We Met One Stormy Night
The female had been on her way back to Secretua, yet the idea of heading to another sandy beach before she made her way home had caught her interest. She would head in that direction then, finding the crash of the waves on the sand a relaxing sound. The solitude she had spent had been wonderful. Peaceful. It had helped clear her mind, and so she was able to return back home, at least soon, to do her duties as a Secretuan. She was the Huntress.. one that needed to lead a hunt soon. There were always mouths to feed. It would also just be another good way to get to know those of her pack a bit better.
The female would pause those as she first set paw on those beaches. There were other scents here... multiple ones. A family? A... pack? Akemi would pause, the remains of her ears giving a thoughtful twitch as her single orb scanned up and down the beach. No sign of bodies... and there weren't really the sort of borders one would find at a pack. Deciding to press on she'd lift her head and walk down the sandy land to where the water crashed on the shore. The sky had grown dark, graying as a storm rolled on in. Head would lift to the sky as large droplets of water began to fall on her face. It was going to be a stormy night. "Hear me talk," 'but read my thoughts.' |

A voice called to the young woman from over a distance as the rain started to come down in large drops. The remains of her ears would shift and head would shift, the scarred beast looking towards a stranger marked with gold. The female would eye him carefully, on guard, though he didn’t seem threatening. No... He was grinning, tail swishing behind him. He looked to just be curious, really... About her appearance here. Akemi would frown some, still uncertain. There was some uncertainty still about meeting a non-Secretuan male alone. “Your beach huh? So is this indeed a pack then? Or one in the making?” Her words were a bit wary, guarded. “I was just planning on visiting a short while before I went back home. The sound of the waves... Is relaxing.” Her words still came slow, her red eye not leaving him for a moment. "Hear me talk," 'but read my thoughts.' |

So they were pack sized and yet not a pack. Akemi felt a bit of relief at this though not by much. She wasn't scared, but she was wary. The female would take on any of them, including the large brute here. Akemi was a spitfire, a warrior in her own right. Though she knew her limits, the chance death could loom if she set off all those who lived here. They had claimed the beach as their home, though not officially in a claimed sense it could still be a bit overwhelming to nearby packs to know so many lived together so close. Perhaps they were going to make it official soon? Akemi could only wonder how Rune might take this information. They were close enough to the beach after all.
His word of warning caught her off guard too. Electricity... he meant the lightning? She would blink, head tilting slightly to the side as she continued to wear her frown. "Sounds rather odd. Though the forces of nature are rather mysterious." She'd glance at the water for a moment, debating about trying to make a break back to Secretua or not. That was then he spoke again, giving an unsuspected offer. The offer of shelter from the storm, and reassurance no harm would come to her was given. Akemi couldn't help but smirk some, a bit of a playful light coming to her single eye.
"Oh come now... do you expect me to be some weak little fae just cause my body is a little roughed up? I'm more than capable of taking care of myself." The words left her in a chuckle. They were light, not at all angry. "Though you've got a point. I've seen how the storms get around here... with it rolling in so quick I'd probably catch my death sooner than I'd make it home... so I'll take you up on your offer of shelter." "Hear me talk," 'but read my thoughts.' |

Akemi would shake her head, keeping her smile. “It is quite alright. If you had doubts you would not be the first, and you wouldn’t be the last that I could prove wrong.” Her smile was a bit knowing. Sure she had faltered in fights previously, but that didn’t mean she was weak! No, she was strong. She had plenty of strength and what she lacked in actual size she made up for in sheer willpower. Akemi would give a small nod, following after the stranger. He seemed nice enough at least. Not quite like Rune, but certainly not unpleasant.
She would blink as he suddenly jumped into the den, ducking into the shadows and curling up at the sign of thunder and lightning. She would blink, raising a brow as her single good eye looked up at him. She wouldn’t judge though, sliding into the den after him as the rain continued to come down outside. “It is alright. We all have something that we are afraid of. If yours is thunder or lightning, or both, so what? Fear is a natural thing.” Akemi would settle her body down, letting out a small breath. “Ah yes... Where are my manners? I am Akemi Miu Hróðvitnisdottir.” She would introduce herself, though she didn’t expect the male to remember her last name. Not many did it seemed. "Hear me talk," 'but read my thoughts.' |

When she introduced himself he blinked before he chuckled, shaking his head. "I am terribly sorry, but I greatly doubt I would be able to repeat that." He said with a laugh, grinning up at her. "Akemi, however, is a gorgeous name. Does it have meaning?" He asked then, motioning for her to settle in the den. He hoped she wouldn't mind if he stuck around for a little while to chat, he enjoyed his new friend. But if she were tired, he would leave and go hide in his storm-proofed den, knowing Serefina was probably waiting for him since the first clap of thunder. Oh, he loved his sister so.
The female couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle of her own when he answered saying that he doubted that he would be able to repeat her name.That was alright... Sometimes it was any wonder it left her own mouth. Perhaps it merely came after so much practice. She would close her single eye, not used to being complimented. She would give a slow nod after a moment however, and she would find her voice. “It does. In fact... Both of my names do. My first name, Akemi means beautiful sunrise, or dawn. My middle name, Miu, also has the meaning of beautiful, as well as feather. I guess it was a hint at my size for the middle name.” Akemi would open her eye again, glancing back out to the storm as she settled down, getting comfortable. She would give a soft sigh, her thoughts wandering. “Are... You and your family close?” She would finally ask. "Hear me talk," 'but read my thoughts.' |
