The day was warm. The long grasses that Baka called home-were green and lush. Today... the sun shown high above her head and it pleased Baka enough to the point she barked and yipped up at the yellow orb. She jumped above the grass and rolled in it... happy for the warmth the sun brought.
Baka was exceptionally happy today... she had found a new family to live with. An older male maned wolf named Mzaa. She saw him as a father now-and was so happy to not be alone anymore. She was tired of being alone... it was just here and her white feather for the longest time. In fact, she was so happy and comforable around Mzaa that she left her white feather back at the cave... for Mzaa to keep an eye on. If Baka lost it... she'd lose her happiness-no doubt.
So now, she frolicked and pranced, her black pelt shining in the sun. She was young and agile... but still a pup at heart... and these foolish little yips and leaps she did-made her all the more happy.

A lovely day it might be indeed, but Daeva was not feeling as though it was. To him, there were metaphorical storm clouds hanging above his head, hiding from him the sun that shone so brightly upon the world. Gods but he was in a foul mood.
Daeva could not have been called friendly on a good day by any stretch of the imagination. For a pack animal, he was almost peculiar in his way of being anti-social...but there was a certain need to be around others, be they of his kind or no...and the conflicting desires made Daeva, in a word, grumpy.
Raising his head, he sniffed the wind, ears flicking forward as he caught scent of another of his kind...a female. Ah...well a female was better than a male in most cases, and hoping that for once an encounter with another individual would be a good thing rather than a tediously irritating encounter, he wandered her way.

Baka found a particularly good looking patch of ground to settle herself down into for a moment. She lay, her black head lifted, eyes shut, listening to the wind. No more being lonely... no more sleeping alone and being afraid. And now that she had a cave to live in... she could be dry and safe when it rained... she hated rain.
She chewed at her paw for a moment, before standing up to prance about some more. Perhaps I'll find something for Mzaa to eat She thought, gazing around for some of the obvious signs of mice or a frog. Her ears twitched as she lowered her head to start scenting for something-but caught a diffrent smell. She lifted her head and gazed about... she smelled another maned wolf.
This was an odd thing... she had only ever met her family members, and Mzaa before... so this was an exciting thing for her. She let out a happy yap, before prancing towards the smell...
She loved meeting new people

Daeva could hear her now, and his ears pricked, alert, as he trotted forward. It was only a few moments later that his gray-green eyes rested on the dark-pelted female. He made a soft woofing sound in greeting, canting head to one side. "Hello there..." Really...now what was he supposed to say? It wasn't as though he was a wondrously social creature, and conversation had never really been his best point.
Hopefully she'd have something to say...it didn't even necessarily have to be interesting...
This place was quite far from the place where Daeva had been born, foreign soil, as it were, and he also wondered if this female was any good at giving directions. However, no female he'd met before had been very adept at such a thing...adding to his slowly growing conviction that a female should never lead anything.

Baka heard him speak and was enthusiastic with joy. Mzaa had told her she needed to make friends-so she was intent on befriending this stranger. Her brown eyes shimmered with the sheer delight of it. Oh the fun-to meet others of her own. She pranced and bucked and was wild in her glee-until she got close enough to see him clearly. She stood with her side to him, gazing down her muzzle at him with a smile.
Hello-how are you? She asked, her black tail wagging, the tip brilliant against her pelt. She licked her lips and bucked her head a few times, her ears twitching.
What would be your name? I'm Baka... Baka'mbu.

Oh goodness, well at least she seemed intelligent, intelligent enough to speak properly, and that was really all that mattered in the long run. With a soft sigh, he canted head to one side, examining her. Really a very lovely female, all told.
"I'm lost, to be perfectly honest." He explained, "But otherwise I suppose I must admit to being quite well. You?" As he had heard it was only proper to ask the same in return.
"My name is Daeva, and I'm guessing that you prefer to be called Baka?"

Baka smiled warmly at him. He found his pelt to be unusual too... Mzaa was orange with many marks on him and Daeva was orange too. She wasn't used to all this color-after all she had been born to a litter with black and grey's. But she was happy enough as it was to just be around anyone-friends were nice.
Sure... Mostly everyone I know does... but Baka or Mbu is fine... I usually know who everyone is talking about when they say either of those... She said with a laugh. She padded closer and gazed at his white tail that went grey. She cocked her head. Did your Mom or your Dad give you your tail?
