Wriggling in his father's jaws, Corsair dropped the short distance to the ground and took a moment to watch his siblings scatter in all directions. The desire to chase, corner, bark and bite was visceral, but he fought it down. Mother had told them they needed to be on their best behaviour and he didn't want to disappoint his parents by unleashing his heathenistic tendencies in public. Not if he could help it. Glancing over his shoulder at the bonfire, the distant lapping of waves called to him, and he trotted off towards the beach. Maybe he'd be able to spot Sid on the opposite bank in the fading light?

"speech"

Fic was watching the stars twinkle and shine above all else. She laid there peacefully, watching the waters lap at the shore. The Starlit Plains was a beautiful thing to witness, something which she was not allowed to do, for it was pack lands. A pack she was not part of. Not knowing what laid a head, the soft sound of paws caught her attention, pulling away at the thoughts. Noticing the few glances he gave to the bonfire that roared behind them.

He was silent, just watching. Fic rose up and padded the few feet to give him a gentle greeting. "Hello there. Would you like some company little one?" A smile as she sat down a few feet away from him, her tail curling at her sides. "I am Identification." The woman offered. The light from the fire casting over her already golden pelt.

"What might be your name?" Wondering if the large pup would give her his name, but wouldn't mind if he didn't. Today was the day to bring joy and hope.

Identification

A scowl might have crossed his face if he was like the other kids, instead the stranger's question was met with an intense stare, a stillness overcoming the boy as he weighed her up, tried to unnerve her, in a way that was more natural to him than breathing. Ears turned over at the tips, betraying that he had a bit of dog about him, though you wouldn't be able to tell from his towering height (for one his age). It was the fur that gave him away, the mane and the stare. Oversize paws flexed and relaxed, no sound offered in response. Clenched teeth were offered in what wasn't quite a grin when she asked his name, but he didn't deign an answer. Just that constant, intense stare.

"speech"

Although he did not speak, Identification had come to sit a few feet away from him, a slow hum leaving her maw as she over looked the ocean, feeling his intense gaze upon her own frame. Fic wouldn't waver or flee. She however found it in a way an adorable innocence although he was guarded, and for good reasons. Neither known who they could trust here at the bonfire except his family and his pack. He was able to trust them for sure. But Fic she only caught glimpses of a few she had come across and meant. A slow sigh left her mouth as stretching her paws in front of her laying her head down, her tail curling against her side. Giving the pup time to speak if he wished.

"Identification"

When his staring failed to unsettle her, those clenched teeth relaxed, a ghost of a grin passing the corners of his lips before it was gone again, a blink and a shake of his fur chasing away the tension from his shoulders and spine. Bringing himself to a seat he tipped his chin back, the tips of his ears flicking up with the movement, almost making him look... a little more wolfish.

He rolled her words over in his head for a minute, letting his gaze drift across the water towards home. "If you're Identification why do you need mine?" He thought he was very clever for a young pup, the thump of his tail betraying the joke even if it didn't show on his face. "I'm Corsair," He offered in place of an apology. "from the Raider's." If the commotion behind them was anything to go by, she'd probably expect trouble, better to give her a heads up before anything got out of hand.

"speech"

She didn't fail to take notice to the small grin the curved the corners of her lips. As the daffodil painted woman sat there upon the terra which was painted with parakeet blades. Some grey stones out lined with ruby, pineapple and tiger pigments from the fire that was behind the duo that made of Identification and the young pup, although he was tall for his age.

'If you're Identification why do you need mine?' The youngster questioned out, making her think for a moment. Maybe this could be a intellectual lesson for the young boy. She chuckled in a friendly manner, as a breath was drawn and slowly released. Hearing the thumping of his tail against the ground below them both. 'I'm Corsair, from the Raiders.' Was slipped from him.

Identification sat there. As mulling over his name. "Well greetings Corsair, from the Raiders." The woman smiled to him. "Names have meanings behind them all." Knowing that a name gives a unique identity for others. "And it is only polite when others offer their names that one gives theirs in return. And did you know that Corsair derives from Latin cursus, which means "course"."

It was a unique name given to the pup, but maybe he was going to be someone, he already was with the way he sat there proudly over looking everything around him, almost in a cautious way. "I hope that your parents won't mind you speaking to another that you just meant though. If you would like I can help you find them, or sit here and keep you company." To be honest, she worried about such a youngster alone.
