Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eos stood in the river, dipping hid head in every so often to allow the water's currents to wash away the foul muck from his fur. It was a bit slow of a cleaning process, but eventually much of it was cleaned away, allowing for his white fur to show once again. He still smelled a bit off, but nothing a little time couldn't wear away. A bit unsteadily he walked back out of the river, sitting himself down on the grass to start drying off. This would take much longer, as the sun was no longer up to help, but he felt much better now that he neither smelled nor was he weighed down any longer by the extra weight.

"Thank you." He finally spoke, though his gaze stayed forward. He wasn't quite sure where the female was anymore. "It would have taken me much longer to get out of there on my own, let alone find a source of water so soon to wash it off." Eos smiled, hoping she was at least somewhere in front of him, or this would be a very odd looking conversation.

Eos chuckled slightly at her statement. She certainly didn’t seem to be a modest one, but that just made her that much more interesting. He turned his head towards her voice, nodding as she spoke. “No, I don’t suppose there is, though I would not have denied it anyways.” A light sigh followed before he continued to speak. “Well I wasn’t travelling alone this whole time. My brother was with me, however as you can see he is no longer accompanying me. I haven’t had much of a choice since then but to wander on my own.” He fell silent afterwards, not sure if he should explain further.

“Are you travelling alone as well?” He asked, deciding that if further explanation should be required it might best be saved for a later time, that is if she was even curious.

“I see. This is the first time I have been alone. Usually I had some family or pride member with me, but..” He trailed off for a moment before speaking again, though he did not continue upon his previous thought. “Family can be nice though. I don’t know where much of mine is any longer, though I am sure I will see them again someday.” Eos smiled at her, or at least in the direction of her voice.

“Not yet anyways. I’ve managed on my own so far, though hunting has been difficult. I am still adjusting to the loss of my sight so so far I have had to either rely on others or scavenge to survive.”

Eos could not help but laugh a little at this. “I’m sure I won’t scavenge forever, it will just take some practice. Some help might not hurt though, but I am unsure how lucky we would be to find someone who knows how to train someone to hunt blind.” Surely it wasn’t an impossible idea, but it seemed unlikely. If nothing else a pride might at least give a stable home where he wouldn’t have to worry about starving if he failed to catch anything, or find anything.

“A very pretty name.” Eos said with a smile. “I am Eos.”

“We can keep an eye out for others passing by as well, they may know of a place.” Eos said. Of course when he said we he meant her, being that in his current situation keeping an eye out for anyone would be a bit hard. He wasn’t worried though, never one to really do so anyways. They’d find a place.
