Completely still like a statue, a light colored female sat upon the riverbank at the bottom of the falls. Ears had been placed carefully atop her skull, openings opposite each other. Demeanor was relaxed, tail laying over her paws. When it came to her expression however, it was contorted, wrinkled in displeasure. The girl was trying to hone her hearing, for she knew that her nose would not always be reliable, especially when in or near water or downwind of somebody. That is why she chose this spot claimed by the pack she would now call home with Faolan, he said it was called Sunset Falls, a waterfall. "Deep breaths darling, you can do it." Baritone tone would speak up, the pile of black fur beside the female shifting, a head poking out and giving an assuring smile. His paw would slip out from beneath his tail and settle gentle on hers, giving it a soft pat before pulling back beneath his tail as well as his head. Enola features softened at her companion's voice, head turning to her left and tilting downward to stare blindly at Pluto. He would would try to calm her frustrations, assuring her she could do this. It made her dark lips turn in a sweet smile, taking in a deep breath at his patting. He was right, she just needed to take deep breaths and let herself go then she would be able to focus. One nod of her head and she would lift her head and turn it back to its original position, re-closing her eyes and taking a breath. If she could drown out the waterfall here, then she shouldn't have trouble with blocking out other loud noises anywhere else. "enola speech pluto speech"

The black female's time was almost coming to an end. She had lived a long life, one filled with life-changing events she would not take back at all. Silent had experienced lust, young love, heartbreak, loss of a child, numerous love affairs, more children, and finally a reunion or two with her beloved Bronze. Both of the latter reunions had resulted in her being pregnant with his children and she felt blessed for having such things happen to her. As she thought about her last litter, she gave a soft sigh. They had grown so fast and yet, she couldn't be more proud of them. All four would be turning two soon, when it seemed that only yesterday, she had them sleeping at her side. As she walked through the familiar lands of Ludicael, she couldn't help but feel blessed. After all she had been through, she was still alive and kicking. The mere idea of kicking resulted in a small oomph coming from her stomach. Silent took a second to halt, deeply inhale, and then pursue walking. She was not going to get sick with this one, oh no...Morning sickness had always plagued her, but she didn't intend on dealing with it anymore. Not at her age. The closer she got to the end of the forest, the louder the falls rang in her ears. Emerald eyes perked to look up at the landmark, gallons upon gallons of water cascading from the cliff above her. Mist seemed to form around the rocks that gathered beneath the water, giving the place a pleasantly eerie look. Silent couldn't help but smile, for she instantly remembered her own home behind a series of falls when Alione was younger. In another world at another time...that was when it happened. Silent was then pulled out of the memory when Faolan's scent briefly struck her nose. She looked around, expecting to see the silver ghost around her, but unfortunately, he was absent. Instead, she saw the source faster than she had expected: a young girl, sitting at the edge of the stream, with eyes focused on a skunk that stood next to her. A curious eyebrow rose and she refrained from stepping any closer. Skunks could be dangerous if one crossed by too close; she didn't want to smell like one. The wind then changed direction and took Silent's scent with it. She knew that the girl would realize she was there, and so silently, she reclined to her haunches and waited for her response. If this girl smelled of Faolan, she must be a major part of his life. "talking"

Focused with the training exercise, Enola of course would not recognize the sound of footsteps behind her over the roaring falls, nor Pluto. The skunk would however catch the scent first when the wind shifted directions, bringing a wolf's distinct smell. Having gotten used to the Ludicael pack scent, the male would recognize it mixed into this one, so he wouldn't whip around immediately like he had with others their first few days here. Casually he would lift his head and turn it in the direction the scent was being blown from, dark, beady eyes falling upon a black female. ?We have a visitor, fellow pack wolf.? He'd inform his friend, remaining by her side but pushing himself into a sitting position, keeping his gaze locked on the older woman. A bit late to recognize the scent, it wasn't till Pluto spoke that the girl had fully caught it. For a moment she had grown worried, not exactly liking somebody was approaching in a place like this but then instantly relaxed when her companion said it was a a pack mate. With an exhale she would pick herself up, body turning, trying to face the direction the scent had come from. ?Um... hello...? Voice was soft, delicate. Ears faced forward, head tilting slightly to the side, trying to catch any sounds the visitor made or spoke. Pluto raised when she did, standing on all four beside thee girl, tail lifted and ready should anything happen to his friend. "enola speech" "pluto speech"

