 "Spring." The word was a sigh on her lips. She raised her muzzle to the sky and breathed in deep. "Spring" The grass-sweet air filled her nose and lungs. It was life; fresh, renewed, awakened from deep slumber. The songbirds clirped in chorus or a single song called to a lover. Shappa paced on. The rough pads of her feet made no sound as she moved through the forest.
Shappa was a dominant female. She left her birth pack to find a new one or make her own. She wasn't cut out as a loner. No, she longed to be with her own kind again. But so far...she had found none to join. Suddenly she caught a scent. Another wolf was nearby. Shappa lowered her nose and took in the scent. Female. Shappa's ears flicked forward and then made a pivot as she listened.

 Brielle was happy, as she usually was when she was splashing or wading in a pool of water. At the moment the blue wolf was walking back and forth in a pond that had swelled from the spring rain. She felt more at home near water and since she had decided to trek in land she had found herself sorely missing it. There was something about the way the ripples moved that almost enchanted her.
However that did not mean that she was completely out of focus with the world. Part of her mind was always at attention.
While watching her reflection ripple in the water a light prickle traveled down her back. An instinct that told her she was not alone and should be on her guard. Brielle swayed her head surveying her surroundings. However she neither saw nor heard anything. With some caution in mind Brielle sat at the edge of the pool ready to make a dash for it should the need arise.

Sounds of something moving in water caused Shappa to snap her head to the left. Her ears leaned as far forward as possible. With caution she padded in the direction of the sound. As she crested a slight incline, she paused between two trees and looked over the pond. The fur along her back stood up and her tail raised slightly before stilling. Her eyes found the other she-wolf sitting next to the pond and her posture said that she was just as much aware of Shappa as Shappa was of her.
The female didn't smell of a thread so Shappa lowered her guard a bit and causually padded foward. She approached the pond and with an eye on Brielle, lowered her muzzle to take a drink. Fininshed, Shappa rose her head and looked directly at Brielle.
"Hello."

Brielle's head swung more than snapped in the direction of the steps, swaying side to side a little before resting still. Another female wolf appeared from the brush on a slight hill. She was larger than Brielle, visibly more muscled and stronger. A slight jolt ran from the tip of Brielle’s nose along her spine and down to her tail. Her fur stood on end a little as the spark ran through her. Brielle's instincts told her to be more wary and for a moment she felt her body unconsciously tense a little.
However as soon as the new female passed Brielle to drink from the little pool all misgivings melted from Brielle. “Hi!” she responded brightly back to the female. Her face slid into an easy smile that may have made her a look a little dopey. She wasn’t unintelligent she was just generally a happy wolf. “I’m not trespassing on your lands am I?” She asked with a trace of worry in her voice. Brielle didn’t much feel like fighting another wolf. It wasn’t her thing. Also, she noted with a quick glance over the red female, I’m sure she would tear me a new one. Being wounded generally put a damper on the day.
