Seaking the Heat

The man soaked in the heat of the springs, very welcome after winter and the harsh storm that had swept over all of Alacrtricia. Droplets of moisture formed on the the tips of the man's alabaster fur, onlyto drop off into the steaming water below to rise again. Haku carried on, his paws moving along the borders of Ludicael searching for any intruders or those looking to join. He hadn't even reached the heart of the springs before his emerald green eyes sighted an earthen toned female waiting at the border. Was she looking to join perhaps? Was it possible that Haku hadn't heard the femme's call? As Haku moved closer he saw a hidden look of pain in the woman's eyes. The reason for this was soon uncovered as Haku saw a wound on the woman's shoulder. The fur around it was crusted with blood.
"Hello, miss. Haku, at your service. What might be your business on the borders of Ludicael today? Entrance? Help? Or perhaps something else?" When the man said 'help' his eyes darted for a millisecond to the woman's shoulder but were soon back at her gaze.
