Homesick (joining)

*Qanik* · 01-01-2014, 10:19 PM

No answer to her summons was immediately forthcoming, but Qanik remained still, waiting. She wasn't an inexperienced pup, too impatient to hold the course she'd chosen. She kept her focus on the forest around her, alert for the possible approach of a Tortuga member.

Instead what caught her attention was a second howl that rose nearby, another request for admittance. She cocked her head to the side, listening as it rose and fell into silence. Not long afterward, the sound of a wolf approaching had her head swivel around, deep blue eyes seeking the source of the disturbance. Not a Tortuga wolf, this one. She didn't have the scent, and besides she'd come from the direction of the howl.

She was a young one, hardly out of puppyhood. Sympathy stirred in Qanik - what circumstances led to this young girl, alone, trying to find a pack? The girl spoke, asking if she was also trying to join.

Yes, I am hoping to join Tortuga, she told the youngling, her voice gentle and calm. I came from a pack far from here, and have only recently come to this land. My name is Qanik. And you are...? She made a questioning gesture, keeping her face smooth and friendly.

She hoped, for the young wolf's sake as well as her own, that a Tortuga wolf would be along soon. But at least neither of them would need to wait alone.
