Night Beckons
She had always loved the night, often traveling and patrolling in the evening rather then during the day. Her thick red coat was not nearly as brutal as her brothers in the summer but it still seemed to suck in the heat and lock it in. The course fur lining her neck was the only hint of her arctic heritage, in the summer her body thinned out and her legs remained the same. Night was much more forgiving, the chill of the evening air almost comforting to the red lady. She had grown up in the shadow of the mountains and it had always been chillier in her home then anywhere else until you went into Diesal's Hideway which was naturally heated by the underground hot springs. She swore her sense of smell wasn't nearly as good other wolves purely because of the sulfuric scent she had grown up with. It was an awful stench... Without thinking nose lifted and she tested the winds, wondering what other wolves might smell in her place and if her sense of smell was truly damaged. This wouldn't be the first time she would be considered over dramatic.
Stray audit twitched, a breif howl cutting that train of thought short as a lone femme called for someone from the boarder. Hopefully it would be more interesting then that last female to show up... God and if that old man should show up she would simply hang herself, she hated him so much. Why did everyone who held the higher ranks have to be so much older then her! Nose crinkled and jaw worked as she mouthed out their last argument during their previous encounter. Thank god Kaien had shown up or they would have been at each others throats in front of a visitor. Asshole, god she hoped he'd keel over and die soon. Smelly old man...
She was still grumbling as she trotted towards the new visitor, ears folded back and breath seeming to hiss between her teeth as she prayed that Ulrike would not show. All those ceased as two black females came into view and the red woman's head shot up. Black lined eyes would take in both her brothers play thing and the black mind across the boarder who had called. Regaining her composure she shook herself, white paws stretching forth as she moved to join Secret. That had gotten to know each other well enough that Vi didn't look down her nose at her anymore. But they were still far from friends. A tip of the head would be given to Secret in greeting as Vi drifted around her fellow Tortugan to place herself on Secrets right side. She didn't add to Secrets words, she knew what she was doing and was being polite unlike Ulrike had been. God damn old man... Sneer was suppressed as easy smile slithered across her lips instead.
