Calmness drifted in the air. Titania, for once, felt a breeze of silence in her day. Usually she's romping through the forest, making a whole lot of racket and bumping into strangers than turn out to be her long lost cousin! But that wasn't going to happen today, was it?
The adventuring girl's curious gaze met a spectacular orchard that scraped the afternoon sky like sharp claws. She approached the wise-looking tree, emerald gems wide and twinkling. What a protecting tree to rest by after a long day's worth of exploring and questing. Perhaps she wasn't on much of a quest, but to her she was. The sparkling black girl had a vivid imagination, that was all that mattered.
After a few well-spent moments, the ebony girl would rest for the night underneath the orchard. Though her eyes were wide open. She couldn't sleep. Oh well, perhaps some thinking might tire her energy. She enjoyed her thoughts, though sometimes she could get a bit lonely. Okay, she was really lonely. She really wanted a true friend. Sure, Dusk was really cool and he was an amazing big cousin, but someone other than family. As if some handsome wolf was going to prance into the scene and whisk the ebony babe away. She growled at the thought. Not likely.

A dark color of tanned spots had found it's way into The Orchid. The trees had blocked most of the moonlight, but there was enough to spot the boy, not enough for the woman who was also in search of a place to rest her paws.
Caeto had been on a restless search for the rest of his family, and though he spent many nights without sleep, he knew he had to. And this place had seemed safe enough to take a few hours of shut eye.
The boy would only smell the first tree he came to, seeing if the scent of any of his siblings had come this way. But it was bare of any known scents, and he would enter anyway without the stress of wondering if anyone else had entered the area.
His paws would trek the ground, growing limp for every step he took. He needed this sleep, but he couldn't just collapse in the center of the orchid. But soon enough his ocean eyes caught the sight of a dark figure. His nose would twitch slightly, a female. His eyes would flick back and forth as he stopped in his tracks, asking the fae if it were alright for him to come by. Maybe lay with her so the two weren't alone. But if she refused, he would only walk off a distance before dropping to his knees and drifting to his dreams.

Whilst she was racing through her thoughts, a creamy brown figure came into her sight. The other wolf looked like he was searching for a place to rest to. The onyx dame sat up, giving a mere ruffle of her fur, twinkling emerald gems faced the man. He kindly asked her if it was alright if he came by. Of course it was! Did it look like she owned this orchard? Next he had suggested to sit with her!
"Of course you can lay with me," She glanced down beside the Orchard. There was plenty was room. Why not? But she quickly added. "Only if you don't mind."
Titania would wait for a response. And while she was waiting, she would perhaps lose herself in those ocean eyes. She admired this man's kindness, and of course took a fancy to his eyes but she didn't know who he was. He was a stranger and so she couldn't be too quick to judge.
The afternoon was warm and comfortable. Titania would love to share it with someone. Even if that someone was a new friend. The remaining golden rays of the sun shone down on the girl gleefully. In the beautiful spring breeze, the orchard swayed in a rhythm the girl would never forget. She would have to savor every memory. Because a memory was so precious.

The boy lowered his head once again to walk over to the girl, his body standing next to her before collapsing beside her. His lips drew a sigh, only showing how much sleep he had lost. His eyes closed for a few seconds before he realized slumber had taken over him. His dark eyes would open in slits before speaking.
"Of course." He would whisper.
He didn't recall the last time he rested, judging from his appearance it had been way too long. But he kept his orbs open just slightly so the fae would know he was willing to stay up just a bit longer. So that he wouldn't leave her alone.
The sun was close to the horizon, it's final rays shining through the branches. All his thoughts were wiped from his mind; his family, Zaria, would he ever see them again? It wasn't a worry to him anymore.

The man had sat down beside her, and with an exhausted sigh, she would lay alongside the male. The man looked like he hadn't rested in a while, though he wasn't falling asleep just yet. What would the onyx dame do? Perhaps she should introduce herself and get to know this stranger. The tanned and white wolf seemed quite nice, polite, quiet, why shouldn't she be friends with him? Showing the politeness that he showed her, she spoke in a gentle hushed whisper, just so she wouldn't startle the tired wolf.
"What is your name?" She asked curiously, her voice clear and deep. Though, every Oak in her family had a deep voice, perhaps that was where she got her voice. Electric green pools observed the man. He was tired. Perhaps he should rest instead of answering her silly questions. "If you're tired I understand."
Was she speaking too much? Why was she asking him so many questions? The poor fellow looked fatigued by his journey, whatever that might be. He should rest. Though a part of Titania wanted for him to stay awake, just for a little while longer. Just so the girl could feel the warmth of his presence and kindness.

