This is an all welcome thread that takes place before this thread.


The water was cold as he flowed across her paws while she stood in the small rock pool. Nauja watched the small fish under it's surface as the darted around her feet. She did not move so as to not scare them.  The seagull had no intentions of catching the fish, they were much too small for a meal. For that moment it was just her and the fish, as it should be, she was the Fisher after all.

Nauja had taken a moment out from her journey back to the thicket to rest her feet and once she soaked then she planned to lie down.  The water soothed her feet but she wondered if it might sooth the other symptoms she'd been having.  Could the coolness of the water help the burning in her body? She would be amazed if it could but regardless of how she felt about the situation she waded further into the pool. The water came up to her belly and flowed through her pelt and for a moment she felt some of the relief she sought.  Nauja knew there was only one that could cure these symptoms and she couldn't wait to see him.

Salix Atea


The warmth was agreat relief from the endless cold that constantly tore at Salix's sanity. Hehad traveled from the North, coming down into the Lore in search of a pack. He didn't want to make a rash decision, so he was going to meet a few wolves andgather information before making a decision. Ambling along, the wolf's earsperk longingly at the sound of running water. Parting his jaws, his tongue lolls in desire for the cool, crisp refreshment. His tail sways as his pacepicks up a bit.
As he makes his way toward the water, a scent stings his nostrils. Another.It had been what seemed like forever. It wasn't excitement that prickled his flesh,it was caution. His icy eyes shift back in forth as he nears the water's edge.Where? A dark figure makes its way into his vision. She was standing in thewater further down to his right. Turning his head slowly, the man begins to ponderwhat to do.
If she was aggressive, he didn't want to startle her. At the same time, he didn't want her to feel as if she had seen him before he saw her. Raising a lip in slightannoyance, he lightly shakes his head before his face becomes stoic once more. Hereleases a gruff bark into the air toward her.

Having waded out into the water until it was up to her belly made her feel much better.  She knew of course her symptoms would only just return once she'd left the cool water but she chose to stay for awhile.  The seagull watched as the water swirled around her body as she stood enjoying the cool water.  She felt like it has been so long since she'd had the chance to just stop and spend some time in the water.  As always it wasn't the ocean but she had learned to make due with what she had.

Lost in her thoughts she hadn't noticed the paler wolf that had come upon her.  She didn't notice the way he seemed unsure of what to do and it wasn't until his gruff bark reached her ears did she lift her head from the water.  Nauja didn't move from where she waded in the water but she turned her head in his direction.  “Is there something I can help you with?” She asked trying to keep the slight irritation from her heat out of her voice.

The truth of the matter she wouldn't mind talking with him, perhaps he might have some information about where to find the ocean.  Vasu would love it if she had some tid bit to give him when she returned to the thicket.

Salix Atea


The female peered toward him and questioned him accordingly.
It wasn't exactly what he thought he'd hear, but he would likely have responded the
same way if it were him. Blinking slowly, he takes in a deep breath, mind slightly distorted
due to his hunger. He spoke of the first thing that came to mind- a typical Salix move. "Know
of any good prey spots?"
When he first spoke, his voice was harsh, and he had to clear
his throat. He swooped his head downward then back up quickly for a drink of water.
"Traveling hasn't been too kind to me this winter."

A feeling of serious exhaustion suddenly swept over his body at his words. He honestly didn't
stop for too long in his travels. He feared that if he did so for too long, he wouldn't get back
up. He looks down at his paws now, gazing at his reflection. Dead blue eyes peer back
at him. He felt depersonalized from himself. It was a rather uncomfortable feeling,
but he tried to ignore it to avoid insanity.

The man was unaware of the deer carcass nearby due to the wind carrying itself away from
the corpse. With luck, it would change. He needed the nourishment.

Having been so lost in her thoughts it seemed the male had come out of nowhere to greet her as she waded in the water.  Nauja couldn't say she was upset about it, a chance to talk to someone who might know more about where to find the ocean.  Though now she'd found Pip and Tyne she wasn't so sure she wanted to leave the lore anymore. She had missed her family while she'd been away and as much as she missed the ocean she wanted to be close to them. The ocean would always be a part of her but if they could settle down and be happy then maybe she could too. She had found Vasu and they had talked but she wanted to get back to him and see where they were. A lot could have changed in her absence and she was worried.

