Quiet. That's what it was around the area a lone she-wolf had decided to sleep her night away in the hollow of a tree. Remnants of violet fur and jasmine-like musk have stayed throughout the afternoon; the she-wolf had gone.

You can find her washing her paws at a stream - she had just killed a rabbit for a small meal, and oddly, doesn't like to be dirty.

Werewolf
Finally fall was coming in full force, and various sections of the forest were already beginning to shed their green for deep warm colors. Although there was a slight breeze, it was still remarkably warm, and the lovely climate made for good hunting. Even a singular wolf would have had few problems finding a meal in the abundant time of harvest.

Harle ate up days like these. With the wind gently passing, she couldn't help but fall into a quiet lethargy as she lay stretched out upon a small forlorn rock. Her black fur was oddly dark against the orange setting, and for once, her bright red tail managed to be in camouflage with the surroundings.

As she slipped in and out of a haphazard lethargy, a low, inky smell carefully fluttered across her nostrils. With a wayward glance towards the small grotto, she carefully angled her nose in the direction of the pungent odor. It was a fading smell, and it told her in quiet tones that the blooding had already passed. But the smell was curious; she hadn't smelled anyone around previously... With a scoff, she chalked it up to her often misshapen logic.

With a kind smile, the small female rose, her narrow body contorting carefully as she slid down the rock. A sharp pair of gold eyes glinted about in the October light, and with a soft 'wuff', she padded forward towards the direction of the foreign smell.

It lead the She to a spot at a stream, and indeed the blood had passed. But on the other side of the slowly moving waters, she watched as another She, carefully washed her paws. Pleasantly, Harlequin smiled, rather amused at such a behavior. She wasn't critical, and with a slight tilt of her head, she made her presence known (had it not been already), with a gentle 'Hello.' The black wolf's head swayed in an amusing manner, her newly fledging winter coat making her face appear silly and soft.

surreality
She dips her paw into the stream, letting the current soak in waves of cool relief before shaking the bloody substance off. Clouds of red gather around her paw before clearing away � as though the water was never tempered with.

Days like these makes her wish winter wasn�t coming around the corner to cover everything in white and freezing gloom � nothing ever feels alive in those months.

Shrugging back a chill, she takes her paw out of the stream and proceeds to smooth down the front of her neck, cleaning away more remnants of her previous kill away. So into this procedure, she doesn�t even notice the other wolf until she calls out in greeting.

Lifting her gaze, she studies Harlequin with deep seafoam eyes.
Another female, she thinks to herself. She hasn�t run into many of her own gender, just like the last one had told her.
Come to think of it, she hasn�t run into many at all.

Pleased with what seems like could be pleasant company in her very near future, she raises her head and smiles softly. �Allo there. Would you like to join me here?�
That strange bright accent breaking the trickling sound.

Tweek
(( *tosses 'im in!* ))

Autumn was indeed rolling in, and in it's wake came travelers, the last waves of wolves that might hope to make the journey to Shaoilin woods before the heavy snows. One of these wolves was Leigh. He blew in like a storm cloud, indeed that seemed his nature. His brow furrowed like a thunderhead and in the dying light, his mane seemed to spark here and there like tiny bolts of lightning. The male had a deep gray pelt with cloudy silver eyes masked in twin swaths of black that gave his face an oddly sculpted look. His legs, long and strong, were cloaked in black up to his elbows, as though he had waded through some great muck and permanently stained himself, and perhaps, in some ways, he had.

One thing was for sure, Leigh had come to these woods with a purpose. But even stormclouds get blown off course. There were female scents on the air, and though Leigh was not especially a friendly wolf by nature, after a long journey, he craved company. His thick plumed foxtail flipping behind him to the beat of his trot, he altered his course towards the others.

Werewolf
The black female's expression changed, her angular features shifting carefully as she glanced at the pale purple wolf that was now sinking below the water. Harle was pleased with the other She's welcoming. She didn't like dodgy meetings, and others who were open with themselves were generally her preferred company. With a silly swagger and a tail wag, the lean black wolf bobbed across the show, sinking in just the end of one of her red toes into the cool waters.

"Good evening!" She called. Her voice was pleasant sounding enough, with just a faint pull of a strange accent. She grinned, her brightly colored ears shifting in a jovial manner. Inwardly, the quiet gears in her mind carefully turned, as she pondered quietly to herself a bizarre array of things. She was a brilliant multi-tasker, even if it did give her the air of being aloof. With a grin, she stepped fully into the water, letting it sink just to her withers before sitting down. Carefully she snorted, taking one moment to adjust her tangled winter fur. Some small clumps of summer coat were beginning to pull loose, and she hoped she didn't appear to have mange.

