Welcome to Gaia! ::

The small hare was dropped at the white she-wolf's feet, as the dark male took a step back. The scarred male eyed the kill before glancing towards the wolf as she smirked, rising to her feet to inspect her new meal.

"What have you brought me this time, my little Stray?" The words whispered silkily from her maw. The name she had given the dark wolf many moons ago, when she had found him injured in the forest. He spoke little then too, so it was only best that Reach would name her new 'friend'. Luckily, or perhaps unlucky for Stray, the name had stuck, and when he found himself talking he would utilize the name for others.

"A meal." Simple, sweet, to the point. "Your pup is not here?" Stray knew the relationship between the stolen Badger and Reach, but he wouldn't speak of it to the male. That was the she-wolf's responsibility, not his. He didn't see her doing that any time soon. The male had grown, and already become a nice little healer for Reach to cultivate.

"He is off. He will be back." The white wolf said with a smirk. "He will always come back. Just like my little Stray does." Reach's smirk widened, stepping towards the darker wolf.

He was silent as the female neared, but Stray stood still. Finally, he spoke, his mismatched eyes gazing at her.

"There's another hiding nearby. Should I take care of him?"

Feigning a small shocked face, Reach whipped her tail round, bopping the scarred male, before chuckling. "No, I think we should go introduce ourselves to him... Don't you? Lead the way."

The rustling caused Stray to narrow his eyes. His head whipped around, his one seeing eye shifting in his skull. He was quick to pivot on his paws, leaving the white wolf to herself as he tracked after the brown male.

"Be nice, Stray~" Reach grinned as she trotted after the male, her eyes scanning for the stranger nearby.

It didn't take long for her to see her dark 'friend' circle around the newcomer, standing before him with a small sneer on his features. One trait Reach liked about Stray was that he was a brute. What he lacked in smarts he made up in strength. And while muscle was not her forte, she wouldn't mind any little bit that was offered.

"Ah, now now." Reach said quietly as she approached Stray and Burst Hare. "We don't need to intimidate our new friend, now...do we?" The white wolf neared the other. Stray remained silent as his good eye focused on the other.

"What do we want of you? Oh dear boy," Reach found herself tsking, closing the gap between herself and the new wolf. "Why do you think we would want something from you?"

Stray grunted in reply, his claws digging into the dirt, watching Burst's body language. What kind of games were going through Reach's mind, he always wondered.

"I mean, you are alone out here it seems," she glanced over towards Stray, who gave an affirmative nod. Ah, what a good boy. "And a lone wolf can be a dead wolf if fallen on the wrong company." There was a little giggle that left her maw, slightly manic in tone. "But...since you asked..." Her eyes flashed towards the stranger. "You seem to blend well with the foliage and well, I've been looking for this particular plant deep within the woods. It's good for relaxing, and normally I would go get it, but," another chuckle, "you see, it is...rather protected, and I would just stick out like a sore paw."

"Do you think you could do that for me dear boy? I mean, you would have of course have Stray to accompany you, so you wouldn't be quite a lone wolf anymore."

Stray's eyes narrowed, flicking back towards Reach for just a moment.

Hare didn't quite understand the way Reach spoke sometimes. Perhaps because he was used to how blunt Snow put things, or how fast he thought. But he clued in that his flight instinct had been soaring quite high. His hackles on the back of his neck threatened to lift as Reach insisted why they wanted something from him. "I tend to stick to my instincts.." He said mostly gently and in a hushed tone.

As his instincts seemed to not let him down he steadied on his paws lightly. He almost gave them a cheeky look that insisted he was right in that they needed his help in something. His eyes moved towards Stray and flickered his ears down against the nape of his neck. "I can do that for you, however, I would like to be able to go back home after I do." His words tried to steady but Hare was so soft spoken when he spoke slow enough for another to understand.

He looked at his dark dye that laid on his pelt to signify his birth pack. A soft sigh passing his maw, he was trying his hardest not to judge these two wolves by their actions but they really knew how to intimidate a young male. If only Rabbit Bane had been there, or Snow. Nonetheless he hadn't been threatened yet. Just been given odd and intimidating facial expressions. "Would you show me to the areaanddetailwhat I must do.. to get out safe with the herb you require?" His merging words showed after a moment and he flexed his ear nervously.
