Free to explore to her heart's content, free from obligation, Satu found herself far to the north of where she had met up with her sister, and later her cousin Novella. Much of it had proved inhospitable, but then as it began to near nightfall she'd discovered something amazing.

A quiet lake, full of formations of ice. The silence here was solemn rather than oppressive, somber rather than dangerous as much of the north seemed to be. A gorgeous winter wonderland to wander through as she drank in the view. And then she'd set paw on the lake, and nearly gasped to see a sudden burst of light beneath the ice. A second pawstep drew another flash, and Satu stared in awe. What an amazingly beautiful place. Magical.

And to think she'd never have seen it if she had never fallen into that river. It was too bad she was to travel this spectacular landscape in solitude, but she'd certainly have a story to tell when she returned. Satu wondered if she'd even have the words to describe such loveliness but oh, how she would be willing to try...

She meandered through the many statuesque formations, each and every pawstep another swirling glow in the near-twilight.

Angel had wandered for days looking for a pack to do some jobs for but with his lick he would find one sometime never. It was hard to run into someone with such a big vast place but he liked the quiet. It somewhat made him calmer and less angry about life but it was hard not to be angry on a empty stomach. It was sad really you would think an assassin could at least find a rabbit but I guess he is only good with wolves. While he wandered hopelessly searching for food or a pack, he comes across a lake. He walks around the edges and crouches as soon as he picks up another wolfs scent downwind. He hides behind the bushes as he creeps closer to the strange smell to find out what and who he is dealing with. When he gets close enough he realizes it is nothing other than a little wolf. He takes a step out of the bushes and talks to the tiny wolf "Who are you," he barks in a deep but calming voice.

Between one step and the next, a voice startled Satu. She jumped, brown fur fluffing out in momentary alarm, and whipped her head around to face the speaker. It was a larger, white male she didn't recognize. To Satu's chagrin, she hadn't heard the wolf approaching at all. He didn't appear to be threatening at all, so Satu relaxed a bit and gave him a friendly smile. "I'm Satu", she spoke. "And you are?"

She hoped the other wolf didn't consider this his territory - there hadn't been any scent markers or anything, but rogues could be unpredictable. Still, he didn't seem to be really unfriendly, so there was no reason for her to be, either. She kept her tail and ears held at a confident angle, head cocked to the side as she awaited his reply.

He watched her closely as her muscles had tensed up than relaxed, listening to her soft silky voice. "My name is Angel," he says softly trying not to startle the what looked like a fragile wolf. He huffed before saying "It's a pleasure to meet you," as sweetly as possible, even though every soft word said was quietly hurting his head. "Are you in a pack," he asked with pleasure while his posture slowly relaxed from his tense state. He stopped and closed his eyes for just a second to enjoy the cold wispy air.

He shook his coat thinking about the cold and once he openness his eyes he breathed in slowly to try and pick up any other scents, but nothing was coming up. He thought about Satu and how he had frightened her so the last thing he said was "Oh and I'm sorry I scared you," he tried to say with sincerity but failed miserably. So he just looked down at the snow and stared into the white slush.

Satu dipped her head in acknowledgement of the other wolf's greeting. "It's nice to meet you too, Angel", she returned politely. "I'm not in a pack. I mean, I was, far away from here, but I left and came here, so I guess... uhm... I'm not," she finished somewhat lamely. "It's a long story." And one she probably shouldn't spill out to a random stranger, actually. But luckily the stranger, Angel, had spoken more.

"Don't worry about it. I shouldn't have been startled at all," she said dismissively about her surprise. "It's not your fault I wasn't paying attention. It's just so beautiful out here that I got a little caught up in it." She made a gesture with her tail that encompassed the lake she'd been exploring. "So how about you, Angel? What are you doing way out here?"

He huffed once more when he heard she wasn't in a pack. "Well than I'm wasting my time here if your not in a pack," he barked the snide remark. He lays down in the soft snow to cool himself off but it's shallow so it doesn't do much. Once he gets comfortable he looks at Satu angered at the fact he can't get a into a pack. It has been a long time since he has killed a wolf, he tinks for a while about how to kill her but he shakes his head violently to stop.
He thinks about how the wolf was not even remotely scared of him. That begin to make him mad at her but he held it in like most things that would fester up inside of him and when he died it would be barried with him. He gets up slowly before turnings around and starting to walking away. He stopped in his tracks and turned his head toward her briefly to say "I'm an assassin and I'm looking for a pack to join and do jobs for." He turns forward again and continues to walks slowly.

Satu couldn't help but lay her ears back in annoyance when the other wolf barked so rudely at her. Unthinkingly, she snapped back at him, "Look, you came to me so I don't see how it's my problem you aren't in a pack. This isn't even pack territory!" She managed to clamp her mouth shut before any more peevish words could escape. Adventure she wanted, but being torn apart by a much larger, obviously irritable wolf would not be a great way to end an otherwise great day. "Please forgive my rudeness," she muttered dutifully after taking a few deep breaths to chase away most of the annoyance.

She watched as Angel began to walk away before turning to add more to the conversation. Well, she could either forget him and go back to the ice formations, or she could follow him and risk getting her ears shredded. Honestly the lake just wouldn't be the same now that she knew she wasn't alone out here, so really there was only one option in Satu's mind. Skittering a little on the ice, the little wolf jogged to catch up with Angel. "Assassin, huh? That sounds exciting." Despite her earlier annoyance, she gave him a friendly smile. "You know, I have been considering joining a pack. Some of my cousins are in Ludicael, it doesn't seem so bad. Though maybe I might join one of the darker packs instead - wouldn't that make an interesting story to tell? Not sure I'd like some of the stuff the rumors say they do though." She spoke quickly and cheerfully as she trotted at the larger wolf's side.