With a polite chuckle, Harle swiveled her ears once more to regard the wolf before her. "Roll in something unpleasant?" The female questioned as the icy water bobbed against her narrow frame. She was a bit frank, but her eyes didn't show much harm from her comment. Besides, the blood was almost fully off the purple creature- Harle doubted she'd take offense. Or at least, that was the plan.

Before the other female could finish, the black wolf carefully shook her maw as if to disregard anything she'd said previously. "Sorry love, I'm Harlequin." She added, nodding to emphasize it. She hadn't seen this wolf before, and it was rather nice to see an unfamiliar face once in a while.

As she waited for a response, the end of her red ear twitched slightly, angling towards the back of her skull. Someone else was slipping across the woods, although she could yet hear foot-fall. She cocked the corner of her brow, and carefully rose and strolled from the water. With a shake, she brought the small watery drops to a spray, and sat, cautiously regarding any sounds that echoed in the distance. Perhaps this wolf was not alone. She glanced carefully back at the purple female, to check quietly if she made and cues as to an approaching friend.

'Hrm...' Questioned her mind quietly, already spinning with a thousand different ideas.

Tweek
As the male made his way closer, his steps would likely become more pronounced. Many wolves tread softly, but Leigh was recalcitrant in both character and body language, and the dull thud of heavy paws was just another form of quiet protest he'd acquired in his troubled puphood. With a crackle of a few prematurely stiff leaves under paw, the male emerged on the opposite bank, just behind Harle. His gray eyes settled on the purple female with the feathered mark on her shoulder, and then the darker she-wolf spangled with red and blue. At first he didn't speak for a moment, faltering behind an impassive expression. Clever. He hadn't even considered what he was going to say to them. But then, he didn't think ahead about most things.

"Hello--ladies." There was just the slightest pause between the two words, as if he'd tacked on a chauvinistic afterthought for good measure.

surreality
Seeing Harlequin accept her invitation set Dristi in a world of delight � how she loves company, especially by those who seem to be just as open about friendliness as she herself tends to be. Sometimes, a bit too friendly, as preceeded by normal wolf personalities tend to be.
Such a happy flower.

"I wouldn't call it unpleasant, really--it was quite tastey." She gives a toothy grin, taking in the small joke without any harms way. "I'm going to miss eating rabbit -- but that's about it. Cleaning it off tends to be a different matter..the smell tends to get rather stale after a while. Sticky. Most--unpleasant. Flicking an ear forward, she files the name in safe sorage -- she won't be forgetting this one.

"I am..." But before she could finish her introduction, she catches the scent just when Harle did. Not a second later she sees him - big, brown..somewhat awkward, as though he rushed into something hopeful and suddenly put himself in a situation he didn't really know how to handle. She raises a brow at his greeting. "Well, hello...sir." She playfully smirks at him - he didn't seem very threatening at all.


Werewolf
"It appears so." Harle spoke slowly, her eyes fixed upon the opening gap of trees. It seemed like the other female did not in fact know this stranger to the woods. She had wished that she could have caught the female's name however, but the brief lapse in introductions had been caught short by a rather noisy arrival.

Harle flinched, hearing the leaves crackle from underneath the approaching wolf's feet. It sounded more like a bear; but even a bear had more tact to watch how it stepped. It told Harle quickly that the creature approaching had no fear of them, and in the wolf world, that translated to a very dominant wolf. Being a pack wolf by birth, she felt rather atone to the particulars of wolven social courtesy, and this definitely flanked up a warning flag. It made her twitch, and she had to suppress the urge to flank her tail upward and flash the end of it's red tail- but she with-held, because all things considering, Harlequin was not a threatening wolf.

And then the wolf, now judged to be a male, came into view. He stopped, as if he was surprised to see them, and suddenly kept himself quiet for a few brief moments before greeting them in a careful manner. Harlequin's ears twitched slightly, but it was all but that which let on that she was deftly thinking on the situation. She caught the mildly chauvinistic remark- but with only a smile on her face it was questionable whether she had caught it at all. Not missing a cue, Harle stood, angled her body to the side to get a better view at the male, and added her own greeting; "Hello there." Her voice spoke, a bit more sly then she had greeted the other female.

