AW! Around sunrise, Overcast, 0C/32F

Today was one of the first days where Hellhound was beginning to feel like he could see spring somewhere in the distance. The sun was just beginning to crown the earth, despite being hidden behind a carpet of grey clouds, the sky was lightening. Despite the early hour, it was decently warm, and the snow was beginning to melt out of the trees into puddles of slush on the ground. He was not particularly fond of the snow, and there was a lot more of it here than back at the beach, Hellhound would not be sad to see it go.

Any musings about the nice weather were instantly forgotten as he saw a plump black squirrel making its way across the snow. It seemed to be heading towards the solitary cherry tree, and the fox like wolf crept along behind it. Despite his best efforts, the snow splashed around one of his paws, and his prey took off towards the safety of the tree.

Cursing under his breath, Hellhound took off after it, but he was not quick enough. The squirrel went up the cherry tree and the wolf jumped up after it, placing his front paws on the bough and barking at it in frustration. That will definitely make it come down.

in advance, his internal monologue is very odd cause hes...messed up. He also doesn't hold his tongue.

Forest. Forest. Why the forest? Why was the forest? To now question the Gods for being in forest. They said...to run. Run. For days, run run. Still, only forest. Why run in forest? Why Gods?

Suddenly a smell. One of...a... wolf? A kin? A friend? An enemy? Who knew? Who cared? It was the first smell to have been smelled that was not just greenery. He ran, he ran, to the smell, the smell. Odin's Eye saw it first, the other. The wolf barking up the tree. Why? The tree? Was mad at...the tree?

" For why are bark tree? Thick in head? Dumb dumb? Hel wrong with you?"

First other in days, days. But, weird. Very weird. Tilt head in confusion because weird. Eyebrow, raised. Odin's Eye watching.

He had been so focused on his frustrated barking that the stranger easily snuck up behind the fox-like wolf without being noticed. It was the voice that caught his attention and Hellhound whirled around in a flash. At first he was so shocked that he had let his defenses down so that he did not even register what the other man had said.

But then he did.

Peach eyes narrowed sharply and his lip curled in distaste, ”who th' fuck be ye callin' a dumb dumb? ye can't even speak in a sentence.” Hell, the dark creature could hardly put two words together and he wanted to imply that Hellhound was stupid? An Archer just could not lay down and take an insult like that, it was beneath them.

”If ye ain't tryin' t' start a fuckin' fight I suggest ye eat yer words.” Okay, so taking insults was beneath him, but clearly being rude was not.

Ginger hackles bristled along his spine in annoyance, and tail lashed behind him. Typically Hellhound was not much of a fighter without his siblings and cousins to back him up, but this idiot already looked half blind. How hard could it be?

Other angry. Show self as bigger than are. How strange. Other asking for fight. Like this other. Is good to have fighters. Hmm maybe calm talk.

"Oi, of no being meaning hurt words. From elsewhere. Saw other barking up tree thought funny. Odd. I escape from hairless ape. Had trapped. Like to get out. Cause chaos. Other seem like fun. Cause chaos with? Yes?"

Flash teeth in smile. Hope other not afeared of attack. Sit down and scratch. Itttccchhhhyyy. Itchy to raid.

Hellhound had no interest in causing any kind of chaos with this wingbat, but he had to admit he was intrigued. He would save his chaos for his siblings and cousins, but he appreciated that this weird man was not some boring pack wolf. Plus, there were these bald ape things that he was talking about. Forgetting all about the squirrel he turned to look at the salt and pepper man, peach eyes flitting over him from head to toe.

He was flashing him a weird smile, but Hellhound ignored it, trying to get to the route of the story. Sitting his rump down upon the snow he retorted, ”ye were captured by bald apes but got away? What th' hell does that even mean?” He had never seen an ape before, let alone a bald one. And what would these things want to do with a crazy wolf?

Reyjiek smiled a toothy, idiotic grin, one eye fixed on the one barking up the tree.

"Yes, Yes, Hairless ape. Many different color of skin. Brown, peach. But covered in weird colorful like silky objects. Took Odin eye on wooden thing across big water from home."

Tree barker no understand. Big idiot. Never seen ape. Bah. Plenty of ape. Just no here much. Whatever.

Reyjiek scratched some more. He was still feeling the itch of chaos. An itch that couldn't rightly be scratched. He stood up and circled around the other wolf. Almost as if sizing him up. But he didn't want the other to know that. So he kept his stupid ass grin.

Reyjiek had a brief flashback from some of his moments in captivity, in the flashback he remembered the different weird objects around the metal bars he was trapped in. He remembered all the things that were poked into him, causing him pain. He remembered lots of pain, and lots of suffering. This made him drop his grin and fall to the ground convulsing while speaking in tongue.

"Hårløs ape. Stikk, pirket, smerte. Odins øye, frykt. Lid, guder er ikke her for å redde. Hvorfor ingen guder? Trenger..hjelp..trenger kaos..andre..trenger å forstå...betalt.."

Hellhound still had absolutely no idea what this one eyed wolf was talking about, until he said they had covered themselves in silk. This was when it clicked and a look of recognition flew across the ginger features of the man’s face. The Archer man perked up, ”oh! ye mean th' stand uppers? I've seen them back whar I came from, but ne'er heard o' them capturin' anyone before.” They sometimes came and set up weird black boxes that made funny sounds and watched them from afar, but they had never approached the beach packs.

Then the odd creature started speaking in some kind of tongues and Hellhound got back onto his paws. He was nearing the end of his patience with this strange interaction, but he still wanted to learn more about this whole capturing business. ”Yeah, not really sure what any o' that meant. But, why did they kidnap ye? What did they do t' ye?” Is that why he had one eye and spoke so funny? Had they messed him up somehow?

Rejyiek wasn't really able to hear what the other was saying while he was in his stupor from the memories he was having. He did hear the other person ask about why he was captured. When his stupor finished he shook and trembled a little before showing a big grin.

"Don't know. Just captured. Brought across big water. Tortured. Pain. Hurt."

He looked at the other. He was feeling done with the conversation. and turned and started to walk away.

"Tree Barker still weird. Leaving now. Maybe meet later. Keep barking at tree."

Feel free to fade on your next post!

This whole interaction was the strangest thing that Hellhound had ever experienced, and he came from a pack of pirates. Not only that, but his family down the beach was superstitious and a little culty. But this, this one eyed wolf took the cake. The ginger wolf blinked as the stranger seemingly abruptly decided to leave after calling him weird. The Archer chuffed with sarcasm as he watched the other begin to walk away, but he stayed on alert.

There was no telling what this stranger was going to do, or say. He was clearly nuts.

Reyjiek though that this was a strange situation. He still didn't understand why the other was barking at the tree. But that didn't matter that much. It sounded to him like the other knew about the hairless apes and this intrigued Reyjiek. He wasn't sure how many others have seen or interacted on them. But all he knew was that he wanted to cause chaos, because of all those apes.

Reyjiek glanced back at the other and just let out a big laugh as he continued to walk away. He was done with this other. He didn't want to see them again. If he did, there would be chaos.
