Never Talk to Strangers
 Shula was from Isra Kaiya, however she did wander off a lot. Which was unlike her, usually she stuck close to her sister as that's all she really had. Keeping close to her family was just knowledge.
But she wanted to find something on her own. Becoming half-pack someday would be in her heart. However she was at an inner turmoil over it. Was leaving family the right thing to do? She wasn't even on the outskirts anymore. However she veered away from Arcana to keep from stepping into her Alphas' enemy territory. However Shula believed in being peaceful.
She enjoyed the simple things in life. Most introverts or overly shy things did. Her green eyes glancing around at the trees and the forest. She was so used to the Ocean scenery in which her pelt clashed with. Here she felt at home. Especially when the sun set and matched her cloak.

 Rounmos had traveled far from the pack he'd left. They suited him no longer, and he would rather face the unknowns that remain. It had been a trial for him. Learning to do everything for himself without anyone else to rely on. He had learned though. Mistakes and all he had come through. Now that he was well away from there, he relaxed. Just a bit. That was one lesson hard learned; don't let your guard down.
The bright male slipped between some trees. He was so darn visible. A couple times he'd resorted to rolling in the mud and moving at night. Rounmos shook his head at the thought. He'd probably looked very silly. It wasn't long before his eye caught another bright flash between some trees. He stopped and looked hard. Another wolf was a reason to be cautious.
"Hello?"

In her daze again, she could feel the presence of another slip towards her. Her father always told her there was many strangers in the forest. And to be aware of the consequences of friending a bad wolf.
Her eyes lifted to the Hello. His body seemed to be tense. Or so she thought it was. With a skittish twitch she turned around abruptly and lowered her head swiftly. Tucking her tail.
"H..Hello?" She said softly. She didn't want to seem rude to the male in the least. "I.. I hope I am not intruding?" She tilted her head just slightly in the lowering.

The other wolf, a female, hadn't jumped down his throat soon as he'd shown himself. This was good. Rounmos gave a friendly wag of his tail. He did not want her to think he was aggressive or mean. Of course this was a strange wolf. He didn't know what their rules or customs were.
"Not in the least. I was about to say the same thing. Are you from around here? I'm Rounmos. Traveling through." Nice, innocent, little wanderer. No harm here. He tried to look friendly.

Flicking her ears up a little she settled down. But gave that shy twitch to her step as she cantered on the spot a little. Thinking on his questions she tilted her head a little more and then stopped. Straightening her head. Rounmos. Well now he wasn't a stranger?
She straightened herself out more and acted like a calm and collected Gamma. Even if her stomach twitched and she blushed, if wolves could blush, under her fur.
"M..My name is Shula. I'm sort of.. Half Pack to Isra Kaiya, the pack that's by the Ocean. I was born there?" She raised her last part in sentence. To see if it seemed right to say. "If you wish to continue, I mean not to bother you in the least. Mr. Rounmos."

He remained calm and still as she twtiched and pranced. He didn't want her to startle with some wild tale about an attacking wolf. That would be a bad day. Rounmos smiled as she appeared to settle down. Good.
"That is a very pretty name Shula. Pardon me, but I'm a bit confused. What does Half Pack to Isra Kaiya mean?" He had never head of that pack, but then again he'd just come into the area. Looked like he still had a lot to learn. She was a beautiful wolf. It saddened him not to be able to get to know her better. However, he didnt' want to stick around if she didn't want him there.
"Oh right. Um. It wasn't a bother. Pleasure meeting you Shula." He got up with tail slightly between his legs and started to walk away.

She was inclined to tell him now, and as he moved to leave she flicked her ears up. "W..Wait Mr. Rounmos! I still haven't answered your question. It would be rude of me. Half-Pack means that I am very welcomed to join the pack again. However I am a lone wolf. My home will always be Isra Kaiya as a Gamma. But.. I don't know if I am looking for something else quite yet." She tilted her head. That was easier. Now that she could say it out loud. It was easier to understand what she'd want.
"Also, my name means The Flames." She gave a smile. Her father named her it for obvious reasons. "My pa would always tell me that I reminded him of the Forest when the sun began to set. Especially in the Spring.." She bowwed her head. "Where are you from?"