The man's question was met with a shake of her head, “I'm new around these parts of the lore.” She hadn't had time to really search for any prey since she'd come to this part of the forest.  The symptoms of her heat didn't have her thinking as she normally would. “The winter hasn't been easy on anyone but you look like you're doing alright for yourself.” She had been doing alright but it also helped her that she had decided to travel with Vasu.

“If you would like I could help you find something to eat?” She suggested, “That would be better than nothing?” She added as she moved through the water toward him.

Salix Atea


Salix carefully listens to the woman's responses and
feels himself automatically tense when she begins wading through the water toward him.
He mulls over the words again in his head. Finding food together would definitely be a good
idea, especially if they ran into an aggressive wolf or other creature. Salix shortly abandoned his
previous ways of enjoying solace once the woman spoke to him. He hadn't heard the voice of
another in quite some time. During his time alone, the gray-backed man had taken time to practice
speaking in the normal way most wolves he met seemed to do. He was tempted to speak in his
accent, but he didn't want to deter the woman.

Besides, it would be odd after speaking previously to suddenly switch how he typically did.
He clicked his tongue in his mouth as she neared. "Salix, by the way." It hurt to speak
normally. He agreed silently to himself that he would stop trying too hard once parting
ways with the woman. Turning in the water, he flicks his tail. "Better we work together."
When she was close, Salix had scrunched his nose a bit in response to her strong odor that
he didn't notice before. He had only smelled it a few times... what was it exactly? It was an
extreme overpowering of hormones. Gross.

Part of him wanted to stick his tongue out in disgust, but the man refrained from doing so.
Instead, he just nods to her before they set off on their search.

Food had been the last thing on her mind she she'd stepped into the water but as they spoke about prey and how kind winter had been her mind had gone there.  She made an offer to the male, two wolves were better than one and they could both benefit.  She started out of the water a short ways from where he was standing before she gave her body a shake to get the excess water off.  The cold air hitting her wet legs and belly also served to relieve some of the burning that had returned.  She then moved toward the male as he told her his name, “Nauja,” she replied offering a small smile.

It wouldn't be the first time she'd hunted with another and she didn't plan. For it to be the last.  The seagull just hoped they would be lucky enough to find something to satisfy both their hungers.  Salix was lucky she wasn't having one of her moods that seemed so unlike her, since meeting Vasu she'd had less periods of irritation.  It was nice to not be irritated all of the time because she missed her home a s couldn't get back.  “Yes, we will have better chances that way.”

Nauja led him off in a direction she hoped would provide some kind of prey for them to hunt.  Lucky for them they hadn't had to travel far before they ran into a set of rabbit tracks.  Nauja dipped her head to sniff at them, “It seems these are pretty fresh, do you fancy a little rabbit hunting?”

Salix paws after her as they slip back toward the forest and away from the water.
After a few minutes, the woman pauses, and she asks him if he would like to hunt rabbits.
He comes forward near her side, leaving a comfortable amount of space between them.
Lowering his nose, he sniffs at the tracks, but he finds it difficult to pick up a definite smell.
The odor from the woman was distracting him. It almost sickened him. His ears fold back
for a second before he looks to her "Sounds good to me." Salix snorts before shrugging
"Anythin'll do honestly."

He starts forward, long white legs dancing along the thawing ground as he brings his nose downward.
Now that he was ahead of the woman, the pungent scent wasn't blocking that of the rabbits'.
His tail swishes as he paces along steadily, not turning to see if Nauja was behind him. Eyes
quickly flicker to and fro as to not miss any possible movement among the cedars. His breath
is light as he watches something bracken colored shift near some dead brush several feet away.

Bringing his head up and turning it toward Nauja, he points sluggishly toward the movement with
his muzzle.

It always seemed to be rabbits that she was hunting with a partner or without, she supposed she couldn't be too picky this time of year.  With the prey so scarce she had to take what she could get so the find of the fresh tracks was a lucky find.  He came up next to her to sniff at the tracks as she watched him curious of what his opinion was on the tracks. “Then we’ll follow these and see if they turn anything up,” she stated. She was pretty confident they would come across the rabbit that made the tracks.

He took the lead as they started their search for their prey which Nauja didn't mind.  Nauja fell behind him keeping a short distance between them not wanting to fall behind.  With the hunt on her mind she had forgotten about the burning and itching that had been plaguing her. She scanned the landscape for any movement that would mean they'd caught up with the rabbit.

In her scanning she caught the little movement in the brush, her eyes immediately went to Salix.  He had seen it too as he pointed towards it with his muzzle. The seagull moved up beside him quietly, “How would you like to do this?” She asked him in a whisper.
