On her way out of the Neverwinter Forest her nostrils caught another unfamiliar scent of a wolf. This smell was different from the one she had meet only a little while prior. This scent was from a male, which intreged the dark female Rouge. She liked males a bit more then females, they were always more fun to play with she thought to herself.
But she was still on a mission. To report back to Charon with information about the neiboring packs and to see if his realatives were in the area. But a little detour couldn't hurt. Especially if that detour ended up helping her. What's that saying. All work and no play... Better yet was work with play.
A tall dark male came into her view and a smile appeared on her face as he began to enter the forest. Still in her bold mood she came out from behind a tree saying to him. "Well isn't it just my lucky day to find someone like you out here. And just in time too." her voice wichedly playful.
Threw the trunks of the trees, Rouge could hear the echoing of foots steps in the distance. Her ears swiveled towards the forest and shortly after a young dark female emerged from them. All of her attention was on the male. She was tounge tied at first, swept up in the moment. So much so that she didn't even realize that Rouge had been there to begin with.
She reminded her of Rouge when she had been younger and on her own. Her scent was comprised of no others, giving Rouge the assumption that she was a lone wolf. Even more like how Rouge was when she was younger. At times she thought about going back to that life, feeling free to do whatever she chose. But she was in a pack now with things to do. Which was alittle more exciting then the everyday pattern of lone survival, but she still missed it at times.
The male greeted both of them but only truely responded to the younger females question. The three stood in somewhat of a triangle. All sharing similar coloration, an amusing coincidence. Looking over at the female first Rouge greeted her saying, "Hello there." a way of saying, yes I'm here, when she didn't see her at first. The then turned her attention towards the male, commenting on his answer. "Oh how I miss being a lone wolf sometimes. Meeting new people at every turn. So exciting." her voice no longer playful but neutral. She could also smell that he was most likely a lone wolf.
Her attention back to the other female she asked her the same question. "And what about you. Any plans for tonight?"
She turned her head to the other female. God, she was gorgeous. Even through Miyako's own beauty, she was hyper-aware of other women's appeal, and this one stood above others. Black pelt gleaming in the thin moonlight streaming through the trees, her blue eyes twin lights in the dark.
Feeling just a tiny bit self-conscious, she replied, "Nothing in particular. I was just on a hunt, and now I am exploring the forest." Lifting her nose and drawing in scent, she looked at the male. "You're alone," she told herself more than him, and then shifted her gaze to the female, "and you're a member of a pack. What are you doing out by yourself at night?"
She stepped forward, into the clearing, placing herself not quite directly, but slightly, in between the two. "My name is Miyako," she labeled herself, with a smirk. She looked back and forth between the two, trying to draw their names from their lips. "I've been looking for friends here. Acquaintances, even."
The other female, who would remain nameless of her own volition, gave Miyako an inexplicable uneasy feeling. It might have been her voice, which sounded more like a forest whisper of wind than something coming from a living being. Or the way those blue eyes surveyed her, so bright in the dim light. Not looking at Varick. Just at her.
Without even meaning to, she took a miniscule step back, receding a little into the brush. "Bad things happen at night," Miyako said. "My father turned into a demon when the sun set. Cursing, growling. In the daylight he was so different. He joked and laughed." When he was around for me to see it, at least, she added to herself wryly, heaving a rueful sigh.
She straightened, looking at the two again. "I don't know where I'm going," she continued, her voice mild. "I've been sort of all over the place." She cocked her head at the female. "Excuse me for asking, but if you don't like being with your pack, why don't you leave? I know family is important. . .but I don't know if the pain of losing them is worth the love in the first place," Miyako mused. "I don't know if I ever want to get attached to anyone again."
She turned her head to Varick. "Are you new here, too? Or have you been here for a while?"
She saw Rouge lift an eyebrow at her story of her father, and resisted a snort. It seemed incredulous to hear, detached from the story, but she hadn't known Hiroto. He--god, her mother, too--had been something else. Beyond words. Miyako saw that Varick was uncomfortable, as if looking for an escape from the conversation. "I'm from the north as well, Varick," she said with a smile. "North coast. Fuckin' cold."
Rouge explained her place with her pack, and she nodded slowly along with her voice, understanding now. It was like a job for her. Gave her a home, something to do. That, she could get on board with. "Okay, that makes sense," she responded amiably. "I've always thought scouting sounded pretty cool, though I'm more of a hunter myself. And I like taking care of kids, too." Miyako grinned at that last bit. She missed kids, tiring and messy and smelly as they sometimes could be.
With a wag of her tail, she nodded to both Rouge and Varick. "I'm going to take off, find somewhere to rest. I'll probably stay in this forest for a few more days, but I'm down to explore other regions as well." She gave Rouge a long look. "Where is your pack? I'd love to come visit sometime, see how it is." And then turned to Varick. "Hopefully I'll see you more if you decide to stay here in the forest."
Smiling slowly, she began to take steps back, though not turning until she heard their responses.
