Warm gray paws lightly padded through the pack lands, inching along with precise footing that lay silent with each step. The head of the solid creature was lowered, streamlined and fixated on the area around him while his head flitted between subjects, debating with himself. Should he enter from the same side he had before? It would take more than a day to circle the pack's territory to do just that...but would it be worth it? Instead he was padding in form the east, having already entered one too many dangerous territories. But it would be all worth it in the end for the lone wolf whom had befriended one of the offspring of Agua Azul.
The she-wolf had been but an adolescent then, but a few months had flowed by, allowing time to slip with it and as it elapsed into several lonely moons later, Gren had come to wonder to himself if the she-wolf had grown to an adult. Surely she had. He was curious as to how she was fairing and if she was managing with her infamous family. It was the pack's fame that kept Grencia in check. The bishop marked male was wise to not barge directly in, otherwise the king and queen's knights would surely impede upon his venture. Perhaps end his life in the process. Cautiously he continued in, searching specifically for the orange and blue female's scent.
Finally he caught whiff of the familiar smell and felt his tail rise with anticipation. A warm expression slid across his face as he moved forward, following after. He only hoped he wouldn't be intercepted along his way. Some few hundred feet away the black wolf listened to the murmur of the rocking ocean, loving the sound even though it was quite distant. It rumbled, crashed, roared and purred all in one. His hackles rose with ever slosh while his paws carried him forward slowly.

Upon hitting adulthood, Shezaam had grown more aware of her family, and had shyed away much more often than she had as a child. She despised the constant arguing, and she preferred the quiet country life.
She had never forgotten her private little area, and she traveled there daily.
She had not see Grencia in a long time.. It had been seasons, of that she was sure.
She was young last time she met him, and now she had aged into a fine adult.
She was just as beautiful as ever, with her orange pelt, with the stormy blue swirled effect it seemed to carry.
Her delicate nose caught a familiar, yet distant scent this day.. SHe had been sitting, watching hte pack members conversing down below her little hill she was atop.
Looking over,she sniffed again, and rose from her resting place,and trotted to the scent.
"Hello?"
She called,fairly sure that this was not her pack.

The dark featured creature paused mid step while his muzzle turned toward the direction he had thought he heard a noise. Lowering his head, he shifted, moving his shoulders fluidly as he silently padded forward, curious in a sense, but more interested in seeing if the one he had heard was friend of foe. His heart started to beat faster, threatening to give away his position while he was otherwise invisible.
This scene seemed familiar. The distant voice, the dark atmosphere, and the intensity of risking ones self in a vicious territory. The voice was some feet away, not nearby, but recognizable to an extent. Soft, whimsical, and interested but it had lost a lighter, more youthful sound and instead reminded the wolf of something more mature. Was this Shezaam?
Moving forward, Gren forced himself to keep at his goal. And if his senses were not lying to him, his goal was just a few feet away.
"Shezaam?" he spoke out softly, pulling his ears back in his caution. His baritone voice sounded simple, gentle and eager. If this stranger was the she wolf, he wanted to know how she was doing. Were things with the pack growing more successful or were they turning for the worst? What did she look like in her adulthood? He knew she would be beautiful.

The orange female perked her ears, listening to the wolf that was approaching.
It was dark, shadowed, and she was having a hard time actually seeing through it.
But she wagged her tail, walking towards the voice that had called her name.
So he knew her then..Well the voice sounded familiar..Like something from her dreams. The scent, it smelled of her old friend. The blackwolf with the designs that tickled his sides making him look almost odd, but neat.
Gren.
"Gren?"
She called back as she got a little closer.
She did not fear her pack or for this male..Her pack was gentler to strangers, as long as they proved their submission to the Alphas, which..No one was stupid enough not to do.
"Gren is that you?"