Despite her slight edge on the situation, she found herself distracted by the almost sparkling coat. It wasn't actually sparkling- but it appeared to be so in the orange light. Inwardly she couldn't help but banter a remark to herself- it didn't seem fair if men got to be more attractive then women sometimes! But her smile didn't drop, and gently, she bobbed the end of her tail in friendly manner. Her suspicious mode presently forgotten, she continued-

"You're a strange sort." She spoke, keeping with her typical manner of a quick tongue. "I'm Harlequin; And this is my friend-" Damn. She'd forgotten that she didn't know her name! "This is my friend." She grinned, as if that had been all she'd meant to say. Best to look together, then apart.

Tweek
Leigh focused on the purple female with the flirtatious nature. Perfect. This was the kind of interaction he'd missed on his travels. "Have a little too much fun playing with your food?" Black lips curled in a dry smile, as he commented on the shreds of conversation that had floated to his ears when approaching.

His black tipped ears twitched forward towards Harle, noting her fur was damp as well. "And what's your excuse?" He mumbled almost inaudibly as she regaled him, His ears tilting forward as his brow raised in a seethrough 'pleasant' expression that ended up looking a little more like leer. He pretended he didn't hear the 'strange sort' comment, but quietly noted that Harle might be a little harder to crack.

"Pleasure to meet you Harlequin." He said through his teeth, an insipid smile on his maw. His eyes turned back to Dristi, looking her up and down impolitely. "And company." His voice was rusty, and a little harsh on the ears, but every now and then it was clear for a moment. A little taste of it's true quality.

surreality
"How can you have too much fun with food? Unless...you do more than what is required. At which point, I won't dare say or agree to it." She gives a rather tut-tut click with her tongue, suddenly getting up from the water and giving a bold look at the male - how rash of him to even imply foul-play on her part.
But it's amusing, non-the-less.

She walks nearer to Harle, to provide more of a togetherness against the powers of cocky male gender. Catching him giving her the up-down, she flicks her ears back and raises her head a little more - she isn't going to become someone's one second pin-up. "Dristi, if you please. I prefer Dristi."
A little more tart than intended, she sits down next to her Harle - ever so pleased to be called a friend. However, she keeps her posture held upright.

Werewolf
'Hrm...' Harle thought, continuing to carefully twist about in her own thoughts. This would take some deciphering. But she loved these sorts of puzzles. She hoped this wolf knew he was playing with an expert-!

"My excuse?" She swayed, standing up and lightly jostling the end of her tail. It made a couple of droplets of water sprinkle downward, making the tiny sand beach darker. "Oh, I have a lot of excuses." She spoke, her ears pivoting upwards. She noticed the male's eyes regarding the purple female in a rather indecent manner. She didn't like the leer. But she did not see any wrong intentions- at the moment.

She decided not to fill the pale wolf in with what exactly her excuse was, it wasn't in her nature to facilitate information which she didn't believe he really needed, or cared, to know. The she wolf named Dritsi pulled up beside her, and she was pleased to see the female had caught her drift. She'd like this wolf yet! As long as there was tact between the both of them, she doubted they'd have much problems with this newcomer.

She shifted, leaning forward in an angled 'c' shape. She kept her gold eyes focused on the male and on the forest surroundings, still keeping touch with the vague sounds of other animals going about their daily lives. "And you?" She spoke with a smile, her head tilting to the side. She wondered if he'd proffer a name. It'd be good to identify him in her mind with a label. She liked to keep track of faces.

Harle noticed his voice was a tad rough, although it didn't phase her much. Kirra had a horrible voice, and she'd spent a lot of her younger years bickering with the older wolf. She didn't even need a phony smile to cover up any disdain for it- it simply didn't fit into her equation of thought. "I'm afraid I've never seen you around these parts before."

Tweek
Females. You had to love them. They never ceased to amuse. Leigh had been lucky to run into two particularly fiery spirits. He was surprised, and his features couldn't completely hide it. They had seemed quite docile at first, talking gently to eachother, but my, they riled up nicely.

Leigh showed his teeth in a grin at the gypsy-female's comment on food, with a soft bark of amusement, a quick 'heh' sound. "Dristi, then. Charmed, madam." He said after she introduced herself properly. He let his gaze linger a moment longer, then flicked his eyes to Harle, who had tilted her body forward in a stance that meant business.

