Relm's presence was still taking some getting accustomed to, but he found he appreciated having another wolf to beat up every now and again. The spars he'd promised her turned out to be exactly what the man needed to stay on his toes. He didn't have to go searching for another creature to beat up. He could work on his own skills and she would be able to improve upon her own as well. Their relationship was mutually beneficial. He wouldn't have invited her along if it wouldn't have been. He'd ventured farther from where he'd set up his den. Exploring the north wasn't his favorite. The snow slushed under his feet as he walked and a cold breeze still blew in from the north that penetrated his short pelt and bit right into his skin. His paws were soaked after his walking and he was surprised that he hadn't gotten frostbite from the harsh winter he'd had to endure. Setting up home base in the north hadn't been the smartest, or his favorite, decision; but, with Relm's father tracking her down and the search for Odyssia it was the only option that made sense. Summer was slowly on its way at least. Whispers of warmer breezes came from the south and he took advantage of the days where the sun was out in full force. It was on those days that he traveled further and further from home. He wasn't sure what he was searching for, but he'd know it when he found it. Eventually his paws brought him to thicker undergrowth. The sound of a waterfall could be heard in the distance and he knew that most likely meant that there was a lake. He didn't make it very far before a particularly brittle branch rolled and crumbled underneath him causing him to lose his balance. He cursed aloud, a variety of colorful words spewing unceremoniously from his maw, as he finally managed to get his feet back underneath him. He lifted his right forepaw to inspect the damage and wasn't surprised to see that a fair amount of blood was spewing from the largest pad. It appeared as though he'd sliced it on a jagged rock as he'd slipped. His nose wrinkled at the annoyance as he cleared some of the blood away with his tongue. Originally he'd planned on finding the lake so that he could slake his thirst. Now he was more interested in washing his paw off and soothing the stinging sensation with the crisp water. It took quite a few minutes of painful limping until he made it to the lake. He hadn't noticed before, to absorbed in his own situation, that there was another wolf already at the lake. He eyed her warily, assessing her for the briefest of moments with his judgmental golden gaze, before he dismissed her and padded over to the lake. If she was going to be an annoyance... well he'd deal with that later. He had a bigger problem at the moment. He padded over to the lake, leaving bloody paw prints in his wake, before dipping his paw into the cool waters. He let out a soft sigh as it eased the throbbing he felt. An ear flicked back to the female wolf as he kept a proverbial eye on her. She hadn't seemed like much, shorter and daintier than him, but he wasn't going to be the one who was snuck up on. As slim as the chances were, he would make it known that he was not vulnerable to an attack. By recent occurrences though, he could assume that this wouldn't be an instance where he needed to have his guard up. Most wolves were soft, squishy, and way too friendly for their own good. Unawares of the dangers that lurked and threatened to ruin their peaceful lives. If she was anything like the others, he was already anticipating the introduction phase and the million questions that normally followed. The thought made him groan inwardly, but it couldn't be helped. The rock that had so kindly sliced his foot open had seen to that. Walk, "Talk" Think |
Rhaegath is not friendly! Most (if not all) of his posts will be rated M for the ridiculously foul mouth he has. Thread with him at your own risk (cause half the time even I don't know what he's gonna do.)
