Welcome to Gaia! ::

{This is an ORP for any members of the Mitima'Tangatanga pack, as Bini is trying to find her way back to them :3 I'm RPing Zuri and Leth is RPing Bini xDD;;}

Bini's rest had been short but filling, she felt a lot better since she'd gotten the food, water and energy back into her. She was even thrilled she had company for a while, the journey would hopefully run a lot more smoothly from here. Her eyes slowly cracked open and she let out a slow yawn, paws stretching out.

She looked around after a moment, trying to spot her companion.

Zuri sat a few feet off, gazing into the water as if in a trance. Spotting movement out of the corner of his eye, he shook his head, snapping out of his daze and glancing over at Bini. A smile spread across his face.

"Hey there. Did you get enough rest?" He inquired, standing and stretching his own legs.

She grinned back at him, tail wagging. "Yes I did, thank you for letting me take the time." Oh and now they could start their trek back to her home!

"Not a problem." He replied with a smile, sniffing the air and glancing around for a moment before shaking his fur off and pointing his muzzle to the left. "Right, the southlands are this way, if that's where we're headed," he said, making sure Bini was alright to walk.

"Yep, that's where we're going." She hoped so anyways, she was 99% sure of it. She began to walk with him, ears perk and body alert for the things around them. She tried to think of something to speak about. "You've really never lived in a pack?" Well she hadn't either, to be honest.

"Excellent. I doubt it's too far, and nightfall is soon, so we won't have to travel too long in the sun." Zuri supplied with a smile, glancing up at the rays of pink slowly moving across the horizon.

He looked over at his companion and shook his head. "No, I haven't. Wandered too much to ever see one, I suppose. Why do you ask?"

Bini nodded. "I like traveling when the clouds aren't out at night, because then the view of the sky is grand."

She hesitated to think of an answer. "Well... because most dogs I meet have been one, or are in one." She shrugged lightly. "Before I decided to join it had always been my mother and i and thats it."

"It is," Zuri agreed with a smile, tilting his head back to see if he could spot any early stars.

"Really? I've met a few who haven't, who've been wanderers like me." He paused and glanced at Bini. "Was it lonely for you, to not be in one?"

Bini shrugged slightly. "I was never lonely when I was by my mother's side." she smiled softly. "A while after... she was gone though.. and that was pretty lonely. But it was fun to meet new wild dogs all of the time."

Ahh, so that was it. Zuri lowered his head and nodded. "I'm sorry to hear about your mother. It's good that you had company after that, though." He wondered vaguely about his own mother, and the rest of his family, for that matter... he hadn't seen any of them since he'd left when he was a juvenile. "So, you have friends in this pack, then?" He asked after a while.

She nodded a little. "A few of them. They're all really nice, it's good to be around such good dogs, you know?" Well maybe he didnt. But it was hell when she had been around bad dogs, so she appreciated her pack all the more.

"That's good." He smiled and laughed a little bit at the phrase "good dogs", which for some reason seemed.. amusing to him. He wasn't sure why. "I'm not sure," he admitted. "But I imagine being around good dogs would be preferable to being around bad dogs." He lifted his muzzle and gazed across the horizon, pausing to nudge Bini, and pointed up at the first star out.

Bini waited to reply, first she looked up to where he indicated. She grinned and laughed a little. "The first night star!" Even though it was still a little bright out. It was a really nice thing to spot. "You're very good at spotting things, you know."

"Hmm?" Zuri responded distractedly, glancing from the star to Bini. "Spotting things? What do you mean?" Spotting stars wasn;t that hard. Could she mean spotting her, when she was almost passing out? But that hadn't been difficult either, he'd only been in the right place at the right time..

"Well maybe not spotting things, but finding things." She grinned and shrugged. "Like the watering hole.. and the first star.. stuff like that." Because already more stars were beginning to show on the horizon.

"Ah! I see. I suppose you're right." He grinned and wagged his tail, almost tripping on a rock since his gaze was still on the sky.

