Open to all SW wolves, but I was thinking maybe @Koda, since they haven't actualy met one on one? Or alternatively some of the new guys (@Camio @Nova) But really anyone is good :D

And outside! The snow was falling thickly, large, fuzzy flakes swirling in a dance around the fire-pelted she wolf as she made her way through The Thicket of Secrets. The cold was strong enough to nib at her black snout, the frost clearly evident against, otherwise hardened, paw pads. There had been enough snowfall over the past days to place a thick cover over The Woodlands; bare branches garnished with a lavish, white frosting and the fallen leaves of autumn covered up by the freezing duvet. It was unmistakably winter now!

Aideen Smoke, having grabbed the opportunity of a slight lightening in the snowfall, was out and about, ignoring the cold in favor of appreciating the prettiness of the snow-covered surroundings. She had been out early, passing the borders to scout further out into The Thicket, checking that no scavengers were lurking nearby, and keeping an eye out for any trace of food. She had found neither, which left her feeling rather well, honestly; the opportunity to hunt had been secondary, simply an ever present instinct in any wolf, her primary goal had been to assure that The Woodlands were safe.

Now that winter had claimed Relic Lore, a large part of the petite healers primary job had been halted, since most herbs and other plants of medical use where gone until spring. That didn't mean that she was completely obsolete though; as the cold took over the lands, the services of a medic would be even more vital. Frozen paws, coughs and colds, as well as the possibility - however dreadful - of having to treat malnourished wolves, as prey became scarce. The orange girl shivered, remembering the last, horrible winter, and speed up her brisk trot in an effort to keep warm. Still, at the moment she was left with a lot of spare time, and, wanting to be useful, she used it to go patrolling. Not that she doubted it would be done without her, with Miccah as a guardian, and both Koda and Nina as vigilant leaders , the borders were sure to be kept up. And as well with Iopah on hunting duty, the young healer did not fear that a herd in their vicinity would be missed; but more eyes were always better.

It was just beginning to darken, the already diffused light growing dimmer, and Aideen had turned home, not wanting to be stuck out when night came and the cold became even worse. She could feel a slight stiffness in her legs, both from all the working she had done, and from the cold, and it was with a sigh that she crossed over the borders, slowing slightly as she was safe within her home.

Take him :| @Aideen

It was snowing. The sign that winter had finally graced the lands of Relic Lore with its unwanted, or maybe wanted by some wolves, presence. Even though the white fluff of snow laid among the grounds of the thicket, cold against his paws, Camio still kept doing his jobs. Running border patrols, makings sure things were in line, and looking for any food for the pack. The Zamora male had even cut out a chunk of his day which was usually devoted to @Nova, though that was usually in the morning or the evenings.

He had been lounging around the borders this evening he figured he would only stay out here a short tad bit longer then head back to the heart of the lands to warm himself up next to Nova. Though through the cold and snow falling his eyes caught sight of something, or someone, moving across the borders. The hairs down his spine tingled lightly raising. He brought himself to a tall stand until he smelt the scent of Secret Woodlands coming off the other. Letting himself relax lightly he watched from about seven feet away until he decided to approach the other.

Moving towards his pack mate he wagged his tail and offered a smile when he realized it was just Aideen. "Hey there Aideen!" Positioning himself so he could walk next to her he let his tail shallowly wag. It was nice to have other socialization besides Nova. Not that he had an issue with Nova, since they did love each other, but he would like to get to know other pack mates. Even if they were females, which would surely spark something in Nova. Camio knew she could be a bit protective and he didn't blame her but sometimes he wished she wouldn't. He wasn't gonna go around flirting with every female he came across. Especially now that he had Nova.

"Nice to see you again! What have you been up to on this snowy day? Offering a ivory teethed smile he hoped the female didn't mind his company.

"Speech."

Mind focused on getting home to the den, guard down now that she was within the borders, the tri colored girl didn't notice Camio until he was quite close; jumping slightly when she suddenly caught sight of him moving out the corner of her eye. A friendly smile quickly cracked her mouth though, eyes twinkling as she looked up at the bronze wolf falling in step beside her. "Camio!" She grinned, waving her tail favorably; "Good to see you too. I've just been out a little trip, making sure all is well." Her bright grin faded to a soft, warm smile - not because her mood changed, but simply because her jaw hurt slightly from the broad beam - and turned her copper gaze back to the path before them, to watch out for the bramble that crept along the forest floor in this spot.

I've been doing a lot more smiling lately than I have in a long time... Aideen thought to herself, feeling light hearted at the revelation; It's awfully nice to feel happy again! Getting clean of the difficult area, the petite healer looked up at her companion again, flashing him another brilliant grin, she just couldn't help it; "The weather aside, it's quite a nice day out; no sign of any threats to the peace out there!" She waved an ear, almost jokingly, feeling a bounce sneak into her step as they moved on through the Thicket of Secrets. "What about yourself, what have you been doing today?" She asked curiously, swiftly giving the tawny man a once over, using all her senses to sneak a hint at what he might have been up too, before he gave his answer.

His scent leaked little though, mostly characterized by the normal smells of Secret Woodlands; Nina and Koda, the other pack wolves, as well as quite a strong note of another individual; Female, young... The one he joined with? Aideen remembered seeing the dark girl at the pack meeting the other day; and now that she thought of it, her behavior on that occasion could be considered quite possessive, though the orange lass hadn't noticed at the time. Flicking her tail curiously, she bit back a question about the girl, remembering her manners, and asked instead: "Are you settling in well here?" It was question just as sincere as her previous, she truly hoped he was enjoying The Woodlands, and had been well received by the rest of the pack; He and his friend both!