"Me?" He echoed her challenging tone, and suddenly his visage lost it's stilted merriment, blowing over with darker shadows. It was disconcerting, the sudden change, and it appeared even more so when it quickly morphed back to it's previous state. "Oh, I'm looking for a friend. You could say I have a score to settle, but I wouldn't want to trouble you girls with the details." The fox colored male's white tipped tail arched slightly in a bend.

Werewolf
(( Okies :3~ >3 Tweek and I shall behave. ))

Peculiar, perhaps this explained the male's unusual behavior. A man with a score to settle was to be taken cautiously. Not because he posed any danger to themselves, but generally they were rather desperate, and occasionally rather compulsive. She kept an eye on his movements, seating herself down with a careful thump and quiet angle of her head. "I see then." She spoke, her eyes glinting. She couldn't help but want to know what this 'score' was. She was a meticulous secret keeper, but she never liked to be at loss for current knowledge. She attempted to compile of mental list of wolves she knew that had come from elsewhere- but she found herself overwhelmed by how many there were. Wasn't anyone born in the woods nowadays?

"Well a score is certainly something that begs to be settled." The Harlequin added, her faintly sly tone dropped momentarily just to see what effect it had. She smiled, and rather genuinely for she was ultimately an optimist, she added; "But I'm afraid you've entered a rather large portion of woods. You'll probably have quite a way to go to find your...friend." She spoke, careful to regard her own knowledge of the Telkian forest. She had itchy feet, and it was good that her constant traveling made her somewhat coherent in the ways of travel. In at least this, she was sympathetic. It could get lonely moving alone. And she wasn't even a lone wolf.

She took another careful look at him, deciding that she would not avoid her glance- he *had* just given Dritsi the look over. She felt she was entitled to it as well, all things considered. He was rather big to just be a lone. Too good looking too. Or maybe he was just very well adjusted. Her ears flicked. 'No.' She thought, going with her original idea. 'This wolf has some pack in him. Too well spoken.' It was possible that she was wrong, and as she considered it, she hardly set her ideas down in stone. But she was quickly gathering small snips of information, and compiling up on this wolf- whom still had not revealed his name. Interesting indeed.

After dropping her slight hitch in her voice, she stretched, and settled herself in a more of a leisurely sit, her ears bobbing as if she hadn't a thought in her head.

surreality
[ We should definitely continue this in..guild? I have no idea how that works. X3; *such a newb* Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and post my reply here...]

"I'm sure you are, sir. And I hope I’m not too bold to ask, what is your name?" Odd. She hasn’t ever felt the need to become sly-spoken until this very moment – usually, she’s fine just being calm, albeit a bit airy when it came to all around chatter. Something about the way he looked at her might have triggered it; nobody’s ever given her the rundown gaze, not even in all her travels.

She sits stiffly, confidently, not daring to move her position. She will not show weakness to one being so daring to strangers, even if it meant possible danger.

But then, for a flicker, he changed. This sudden expression, this sudden darkness overwhelmed Dristi inside like crashing thunder. How can anyone hold such bitterness? A deep sorrow and pity seem to boil and reach towards him, a one searching for means of revenge.

And here she was, searching all her might for a possible comfort and inner peace to settle down and drink from.

Her brows knit together as her thoughts swirl around in the back of her mind. What score would make someone reek of negativity?

She relaxes with Harle, grateful for her company and positive vibrancy.

Tweek
"Leigh." He said simply, in response to the purple wolf's inquiry. His tone was curt, but underlined with a hint of a playful nature. "The name's Leigh. I'm from the west lands. I doubt you've been. I would have noticed a wolf of your... stature" He trailed off with a smirk.

At the black female's first comment, Leigh gave her a sidelong glance, letting his eyes linger. And then--there it was. That knavish onceover, a visible sizing up process. His silver gaze wandered from the tips of Harle's colorful toes to her bright ears, and everything in between. Nice. Not bad. Not bad at all.

The male shifted his weight, focusing on her next rebuttal. "Perhaps so. All I have is a name. I haven't an inkling where this dear friend of mine might be. That's why I'm here. I was told these lands are free. I'm looking for... leads..." The way the male let his ending hang it almost changed the meaning of the word.

Not missing a beat, Harlequin did nothing to adjust her position or otherwise look embarrassed as she caught the wolf Leigh looking her over. She did however take one sidelong glance to Dritsi, to see how the other female was holding up. She seemed to not be too aghast at the male's behavior, which was good, for it allowed Harle to focus on other matters.

