Excuse me I think you forgot something

Cannival The lioness found it hard to lean down and sniff the ground for scent trails with a wiggly pup riding shotgun but she managed just fine. The eruption had displaced many a wolf and on her travels west she'd come across a small child who'd apparently escaped their family in the confusion. The black and white pup squirmed and cried when Cannival picked her up but after a while of walking and murmured conversation they'd come to a decision they both approved of - Pestilence would ride upon the lioness' shoulders like a good girl, and Cannival wouldn't eat her. (Though she wouldn't have anyways, Pestilence needed her confirmation) As she approached an area heavily scented by strange wolves, Cannival begun to get nervous. Pestilence had reassured her more then once that no one would eat her, but the lioness couldn't forget the last time she'd had a pup in tow escaping a fire. She stepped up to the border and waited, and waited some more. Wolves usually howled, but.. Canni somehow thought a lioness' roar at the border wouldn't be well received. She looked back at Pestilence and cleared her throat. "Would you mind?" She asked the pup kindly. Pestilence obliged, letting loose a howl for Sirius specifically. Her mother would just kill her if she knew she'd run away, at least Sirius understood. |

Cannival Cannival reached over her shoulder to collect the pup from her shoulders to deposit on the ground at her feet. Pesto had a sullen expression on her face, upset at losing her riding buddy but not wanting to interrupt the adults' conversation. "I don't trade in infants." She told the direwolf with a small smile. "I found her wandering outside your... borders - if you can call them that - and felt I should bring her home." The lioness lifted an oversized paw to put upon the pup's head and ruffle it gently. She pushed Pestilence gently towards Sirius, and the little pup walked dejected back to her guardian. "My name is Cannival." She offered politely. "I want only for friends and alliances. I've found myself... nomadic, lately. It's always nice to know you're surrounded by allies while sleeping under the stars." A familiar scent suddenly hit the lioness' nose and her brows furrowed in confusion. Her sense of smell was not as acute as that of a wolf, and she was unable to place it mixed among this pack of strange wolves. Curious. She looked over his shoulder as if she could see the owner of the scent just beyond him, and frowned. |

Cannival The lioness did not miss how protective this Sirius was of the child, and she wondered if it might be his own. She didn't fault him for it, for a lioness encroaching on a wolf pack's land with one of their pups in tow could be disastrous. Thankfully he seemed to be keeping his protective energy on holding tight to the child instead of attacking her. "You misunderstand." She replied patiently, casting a smile down to the pup buried in his chest. "Trading a child for a favor is still trading a child. I need nothing from you today nor tomorrow and not in the foreseeable future." It made her a little sad to think that this wolf might not be able to recognize a gesture of good faith, any wanderer who stepped over a misplaced pup should return them without expecting anything in return. "I should be on my way but it was good to meet you, Sirius of Ashen." She made she she'd remember his name in the future, should she stumble upon him again. "Keep an eye on the little one." The lioness paused to give a cautious smile to the direwolf, and then turned away from him to leave. A part of her wondered if he'd attack now that her back was turned, but she did have need of friends and allies and a large part of that relationship was to give them trust. -exit?- |

Cannival Cannival was amused at how vehemently the direwolf insisted a favor in return for the pup's safe return and she sighed softly as he spoke up again. There wasn't any favor at all she could think of that he could fulfill, nor would she envision herself wandering back to this pack at a later date if she was ever in need. It felt good though for someone to feel indebted to her, as she had felt towards two packs now. "Very well." She agreed gently. "I need nothing from you now, but if it makes you feel better then I will remember your offer and should the day come that I'm in need, I'll find you here." If the lioness knew of the precious slave they held within their borders she'd have found her favor - and fought for her if the favor was not enough - though no one had told her Motif was missing and as far as she knew, the little yearling was safe with Abaven where ever they'd moved to. |
