The yearling had decided to go exploring, but rather then heading farther down south towards the unexplored lands she found herself heading towards the land bridge they had crossed over on. She hadn't been given the opportunity the fully explore it when they'd first gotten here and from a glance it had looked beautiful. She could still remember the pale glittered sands, the way the sunlight sparkled on the ocean, and the fresh breeze that rolled in from the sea. She honestly hand't minded the move too much. Sure the weather was warmer than she was used to, but her pale coat helped with the sun even though it was thick. Not to mention that this place was far more beautiful than the pines and the cave system they'd previously owned. It offered so many more possible places to explore and Afrit relished the idea of getting to know every single nook and cranny of the continent. If she managed to exhaust herself of places to look at here then there was always Boreas to explore too. She'd been too young to explore it before. Afrit finally reached the land bridge and paused right on the edge where the land met the sea. Water lapped at her toes and tugged at the soft hairs on her paws and she giggled softly as it tickled. This place was as beautiful as she remembered! Walk, "Talk" Think

Heather had been here once before, she had argued with herself to explore auster. However she knew of amalia's journey and how Razor got lost down here. That fact itself was enough for her to think otherwise - that and she had her studies to do at home. Heather wanted to pick up on such things, after all she knew a lot of wolves had said her father would be around for a long time but.... what if he wasn't? Death was not uncommon, and while she didn't really want to think about that she wanted to be all the more prepared if something did happen like that. The princess shook her head, trying to free it of those scary things. Until she spotted another - it looked to be a yearling. As she hadn't filled out, but seemed to be tall enough to be an adult not to mention the scent that hit her nose. Also was mixed with a pack. There was a pack here? "Excuse me?" Heather would approach with caution. Feeling anxiety swell up in her suddenly her heart was beating faster than usual. She had stopped a few feet away, physically unable to get any closer as she felt as if a large bubble was around herself. A force pushing down on her that was sending her mind in a tizzy. She didn't think it'd be this bad with strangers but then again how often had she been around others that were not family or pack members? "What pack do you belong to? I'm from Fiori, I'm princess there my name's Heather." Heather tried not to trip over her words. "Talk"

"Excuse me?" Afrit had been in almost a trance as she stared out across the ocean. Her mind had wandered towards thinking about the pack and how quiet everything had been lately. She'd been hoping to get started training with her mentors (she'd really requested to learn everything) but it seemed as though it would have to wait. Maybe Dragon just had a lot on his plate? She couldn't imagine being an alpha was an easy job, but she admired him for it. He wasn't much older than her and already so important! The voice drew her out of her thoughts and her head snapped towards the owner of the voice. her muscles stiffened in surprise for half a second before she relaxed and let a smile wash over her face. It was another female, shorter than herself, but older. She was a pretty gray, almost like her mother, but with spots and a different color. She was really pretty - she'd never seen anyone with spots like that before. "What pack do you belong to? I'm from Fiori, I'm princess there my name's Heather." And she was a princess? How cool was that! "I'm Afrit, it's nice to meet you!" She said rather exuberantly. "I'm from a pack called Talis." Walk, "Talk" Think

Heather couldn't help but to wag her tail at the yearling. So it did occur to her that her scent was similar to Kharnage after all. Yet she fully believed she didn't want to compare one pack wolf to another, her concentration would be on this Afrit now! After all the other seemed to excited to meet her that Heather felt joy just swelling up in her heart. "It's nice to meet you!" she tilted her head to the side for a moment. Noting how pretty the young girl looked, Heather really hadn't noticed how others took notice to her appaloosa like markings. Roza was a bit like that, but Heather sadly took more after her mother. A grim reminder of how much she missed her mother. "What brings you to the land bridge this evening Afrit? I'm looking for more wolves to meet and learn about! See as Princess I'm studying so I can one day take over Fiori after my father retires!" she puffed up her chest proudly. Despite being an adult it was a pup like air that was sensed around her. No wonder either - she fed off the energy of others sometimes it seemed. Heather was so insecure about herself that meeting someone so friendly couldn't help but to trigger a good reaction for her. "Talk"

Afrit couldn't help but be excited since it wasn't often that she got to meet wolves outside of the pack. Since she was a yearling now it made it easier for her to travel - she no longer would get in trouble for leaving pack lands. Of course she was reluctant to go far since she wanted to be around her every dwindling family. Their father was gone and she was worried about their mother. She'd grown quiet as well as a few of their siblings, or maybe it was just her? She hadn't seen enough of them lately which was saddening, so she stuck close just in case she was needed. So meeting Heather was a nice refreshing change of pace. She listened as she explained why she was here, but it was the princess bit that really got her attention. Her tail waved more wildly behind her at the thought that she was meeting someone of royalty. Afrit certainly wasn't a princess, she wasn't the heir to Talis anyways, but her mother had been an alpha. Did that even count? "Oh, I'm just exploring. I want to be a warrior when I get older!" Walk, "Talk" Think

Heather was so interested in this yearling that she had almost forgotten what she was here for. Upon listening that the other was just exploring but also she wanted to a warrior when she grew up Heather's smile widened. She fell into a play bow for a moment before raising herself up again. This was her chance! She could do something great here that was a fact. Heather hummed and then sat down once more. "Have you have any basic training yet?" she asked the other. "I'm training mainly to be a warrior as well so I could teach you something if you wanted!" Heather nodded her head. This was perfect bonding time with the girl as well. After all when she had sparred with her brother that had felt great. "Talk"
