when a stranger calls

Hanako · 08-24-2020, 08:33 AM

The journey through the desert had been rather unpleasant, to say the least. Sirius had prepared her some, told her to bring water flasks and rations, but nothing could have readied her for the blazing heat of the sun. She liked a bit of sunshine as much as any other wolf, but a few hours into travelling through the desert her nose and ears were sizzling, like meat being cooked on the Armada's bonfire. She whined and moaned in discomfort, tears pricking her eyes as though she was in unimaginable pain. Suffering beyond words. She'd gotten sun burnt before, she knew it wasn't the end of the world but Hanako was a drama queen at heart. And whining about it filled the silence of the desert, even if poor Toshi at her side wanted nothing more than for Hanako to be quiet for just one moment. Ruri, who flew above didn't mind too much and simply kept a watchful eye out on the horizon, eventually letting out a honk when greenery was in sight.

It had taken days of travel, her legs were wobbly and sore but they'd finally made it! And in damn good time too. Breaking out into a gallop, Hanako hurried along as her companions followed suit. The packs scent lingered on the breeze, acting as a beacon as Hanako followed it closer and closer to the packs borders. She couldn't help but feel as though there was something ethereal about this place, otherworldly compared to the yellow drab of the desert.

Coming to a standstill Hanako took a moment to gather her thoughts, to remember what Sirius had instructed her to do. At face value she was simply there to ask and to be a concerned pack mate but behind closed doors she was to have a sniff around, to see if the wolves of Valhalla knew of Malalia's whereabouts. Or at worst case scenario if they were keeping her as a prisoner. The spy truly hoped it wouldn't come to that, she'd never seen the Warlord angry and...well honestly she didn't want to either. Scorched earth and ruin would surely follow, of that she was certain. But she wasn't here to throw accusations, she'd investigate to the best of her ability but more than anything she wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Especially Cairo.

Without further ado Hanako tipped her head back and let out a pretty, singsong howl, requesting the company of any and all who heard. Toshiro remained by her, hiding in her shadow beside her tail whilst Ruri took perch on a rock. Her companions were just about as harmless as her, quirky little friends that had kept her company on her long journey. Or so it seemed.