"Caeto..." He would breathe out, "Caeto... Adravendi-Mathias."
The dame had showed her interest in him, wanting to get to know him. And though she had plenty of questions, he didn't mind. He wasn't feeling overpowered by them. He wanted to know a little about her too, but he was just too tired to let anything come out.
"No, I'm fine." He would assure her. He stared at the dirt a while longer before raising his head to meet her emeralds. His orbs asking for her name, but his voice staying silent. The boy's face was emotionless, but not because of his lack of sleep. He never held much emotion, but it was easily spotted by his facial expressions and eye contact.
He held his head up, the sleep that dug at him slowly going away. He would make it go away, only to speak with the girl, her name still a question to his ears.

Caeto Adravendi Mathias...
The name echoed in her mind. The girl quite liked that name. She repeated that name over and over to herself. What did it mean? Surely it meant something powerful or heroic. She was sure. And the family name, Adravendi Mathias. It sounded too familiar. There were others of that name roaming around the lands. What a strangely large family! And then there was the Armada family, my what a large group of wolves. And here Titania was, with her only cousins. One a disgraceful monster that shouldn't count as kin and the other the perfect big brother she never had. Before getting lost in those thoughts, she whispered the name one more time. Caeto...
"What a nice name," She exclaimed delicately, kindly looking at the resting man. "It suits you so well. "
And that was true. It did suit him so perfectly. Perhaps she should tell him her name, as he told her his.
"My name's Titania Oaks." She would whisper soothingly, dropping her head at her paws. Curious emeralds looked to the gentle clouds forming above. They looked so white and soft for her paws to touch. But they also looked so free. That particular word she loved. It best described her. She was carefree and light as well as enthusiastic and exciting. The clouds tumbled about, bringing a storm when angered but also revealing the sparkling sunshine when joyful. She smiled at that thought. Just like her.

What a nice name, it suits you well.
Though she was thinking of how popular the Adravendi name was, and maybe even Mathias, her response said otherwise. But instead of gawking on how great and perfect his bloodline were, he would act as though his name wasn't of pure royalty. His father had set down the throne a long while ago anyway. And at this time, it wasn't of his biggest concern if he were golden, or trash.
And she would give her a name in return. Even though his orbs asked for it, she hadn't seen it in the dark light from the sun. Titania, He would repeat in his mind, Oaks, Not a name he had heard of before. He knew of most names, tried to keep them locked in his head for a later reference. Maybe they could turn royal one day, or if they were to still trouble of his own...
He watched as she lay her head to her paws, he wanted to do the same but knew that the sleep would drag him under. She he kept his head above the ground. He wasn't well with keeping conversation, but he hoped the fae could help out. He didn't recognize any scent on her, none from a pack at least. "Do you reside anywhere, Titania?"

The birds of the evening played their flute-like tune into the sunset. All the surrounding trees watched as the sun slowly fell into the West. Crimson blood stained the flaming sky. Such a powerful and defining moment. It was the end of an old day, and the beginning of a new night. The fires of the dying sun leaped higher into the blue life, like a Phoenix Dragon, swallowing its prey. It was...beautiful, unforgettable. Softened emerald orbs looked back at her new friend, Caeto. What a special memory this would be.
Caeto had asked where she resided in. She really didn't know where belonged. She would wonder here and there, perhaps eat here and rest up there but she never sticked in one spot. She was a runaway rogue. She belonged to no pack. She was just a free, happy soul.
"I don't have a home, or pack. I'm just a rogue." She simply explained. The words drifted in her mind. Just a rogue. Just a rogue? Just a loner? Ha. She was more than that. She was Titania.

The girl would pay mind to the dancing colors of the sky set off by the sun. As Caeto normally would, but not tonight. His eyes would close to the whistling of the birds, his ears flicking in their direction. As he was normally poetic, well at least in his heart, tonight he could feel nothing but sleep. But at least he didn't feel sorrow.
The dark fae had spoke of only being a rouge, but that was only a way of caging how she really felt about herself. One who was to hide such integrity must have thought better of themselves. And Caeto knew that well.
"I don't stay somewhere too long." He would voice, ocean spheres re-opening to take a flint to the girl, "I'm on a prowl." He was so desperate to be with his family again. Leaving Zaria, and Zaria leaving him. But she had left him for good, he would never see her again other than tucked away in his dreams. He would do anything to have one more night with her, one more day, hour, even just a moment to feel her once again. But it was his own blame that took her away from him. He should have stayed with her until her dying breath. Only then would he have had a true closing.

