Aeliana lets out a yawn as she trudged through the snow, following along the scent-border of the territory, refreshing if needed and keeping a vigilant eye out. She patrolled with the hope of seeing another wolf and convincing them to join Kamiki, they only need two more wolves to join and they’ll be an official pack… Well, three more…
Their new addition, from what she heard, wouldn't be here long, she was only here to find her apprentice and daughter then she would leave. Personally, she didn’t mind if she leaves, all she been doing since she got here, she has been avoiding them like they got the Sickness, not once stopping to talk, not even causal. But, she shouldn’t judge who someone is or how they act, they have their reasons and she would respect it.
Aeliana soon stopped and gave a scan of the area, looking upon the sea of white until out the corner of her eyes, she managed to catch the sight of rustic red, her head turned to see the older female sitting out in the open, seeming soaking in the little sunlight that would cast down like she was a flower. She watched quietly from a distance, for a moment thinking about moving along her patrol before letting out a sigh. It would be wrong not to introduce herself even if she would get a cold shoulder.
Snow crunched under her feet as she walked over to the older she-wolf, her head hung low slightly, in a sign of elderly respect, though despite that she was still a bit taller than the female, “Greetings, my name is Aeliana. What’s your name?”
soft footsteps sent her head shooting up. kuma spun around and looked up at a younger woman. she was large, rivaling even her stature. that didn’t happen often. it was hard to tell whether it was all muscle or fluff.
the question was answered with an annoyed grunt. avoiding everyone had been so easy for the past couple of days. why must she be disrupted now while she was trying to get a moment of peace? “it doesn’t matter,” she grumbled, laying her head on her paws, “now leave me be.”
Aeliana huffed slightly at the cold shoulder she was given before Aeliana huffed slightly at the cold shoulder she was given before speaking again, “Well, if we’re gonna be working together to find your apprentice and daughter, I would like to know even a little bit about who I’m helping.” She spoke as her tail flicked slightly. After all, Teekon is a very large piece of land, hundreds, thousands of miles long and wide, they could be anywhere - roaming some plain, hidden within a patch of forest, who knows but they’re out there somewhere, “At least tell me your name.”
badgering wolves were such bothers. “what does it matter to you? you know nothing of me.” from what she knew, this woman had no relation to poncle woods. strange to think one would just throw themselves out there for someone they barely knew. if it were her she wouldn’t even give the time of day. family always came first, not strangers.
“is it because that boy is forcing you to help?” she snorted. it was a miracle how that whelp managed to get anyone to follow him.
“Because you are of this group, and it is because you are of this group, I care. Packmates look after one another, protect, help and respect one another. That is what I’ve been taught.” Aeliana said before taking a seat a couple of feet away from the older she-wolf, “If you were just some random Outlander asking for help… I would have had no problem turning my tail to you...” She paused for a moment, “Sorry if that sounded abit...blunt and mean...”
She raised a brow when she asked if Issun told her to help, “No, he did not order me. I’m doing this of my own accord.”
