Cedarwood Forest A new start...

OOC: Bleehh..short post is short.. D:

Vlarindara smiled, her tail wagging softly behind her as she watched the black female dart off into the water. A laugh escaped the older wolf as she trotted to the bank and then waded into the frigid liquid, her tail flying over her haunches. "Would you like to learn how?" She couldn't rightly be sure if the female knew how to hunt, to be honest.. but she had seen the look of questioning before she'd dove into the current. Of course, if she didn't need, nor want help, Vlar had no problems with wading back out and letting Volkan do her own fishing. "You don't have to catch me anything..if you don't want to.." Her tone hadn't changed from the gentle, almost mothering tone she'd taken on upon meeting the female. At least.. mostly.

So the water was really, really cold. Volkan's eyes widened in shock as she found a good part of her body submerged. What she also realized a little too late was that barging into the water meant scaring away a majority of the fish. Shivers shaking her lanky frame, the younger female glanced back at Vlarindara, forcing a smile. <b>"It's fine!"</b> She said, shaking her head wildly to rid it of water, sending droplets in all directions. <b>"It's not that cold,"</b> she added after a moment. (Lie.)

Newly shaken off, the wolf with wet fur poking haphazardly out like spikes from her cheeks resembled, at best, a wet rat. She tried to ignore the cold, telling herself it felt exhilarating, and resolved herself to scoping out fish. How hard could it be? <b>"I've never done this before, but it can't be that hard. Just... find one and catch it, right?"</b> It seemed pretty straightforward. It didn't take long for a good-sized fish to swim right under her nose, and when it did, Volkan leapt up and came back down with open jaws, hoping either to snap up the fish or stun it with her weight or the impact on the water. Unfortunately, neither happened; it just swam away. Undeterred, the yearling pounced on it again, this time catching its tail under her paw. It wriggled, but, holding her breath and taking the plunge, she retrieved it in her jaws, flopping helplessly. A wide, satisfied grin crossed her face as she held it in her teeth, trotting out of the water toward the older female. <b>"Shee! Eashy!"</b> And she promptly plopped it down on the bank, watching it flop, leaving it to its intended recipient and glancing back at her with a lighthearted laugh.

OOC: hehehe! :D welcome back ;D

The white wolf laughed softly as she watched the antics of the yearling standing before her - but her succesful catch made the female grin all the more. Vlarindara did a little two step as she laughed, barking happily and encouragingly at the onyx pelted she-wolf. "You did well! With practice.. you'll be able to find yourself a decent meal..." She lowered her head to the fish as it was obviously meant for her before lifting it in her jaws and tossing it in the air before catching it a few times.. even shaking her head on the last catch much like a domestic dog would with a toy of some kind.

After she finished playing with her food, she settled to eat it, the fish falling between her two front paws, amber eyes shifting to look at the other wolves. "Thank you.. It looks delicious.." The female then set to devouring her meal as fast as she could, wondering idly if she could get brain freeze from eating a fish so fast. When she finished, the wolf licked her paws, then her lips to clean the rest of her meal away. "Did...you wish to come back with me? Perhaps have a home?" There wasn't much Vlarindara could do if Volkan didn't want to go - wanted to stay a loner.. But she felt odd not offering.

Finally back from absence! And it feels so goood :] But short, as I gotta go to work.

<i>"Did...you wish to come back with me? Perhaps have a home?"</i>

Volkan's ice blue eyes flickered over Vlarindara's face once, then fell to her paws modestly. She felt her heart begin to race suddenly – a home? She should have seen it coming. If Ruiko had asked her so quickly after meeting her, and that was <i>Ruiko</i>, then of course this female, being as generous and friendly as she was, would ask the same thing of a newcomer. And to be honest, the onyx female felt... a little nervous. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate the offer, it was simply that she'd wanted to do some more exploring, more meeting others, before settling down. And since the Aquila Clan was so recent in her memory, she shivered at the thought of jumping into another pack, another family, so quickly. Besides, why did these Relic Lore wolves all want packs, anyway? Why did they all seem so eager to ask her to stay with them?

Or... maybe she was freaking out just a little. As she thought, Volkan might have appeared to visibly freeze somewhat, staring at Vlarindara wide-eyed. But as soon as she realized she was staring off into space, the yearling female came around and smiled politely, desperately not wanting to offend. <b>"I appreciate the offer,"</b> she responded quietly, <b>"I really do... do you want to show me around?"</b> She wasn't quite sure how to say no.