Diligently flicking the end of her brightly colored tail, she curved her head to the side in feign surprise at the male's peculiar predicament. "Heavy thing to settle, if you only know your 'friend's' name." She chidingly replied. With another tilt of her head, this time the opposite angle, she continued; "These are free lands, but you'll find them very vast. Quite a few pack lands in these woods, and tribal confronts to boot. But if you go too far, you'll find you hit ocean." She rythemed, although there was nothing too bewildering about what she was saying- it was indeed the truth. "You might aim to be more sly, my friend." This time, she corrected her posture, and stood straight, her face for a moment dropping a kind smile. "If you're looking for leads, sometimes it's best not to make it known." Word traveled fast in these woods.

Her smile returned, and she continued to ponder exactly who this wolf might be looking for. She knew Kirra had come from the Western region, but then again, with an ocean to the West who didn't? It was a strange country there; perhaps it excused this Leigh from his likewise peculiar manner. With a careful dock of her features, she looked back to Dritsi, and then back to Leigh. Despite the obnoxious eyeballing and the haphazard manner, she was finding this wolf fairly interesting. What kind of grudge would it take for someone to travel so far, and not know for whom they sought? Or perhaps he was simply single minded. It would not have suprised her.

[Sorry it's taken a while, guys. Mondays and Wednesdays just aren't great days for me and the internet - I have classes from 8 - 4 with hardly any time in between. In those days, I'll try to reply in the morning if I can, but that's the best I can do.
However, on Tuesdays and Thursdays and all the other days, I have good time. smile So here I go. ]

Leigh. Simple enough to remember - like 'harle', she places this important piece of identification deep in the back of her mind. She doesn't like forgetting names, especially of those she finds interesting enough to keep around.
Watching him do that ever-famous rundown gaze towards her companion, almost makes her laugh out loud; he isn't very secretive when it comes to giving those out; So obvious, blunt. So rediculously masculine.

At his comment about the Western territories, she cocks her head to the side and replies, grinning small. "You'd be surprised....I've been traveling for a long time."

And because of this, Dristi catches herself in a situation where she can't really give much help to Leigh, or to anyone, for that matter. As much as she knows about the environment around her, about what kind of trees mark a beginning of a specific territory, or where you can find a a certain breed of pheasant to snack on, she doesn't know a single wolf very well or personally at all.
She hardly remembers her time spent in the North, or of her family when she lived there.
Oh no, don't go there. And with that simple command to herself, she stops thinking about it all together. Like Harle, she's curious about this unknown grudge.
And besides, she isn't about to let foggy memories ruin her first happy meetings that she can remember in a long time.
PostPosted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 11:14 am


(( Eee, sorry I didn't respond sooner, guys. I was at a sleepover and didn't get a chance to type up a post. ^^ ))

Leigh's gave a small, emotionless smile, the corners of his lips lifting, the rest of his face frozen and momentarily thoughtful. He could tell they were curious, but for the time at least, he would keep his secret to himself. He'd let them assume what they would and keep the truth hidden for now.

He lifted his brow at Dristi's reply. "Really, now? And just where do you come from?" He could tell from the accent that she hailed from a place he'd never been. Harle had a light accent too, but it was different, and a little more familiar. Both voices sparked his interest, and he filed them away in his memory for later.

Silver eyes glanced to Harle next. The ocean. Huh, he'd never been, though he'd heard of it. Leigh himself was not a very well-traveled wolf. He'd been born in the west, and might have stayed there his whole life had this.. pressing issue not come up. "You think that's better than throwing around names?" Leigh's tone was now completely different. A serious question. His brow clouded once more, as if trying to determine whether she was serious or not. He was no stranger to tricksters, and from their responses, he couldn't pass of either female naive.

A quirk appeared in Harlequin's factitious smile. A serious remark! So this was what his voice sounded when he was not trying to appear cordial. It interested her, it wasn't such a bad voice. But the serious note in it did contrast somewhat to his first, and it let her regard the original at a different level then this new one.

"Well, of course not." Harlequin continued, not loosing a smile, but this time she didn't need to do much keep it up. She was interested in this method. "But people might be pressed not to speak to you as freely...when they know you are looking for something." She continued. She didn't find her advice all too unreasonable- wolves in these woods were a tight bunch. Even among enemies, there was a lot of mutual connection. If someone didn't know someone, there was still a huge chance that they knew someone who knew the someone.

