Pickings had been slim as she had traveled. With the flooding it has seems to make prey scatter and make hunting more difficult. She had reverted into her old ways, becoming an opportunistic hunter and even a scavenger. It had kept her fed and kept her going among her travels. She had made it across Ala and her next step was to start looking towards packs to see if any got her interest. If not she didn't know what her next step was. So far the female had only come across a few faces, but so far none she had formed any real relations with. It made her wonder where all the others wolves were? Maybe the change in seasons had them all preoccupied. She wasn't one the really long for attention from others, but the past few days she had found herself missing the company of her family.

She hadn't slept well the past few nights and she was beginning to feel the drag of lack of sleep. It wasn't always easy living as a loner, but that was something she expected. It had never been easy living life in the harsh North, but she had survived to become who she was today. The scarred female pushed through the long grass moving along at an easy pace.

It was perhaps restlessness that pushed him from his pack. He knew he had to recruit - that was simple, that was obvious. He plainly just didn't have enough wolves, and that needed to change. He refused to be weak, refused to be... subservient towards other packs. He would make Borealis strong, something his mother was unable to do now that she.. now that she snapped.

The boy would flinch - he'd tried so hard to ignore that. But it was hard, when he knew that the only reason he was alpha was because of him having to step up. No - he couldn't think about that now. REcruitment, recruitment, recruitment. That was what he had to focus on, not.. everything else.

A rustle would disrupt him - and in a good way. He was able to push thoughts of his mother away, instead focusing on what made that sound. Prey? Maybe. He breathed in - no, not prey. Another wolf, a female, adult. Loner, at that. Perfect opportunity, in his mind, and he'd also push through the grass towards her, not pausing until he saw a glimpse of a coat. "Hello?" he called out, a youthful tinge to his voice - but at the same ime, it held authority, and an edge of deepness.  

"Speech"

Ears pinned back and eyes squeezed shut as she moved, careful that the sharp blades wouldn't hit her ice blue eyes. Her pace was slow as she moved, casually pushing through the long grass to get to..... No where in particular. Her thoughts drifted towards her family up north wondering how they were fairing, hoping a hungry bear hadn't tried to kill them for their meals. She suddenly missed the thrill of hunting and surviving in the tough elements of the cold, but she didn't miss the lack of meals one of the reasons she had left. Her family being stubborn and set in thier ways did not wish to follow leaving her journey to be on her own.

Body came to a stop and ears flicked forward as the male's voice called out. Opening her ice blue eyes she looked in the direction of the voice, eyes falling on his pair of icy blue eyes. Blinking she looked over his face taking in the notable features and remembering them in case they would be needed after this meeting. He looked young, but confident making her wonder what his reasoning for calling out to her was. He didn't act or look threatening at this moment drawing her attention to him. The scarred female turned to face him, slowly not wanting to show a threat, but to remain neutral.

"Evening," she said her voice a bit raspy from lack of use.

The woman would turn to face him, and Ren would stand still as he caught a better look at the female. He was first struck by her eyes - so similar in hue to his . After that, though was the notice of scars. The woman was riddled with them, signs of a hard life no doubt, not that he could imagine what sort of life could cause thoses old wounds. She'd greet him, albeit warily, and he'd dip his head in greeting, his tail giving a tentative wag.

"Evening," he would return softly, noting her rather hoarse voice. Not speaking a lot? Or simply her normal voice? He certainly wasn't going to ask. "I'm Ren Agatsuma," he would introduce himself, his tail wagging again slightly. Hopefully, she'd not be so wary to refuse him a name in return, especially with him being friendly and open. He couldn't help the hope that this woman would be open to recruitment - after all, he wished to expand his pack... it would be nice to recruit openly like this.

"Speech"

She lowered her rump to the cool earth and wrapped her tail around her. The male didn't seem to be any threat and she was able to relax a little more. A light breeze pushed through the grass pushing the faint scent of others towards her trained nose. Her nose twitched slightly as she took in those faint smells. It made her mind wander as to where he had come from and if he was apart of a pack or a band. It also made her a bit curious since her plans were to start looking at the different packs. He could provide an opportunity to see one of the packs. Of course she wouldn't know unless she continued this neutral meeting. Even though she wasn't the best at being social her curiosity would get the best of her. The male wagged his tail and spoke again, introducing himself to her. Mentally the female repeated the name within her mind in hopes to keep it locked within her memory. If he didn't prove to have an opportunity for her it would still be good to make friends.

"I'm Senka Dragovich, nice to meet you Ren," she replied. "Are you from around here?"

The female soon relaxed, and a cheerfulness entered his gaze. Yay, hostility ended! That was always good. She soon introduced herself, and he grinned. Senka Dragovich, eh? Beautiful name, unique name. It was quite interesting, learning of the names. She'd ask a question of her own, and he nodded. "I am. I am alpha of the pack Borealis - a bit to the west of here, across the river. Do tell, Senka, where are you from?" Curiosity tinged his tones; he'd not met a wolf with a similar name to hers and he definitely wanted to nknow the origins. And... well... maybe do some recruiting. The more wolves, the better - and he'd not say no at all.
