Rock On! [Hana]

The terrain was flat but craggy beneath Hanako's paws as she moved east, excitement glowing in her eyes as she took in her new surroundings. Rocks were strewn about as far as her eyes could see, some large and imposing like miniature peaks whilst others were smaller and clearly worn down by time and the elements. A strange sense of quietness lingered in this place, heavy but not oppressive, as though even the birds and bees wanted to keep the peace. It was nice though and Hanako couldn't help but feel as if she could hear her thoughts better here, clear and free like the breeze that rolled over the garden. Clambering up onto one of the flat rocks, Hanako stood tall with her shoulders square as she pulled in a deep breath. The salty tinge of ocean air tickled the back of her nose and if she looked hard enough she could see the waves in the distance.
It was only atop her pedestal that Hanako noticed the other wolf wandering around the garden. The stranger moved about slowly, clearly in no rush, but there was a sense of purpose to her actions and the longer Hanako watched her the more curious she became. It was a bit rude, gawking as she was, so Hanako climbed down from her rock and loped on over, hoping that the loner wouldn't mind a bit of company. Even if only for a little while.
Hanako considered herself a bit of an explorer, but in her naivety she didn't realise there were methods and techniques to be learned. In her mind to explore was to just...well, walk about and see the sights and sniff the smells. The intricacies were lost on her, but from the way the loner was wandering about, with what looked like a bag of supplies, it seemed as though she certainly knew her stuff.
"Hey!" Hanako greeted with a big smile, forever favouring the friendly approach. "You an explorer too?"