For a moment the smile dropped and she rose her head, looking to the side in a thoughtful manner. The autumn light was still filtering in through the warm colored trees, and it was casting an orange glow about the area. She longed for a bit of her lax behavior at that moment, or maybe stopping for a while to see what young Nessa was up to today. But with her brief reprieve over, she returned the smile, and went back to regarding Dritsi and Leigh carefully.

How very interesting this day had turned out to be.

"I see..." Leigh scowled at Harle's rationalizing, but he realized it was true. His silver eyes clouded with dark thought. This was going to be even harder than he'd first imagined. He hadn't been planning on taking the sly approach, and this would put a whole new spin on his search. He muttered a soft growl of annoyance, but wasn't about to give up yet.

He flicked a black tipped ear at Dristi's response. The north. That explained why he'd never heard her accent before. In his experience most wolves had either come from the south or the east. He'd figured the lands to the north were more fertile, that was the reason, but now he wondered if that was true. "What brought you here?" He asked, genuinely interested.

Then he swept his gaze over both females once more. Well, maybe he'd give Harle's advice a go right now. "Have you ladies seen many other packs around here?" It occured to him he'd be more comfortable sitting down, but he refused to leave a more dominant stance. Such a male.
PostPosted: Sun Oct 16, 2005 4:55 pm


Harle's grin continued, but now, she felt fulfilled. She saw for a brief moment that he considered her response, and feeling that she currently had the 'up' even though Leigh's dominant position did not change, she decided to drop her clever behavior, and be a bit more of herself. A bit, for she wasn't sure if she wanted to reveal that she was a no one to be taken seriously. A clown might speak the truth, but she very rarely got attention for it.

For a moment, she gave a look to Dristi. "Some of my family came from the Northern region, and I've met many wolves from there. Big wolves, I've noticed. Lots of black with those wild eyes." She smiled kindly, her shifted her ears.

And from there, she turned her own gold back to Leigh, who still refused to take the 'go-easy'. It made her still slightly on the edge, so she decided to bring back a little bit of her quirp- realizing with a soft snort that she had just revealed she did not know Dristi as well as she had first implied. Ah well. Even if he noticed, it didn't matter. "Many wolves here, friend." She said, cocking her head to the side, her bright ears swinging forward as if they implied a sharpening of thought. "At least one-hundred fifty- maybe more. More come every day. Some stay, some go...but most stay." She glanced to the side. "Lots of packs too, a few very large and a few very small. At least..." She squinted, thinking. Her father, being an alpha, had been knowledgeable of such things. "Well; my father is the alpha of one. He'd know better then I-" She continued, deciding to quip in that she was an alpha's progeny. "Maybe as many as nine. Maybe more. A lot of small groups of lones; and your occasional harlequin traveler." She smiled.

"And I don't know where you come from; but 'round here it's pup season. Lots of wolves more touchy then usual. Four packs littered, that I'm sure. And on and on." Harlequin continued, slightly rolling her muzzle as if to retort that there was much to say about Telk, but so very little that could be of much use to her.

"Natives too; I suppose I should say. I've never heard of any of them taking a liking to wolf kills...but my mother; She always says not to trust anyone." Her ears quivered. "And that is Telk. Welcome to it."

Leigh noted the slight change in Harle's voice, one ear swiveling ever so slightly toward the side in consideration. He pursed his lips slightly as her golden eyes found him again, and then, after a somewhat haughty look down his nose at the dark female for good measure, he moved a bit more inland and sat down stiffly, his tail flicking slightly behind him like a cat's. The motion could hardly be described as polite, but at least Leigh was responding to the relaxing mood by letting down a little of his guard.

He watched quietly as Harle responded to Dristi, a little surprised. He'd assumed they had already met before. He glanced at Harle with momentary disdain, a faint snort emitting from his form, but he made no comment, and seemed to pay attention to what she said next--and he was momentarily floored.

A hundred and fifty wolves? It took him a moment to realize she was actually serious. And she was right about those other things, too. Until breeding season was over, not only would it be difficult to ask for help but dangerous. So what was he supposed to do in the meantime? He scowled again at the information he'd recieved. He wasn't angry at Harle, though he showed no sign, he appreciated her sharing the knowledge, but his expression darkened for a moment and he looked down at his paws, like an angry child. He really hadn't thought this through, had he?

He raised his silver eyes to Harle once more. An Alpha's daughter, hmm. Maybe that explained her personality. Leigh huffed a breath of air, and spoke after a moment, his voice returning to a more carefree tone.