She watched with interest as the girl turned to the skunk's words. Her friend remained on guard, as he should have been towards a stranger. Silent's emerald eyes twinkled and she gave a soft smile as the girl remained a good distance away. The ebony female was sure that she knew who the young lady was and in no time, her identity would be revealed. All Silent had to do was simply talk to her and remain patient. The old, yet vibrant female reclined to her haunches, taking her time due to the age of her bones. Lustrous black tail swept around her hind legs, encasing them with her thick plumage. Slightly bulging belly showed itself on either side of her usual slender body, an observation she didn't mind showing in the least. Lightly clearing her throat, her voice carried over the soft background music of the falls. "Hello," she started, tones warm and tender. "I haven't seen you here before. I am Silent...welcome to Ludicael." "talking"

Ears twitched, head turning the slightest, listening carefully and locking onto the stranger, trying to block out the roaring falls nearby. Movement, but it didn't sound like it was moving close to her and Pluto, remained in the same spot. Was the person sitting? The girl's head shifted, muzzle pointed down towards the ground, lids blinking. The woman now cleared her throat and spoke up, voice warm and tender almost like her own mother's. She voiced Enola's appearance, introducing herself and welcoming the young girl to the pack. Brows would come together in thought, the voice sounding familiar. Without thinking about it she would take a small step towards the older woman, muzzle lifting, nostrils flaring as she tried to gather more of her scent. There was something odd about it from the usual scents of their kind and pack, two more she couldn't quite catch at first. There. Tail began to swing gently behind her, the corners of her lips tugging softly in a small smile. Pluto had been observing both women, dark eyes going back and forth between the two. He may not know a lot about Enola's species, but he did know enough to see that this older woman was a bit round in the belly area unlike his companion. Was that just from her age or was she pregnant? Eyes narrowed at the thought, she seemed pretty old, why would she risk her own health and the children growing within her like that? Whatever, he'd dismiss those thoughts quickly to refocus on the women. The older one introduced herself as Silent, and Enola seemed to have a strange reaction to it. He'd lower his tail, curiously watching the girl sniff at the air. Did she know the woman and was trying to reconnect with the scent? "Silent..." She spoke in a soft tone, sniffing a few more times before relaxing once more. "I think I heard my mother mention you before." She added on, head tilting to the right and downwards at Pluto. She would shift her foreleg, feeling his warm body against her before turning her attention back to the woman. "Faolan's mother, yes? I am Enola." Yes, she could remember it now. Back in Seracia her mother had shown Faolan a few herbs that he could then give to his parents aging bodies. "enola speech" "pluto speech"

The way Enola reacted was enough to make Silent's smile widen. Turns out Faolan's early training in Seracia had helped her get used to the settings around her. Enola was cautious with her movements and how she tried to figure out where Silent's frame was located. If only the ebony woman had been more focused on what was around her instead of pursuing the handsome men in her day...ah, well, she was content with where she was. When Enola finally figured out who the woman was, she voiced her conclusions. Silent nodded, ignoring the fact that Enola could not see her make the movement. "You are correct, I am Faolan's mother." Emerald green eyes twinkled as she watched the girl introduce herself. "Pleasure to finally meet you, Enola. I have heard good things about you..." Her gaze broke away from Enola to her little friend in front of her. "Hello to you as well, gentleman. I presume you are a close companion with Enola?" "talking"