He looked back when she called for him to wait. It wasn't in him to raise a fuss. Rounmos smiled as he found the reason. At least she'd answer that. He came back over and settled down to listen. "Do you mind if I asked why you left?" It couldn't of been on bad terms if she was welcomed back. He was quite curious as to what might appeal to her.
"It suits you. I can see what he means." For a moment he looked away. Lost in thoughts and memories of his old home. It still left a bitter taste in his mouth. Very quietly he said, "a long way away from here."

Sitting on her own haunches, she steadied herself. Shula wasn't that bad of a size. But it was obvious she wasn't full 'Ocean' wolf as they'd call her pack's breed of wolf. She was slightly under the normal sized females. Honestly it was because she was born to early. Her sister, Nessa, shared the same height however in physical looks. Her sister was opposite.
"As much as I hate to leave my only sibling's side. Nessa was at home in the pack. I came out here to find something in life. My mother told me that it was the inner feeling of wanting to go and do something other then the norm. I left because I needed to find myself." She lifted her head a bit. "I don't think I belong beside an Ocean."
When he shifted uneasily. She smiled a little. "If it bothers you that much, don't worry to much about it. I was only curious because I answered your question. I'm.. Sorry really." Her shy side beginning to press on her.

Rounmos had no idea what an 'Ocean' size wolf was, but he thought she was just fine as she was. He didn't have much to compare her against. Size didn't necessarily make a better wolf. "I guess that's how it works. You can't really know yourself if your always around the familiar." He approved her choice to leave, since it had been voluntary. Something she'd done for herself.
"Don't give up Shula. You'll find where you belong." Rounmos gave a sigh and shook himself. He needed to get over it and get on with his life. "No, you're right. It was not..... a pleasant leaving." He eyed her coat critically. "In fact, since you're out wandering, I would suggest staying away from where I come from."

She listened to his words. Shula felt the wolf was rather intellectual as he spoke. Her soft greens calmly taking in the surrounding area as he spoke. She didn't tend to look at wolves all to long. Even when speaking to them. Not as an avoidance. But because she was very inward about things.
When he did speak to her she did give him little calm and very polite glances. "I promise, I don't think danger or looking for any kind of trouble is not a Shula-sort-of-thing." She nodded to him. "I'm rather skittish. Actually when I said I wanted to venture out my parents almost threw Nessa at me.
I think I like the forests anyways. I'm not much for the Mountains. I have been there to see the Einherjar. As my Alpha in Isra Kaiya is Niflheim of Einherjar's cousin. Long story." She chuckled. "It runs in their family."
She then smiled a little. "Where do you think you'll fit in more Rounmos?"

Rounmos was sure she could at least take care of herself if she was out here alone. He didnt and shouldn't baby her. That wasn't what she was out here for. "Then it was brave of you to come." He chuckled hearing about Nessa. Clearly they'd been talked out of that.
"Once over the mountains there are lots of forests. But that's after the mountains, so its probably good." He shook his head, "I don't know them either." The names confused him, but he nodded politely anyhow. Shula knew what she was talking about.
A soft laugh filled his chest at her next question. "I fear I am like you in that. Looking for myself and a place."

She blinked a little. Brave? Well. Her family would laugh at that thought. She wasn't like her parents. Both very level-headed, well rounded and knew what laws to lay down. Her aunt and cousins were just the same. Even her Aunt was an Alpha.
Tilting her head a little she hummed. But maybe he was right. Maybe this was her way of being brave. Even a little introverted. She was talking to a stranger. Which was very much so her biggest fear as a pup.
Hearing he came from somewhere else her ears flicked forward. "Oh so you come from outside of the Hinterlands? You are officially the first wolf I've met from outside." She let her tail wag behind her docilely.
Grinning at this laugh for her latest question she ruffled her fur as she moved.
"That's nothing to fear. What there is to fear is the possibility of never finding yourself. But. Mother always told me to not think like that. She wasn't an Isra Kaiyan until last year. And in the end she found her true calling.
It shouldn't be to hard, then.. Should it?"

He hadn't realized this area had a name. The Hinterlands. Rounmos gave a lopsided grin. "I'm not that strange am I?" He laughed awkwardly. If others could tell he wasn't from around here, would that give him problems? He had to learn fast. Or maybe it was better to stand out.
Rounmos stopped himself as she mis-understood. "I only mean that I am in the same situation as you. Not really afraid, but just going." He gave an understanding nod. That would be horrible. To do all that traveling and have no result. Or worst, to wander forever until your death. He gave a firm reassuring nod.
"Yes. Just keep trying, and never give up. We'll both find our place."
