Wild Rye Fields ring it in

visit from vk to wrf, so heads up to @Jessie and @Laike! neha is with her c:

Now that she'd done all she could for the packs in the South, it was high time they made their visit to their next-closest neighbor, the Fields, before any other messes cropped up and delayed her any further. Ensuring to give the Surge their distance, Nineva and @Neha stayed North of the Fjord, hugging the treeline of the lowlands as they made their way West. From the information garnered from Aytigin, the Keep queen dared to hope these wolves would be far more relaxed and friendly than their greedier counterparts south of the lake.

Of course if they ended up having a problem with them too, it would be the last straw that broke the camel's back and caused Nineva to simply never contact other packs, as they were so far proving to be far more a headache than they were worth.

When they reached the Fields it was midday, the sky a deep blue and the sun strong. She and her watchmen had both caught a small morsel the last day of the trip as an offering of goodwill. Nineva set her own catch, a big chunker of a whistlepig, and then tilted back her head to call out for the leaders of the pack.

Callers were always more welcomed than those pesky intruders. He cut through the territory in order to get their in the most timely manner possible. It was easy to spot the two of them in such nice weather. Had it been rainier the larger female likely would have blended in with the skies.

His lifted tail and head gave away his position in the pack without question. Briefly he glanced between them before noticing the food they had brought with them. This was bound to be good. What brings you to Wild Rye Fields? He asked with a raised brow as fiery orange eyes stayed trained on the duo. He had no doubt that @Jessie or even @Adelayde would be quick on his trail -- unless they had had a bit too much adventure lately.

The call was easily heard through the golden fields as the Rye Second went for a quick drink along the creek during the unrelenting heat. Her first border patrol was completed early in the morning before the sun rose to it's highest strength, with this withering heat they've been having within the lowlands, it was uncomfortable to be out of the shade mid-day. However, she wasn't going to let visitors be left at the borders unattended to, especially with their recent experience with vermin both in the coyote and wolf species.

It seemed her husband was the first on the scene as her mismatched eyes glanced at their two female visitors as she grazed her shoulder against her husband's in a silent greeting. Glancing swiftly to meet his fiery gaze before turning back to their visitors with a gentle smile grazing her lips once she was able to discover these two weren't the pesky loners they were unfortunately getting used to. Instead they were clearly from another pack, but one that was unfamiliar to the beta.

Ever since Drestig's death, Wild Rye Fields seemed to be getting all the more popular. From trespassers to the endless amount of visitors - strangers and allies alike - the Rye team seemed to not be able to grab a break. When an unfamiliar call sounded from her borders, Jessie let out a tired sigh, shutting her eyes tight before opening them again. The Rye Queen forced herself to her paws, stretching before making her way towards the borders. She was not surprised to see that Laike and Adelayde arrived before her. Just as every time Jessie saw the couple together, she felt an ache in her chest. The woman was quick to shove it down, swallowing hard before stepping forward. The monochrome woman's tail swayed high above her back, standing on the other side of Laike. Emerald eyes looked at their two newcomers before falling to the food offerings brought to them. They want something. The woman's lips pressed into a thin line and raised to meet the strangers. She would not be manipulated into helping strangers but would be willing to listen to what the women had to say.

It was with a small knot in her stomach, that Neha made the journey alongside Nineva. Their destination; Wild Rye Fields. A pack located in the north, making their home on the plains. She had only ever been to the region once, and even then, her stay was brief. She watched out for any sign of Surge or Edge wolves on the way, and especially coyotes who might be shadowing their every movement. Though, the vermin were the least of her concerns. Vigils Keep had not gotten off to a friendly start with either Driftwood or Shallows Edge. Hopefully this third neighbor of theirs would prove to be more accepting of the new pack.