The answer came a few seconds later and like a whisper on the wind. A soft grin replaced his previous anxious expression. Swaying forward, his pace quickened before starting into a trot toward the voice, searching for the source with eager eyes. "Yes," he murmured, hoping to hear her voice again so that he could pinpoint her location faster. Upon spotting a form in the near facility, he lowered his head, growing once again cautious before swiftly moving up, recognizing the scent.
"Shezaam," he muttered, giving a few wags of his tail before it fell. "It's been some time...and my you've grown into a fine young lady." He stood tall, finding her height just barely under his own, but her body was still sleek with youth, showing him that she was not much older than a year or so. Words fell short, wanting to hear instead what she had to say as well as observe her reactions and how things were fairing here in Agua Azul.

She instantly wriggled likea puppy, rushing to him,and bounding around him, offering a lick here and there.
"Oh Gren!"
She smiled.
"Its been forever! Ive hoped to would return to see me.. I was growing bored being by myself."
She said with a nod.
Though she had met a good friend named Chocolate, whom somehow pulled at her heartstrings..Yet, this male was an attractive creature, and she saw herself being closewith him as well.
"How have you been, my dear friend?"
She asked, strutting at the fine young lady line.
She loved compliments, they made her feel pretty when she felt like the ugly duckling of the family.

The excitement flowing from the female reverberated off of him and was returned. His grin grew as she pranced around him in greeting, while his tail wagged in thankfulness, glad she was so ecstatic for his visit. His grey eyes smiled. For a second he paused. "I've been my usual self, traveling, keeping myself both bored and busy at the same time," he muttered, "But how have you been? It's been so long, I've been concerned for you and your family."
He noticed her appreciation of the compliment. Gren may not have had much perspective when it came to feminine beauty, but he believed Shezaam to be a very fine young lady in mind and body. Had he known she had met a new friend he would have been proud. The wolf wanted the female to gain as many companions as she could and hoped that through the help of those relationships her life would be made rich. "Has any new events come across lately?" he asked, curious as to what she had been doing of late.

She smiled, sitting down next to him wiht a Plop.
She gave him a once over, and noticed that if anything, he had aged more handsome than he had been previously..
But maybe these were jut the way her adult eyes saw..
"Im so glad to see you again, Gren.."
She said with a sigh and a smile.
Her brother had aged well, becoming a seer, while her other brother had mated to a Whore of a female,and become the Alpha to the Gommorrah pack..
Her sister had been named Beta, and her other brother had been kicked out..
She had lived a hard life these past seasons..She herself, had been forgotten. She had no happy memories from her teendom to her adult hood.
"Its been hard.. Much harder than I could have ever imagined.."
She whispered.
Looking up at him she sighed.
"My family has seperated, all but mymother and father go different directions.."
But determined not to bring sadness to this reunion, she beamed a smile.
"But I have been okay, and Im still alive,and thats all that matters."

He could see the tension in her eyes, as well as the pain during her thoughtfulness. The older wolf could only imagine what had happened, and now cursed himself for having not come to assistance sooner. But what was done was done and the black wolf was here now. Gren's concerned white eyes looked over the female apprehensively.
"I'm thankful you are alright," he commented before continuing on, "But I wish I could have come around before. Hmm...separating is part of growing up, I suppose. However, it sounds like a violent ordeal. Was it for your pack?"
Gren didn't want to impose on Shezaam, the family, or her business, but regardless he was curious as to what had happened in his absence. It was true that he felt anxious when he wasn't able to see the future, and this very situation was bred without him understanding how or having control of what had happened since his leaving. But he couldn't say he was ungrateful. Quite the contrary, he was pleased Shezaam was doing fine, had grown into a lovely she-wolf, and now had the capability of proving herself not only to everyone around her, but to herself as well. He wanted to see what sort of wolf she would turn into.

