Looking for a home

*Raisa* · 02-18-2014, 01:30 PM

The man's summons found Raisa in her den, mercifully shadowed from the summer's heat. The sun seemed intent on wither her land to little more than a husk, but so far they were hanging on. Ironically, the boulders that offerred so little shade were what had kept the landscape alive. Below them, nestled in the rocky soil, the soil was damp with eons old glacier melt. Springs dotted the surface of the rock garden, and while they were shrinking day by day, they had survived thus far. Raisa's thoughts circled this concept like a buzzard eying a carcass, until the howl filtered through her ears. She perked up, auburn tipped audits keen and bent on deciphering his intent. It seemed as if a rogue waited on her borders, intent on a meeting. Eager to grow her pack's ranks, she clambered from her den and took off at a trot. The moment she left the shade the heat clawed at her dark fur, but she pressed on.

It was not a long trek to the edge of the garden, but it felt like quite the journey. By the end of it, she was panting and felt as though she roasted in her fur, summer coat be damned. She could tell the man was nearby, and took a moment to collect herself before padding slowly forwards. He had to be here somewhere... She raised her snout to the wind and cocked her ears this way and that. Finally she saw a dark splotch amongst sparse shrubbery and grasses. With a smile she approached, one eye brow raised and an amused smile on her face. "You've beckoned, and I've come. What can I do for you, stranger?" Her tone bellied little of her fatigue, and she wondered if the man before her was as miserable as she. His fur was raven dark, and his build immense. Curiosity gnawed at her gut as she awaited his response.
