Yosei had wandered off from her Soquili friend Paluma Fae to look for food. Fae didn't much like watching the wolf hunt, it upset the sweet flutter greatly to see other things die but that was how Yo hunted and lived.
So she would venture away when she needed a good filling hunt to keep Fae from seeing the killing. She smiled as she pranced around and leaped a blueberry bush. She sniffed around and caught a few scents. Rabbit, ground hog and....male...musky...wolf? She pricked her ears forward and sniffed about as she tried to find the source for this musky smell...it was almost intoxicating to her and she didn't understand why.

 It wasn't as though he was in a slump or anything, but... Damian was just feeling slumpy. He had been doing a lot of reflecting on his life, especially the two sets of pups he had raised. It was easier with the first litter, the reasoned, with Scout there. Scout had been a reasonable she-wolf, one who had a level head in all situations. They allowed their pups to go or stay with either parent and Damian often wondered if he had been more level-headed, whether any of the pups would have stayed with him.
Princess had been a temper tantrum in wolf's clothing and while he had initially fallen for her beauty, he couldn't just stand by and watch her take away their pups after she had shown her true colors. So he had fought her and maybe some of that lingering doubt remained for when the pups grew, they had all many of complex personalities and few grew up as he hoped they would. Larka had her mother's temper, Balam had her angst and Zuri... Well, Zuri was quiet. Abbadon had left and rarely returned so he wasn't sure what had happened there. And Ulfred? Well, Ulfred turned out alright. He had bonded with a trickster of a stallion and never returned, but Damian thought of him often and wished him well every time.
He wasn't sure what to think of she-wolves or pups at the moment. He didn't know if he was ever going to find true love or even just another decent she-wolf to raise pups with and he certainly didn't know if there was any hope behind these wonderings or not. Maybe he was just not meant to be a father. He heaved a long sigh and then lay down in a patch of soft grass, cool to the touch thanks to the shade from the foliage overhead.
He was just going to settle in for a midday nap when a new, but also not new, scent passed over him. A she-wolf was nearby. He perked his ears and raised his head. He didn't know her, but he was hesitant to get up and look. Maybe if she came to find him, it would be meant to be and if not.... Well, that was one less thing to worry about.

Yo sniffed about, the smell was driving her crazy. She had never smelled a male wolf like this. She only knew her brothers smell and the few male soquili that Fae had seen. But this hit her and she felt driven to find this male. She was a good hunter though and it wasn't long till she found the trail and the smell got stronger.
Male...what would another male wolf look like? What would he think of her? She thought she was cute, she thought she looked beautiful in her own way and that she was kind of fun. But what did one do with a fun wolf? She leaped up a fallen tree and looked around as her nose lifted to the air and she sniffed it. She turned her attention to a clearing with a grey wolf settled in for a rest. She spread her wings and leaped and glided towards him landing a respectable safe distance from him. She sniffed the air around him and knew this was the male that she was looking for. He didn't seem concerned about her, but she was very interested in him.
"Who are you?" she asked softly. Her tail relaxed and her ears alert. She was interested and not upset in the slightest. She was curious about him and couldn't place her finger on why she wanted to smell more of him.

Damian was alerted to the sound of flapping wings and then the scent of the she-wolf hit him like a tree crushed him. His nose wiggled and his eyes lit with interest. Like Princess, she had wings but unlike Princess, her wings were those of ivory and while he noticed a similarity in markings to Princess' he did not question it. He did question, however, her blunt asking of who he was. He was about to say that he was a wolf that ad a right to be here just like anyone else, but then he noticed that she seemed so desperate to talk to him that he bit off that answer and formed a new one.
"My name is Damian." He said. "And this is my forest." He said it to impress her, or maybe he wanted to seem harmless. At any rate, it got him babbling. "Well, not so much my forest as my bonded's forest, but even then, his herd only resides here, but it's not going anywhere, so we call it our home." He smiled at the she-wolf, suddenly happy for the company. "Who are you?"

She stood on soft grass and moss under her feet and looked over the male. She felt so excited, so drawn towards the smell of him. "Me? I am Yosei. My Fae calls me Yo sometimes. I do not mean to be on your land, i just needed to hunt a bit. Is it ok if I'm here for a little while?" she asked as she stepped towards him again, nose lifted to sniff at the air still. Her heart fluttered and her tail lifted and wagged softly.
She did not know what to think about this male, this situation or why she felt so funny around him but she smiled and looked over him liking that he seemed ok with her here and hadn't run her off or yelled at her. "Maybe we can hunt together and take something big down to fill us both good. Fae doesn't like watching me hunt so i hunt away from her." She said with a smile.

"Yosei, huh? That's a pretty name." Damian replied and then consudered what else she had said. Her fae? Perhaps that was the name of her bonded? Or perhaps the she-wolf was completely loony and thought she could commune with the spirits. He hoped it was the first one. He wasn't quite sure how to deal with those who were "not quite there" usually he let Tenzin deal with such folk.
At her offer to hunt together he looked sheepish.
"I'd be glad to share your company, Yosei, but you're looking at the worst hunter in the world. I fear I might make a mess of whatever we find." He shrugged and gave a half smile. "If you still want to hunt with me after that proposal, then I will be happy to accompany you."

Yo smiled at him and walked a little closer, his smell getting better the whole way to him and she was so very unsure about this smell and why it made her heart flutter or her stomach tighten. "I do not mind how good you are we'll do our best together. And im pretty good at it. So we can go give it a chance. I smelled some ground hogs or bunnies around here some place." she said as she smiled and leaped off towards the grass.
"Follow me if you can!" she said laughing happily as she leaped over a small bush and laughed as she folded her wings to her sides and glanced back to see if he followed her.
