The whirling gust of invisible current were bitter as they toyed with her draperies stiffness was ruffled and fluffed. Light crystals fell from the swirling heavens above her. The realm this she-wolf had entered was not claimed yet, she could smell the traces of another lupus in close proximity. The stench was bold, figuring it was a brute a grimace broadcasted across her visage. Another idiot she’d more than likely have to take on perhaps? She had zilch tolerance for mumbling brutes. A low and subterranean growl delved from the backside of her dehydrated gorge. Adjutants prodded the earth as her serrated claws clenched the soil and snow mixed slush leaving deep tracks that vanished quickly in the wake of movements.


A beastly howl shot through the tops of the lofty forest skyscrapers echoing as it bounced between the limbs of the trees. A trilling sensation shot up and down her spinal cord as the pelt that served as the covering rose like a straight razor. Obviously, he wanted to be heard and acknowledged. Aestyn’s décolletage extended upward as it unconstraint it’s own soaring howl. Her oppressive notes rang through the airwaves announcing her acknowledgement. If he was intelligent with his actions she’d be no threat. But, she stayed doubtful.


Her expectations were set to an elevated bar few had ever engaged in sharp tolerable conversation with her. She came back to reality from her thoughts as she noted a bulky boulder only a few yards from her. She would have the advantage of height if the he-wolf decided to make an appearance. Assuredly, she came within reach of the curly moss draped boulder. Aestyn’s back appendages mustered up the strength she needed to contact the rock bed surface. Gaining the much needed access to the cap of the boulder she stood unwavering in her dominant stance, just waiting and surveying the forest property before her scouring aqua pools.

Aestyn’s shrilling howl caused the forest to empty out of it’s once chipper and light atmosphere to one of silence and coldness. Just the way she preferred it. a smirk formed in the corner of her smug façade drawing more apparent as the silent seconds passed. The posture she apprehended sustained its governing stature. White puffs continued to plummet from the spiraling zephyr from the heights above. Cold bits planted themselves unwelcome to her snout pallet. Without warning, a sneeze billowed from within her cavities escaping as small capsules of saliva sprung from her ivory cage. Shuddering herself free from the collecting crystals from her mixed hued pallet. She was sure her sneeze was audible enough to tip off the he-wolf that was in the near vicinity. Sure enough, within moments her enjoyable silence was shattered with the reverberation of movement through the dense forest floor and the sloshing sounds of freshly fallen snow.


”Here goes nothing.” she huffed inwardly to herself. Abruptly, the brute broke through into her vision. His winter coat was as dark and deep as night. The brutes physique was rather massive and definitely fitting of a beast. His somber and non antagonistic movements revealed he came to her peacefully. Aestyn’s footing remained firmly planted as he came nigh. She noted as his cranium dipped politely. “Yes, I am sure you are. You sounded pretty enthralled with your call.” his breath taking amber pools studied her. Her posture lightened slightly as her words were thrown with a spit of mockery. “All smiles huh?...” he was awful friendly, must be desperate for company she concluded.
For now, she would amuse him until her IQ could take no more; but than again maybe he would surprise her? Besides, she really had nothing better to do at moment. Maybe she could be humored with mocking him, if he wasn’t up to par?

Just as Aestyn suspected the already massive brute had to puff out his macho-ness. unfazed, a chuckle from the back regions of her throat was voiced. His point was made and read easily. He was proportionally built more in size which was obvious to anyone. Why males knowing they are indeed broadly constructed was beyond her. She was sure it was due to their ego’s. Aestyn recognized his body language slip back into a big teddy bear appearance. ” Just like a bird fluffing it’s feathers for a dove.” His sob story pined on as he tried to gain sympathy from her. His chuckle at her word “enthralled” made her roll her eyes in aggravation. She sensed a migraine coming on. “Yes, you heard me right. In simpler terms you seemed desperate to find someone. And by the amount of time it took you to find me. I was right in assuming your.... ENTHRALLMENT.” she said over accentuating the last word with pure spit fire. she was not pusillanimous with her witty words. smirking at the dark brute as she compensated.


She quickly spoke again with velveteen lyrics “As have I. Though, I’ve been on my own most of my existence.” she shifted her focus off of him for a quick moment as she let her pink ribbon retreat from behind her incisors as she twisted her neck to groom her left elbow. Caressing her pelt that protected her elbow, she gave in to its unruliness as her attention returned fully back to the he-wolf present before her. Introductions came from him as he revealed his given name. ”Jester?... Peculiar.” she thought briefly before she spoke up. My... What a name you have.” she spit out quickly as he dipped down. At least he was respectful she appreciated his polite gestures. ” I am Aestyn, a mere vagabond. “ she spewed an answer he had not asked the question for. Settling herself again slightly in her rigid posture the cold breezes bites were getting to her. She slumped downward unto her muscular haunches hoping that would give her a little more warmth.

she was honestly quite stunned with his collected well mannered reactions to her prod baring words. most he-wolves would buck and refuse to counter her speech though, he did try and intimidate her with little luck he was easily self diffused. he appeared to have a very go with the flow type of personality. Jester had made a remark that couldn’t be more accurate. ”Smartest thing I have heard you say yet.” she cooed with a slight chuckle. her mood was turning to become more tranquil. For such a bulky and perhaps to others, intimidatingly... massive fellow he sure had a lightness to him that rang calmingly to her. the more time that passed the more her snobbish guard fell. Although only very slightly.


”You get over being lonely, when you realize what a waste of time most lupus are.”
she spoke up her words were straightforward but, less sharp.
” I named myself so it ought be different. I can’t blend in with every one. Being alone has taught me to be self reliant.” she said as her captivating orbits looked unequivocal into his pumpkin dunked pools. her new position wasn’t cutting it to keep out the sting of the dropping temperature. his question was more of an invitation to come down in her opinion. she knew losing the advantage of the height would put her at more of a risk to being engulfed by his sheer size.


tempting herself with thoughts of finding somewhere where she could self generate heat a little quicker. ” I suppose I had better.” she coughed her words back to him as the cold breeze drafted into her nostrils seizing her breath a time or two. was it just her or was the quantity of snow falling just multiplying? her front two limbs stretch forward and down unto a small cut out shelf as her back haunches pulled her back limbs to meet the front before she leapt off the now snow plastered boulder. landing compacted a soft but vibrating thud was audible. ”now where?...”she huffed as her own breath became visible before her.
