Bad Company

Oh he was going to be in so much trouble for this. It was almost out of character for him to slip past Fiori's lands. The key word being almost. Like any young child with a yearning to explore and learn new things he just absolutely had to know what was beyond the borders of his pack. It was early in the morning when he slipped quietly from the den. Their father was already gone, being the busy man he was, and he felt confident that he could get away with it for the time being. So with a grin on his face Lionel slipped off running as fast as his little paws could carry him. Blue eyes were wide and eager the entire time as he trotted at an awkward gait towards nowhere in particular. He wasn't going too awfully far away so it wasn't like he'd get in that much trouble. Of course it wasn't going to be a string of mischievous adventures either but he knew if anyone found out he'd been gone on his own he'd probably hear it. He couldn't help himself though. He really hadn't planned on going too far away from the borders to start off with. He'd traveled some distance from Fiori before he easily got distracted by an interesting looking bird. It was completely blue with a white belly and strange black markings on it. It eyed him warily before he made a jump at it with a wide grin on his face. He'd never seen one before but he wanted to play with it! The bird didn't think he was so amusing though and it screeched at him before taking off. Disappointed that he'd lost the chance at a new friend he chased after it (or attempted to really) and followed it until it was out of sight. He still continued to follow it thinking that he heard it's wings beating up past the canopy of the trees somewhere. Still intent on finding the funny looking blue creature he wasn't aware of how far he'd really gone until the trees started looking different. Finally interested in where he actually was he paused for a moment to stare at the trees that looked so different than the ones at home. Momentarily forgetting about the creature he thought he'd followed here he padded farther along wondering what else there was other than weird looking white trees. His curiosity piqued as he came upon a circle of stones with water in the center of them. How on earth did they get there and what were those strange markings? He looked around for a second to ask an adult what they were before he remembered he was alone. Oh well. He stared back into the pool of water watching it shimmer. He was glad he came here. It seemed worth it for the time being. Walk, "Talk" Think |

Ásvor was way too far from home. She was used to the often inhospitable lands of the north, but with the changing seasons she felt a blooming restlessness in her chest. After some mental preparation, and making sure she'd had a good meal to get her through until she made the journey back home. She didn't have any goal in mind as to where she wanted to go - just somewhere new. All the stories of the gods that her mother had shared with them churned through her mind, reminding her of how much she didn't know, and how much she had yet to experience. Though she was just a bit more than six months old, she was certain should could take care of herself, even though she'd never been far from home. The initial part of the journey - she'd crossed a river, and a strange blood-stained field - seemed easy enough. But as the day came to a close, and the sun disappeared below the horizon, she realized she felt painfully alone and vulnerable. Finding somewhere to sleep was not terrible difficult; she found a fallen tree and wedged herself under the side of it. Sleep didn't come easy, and she felt like she hardly slept at all when the morning sunrise tickled her nose and forced her into the waking world once again. The next day's journey felt a lot less mystical. Finally she made it over another river - this one a bit more difficult to navigate. When she made it to the riverbank, she was drenched from snout to tail, and even a vigorous shake of her coat didn't rid her fully of the moisture. Feeling as though her mood was slowly fouling, and wondering if she'd made a mistake leaving home at all, she trudged onward. Only the scent of a stranger arrested her from her aimless wandering. Quickly she shifted, turning in his direction. Though not the most outwardly social wolf, she was unaccustomed to interacting with wolves outside of her family, and the prospect of doing something new was pretty exciting to her. Determined to meet this wolf, her pace increased until he came into view. He seemed to be about her age. Slowly to a more reasonable speed, she headed towards him. Her attention was stolen only briefly by the strange, white trees that stood overhead, and the girl would tip her nose to the sky to watch them before turning back to the boy. "Hey you!" she'd call out, in a silky sing-song voice, "What is this place?" It looked very much like she'd just been for a swim, though her eyes were alight with curiosity and a bit of playfulness as she looked over the stranger, her tail flicking behind her. |

Lionel wasn't aware that he wasn't alone until the sounds of "Hey you!" reached his ears. He turned around and the sight that met him certainly wasn't one he expected. He stood face to face with a girl that looked to be about the same age as him. She had a pretty white coat with reddish colored markings and dark legs and to top it off she had pretty blue eyes similar to his own. He would have thought she was pretty if he was interested in girls at his age. The strange thing to him that threw him off was that it looked like someone had tried to drown her. She was sopping wet from head to foot and it made him briefly wonder what she'd done to get that way. Before long it'd be too cold to go swimming, or at least he thought so, so wouldn't she get sick? "What is this place?" That broke his concentration. He glanced around for a second taking in the alabaster trees and the ivory stones before returning his attention back to the other pup. His shoulders went up and down as he made a shrugging motion the best he could. Her guess was as good as his. He'd never left the pack lands before this and even this small act of rebellion felt awful even if he really hadn't gone that far. "I have no idea. I know of nothing past Fiori's lands." He cocked his head to the side. He was positive he'd never met her before, but she didn't have a familiar scent either. "Where are you from?" Walk, "Talk" Think |