"Well... I guess I'll have to hang around a while then before I can go looking for--them." He readjusted his blue-gray body, darkened paws moving slightly forward on the moist ground. The thought wasn't too terrible, these lands seemed pleasant, and if he had more run-ins like this one he wouldn't ever be bored. He was simply impatient. He wasn't beyodn tagging on another masculine comment, though: "Maybe you girls could... show me around sometime." He flipped the two a light smirk.

His gaze happened to have drifted to Dristi in time to catch a passing look of mild surprise in Dristi's bluish eyes. He wondered momentarily what that was all about, twitching his bushy tail slightly in thought, but quickly dismissed it from his mind at her next comment. He could tell she too was being careful about revealing her past just yet. He smiled wryly to himself, ever so slightly. He was no stranger to that game. "Another leader, hmn." He mused lightly and shrugged. "I don't exactly get along with leaders, anyway..." He crinkled a lip lightly, though it was clear the motion was not aimed at either of the females, but at some fleeting memory.

(( Sorry about the wait, I had to write this message twice. >< And after loosing the first one I had to spite gaia for a couple of hours.XD ))

Harlequin watched silently as the male fidgeted, shooting her a glance and finally sitting down at an angle from her. Almost tauntingly, she smiled in a factitious manner, and shifted her hips to face his new position. She could tell he wasn't pleased about sitting down. Or rather, he wasn't pleased because he was sitting down, but because he needed to sit down. Was he that afraid of his dominance being intruded upon? That'd go for careful consideration. She couldn't imagine that was the reason, but then again, men had funny ways about them.

She watched as he considered the information she'd relayed with the same careful smile. Ah, good. Then he believed her, which was very good for his own good. There was a large amount of wolves here, and she certainly wouldn't have forgiven herself if she hadn't warned him beforehand. She might have been playing a game, but all Harlequin really was, was a clown. She definitely didn't want any harm coming needlessly, even if she knew nothing of Leigh or his intentions.

"Lots of places to hang." She smiled, her head nodding. "A good plus to living in a big part of the country." Her ears pivoted for a second before blurting her next comment out. She caught the slight sliding nature of Leigh's comment about 'showing them around', but she wasn't sure how Dristi would respond. She saw that he seemed to eye her the most, and not wanting her to feel singled out for that, she haphazardly added that being a traveler she could easily show him around if necessary.

"You're a lone then?" Harle asked, genuinely a bit surprised. He'd first struck her as a deserter more then a lone...But she wasn't always right either. "I'm afraid my opinion on leaders is a little bias." She laughed genuinely. "I know mine certainly is hard on me! I'm sure they're not too pleased about my itchy feet. But, ah, I've always been the middle child."

Like Harle, Dristi watches as the most honorable male drops to his rear in a most reluctant manner - well, that's nice. He's either had a case of stiff legs or he's finally beginning to trust them, in just the tiniest bit. She smiles a little, glad for this sort of closure, and most important, glad that she wasn't questioned any further for her past.
It showed that they understood - and that brought her to trust them all the more for it.

Adjusting herself so she can easily view both her companions, she listens to their conversation and puts her past in the back where it should be. Over 150 wolves? Although a bit delayed in the fact, it still strikes her as something massive. 150 wolves around this spand of land - and she's only met five. Maybe six.
Odd how secretive these wolves are; and with that thought, she makes a rather puzzling expression of disbelief, brow raised delicately and a single ear flipped sideways.

But before she could ask anything, a suggestion is made in a somewhat lewd matter: such strange wolves indeed!

Hardly masking her amusement, she grins at Harle, fighting back a fit of laughter just waiting to let through. "Well, I'm not busy. Besides, I still haven't explored all the territories - and I'm sure it won't be too terrible with company." She glances over at Leigh. "It'd be a nice..distraction, so to speak. Keep our minds clear with a miniature adventure."
Sounds fascinating.

Leigh's white tipped tail curled slightly as both females responded that they'd more or less be willing to show him around a bit. He was vaguely surprised. He'd meant the comment as another shallow way of hitting on the two, but he was pleased with the response. He was unused to friendly wolves, and wondered momentarily that they didn't question his intent more openly. The fact that they were willing to travel a bit with an unknown male raised his respect for them slightly.

