Sounds of water reverberated in the male’s ears as he and his larger companion soon happened to make landfall. Relief washed over the young male as his body seemed to give way onto the sandy shores of the land Priscilla described to him. A part of him even wondered if this was even from this world due to the strange coloration that a lot of the flora and sand seemed to possess. All Osiris could really think about was that he needed to start swimming more, especially with how much air he was taking in as he tried his best to catch even the slightest amounts of air. His dual-colored orbs shifted to meet his lover’s making sure that she was holding up. After all, she seemed more stable than he was, especially with his rather...pathetic stature.

He stood upright after a little bit of time, shaking the access water off his frame. The land here seemed to be stable, and certainly was beautiful. After all, the young wolf hadn’t really seen a lot of lands like this, so it was certainly interesting to say the least. And, considering he was still hoping to become a well-known healer; a lot of lands could be beneficial in training, considering he was still learning about the plants that grew around the area.

“This place is rather pretty, ‘Cilla...I just hope that everything goes smoothly,” he commented, some nervousness coursing through his body. After all, it was not that long ago he confessed his feelings to the woman, and with the possibility of joining a pack...he would certainly have to be on his toes and help any chance he could if he were to be accepted. But, Osiris was willing to take the risk and accept any challenge he faced head on. His mother definitely did that, and therefore he would honor her memory by helping people like she wished. Any life he managed to help and save was good to him.

He calmed his nerves a little by pressing up against his lover in a caring fashion, showing any form of support he could as he gave her a playful nuzzle. Whenever he was with her, the male truly felt happy; like he didn’t have to wander alone anymore. That thought alone made the dark-colored brute truly at peace.

Priscilla was overjoyed, her heart lighter now that she had not only reunited with Osiris but had spoken with him on their feelings. To know that what she felt was returned in kind… it gave her butterflies as she thought of what the future could hold. She was happy, so endlessly happy, as she made her way back across the western lands of Boreas and even made the swim to the island where her family had been staying. Everything seemed to be coming along again, thankfully, and she was endlessly grateful that, even in the face of disaster, such a beautiful feeling and relationship could be born.

They made landfall and a bit worriedly the female nosed her beloved’s shoulders. He bore a smaller body than her own, one not near as fit with muscle… but what he lacked in physical capabilities he made up for in his heart. Osiris cared so much for the safety of others, wanting to help… and the fact that he wanted to stand with her in Lirim had her feeling more sure than ever that she had made at least some good choices in her life. It wasn’t perfect, no, but Priscilla was finding her happiness and her place. Everything from here on now was a new beginning… for her, for Osiris, and for their pack.

While she waited for him to catch his breath Priscilla remained by Osiris’ side on the beach. She would not rush him, aware that he had not been in a pack, and that he could be even more nervous than he was letting on. But she wasn’t worried at all… she was confident that her uncle would welcome a set of paws willing to learn more of their chosen craft and have the desire to help. She was calm, content to let their moment on the beach linger just a moment longer as she let her dual colored eyes close as their wet fur pressed together. Priscilla felt whole and filled with a new determination to aid her pack. No matter what the future held… she would help them. She would be there for Lirim, her family, and her mate.

“It will go fine.” The young woman had no doubts as she opened her eyes and gave Osiris a gentle smile. “Things are only going to get better from here. It got a bit rocky for a moment but… everything will come back stronger. The lands, the pack… We’re all going to work together to make that happen. We’ll be better than before… this is a new start… the next adventure.” Her smile turned to more of a grin. “Get ready, Osiris. You’re going to meet my uncle. Just breathe and be yourself; you’re going to do great. A wolf willing to pull their weight in a pack is a welcome thing in times like this.” That said ‘cilla tilted her head back and called for Torin. Once they took care of Osiris’ joining inquiry they could talk about the state of the lands, Lirim’s packlands included.

With any luck at all the following season the land would be stable enough to support them even if it was a bit more work to get things back to normal.

Torin couldn't say he'd really been expecting his niece to call for him, they were in the beginning stages of moving the pack back. Mostly that meant Torin checking up on the lands to make sure they hadn't been damaged so badly they were unlivable and that there were no squatters. It also meant trying to make sure they were stocked up for their return, a harder task to make with Derecho's sudden disappearance.

The man couldn't help but feel a thrill of dread go through him as he heard his niece, it didn't sound like bad news but at this point, it was kind of all he expected. Still, he would endeavour to not keep her long and trotted towards the shore. He picked up an unfamiliar scent as he approached, drenched in the tang of saltwater but unfamiliar nonetheless, but Priscilla was also there and her call hadn't been that of a defending wolf calling for backup against an invader. As the pair drew into view that suspicion was confirmed as he could see the physical closeness between the smaller man and his niece, Torin's brow quirked as he approached, adopting an easy but still dominant stance. He was not here to scare off his niece's companion but he was also making it clear he held the authority here.

"Hello, I'm Torin Dux of Lirim and Priscilla's uncle, what brings you to our borders?" He asked the male, casting a quick friend glance at his niece as he mentioned her name, the truth was he had a suspicion. Priscilla had mentioned an Osiris before and while he'd never met the man he had reason to believe this was him. Now what it was the pair planned to do exactly he had some theories but wouldn't assume anything.

Dual eyes focused heavily on the large male that stood before him and his lover. Priscilla had brought up her uncle to him occasionally, so the young brute at least knew who he was and what was probably to be expected of him. Osiris kept to his submissive roots, not showing any form of dominance...then again, with his size, it’d be damn near impossible for anything of that nature. However, his mother was an alpha to a degree, so at least they knew some form of information as he spoke calmly to Torin. “Hello, Sir, my name is Osiris and I was hoping to join the ranks of Lirim,” the male stated, waiting for a moment as he felt like he had to choose his words carefully so as to not make anything awkward. Though, judging by everything that was already happening...he seemed to be failing. “I’m good at hunting and fishing for others. I’m also currently in the process of learning to heal others, but I do know how to treat basic ailments and injuries. But, regardless,, I am always willing to learn new things and see what the pack has for me,” Osiris explained, keeping his eyes trained on Torin so the older brute knew he had his attention. This was almost an entirely new situation for the male to endure. But, he loved ‘Cilla with all of his heart, and couldn’t think of leaving her. So, he prayed that Torin would allow them to be together in the pack, especially since the dark-colored male knew he’d have to pull his weight and show his worth a lot more than the other wolves. But, that was his beliefs alone, so anything could really happen. ""
