What Is Life For, If Not For Joy?
The south, Birch had decided, was way to hot for his liking in this summer heat. It clung to his fur, heating up his fur of browns and white. A soft sigh would escape the male. He was glad that he wasn't planning on staying here in the South, merely taking a quick poke around before he made his way back home to Fontamo Bay. The thought of home made him smile, his heart surging with a deep happiness. It felt wonderful to be able to go home to somewhere he cared about... to his wonderful mate and sister, as well as his new friend Ellis. He wanted to meet all of the other wolves who would be within their pack as well, and meet the fabled Ebony alphess Raisa. All of that would surely happen in good time.
The scent of a stranger would intrude his nose and Birch would find himself wandering off towards it, ears perked with curiosity. He could smell that this female was in heat, though that wasn't the reason for his approach. No, Birch had other things on his mind. A warm, almost naive smile would cross his face as he practically bounced up to her, full of his usual energy, with his head held hi. The water certainly looked tempting, though the male wasn't going to be rude and act like he didn't see her just so he could get a drink first.
"Greetings madam. Do you hail from here in the South?" He would ask, light purple eyes searching for her own gaze.
"Speech"

The female he approached well, wary of him it would seem. He supposed that it would make sense and all, with her heat coming on. But from Birch she would have nothing at all to fear, even if it took her a little bit of time to realize this fact. From what he could pick up on the female she didn't seem to hold a pack scent, though that didn't necessarily mean that she didn't have somewhere she called home. He would smile gently as she answered, lowering his furry rump to the ground. If anything he hoped that the action would comfort her some more. He certainly couldn't do anything to her while he was sitting, right?
"I see... perhaps I make a judgement on you too quick, but is it too bold to assume that you might not have a home? Or are you simply not the type to run in a pack?" The words that continued to leave Birch's mouth were calm and warm. The male still followed his old habits, of working to better the lives of others if he could some way. He was definitely more naive and pup like at a glance, though he could get serious if the situation called for it. But now was not one of those times, and he continued to watch the femme with a kind look in his eyes.

She certainly didn't give him a lot to work with, now did she? She would clarify that she was a rouge, and Birch would give a small nod. He understood that she didn't have any reason to trust him, especially considering they just met. Besides, her current state was probably making her all the more wary of strangers too. But Birch wouldn't take it to heart, however, and he would continue speaking to the femme, his words never once changing in their tone.
"Traveling is certainly a wonderful thing for one's soul. You never know who you might meet, or what you might learn. Though I do it less now a days I find myself sometimes wandering the lands of Alacritia... it is much bigger than I thought, though I believe I am slowly getting the hang of it." Birch would chuckle softly. Heck it was only by accident, when he first arrived, that he had found his sister and then later his mate.
"Should you ever choose to settle down in a pack there are certainly a lot to choose from here." Birch would continue to gently smile. "There is a larger pack here in the South I've noticed, and ones of equal size in the East and West. There is also, from what I have heard, a great empire in the North as well." He continued to speak, sharing the information with her, though he assumed she might already know of these more well grounded packs.
"Though should you like smaller numbers, or just need some assistance at some point, there is also my mate's pack, or rather what will be our pack." Whether a member or an alliance, or even just having someone take a thought of joining, Birch supposed that all was good. "We're a small group occupying Fontamo Bay at the moment. All of us are friendly, so if you ever find yourself in a bind you are welcome to visit." Birch would then shift the attention away from pack talk, so the female knew he wasn't pressuring her into joining anything, merely passing along information. "Have you learned anything interesting in your wanderings around Alacritia, miss?" It was then that he would chuckle. "Ahh, how rude of me. I'm Birch Netonya by the way. If I may, could I have the honor of knowing your name?"

Though she did not trust his presence, as that was still clear, the femme kept her manners, and didn't completely bash away his words. The male would flick the end of his tail back and forth, almost as if he was a cat. Lately the male had a surplus of energy that would show in his movements, even in just something like this. His beloved mate would be bearing pups later in the season... and finally he would become a father. The pack was on its way and all was truly falling into place, though he had become a lot more edgy when it came to protecting ?owyn and making sure she was taken care of.
Birch would give a small nod as she said nothing of particular interest came up. A little disappointing, but it wasn't the end of the world after all. The female would introduce herself and he would make sure to note her name in his mind. "Emer, it is a nice name." The male would close his light purple eyes, feeling the wind brush over his fur. "Wandering has its own type of beauty to it... don't you think? Even if you are not always with others, you have no weight to worry about, and freedom to do as you choose."

What Is Life For, If Not For Joy?
What was it, truly, that drove a wolf to seek the freedom of the outside world? Even if their lives were not bad, even if life was almost perfect and peaceful, some wolves still sought to leave the safety of their old homes, their family, and take their chances with the world. Sure there was freedom, the will to do for yourself with nothing to limit you, but sometimes one had to wonder if it was truly worth the cost. As a loner you were alone, vulnerable, especially to wolves with darker, cruel hearts. But in the end it was the choice of each wolf to make such a decision, and to see if it would work for them or not.
Birch would give a nod at Emer?s own words, light purple eyes traveling skyward. ?I suppose you could say I speak both from personal experience and not.? He had spent his fair share of time as a loner, and a bit of time as a pack wolf. Personally Birch much more preferred the company and safety that a pack provided, though he did enjoy the freedom of being able to wander as he pleased too. In the end it would simply be finding a balance between the two, so that he could live the perfect life with his beloved and future children.
His gaze would trail back to Emer, and a gentle smile would grace his features once more. ?I thank you kindly for granting me company, miss Emer. I appreciate the chance to talk to someone new.? He would pause before speaking again. ?As I said before, if you ever need help with anything you are welcome to come ask my pack, and, if you would prefer to be alone now, I can take my leave if you wish.?

So his offer was there, though his time with the brown female would be drawing to a close. She didn?t appear to be annoyed with him or anything of the sort, though the male could almost sense her simple desire to be left alone. It was something that did not necessarily need to be spoken and Birch was going to respect that. He would gently smile again as she spoke, shaking his head as he readied himself to leave.
"Speech"
"I assure you that I won?t. This is goodbye then. May life keep you well, whether our paths cross again or not.? It was a simple farewell really, and with that Birch would turn, heading off on his way as his mind turned to other things.
-Exit Birch-
