Not today Death

He saw the glowing  woman follow his gaze up towards the trees to where the hawk perched with her golden eyes watching them with interest. Drachen twisted a dark ear in her direction when she said that he had nothing to worry about from the raptor but instead he should try to befriend the Hawk. He knew that hawks were hunters but its behavior was nothing he had encountered before with its near unnerving stare solely on him. The black and tan male gave a small grunt as he gave the bird a thoughtful look, considering her words before looking at the other-worldly female as she graciously offered medication and the warmth of fire. He watched silently as the blueish white woman flashed a smile and then moved toward him, offering to take some of his weight to help him move to the location she desired. Drachen hesitated for a moment, unused to such generosity, but then gave a nod of his head before getting to his obsidian paws and allowing the woman to take some of his weight.

Still, Drachen was a bit prideful and did not let her steady him as much as he probably should have. He was about to part his tan lips to thank her when she said a name and asked it to find a good spot for them and he damn near flinched when he saw the little lemur dash off to do her bidding. His deep blue eyes stayed on the brush were the little creature disappeared, before he smiled to himself and shook his head subtly. He must have swallowed much more seawater than he thought and he must be delirious. The woman then introduced herself and Drachen gave her a small but warm smile and replied "A pleasure, Spirit Aurielle. I am Drachen Vaekhal. Thank you for you hospitality, I will find a way to repay you some how." his hushed tones rumbled with a bit more strength than before. He meant every word, he was not the type of man to let debts go unpaid.

He was about to take a step forward when he caught the sound of paw steps nearing them and he stopped and turned his head in time to see another female appear, her coat a stunning mix of greys, blacks, and orange. At least she is not glowing thought to himself with amusement. As time went on, he began to become more accustom to Aurielle's appearance but it was a bit of relief to know that not every wolf in this strange new land glowed. The new woman then spoke, asking if she could join them around the fire and Drachen shrugged a muscular damp shoulder. Who was he to deny another the comfort of warmth in this chill but it was not his resources to give so he nodded towards the white female next to him to silently suggest that it was the luminescent female who she should be asking. He could care less about having another join them but ultimately it was up to Aurielle.
