Safety in the Unnatural

Quote:It was colder here then it had ever been in the old Alacritis, the wind had a bit of a bite to it that she had never noticed before. Then again she hadn't joined Lentajin until Spring and had spent last winter traveling by herself and here she was, once again alone when winter had hit. Mother nature was cruel it seemed, though a volcano eruption was... Quite uncalled for in her opinion. But she had to look past it, focus on trying to rebuild or if that was even in the cards for that matter. She would have to spend the winter searching for friends and pack mates. Though Snap was a good start it also wasn't exactly where she wanted to start. She had been desperately hoping for her sister to be the first wolf to greet Zara in these new lands. Not that she wasn't happy to see Snap alive but there were others for her to worry about as well. She was sick of loosing everyone she had ever known over and over again. Maybe it would just be better for her to go back to being a loner...

Head was tilted in concern as she studied the female who in turn studied her. Zara had remained fairly unscathed, a few burns on her paws and a little mussing fur on her legs but unless someone had known her exceedingly well before the eruption they wouldn't have known a few extras bald patches on the already battle hardened female. The wide grin that stretched across the female's lips brought a slight smirk to the Tarkein's frayed lips. Somehow the fact that Snap could sit here and joke after they had just survived lightened her mood considerably. Though the somber question that followed forced the massive female's eyes to the ground. "I... I don't know..." she murmured, all that lightheartedness gone as fears for her friends and family returned. She sighed and slowly shook herself, trying to focus on the task at hand. Snap wasn't in the best condition and no doubt she was just as tired if not more so then Zara.

"Your the first one I've seen since..." she said slowly before sighing and turning her attention towards the ship that still loomed before them. She wondered if there was a fracture in the metal exterior that they could get into. "Come on, lets find some shelter and rest. We can talk more after" she said as she motioned for Snap to follow and started towards the ship. Snap was hurt and it looked like she had been traveling for quite some time where as Zara was more mentally exhausted. She needed a good night rest before she could even think about trying to rebuild. Though it was comforting to have found a familiar face and it would be nice to bounce ideas off her tomorrow. Though unfortunately the little Zara new of herbs told her that the plants that would help ease Snap's pain did not grow in this area.
