Her legs were strong now. Her body was healed and healthy again. Narimé was not going to just sit around forever in Willow territory. She had made that clear by joining the pack hunt. Now she was working her way around the territory outside of the borders searching for a lone deer or something to help with the caches. Her blue eyes danced as she gazed across the lightly forested landscape. While her nose twitched at every new scent that crossed it.

Her head jerked sideways when the scent of a wolf caught her nose. Stopping in her tracks Nari lifted her head scenting the air and sampling the wind direction. Then she turned her gray head to the right and looked for the loner that was ambling around. I wonder if she's looking for food or shelter.. Nari questioned herself as she began padding in the direction of the loners scent.

She finally spotted the she wolf at the water's edge. Her dark coat making it slightly hard for Narimé to miss the she wolf against the lightly snow covered ground. Padding closer to the she wolf Nari readied herself for a bad encounter. She knew that not all wolves liked to be talked to or bothered. Any wolf who was a loner should be treated cautiously but also respectfully.

As the young silver woman padded up she let out a woof to assure the female that she was not alone. Then Nari set her tail out lifted neutrally behind her and paused about four or so feet away from the stranger.

"Hello there. You looking for something?" Nari raised an eyebrow questioningly but her tone was somewhat joking and friendly. Though her body was tense waiting for a problem to arise. "My name is Narimé Lagina Thorben. I'm a hunter from Willow Ridge, and you seem like you're heading our direction. Are you looking for food? Or pack?" She left her question hanging in the air wondering if the she wolf would be calm or aggressive.

The longer Narimé watched the stranger checking her reactions and watching for the womans mood to sour the more Nari grew wary of the loner. Especially after the she wolf answered. A longer answer than Nari was used to getting from loners. The way the woman spoke. Was odd to her, but the silver hunter kept her mind open. This could still be a good wolf for Elettra and the pack. Circumstances as they were, Nari knew Willow Ridge would be losing more than just herself when spring came. They would need another good hunter to help feed El's pups.

Then the woman asked a question back. "What are you looking for?" What am I looking for? She repeated in her head mulling over an answer. She had been out to look for prey close to home. Not wanting to wander back out into Hush meadow and fall through the earth again. Even if that was the best place to hunt deer. She decided to answer the question fully, for her present actions and future movements.

"I am looking for food close to home right now. Though i found you here. Which is possibly a good thing. Then I'll be heading home soon." She paused looking over the healthy she wolf. "Our pack could use you. i can take you back to the border and call for the alpha if you really are looking for a family to join. As for them accepting you... No matter your temperament or your morals.. As long as you can help the pack in some way, say hunting. So long as you stay loyal, Elettra my alpha should accept you. She will be needing a replacement for me come Spring anyway..." Nari hinted her plans on leaving but did not continue speaking about it. She would only answer if the woman asked about it.

She was far more interested in if this loner would become a potential pack mate. Or if she would want to leave..

Indeed this female was starting to give Nari the creeps. Just her mannerisms alone had Nari's hackles rising, which she caught in time to force them flat. Though she hoped El could see some use for her. Nari wondered what the womans name was. She had yet to divulge that bit of information.

"Take me to this pack. I shall see if they are my..type."

Her growl caused another bout of hackle rising which Nari forced flat again. Then as the woman walked past she snapped at the air in front of her causing Nari to lift her head with ears forward watching her carefuly. Nari might have been taller and better fed but this woman had a length to her that she could not match. That length spoke of muscle and fighting ability. Nari noted all of this and pulled her lip up to let one of her fangs show in warning. Then she shook her ruff and forced herself to relax again smoothing out her face.

It was wolves like this that Nari typically meets once then avoids further encounters with. Though she had to say, wolves like this made very good guards once they were well fed. Perhaps she would make a better guardian than a hunter. She sighed then followed the she wolf. It would be nice if they could get something to bring back to the caches. Plus it would give the loner better standing with Elettra.

"A few rabbits would be good for now. Nothing too large to carry back.." She commented while carefully watching the she wolf padding infront of her.

Despite the females oddness Nari was glad to know that she had a good sense of humor. Or at least she thought it was humor. For once Narimé was able to keep her fur flat without a problem and she shared the joking smile the stranger had upon her maw.

"An Alligator? I don't even know what that is.. Some kind of bird?" She chuckled while padding along behind the female. The curious ache still banging around in her head. What was the females name?

Finally Nari couldn't hold back. Besides, shouldn't she know the name of someone who might join the pack? With a huff she spoke her mind to the loner.

"So what's your name anyway? If I may ask." She politely uttered her question while tipping her head upward to scent the air for a meal.

All she could scent was bird. Which was rather strange since normally the smell of bird wasn't strong. It caught Nari's attention and brought her eyes to the ground to look for tracks. What kind of bird left this much scent on the ground? It was as if they were traveling along the ground instead of flying.

It was then that the scent clicked in her head. She had hunted these once before. A long time ago, but nonetheless she had even caught one. Turkeys. I wonder if we'll find the main troop of turkeys somewhere ahead?

"If you are interested in hard to catch game I can smell turkeys somewhere ahead of us." She told the female and waited to see if she would be interested in large feathered prey.
