Hanako had been meandering about, getting a feel for the territories that surrounded the Ashen Empire and had somehow managed to find herself by the river. She wasn't sure where she'd exactly gone wrong but despite her initial rush of frustration she was quick to settle into her new surroundings, as she gracefully trotted along the river bank. Earlier she'd encountered a jasmine bush and on a spur of the moment whim she'd rolled all about in them, smothering any and all scents she carried with that of sweet smelling flowers. What could she say, she loved girly things.
She continued on, just enjoying the warm afternoon sun when her ears caught the sound of something dropping into the river. She slowed to a walk, her ears tilting this way and that till her sight landed on a tall, looming wolf standing by the river side. She watched him for a moment, wondering what on earth he was doing when she saw him bend down, pick up a stone from the shore and then toss it into the water. She expected the stone to sink, to just plop and vanish from sight but instead it bounced across the water for three beats. Plip plip plip and then plop. Unable to stop herself, Hanako let out an impressed "ooooh!" If she had hands she would have burst out into an applause, but she didn't so instead she wagged her tail high in a welcoming wave as she stopped at a conversational, friendly distance. She had no idea what sort of encounter he wanted so for now it seemed only right to stick with the basics.
"That's so cool, where'd you learn that?"
