What the heck?

Since being back down south the woman decided it would be smarter to travel where the snow could not. Obsidian striped legs carried her lithe form through what was once a thriving forest. It seemed the vines had sucked the life out of any existing trees and made a weird dome around the area. The entire canopy consisted of dying trees and hundreds of vines entangled. Hardly and light shined through the gaps but it was enough for the babe to make her way through the territory. Clementine was careful and her steps were quiet. After her encounter in the great north she was much more aware of the dangers that may lurk around her. She had nearly fallen through ice a month prior and her new companion Kane saved her. But, in the act the male fell through himself. Thankfully she was able to save him and they found refuge in Fyri. That chain of events caused the woman to buckle down and really take her ventures a bit more serious. She could not rely on friendly strangers to come save her nor did the headstrong femme wish to be a damsel in distress. Clementine was determined to train herself to be more cautious but also a bit more quick thinking in dire situations.

As she wandered through the eerily quiet forest something caught her eye. The babe's silver gaze quickly flashed upward towards a set of similar eyes up in a tree. Her steps came to a pause with one front leg hesitating to move down to the ground. Her tail was aligned with her spine and her eyes wide in wonder. She had never climbed a tree before nor did she see a reason to. But it seemed the Wolf she was now eyeing was rather small and fully capable of doing so. Nevertheless, after a few long moments the woman piped up. "Greetings stranger!" Her voice was sweet but also a bit loud in order to travel up into the canopy where the male resided. Clementine couldn't help but feel at a disadvantage thus her hackles instinctually raised ever so slightly. She would silently wait with tempered breaths for a response. Perhaps he would just ignore her and they could be on their way. If not she was completely fine with a conversation. Maybe she could get a few pointers on tree climbing.