Her eyes would leave the captivating sunset just for a moment to kindly glance at Caeto. Her soft orbs sparkling and warm like the falling sun. The tanned and creamy man had stated that he didn't stay in one place for too long, on a prowl. In a way, that was also what Titania did in her free and wonderful life. Prowling and lurking. Yep, that was her.
The faint white specks of ancestral stars came into view. Darkness was taking the earth quickly. Night was re-building its empire. The sun was almost defeated, fading away into the world, powerful faint rays showed a sign of vengeance. The sun would be back, claiming the world once more in light and beauty. Whilst the night was preparing the lands for a silver display of dancing moonbeams, the onyx girl would speak softly to her new friend.
"Thank you, Caeto," She thanked soothingly, her voice flowing gracefully like music. "Thank you for showing me the strong bond of friendship."
She shut her eyes. But just for a short time. Opening them again, faint distant flecks for the moonlight glimmered down on the grass, telling her that the day was nearly over.

"We have only just met, Titania." His orbs would move away from her, closing for his next words. "We can not share a bond so strong as friendship." His sapphires remained shut, "Not yet."
He was not meaning to sound rude or unpleasant, but it was the truth. The only thing he knew of the girl was her name and that she was a loner, just as he was. She seemed about his age, but he couldn't be sure. There were so many questions to be brought up. What season was she born? What kind of family did she come from? What were her deepest darkest secrets? It was only a matter of time to be had before one could know.
"But I do enjoy your company." His chin tilted toward her before his eyes opened yet again, "Thank you for letting me join you tonight." But his eyes would capture the stars at that point. He had missed the first few to show in the sky, but he wasn't so caught up in such fantasies of wishing on stars. His optics would turn to the sky, admiring their twinkle through the leaves. Spring was upon them, and he couldn't be much happier to see the night skies again.

We have only just met, Titania. We can not share a bond so strong as friendship. Not yet.
Titania you idiot, what were you thinking, friends already? With this man? You don't even know him!
Oh hush, he said not yet, we'll be friends before you know it.
Stupid girl, always in her imagination, a fantasy world.
She ignored the voice in her head, focusing more on the life from outside her eyes. The world was now completely wrapped in the darkness of night. Though the shadows were chased away by the protecting light of the full moon. The sky was so clear with gleaming stars and wisps of darting color. The wind spoke in a hushed whisper, bringing a warm breeze through the silent and sleeping trees. But Titania wasn't sleeping tonight. She would enjoy what the night had to offer.
"You're right." She agreed with his earlier statement, burying her head through elegant night fur. She lifted her head to the stars. Many ancestors looked down on her. What were they doing that was so important for them to be up there? She wondered about that, and when she does that can take a while. Though another thought came into her view, there were so many questions that she had...unanswered. Questions about Caeto. Though she didn't feel like speaking, it would sound like she's pushing and annoying.
But I do enjoy your company. Thank you for letting me join you tonight..
She gently sighed. "I enjoy your company as well."

Her sigh would draw his head to the ground. He wasn't meaning to upset her, but he wouldn't apologize. The fae had been lost in a world of fantasies, but that's not how he saw it. He saw someone desperate for someone to lay beside at night. Though he was sure it was a lover, and he was not a volunteer. He should have stood up and walked away at that point, but he wouldn't.
"What is there to know about you Titania?" His eyelids still stay closed, his maw still expressionless as it let out words, "You can't just be a rouge."
She was not stirring up a convo, so he would. But it wouldn't be long before he lost interest and let the darkness sink into him and rock him to sleep. So hopefully she would say something worth while, or else he would be gone in short time.

Blowing a sigh of relief, she was glad Caeto had started the conversation again. She could get shy at times, which was quite strange for her usual bubbly and loud personality.
What is there to know about you, Titania? You can't just be a rogue.
Maybe he was right. Maybe she was more than just a rogue. Then what was she? She could happily sum that up into two words.
"Adventure seeker," She whispered with a quiet chuckle. "I'm an adventurer. "
That wasn't it, was it? The girl had more to her life than adventures, right? Perhaps she would tell Caeto a little more about herself, not all, just a bit.
"If you must know more about me, I was born in the lovely season of spring," And with that, she would add proudly, puffing out her chest. "That makes me a year old."
What else was there to say? Lots! There was so much happening in her life, even if she's a yearling! She would tell it all!
"I'm not the only Oak running around. I've recently found my cousin, Dusk." Visions of the large onyx brute came to her mind, smiling at their family resemblance. The same black fur, the same muscular and large build. He was a great cousin. "Dusk's really cool for a cousin, he's like the big brother I never had."
Woah. She just realized she was way talking too much. She hated when her jaw would move without her thinking. Caeto would think she's a blabbering chatterbox! Oh, she hoped he understood how desperate she was to talk to someone. After all, she was an empty and lonely girl.

