Wolf RPG

Thyme had made his way out of that marsh. That way wasn't for him, so he decided to head in another direction. Spring was really starting to come out, and it caused for patches of grasses and ground to appear. It also caused for half melted snow which turned to icy patches. The male noticed a female ahead that seemed to make a stumble. He winced out loud at the smack. Poor gal.

Luckily she seemed to get up on her paws though. The male decided to approach her, a little cautious if embarrassment of the girl might not make her openminded to a stranger. He woofed to let her know he was close. He stopped at a respectful distance. "I hope you are alright?," he asked her. Tail low and relaxed, his body lean, perhaps a little on the skinnier side.

Thyme had to agree on that part. He didn't look at the fact that she might be taller or younger. He just saw the wolf make a smack and hoped they were alright. It seemed that they were. Thyme had the feeling she didn't like that he had seen her fail but he didn't think any less of her. Hunting was difficult.

"It does take time," he could only agree with a nod. He was the prime example, since he usually only had small meals. "I'm glad. I just wanted to make sure, I got a little healing experience so if I could help you I would have. But you look fine," he hummed. "I'm Thyme." Deciding to ignore her glance over his thinner frame. He knew with his life style he wouldn't pack much weight.

the man was — thoughtful. chani relaxed a little as he explained his interest, though she continued to openly speculate about him with her eyes as he spoke. when thyme gave his name, she straightened quite stiffly, unsure of whether she should do the same.
the girl had become quite insular in her development, preferring to stay at home rather than leave for most reasons. sans this one: wanting to be useful. "i be chani. an' i have no interest in plants," she teased, teasing his humour, "only fallin' an' needin' dem to be used on me."

"Nice to meet you, Chani." Thyme gave her a warm grin when the female had some humor. "I feel you, even though I am named after a plant," he chuckled. He found plants damn difficult as well, he knew the basics, scratched the basics really. But it was always nice to know a few plants when traveling alone. One didn't want to get injured. "Do you need some plants to be used on you?," he asked then with a chuckle, his tail wagging. He wanted to ask, just to be sure.

"what do thyme be doin'?" chani asked, genuinely interested in the plant's medical qualities as well as wanting to make another joke. "ha!" she coughed to his offer, flattered and intrigued but too proud to admit any soreness. "i t'ink not! but i would listen to how you became an herb-man, hm?"
she flicked her eyes over his pelt again, vaguely approving, and then set out to look for something else to hunt.

Thyme shot her a grin. "The plant or me?," he chuckled. "Thyme the wolf just be wandering," he admitted. "Thyme the plant... It can help with fighting infections. Probably not with falling down. Thyme the wolf might, but he can't help fighting," he shrugged lightheartedly. It seemed he had accepted that fate.

"My mother," he spoke, his tone a little softer but not discouraged. "She is from here, pretty sure. I do recognize those mountains," he spoke and pointed his muzzle towards the sunspire mountain range. "I used to live there with her." He realized that he didn't know if his mother was actually from those mountains but... she was probably not there anymore either.

thyme the wolf. thyme the plant. chani decided she liked that, but not the fact that he'd been separated from his mother. no judgement; she simply could not fathom being far from chacal, even as she wandered. sapphique would always be there. it would always be home. she could always come back, no matter how far she went.
and, in the manner of children, chacal felt immortal to her, all-seeing, invincible.
"do you ever miss her, thyme?" chani asked, scuffing at the ground; she felt the name was just right for the gentle man keeping company with her now.

Thyme was glad that the energy felt so relaxed and nice. He realized he had missed company. Chani was good company. The wolf's tail wagged happily over his hocks. He did inhale a little when she asked that question. "Yes, yes I do," he admitted to her honestly. "She was the best, or I remember her as such."

"I went to look for her, but the pack I was born into no longer exists on either location we used to live," he explained. He then lifted up his head a little, as if he was physically trying to cheer himself up. "But I know that if it is in the stars then I will see her again one day," he told Chani.
