At a bouncy trot, the young she-wolf found herself exploring this land of willows. These trees were unbelievable! She had never seen anything like them! Breen probably had, they probably had been something she witnessed on one of his many adventures, but to Remy they were fascinating. Delighted yips and squeaks left her, as she inspected it's various parts. The branches gave way to vine like stems with so many leaves! Why hadn't her home had these? She bowed down on her front legs- in a playful gesture as she looked around at the moss at the trees roots. Everything about this land was so... weird! A subtle breeze ruffled the leaves, causing a branch to dip down and tickle her muzzle. An excited peel of laughter left her as she back up quickly, giggles pour from her maw. With the breeze- a strangers scent was carried, and she looked up excitedly. Though most all wolves were strangers here to her- she was always eager to see if she could find someone to play! Perhaps this stranger could tell her... more about these trees?! She let out a high welcoming bark to them, hoping they'd stray their path towards her, as she reared up on her hind legs- trying to see farther away. "Hello?!" She called, her light voice echoing around her. "Talk" "You" Think

liquid timing this to during the move to claim the Pantheon lands

Natalya had been having a difficult night. Her injuries from battle, though fully healed, had not left her without damage. She was certain she had an illness from infection, but she was consuming ginseng root and boneset with regularity to stave off the effects and help her immune system fight it. She had told no one but Poe, who was relieved not to need to make such long trips to gather supplies for her now that they were back in the west. Both herbs were available here in abundance. Unfortunately, Natalya had been unable to have Poe carry much on her journey. He would be able to help her deliver her old stock from her hole in the Emerald Valley to their new lands once they settled, but he could not carry the large amounts of herbs she needed on the way. The effects of the herbs she had ingested before leaving the mountain had long worn off, and she had become exhausted hiding the effects from her family. She had gathered what she needed, but left when they were sleeping to consume it elsewhere, out of sight. She was resting behind a tree as she waited for the herbs to begin to work when the sound of giggling nearby jarred her fully awake. She rose to a sitting position to listen better for the noise, something that turned out to be a grave mistake. If she had hoped for solitude, she would have it no longer. Her scent was carried downwind to the stranger, who called out to her. Reluctantly, Natalya rose and glided through the trees to meet the girl. "Yes?" she questioned quietly, sounding neither friendly nor aggressive. She was simply exhausted, and it showed.

Remy

Reared up on her hind legs, she slowly fell to the ground as a dark she-wolf approached. Her eyes widened happily, and her tail waved behind her. Her cerulean blue eyes studied the wolf approaching her, and Remy wondered if something were wrong with her. She seemed off- was she sad?! Maybe she could cheer her up! That idea excited her greatly. ?Hi!? She greeted the other wolf excitedly, bowing down slightly in a playful manner, her eyes glittering with happiness. ?I?m Remy! Who?re you?? She inquired, her tone blissfully ignorant of any hardships the other may be facing. A breeze ruffled the willow tree next to her, causing stem to tickle her side and she giggled, batting it away with her paw. ?What kinda trees are these?? She asked, her brow furrowing slightly. ?Can I ask you a question?? She asked, turning her hopeful gaze back towards the darker wolf. Remy didn't know where she was. Perhaps this dark stranger knew! She supposed she could have asked others a while ago where she was, but she hadn't. It perplexed her to not know, if she were ever going home- or if she were ever going to see Breen again. "Burn Baby Burn"

sorry so short! prof keeps giving me dirty looks for doing this in class XD

sorry this is crap, starting to feel sicky :X

Her neutral tone was met with excitement, something she actually dreaded in this moment. She purposely ignored the girl's first question, intent on keeping her name to herself for the time being. She feared the idea of this... Remy... seeking her out later to torture her with more energy. Slowly, Natalya fell back into a sitting position and took deep breaths, feeling the pain slowly fading from her body while a tired feeling settled in. "They are willow trees, child," she answered to the second question with a shake of her head. The third actually drew a scoff from her. "It appears you already have asked me more than one, so by all means, continue." She was in no shape to get up and leave at this moment, so she figured she best accept her fate while she could not escape it.
