Matters of the Heart

As she sat in waiting, her fiery eyes gazed the perimeter of her surroundings. However, Ivy was in luck and she didn't need to wait long before she heard the crunching of the snow coming from the direction of the borders. Her fiery gaze searched the cedars for any recognizable formation within the darkened shadows and it was then when the slender form of another escaped the shadows and approached. Instinct quickly followed at the sight of the brute's dominant stance, her body stiffened and sunk down towards the ground. With her belly grazing the snow covered ground, tail curling under her white thigh, ears flat against her skull and her fiery eyes averted from the pack wolf before her, she waited for tooth, claw, or words to follow. But, none came.


Silence enveloped around them with the stalemate occurring between them. Neither were making the first move, so Ivy took the chance to introduce herself. Triangular ears flicked forward before flattening once again in a moment of hesitation before she actually spoke. "I am Ivy. I have come here to seek family and a pack to pledge my allegiance to," she said gracefully, her gaze only rising to the man's chest. She wasn't sure who she was talking to, whether the man be a leader or just a subordinate, but Ivy was going to treat him with the respect that he deserved from a lone wolf like her.
