Larkcall Lowlands there's no coming back

RE: The Lore experiences a bout of warm weather.

It seemed the stars always brought her back home. Light snow was her welcome home party, a soft and silent wave of fresh snowflakes that littered her small frame as she wandered, by instinct, back to the only place she had ever truly felt at home. With so much time passed, there was no doubt in her mind that those who remembered her had all long moved on, even those who had taken her into their home and hearts. At this realization, for the briefest of moments, she took a pause to inhale deeply--this reality often stung. She was all alone, had been since her birth and had by some strange miracle, lived to make it to her adult years two times over, it was a celebration for those who took pride in such things, but for Rory she was simply surviving. She was a skeleton of a wolf and had been this way since reaching one year but her height and muscle structure was a reminder of the bloodline that coursed through her veins, she was nearly as tall as her mother but obtaining her bulk had often failed her, instead she resembled a large fox on stilts--weak and nonthreatening, and it was this disguise alone that had kept her alive.

A low rumble in her stomach made her stop to glance over her surroundings. She had no clue exactly where she was but instinct told her that she was North, and the bright star that shone above her confirmed this guess. Comfortable with the distance, and slightly weak from the travel, she lowered herself into a tight ball with her long limbs tucked just enough beneath her to wicker away any moister that threatened to penetrate her winter coat and allowed her lengthy tail to lay, ever so softly, around her. The typical wolf would feel vulnerable out in the open but to Rory, beneath these stars, she was invisible.

Welcome back Hero! Just had to thread with my little Aurora <3

she says beauty is pain

Beneath the shining stars, the Rye wolf wandered. Sleep was evasive to the Snow woman and the only way she could find peace was under the stars. Tonight, she avoided the lookout and the whole area of the Rye fields and instead escaped the marked borders of her home. The second was feeling oddly irritated with any wolf that shared the same scent as hers, she needed to get away from all of them. Only for tonight.

The vast lowlands giving way to the horizon that was littered with stars and the waning moon. Humming lightly to herself, she traveled on, not sure where he legs were taking her this time. Adelayde was quite familiar with the lowlands now having calling them home for almost five months. The Rye second hasn't traveled to any other part of the Lore since then. Winter was the prominent deter to her traveling anywhere, but now that the weather seemed to be warming up, perhaps she could go on a scouting trip. Experience more of what the Lore offered. 

Still humming to herself, her mismatched eyes looked up towards the sky as she walked. Her mind wandering to the memories of her mother and father. As she looked back towards where she was walking, her eyes caught a shape rather close to her that didn't completely match with the crystal snow around her. Quickly she was able to decipher it was another wolf. Chuffing loudly, she stayed where she was until she could tell the other heard her. It wasn't safe to sleep like this with the possibility of a wolf intent on harming others loose and on the run.

Thanks Arya! I'm glad to see that you're back too! Adelayde is gorgeous by the way :D Rory is still quiet and nervous :/
Oh, and thanks guys for fixing my table bug x.x
@Adelayde

Warmth had begun to grow inside of her, it was a uncomfortable feeling that made her shuffle in her sleep as unbeknownst to her rising temperatures had begun the work of melting the snow around her. She startled in her sleep, and the jump caused her to rouse awake groggily with blurred vision searching the area around her. A new scent entered her nose, it was strong of pack wolf and the young woman, after having unfolded her lengthy limbs, brought them close to her chest in what resembled a subordinate bow. Though she was unaware of Adelayde's abilities, the fact that she carried with her a scent of others, she had strength in sheer numbers that Rory did not, and this was what made her wish to appear smaller, less threatening, and disappear.

The other wolf did nothing at first, apparently they were just as startled as the young Thanne, and this made Rory hesitate at her spot a few moments longer ignoring the shivers  that were flowing down her spine despite the rising temperature.  Her pale coat blended with the backdrop but scent alone had probably given her position away--without swift moment, she glanced to the heavens as if seeking for some sort of guidance, or expecting her mind to eventually switch to flight mode. The awkward silence was enough to allow soft whines to escape her mouth, a plea for the stranger to spare her life long enough for her to flee without harm, at least that had been her initial goal.

Sorry for the wait!!! And thank you, I really am adoring her personality and looks for sure!

If it wasn't for the wind that brought the young girl's scent to her nostrils, she potentially may have never seen her. The girl blended perfectly in with the surrounding landscape and perhaps Adelayde would never had known she passed by the girl. As soon as she alerted the other of her presence, she could see the other cower under her company. Eyes softening, she hummed lightly as too try to soothe the girl. She was no harm to her, she had been merely passing through. Ears flattening as she looked over the stranger's body. The girl was a petite, skinny thing with her bones easily visible under her pale coat.

With a soft whine in return to the girl's sounds, Ade stepped closer to the girl keeping her posture low as well as to come off equal to the other. She needed to find the poor girl a meal or she feared she would parish within the harsh terrain of the lowlands. Eyes softening as she stepped closer, as to say she merely wanted to help and she meant no harm, she waited to see what the other thought of her presence now. Would the girl let her come closer or would she try to run off?

I'm not sure what to do x.x Rory is so weird! @Adelayde

She couldn't move, her limbs seemed glued at the spot and her only movements came from the shivers that flowed through her body and the occasional shake of her head as the woman continued to approach. She wasn't quite ready for her company, not this soon after returning to the Lore, but the woman misinterpreted her desire to be alone for pure fear and approached her with a caution that Rory hadn't seen in ages. The soft gaze Adelayde gave made her heart melt, and for a moment, she actually trusted the wolf standing in front of her. "Hi" her voice was hoarse when it came from her lips, her mouth dry from lack of water but otherwise she was fine. At least the last she checked she was.

She stood finally, shaking her pelt from the snowflakes that had accumulated but she remained at her spot and words no longer came from her, instead she waited for the woman to speak and wondered, rather briefly, what the woman was doing this far out during this time of the day.