The male would slightly tilt his face to the fae, listening to every word. His reactions may have seemed uninterested, but he would remember every bit of it. There are other Oaks. He would keep this stored in his brain if he ever needed it. If he could have seen her face well enough, he could have memorized her structure as well as her build if she were ever to go missing or needed help finding any of her family members. But it was far too late to get a good look over her dark figure. The only thing he could spy were her emerald gems.
Just as his judgment called, she was about his age; only a season younger. He wasn't too well with recognizing age, only if the wolf was in development or full grown. He was still in the process of gaining a few inches, he hoped he would grow as large as his father. He had already grew to about his mother's height, but he still had at least half a year to add those last inches.
But after all her words spoken, he would only respond to one of them. Though he wanted to know of her, he wasn't concerned of how little she knew of him. He hadn't even thought of exchanging that information. "I am not far from a seeker." He would state, "But I do not crave adventure."
He liked that she had opened to him, though it wasn't really a soft zone she had let out. She seemed very spunky and social, definitely an opposite of the male and it was easily shown. He was glad to hear her voice break his ears, it kept the silence away. The silence that he held around himself. Or maybe it was the fact that he had grown lonely in these last seasons. Either way it felt good to have someone beside him singing him a lullaby.

Not much of an adventurer? Ah, that didn't matter to Titania. No-one had everything in common.
She had told a little bit about herself, which perhaps was too much. But there was so much more she wanted to tell him! But she was fair, and she would let Caeto exchange some of his memories and pasts. Whatever they might be. She didn't want to seem like a self-obsessed show-off. She shivered at that thought. Anything but. Yet she still was curious to know more about the tanned and creamy man.
"What about you? Do you have anything to share?" The girl would ask curiously, emerald orbs lighting up the night. She lowered her voice to a soft whisper, perhaps she was talking a bit too loudly.
She wondered what sort of family Caeto had. A large one of course. Maybe what his interests are, his favorite time of year, the most enjoyable place to rest? Of course, if he said those things, then she would tell hers. But he was open to say anything about himself. She didn't care what. Every word would bring her closer to knowing him.

"Hmm," His maw let out a quiet chuckle and a grin would almost tear at the corner of his lip, "What do you want to know," darling. He bit his tongue before saying so. A sudden pause at the end of his last word, it was almost obvious he was holding it back. He wasn't as willing as her to just throw information around. She would have to question him. But he wouldn't be holding anything back.
He was very quiet, reserved, but maybe he would open up to others if they asked him to. He just didn't know how. He had nothing to hide, nothing that was locked in sanctuary for no one else to know. He would even open about Zaria, that was probably his biggest regret. But his emotions wouldn't take control of him, he could hold them back fine. There wouldn't be a tear shed in any of his words. Regrets didn't bring him a shower of sorrow.
So what did the fae want to know? He didn't find himself as interesting. Maybe handsome, he had come from two royal families of the island. Holding a powerful yet beautiful body. But there was absolutely nothing about himself he was proud about. He didn't have secrets, he wasn't a reckless maniac. He wasn't an eventful, exciting, young man looking for adventure around every corner. He couldn't even tape a smile to his face, even if he tried. So what would have the fae so attracted to his personality?

What would do you want to know?
No! Don't ask me that! I'm bad at thinking of intellectual questions!
Why? Because Caeto may not want to share anything and may get offended for her asking that question! She didn't want to lose him now! Think, what sort of question could she ask? An interesting one though, not "what's your favorite color?"
What didn't she know about him? Ah, now she had a great question to ask him! Hopefully he would reply and think of it as a marvelous question. I hope...
"What are your dreams? Your plans for the future?" She would ask softly yet curiously. If he told her his dreams then she would tell him hers. But what were her dreams? What even were dreams? Well, she hoped Caeto had a dream, then perhaps she would figure out what was hers.

Heh, my dreams? The male may not have been a hundred percent sure, he wasn't even full grown. But he thought about it a minute, having a pause before saying another word. What filled his dreams? What was it that showed spotlight in his head at night? Zaria. But if it wasn't her, than who? Mom, dad, my brothers and sisters. But if not them, then what? Nothing. He sure didn't dream of hell, the only nightmares he had were those of himself, of no one else. As if an apocalypse had started. Maybe that of the epidemic.
He would take a sigh, concluding his thoughts and finally answering the fae beside him. "To find love," His orbs may have opened a slit to stare at the ground, another pause at his voice. "Like my parents."
If only he knew of Maverick. If he knew he had bared children with another woman, it would tear at him. He would probably hate his father, putting his mother through that defiance. But all was still a mystery to him. He had not reunited with his parents, and hopefully he would never hear of the bastard children. He could never look at Maverick the same.