"Well then, if you don't mind, perhaps I'll stick with you two for a while." He said, his tone still drawling in masculine tones, but a little less demeaning. "I don't exactly know where to start, anyway." He added, trying to drop his chauvenistic syntax a touch. Now that these two were potential companions rather than easy encounters, he'd have to play his cards a little more carefully, and he supposed he should try to act a bit more civil. He allowed a small smile at Dristi's comment. A little adventure. It sounded like just the idea to take his mind off things.

His black tipped ears pricked at Harle's question, and his brow lowered slighty, casting a light shadow across his eyes. At first his mind, still lazily lingering on packlife, offered up a reflexive 'no,' but he pushed that down.

"Yes." He said after a moment. It wasn't exactly a lie. He was on his own, but he had been in a pack a few days before... the bloodshed that he wasn't sure if he wanted to remember. After he'd doused himself in a muddy river running through the westlands, cleaning himself of the sanguinary evidence, much as Dristi had been doing when he'd happened upon the two, he'd set out as a lone-wolf. True, his body had yet to take on that aquired leanness of a loner, but he supposed it would eventually. "You could say I'm a loner."

His eyes wandered from Harle to Dristi, and back to Harle again, lingering as the female spoke once more. "Yes, you could say I'm biased too." He said, in a tone a little darker than he'd intended.

The Harlequin wavered for a moment, catching the slight surprise on both of the other wolves' parts brought on by her statement pertaining to the forest's size. Hadn't they known this before they'd traveled into Telk? She dared not say anything else to overwhelm them, but she personally believed that the total wolves were more like two-hundred. It'd been her own belief that outsiders must have surely had some idea as to their numbers...but apparently she was mistaken. She supposed briefly, too, that she shouldn't proclaim "their" as if all the packs were a whole. She knew for certain there were quite a few packs who'd not even associate with one another. Her own pack seemed to have a bit of a spat with Haku's; although she hadn't heard of the old alpha in months. Come to think of it, she hadn't heard much from her father either.

Stick with 'us two?' Harle thought for a moment. She was a little surprised he had taken up the offer, she had thought he was just hitting on them. Her ears pivoted for a moment, and decided there was no reason she should decline. She rather liked the little group, and although she was still very suspicious of this Leigh's intentions- he wasn't too hard on the eyes either. And Dristi was certainly a wolf she'd like to get to know better. No, there wouldn't be a problem with some light traveling. It didn't seem like either of them were from around here, and she did (if she did say so herself) know the woods very well.

"I don't mind, I'd rather enjoy the company." She smiled towards both of them with a nod. "I know these woods fairly well, and I'd have no problem given you a show 'round. Although it's getting a bit into fall now, we might get a little bit of a downpour now and then." Her head glanced upwards to the perpetual cloudy grey sky. It wasn't going to rain, not yet, but it certainly was planning on it within the next eight hours. The clouds, although grey, seemed to glow a bit orange in lieu of the sun.

"I'm surprised; You must be a good hunter." Harle remarked. She didn't see much of the haunting lone look in him. His following tone seemed a bit darker, and she carefully added it to the back of her mind. So, he might have a problem with packs. That'd probably be a slight problem in a highly packed woods like these, but ah, there wouldn't be much of that for a while. She supposed anyways.

"But ah, a merry band." Her tail flicked. "What is the country like where you come from? We can get pretty cold here in autumn." She chattered to both, although she had caught they both were not particularly interested in speaking about their prior home.

Rain? Tilting her head upwards and raising her eyes has Dristi catching glimpses of those progressing burning clouds, thick and heavy with moisture. Taking a deep breath, she closes her eyes and savors the scent - yes, rain should be coming fairly soon.
And she'll welcome it with open.....ah, paws.

"Mmm...rain. It didn't rain so much...too cold for that, at least around this time of the year. You'd mostly find rain in the summering seasons," She answers Harle, fluttering her eyelids open and dropping her chin level with the others. "I remember, I loved it when it rained...." She smiles inwardly, an old memory creeping up of running out of the cave and dancing with water pouring down at her.

A cold shiver runs up her spine and she shakes it off, the memory gone with the chill. Focusing her attention back to her companions, she lifts herself from her sitting position and stretches in a cat-like grace. She'd lost track of time when she first met with Harle, and now her stomach is telling her that it has been quite a while. "Mmm..have any of you eaten recently? Maybe we can give a hunting group a try - it'd be a new experience for me, anyway." Twitching her tail tip, she flicks an ear back and waits for a response. She wasn't really that hungry, but she figured the idea wasn't bad to start off from.
