been staring at him the whole time. Her heart hammered against her chest, almost painfully hard when he introduced himself, his rank, and the pack he was from. It took her a moment to find her words, but when she did, she nearly fumbled over her words. "Mmmyy name's Kairi, uh...I'm a..." What rank was she again? She didn't think her rank was all that important...She didn't have any talents, and hadn't really found much of a calling yet. From what she remembered, her rank had something to do with creativity...the only creativity she had was her imagination, she did a lot of wandering, treasure hunting, and daydreaming...but beyond that? Nothing."I'm a Levada, from Lirim." She finally managed to look at him again when he went back to his work. She sighed quietly, why did she get to flustered all of a sudden? Maybe she needed to get out more...