The small female knew there was nothing that Gren could have done, even if he had noticed something off about the pack.
Her family was just off...That was just the only way to describe it.
Wagging her tail, she shook her head.
"Id rather change these thoughts..I want to be happy with you."
She said.
After all..She had not seen her good friend since she was an adolescent.
She didnt want to remember him in these bad times..She wanted to remember himbecause of something they did together..Something that was good and fun.
"Gren, ya know, Youre one of the few friends I have, that I actually never get tired of."
She said with a smile.
"You and Chocolate are the only two.. Though I see you guys about as much as the other.."
She said with a nod.
"Ive been so lonely here, Im glad you came back."

He could only smile in response and was glad for her enthusiasm to jump into brighter subjects. Shezaam's calm ways and gentle words had a profound expression on the black wolf whom wasn't associated with many wolves of such a stature. She was a fantastic companion. "Oh? I'm glad," he grinned, almost chuckling. He was relieved that their relationship was still intact after all this time.
At the mention of the other wolf he once again smiled. When he wasn't around at least she had someone to accompany her and gave her a friendship she had needed. "I'm glad you've found another wolf. Is he part of the pack or also an outsider?" he asked, assuming that he had no part in the pack considering she had mentioned that there had been a cape since the last time they had seen one another.
Flopping his tail once again, he expressed his gratitude. "I'm also relieved to see you again. It's been too long I think. But I never intended to leave and never come back again, nor do I figure this will be our last meeting."

She gave him a nuzzle, happy to see the smile return to his face.
"Im glad that you missed me."
She said with a grin.
After her last encounter with Chocolate, her heart had been torn into pieces..But Gren was here now,and he could make her forget for the moment.
"Hes an outsider.. Hes very lonely, and Im honestly surprised that he enjoys my company..Sometimes I think he hates that we're friends."
She said with a sigh.
"But you're my friend..Right Gren?"
She asked, looking to himwith her bright eyes.
She hoped he was her friend, because he was so important to the she-wolf..He and Chocolate were the two most important things in her life..And now Chocolate was mad at her..
"Im glad. I dont like final meetings."
She said with a grin.

He listened to her, hearing the distress in her voice as she talked about the other wolf. He wondered what this male was like and if their relationship only consisted of friendship, if even that. Shifting slightly, he made himself comfortable, sitting back expressing he had no intention of leaving anytime soon.
"It sounds as though this person isn't very serious...or perhaps I'm misreading and he's in fact too serious," he commented, giving his only little sentiment. He wasn't good at reading what love was, especially now, but as he thought on it, he realized how blind he had been in the past. A friend was a comrade, someone who was willing to spend their life in order to protect that friend, and if this Chocolate character fit that description than maybe he wasn't such a bad guy.
"Of course," he said, giving a firm nod to the comment about being friends. He had no intention of abandoning the female whom had come to sooth his lonely heart.

Shezaam smiled, giving a soft nod.
"Hes a sweet soul..He'll open up one day, but until then."
She shrugged.
"I wait for him to."
She smiled. SHe was not hte kind to give up on anyone. She was always the one pushing others to continue.
Of course, she had no idea that one day her and Gren would be alone..For real.
She wagged her tail.
"Gren, I adore you."
She said, witha nuzzle of his nose and a lick of his cheek.
She treated him the way she treated her pack, with utmost respect and honor.
"Youre one of my best friends."

He grinned at the nuzzle, glad he was accepted as one of her own. Of course, he was far more reclusive and less initiative into making physical contact, even when it was only a simple nuzzle he wanted to convey. Hesitantly he gave a nuzzle in return before pulling back with a grin. "As you are one of mine," he murmured, thinking on the comment. Perhaps she was the only one he had now while the past crumbled like moist sand as the laps of time splashed against his surface.
"I'm glad you have faith in this friend. If there is ever a problem, you can confide in me," he said suddenly, glad for her optimistic outlook. He, however, was skeptical. It saddened him to know he was once the same as Shezaam, but now was weathered down and weary of unstable relationships. He hoped she was right, and that this male would be able to open up to the sweet Shezaam.
((Perhaps a family member could come in and find them together?))