"Agh!" righting himself, he gave Bini a sideways sort of look. "You never saw that." Cough. To distract her from his bout of clumsiness, he pointed a paw. "See that tree up there? I'm pretty sure that means we're on the right track!"

Bini giggled despite herself and then shrugged lightly. "If you want it kept secret than fine." She smirked lightly. She looked over to the tree and her tail wagged a little. "Oh thats very good, then!" She wondered how he could distinguish one tree from another, but didn't question it.

"There's a lot of those sorts of trees in the southlands," Zuri explained a bit sheepishly. "The sort of.. gnarled ones." the purple dog added. He looked back at Bini to make sure she was alright. "If you need a break, just say. We're going at your pace, alright?"

She nodded. "Oh, I guess I never noticed them before." She grinned. Wow, she wished she was worldly with her knowledge. "My pace, right." She chukled. "Well right now I'm fine." He was very considerate.

"Good!" He said cheerfully, wagging his tail. "It's really not far. Though I have no idea where your pack might be in realation to the southlands.." He added, frowning a bit. It couldn't be THAT hard to find a pack of wild dogs, could it?

Bini looked a little worried at this. "Well my leader said the lands were very far south, if that helps any." She was slowing down a little, but more because she was distracted by all of the stars

"Hmm." Zuri murmured, glancing back to see what was slowing her down. Ahh. He tilted his head up and grinned at the emerging sliver of a moon. "You pack, do they sleep at night, or during the day?" He inquired.

Bini blinked and shrugged lightly. "I'm not really sure. It varies really, we've been sleeping odd hours to travel as much as we can." Well, they should still be traveling. Or at their destination.

Hmm. Zuri frowned. It might be harder to find these dogs than he's suspected. Though he supposed if they saw them, Bini would recognize them... or the other way around. "Alright," He said finally. "Shall we just keep going until we meet up with one of them?" he asked, not at all sure about how this would work.

Bini nodded slowly, looking sheepish. "Yeah. They've got to be around, some where." She murmered slowly.

"Somewhere," Zuri agreed with a nod of his head. He paused to scratch at an ear. "How many members do you have in your pack, then?"

Bini thought a little. There was Ouro and Miremba... Jeuri.. a few others. Oh no! What if Miremba had given birth already? Worry flickered across her features. "About five or six memebers." She said slowly. "Maybe with a lot of pups.. my leader is pregnant."

Bini, though a little tired and still a little out of it, perked right up when she heard a famaliar voice. "Ouro!" She yipped out, with out hesitation she rushed forward to great him, which was probably a bad idea. If he tackled her they'd end up rolling down theh ill. Tackling was her favorite way of greeting, anyhow.

"Ouro, Ouro! We found you guys!" Well he'd found them, but at least the pack would be there!

The goledn male's tail refused to stod wagging, even when he and his friend had crashed into quite a mess, Ouro not having quite thought about stopping. They rolled a bit downhill, and he landed with an uncomftarble thump a few inches away from his friend, but leaped up to his paws, tail still waving side to side in rapid speed as he looked down on Bini.

"Where you been?! " He yipped out loud, an ear twiching in acknowledgement towards the purple male. He tried to sound scornfull, but really sounded like an exited puppy on its first hunt.

Zuri, who had wandered after Bini and her friend as they tumbled down the hill, grinned and wagged his tail as Bini introduced him. "Er.. hello," he said, nodding to Ouro. She'd already said his name, so there wasn't much introducing left to do. He simply gave a sheepish little smile. "I take it we found what you were looking for, then, Bini?"

Bini grinned at Ouro's words and gave him a friendly n**. "Oh, so sometimes bad things happen for good reasons!" She wasn't being sarcastic, she thought Ouro was very smart to figure that out.

Bini beamed at Zuri, nodding her head. She'd done a total one eighty from when he'd found her, happy as ever. She couldn't help being happy around her friends, could she? "Yes I have!" She breathed. "Ouro is this where the pack is supposed to be?" She looked around slowly.