During their pit stop, the pale agouti woman had caught a rabbit, plump from feasting on the abundance of fresh grass and roots. A gift alongside Nineva's, of good intention. She was not here as a diplomat or bodyguard, but as a sound representative of the pack. Her silver matriarch was a childhood friend after all, and Neha's support would remain unwavering. As her leader called for the alpha pair, she set down her catch, settling herself into a neutral posture. Her brown eyes were emotionless, but not harsh. Adding any touch of warmth to her face, would be a challenge to say the least. She was not the wolf she once was. Soon, Nineva's call was answered by not one, but three wolves. One boasting a pale coat and dominant posture, the second tawny and dual eyed, with a sweet smile to boot. And the third, salt and pepper in coloration, but boasting a more serious demeanor. Saying nothing, Neha inched her head down respectively, allowing her alphess to take the lead.

Neha can often be found close to Aleister's side and therefore may appear in any of his threads.

A duo was quick to arrive, male and female. Nineva was swift to assume that this was the leading pair, most likely mated or otherwise related. When a third appeared on the scene, however, commanding and stoic in her demeanor, the Hervok swiftly threw away her guesses. Until it was made clear how the ranks of this pack were situated, she would treat the three wolves before her with equal attention and respect. It wasn't so difficult anyways; she was at their door, and so they were each owed courtesy.

With their gifts deposited and the invitation to speak given, Nineva's black lips parted, voice pleasant as she introduced herself and her company.

"I am Nineva Hervok, and this is my scout, Neha. We hail from Vigils Keep, newly formed at the edge of the redwoods and the lake. I am the sole leader of the pack, here to inform you of our presence and open communication. It's good to know your neighbors, no?"

sorry about the wait guys! @Laike @Adelayde @Jessie @Neha

He did not cease his brow from raising at her words. On the edge of the redwoods and the lake? Hadn't his wife informed them of Hearthwood's move to the lake? It already did not sit well with him that a new pack would settle near their neighbors so closely but he was willing to offer the monochrome leader the benefit of the doubt. For now.

Indeed it is. He replied at first. So I take it you've made yourself known with our fellow lake neighbors too then? They must be a lot closer than we are. It was a harmless question really but their answer would certainly sway his own feelings on what kind of pack they might be. Being ran by a sole leader was already questionable enough but then again, Laike had always been a bit traditional.

As quickly as the Artemieva pair arrived, their stoic leader was never far behind them as Jessie settled on her husband's opposite side. Mismatched eyes returned to the visiting pair, her voice silent this time as she waited for an introduction. Once their gifts were deposited, the monochrome female began to speak, her voice calm and pleasant. Interesting to know of the newly formed pack that sounded to have settled close to both of their allies in the east as well as the fact this Nineva was a sole leader.

Adelayde was raised traditionally, a male and female always led. Though normally mated, there were sometimes exceptions. Like the Rye, who lost their founding leader and forced another to take the responsibility. Laike rose up gloriously to the challenge, but Ade could never challenge the Rye's rightful Queen of her rank until she deemed it time for her succession. Jessie would led her pack until she could no longer, only then would Adelayde dream of leading a pack.

Laike's question as certainly one that the sunflower had as well, her gaze interested to see what the answer would be.

The woman remained still, eyes focusing on the woman in front of them that took the lead. Jessie's ears flicked forward at the name the stranger offered them. Jessie had become familiar enough with the Hervok name during her time in the Lore but this was the first time it had come up in quite some time. The location that these new wolves settled was one of the Rye Queen's least favorite of places. All it reminded her of was death, by her own paw and others. Only someone who had just joined the Fields would be ignorant to ignore how close the new pack was to one of their neighbors, however. Laike was quick to point it out and while Jessie was curious too, she wanted to know about the girl's relation to someone else as well. When the Tainn spoke, her voice was neutral, business-like, "We are Wild Rye Fields and I am Jessie Tainn. You said you're a Hervok. Any relation to Nina?" Jessie had never met the woman but Drestig had. During her time in Oak Tree Bend, the alliance with Secret Woodlands had been one that scouts constantly maintained. The monochrome woman had never heard of this Nineva Hervok, though.
