Wolf RPG

As per usual, and more so now that winter was seemingly waning, she had struck up a presence on the borderlands and sometimes even just beyond them. By the time a strange scent began to make its way to her, she had decided to steal a moment for a quick rest and a bit of lounging. Ame hadn't reached full-on relax by then, so lent her still-keened focus to seeing what she could find out from here.

She watched him from a rocky perch just at the edge of sight, and most likely, he was too busy with the unfamiliar scenery to notice her right away. She observed for a little while as he picked his way along, progress evidently slowed up, and soon, she rose to stand. After a good shake of her coat, she glided his way. The mountain under her feet was just as she knew it would be (a lifetime of mountaineering taught her) so she made quick, easy work of approaching the stranger who had come this far.

Tail lifting, she gave him a good, long, intent look to see what his answer to her presence would be.

The mountain did not have frequent visitors, and as of late, they were not often of notable quality. At least not the ones she saw: a male stuck in a hole because of his sizable girth, a female practically asking her for teeth around her neck and the death to follow.. just to name a few of the most recent ones. Which was certainly a correlation between why the Spire saw little growth this month. Needless to say, the fact that he was apparently of an able-body (despite the troubles the mountain gave him) put him ahead of the rest.. not that it took much.

Lowering her muzzle just some, she smirked. It would be far too obvious to say that she agreed. While perhaps not the most beautiful mountain, and who was she to say with her fondness of nearly all peaks, it ranked high. It is good you can appreciate the beauty, despite the.. ah, hindrances it has given you, she quipped lightly while she traced the points of his features with a curious look -- just to say she had seen some of his issues, but appreciated his determination to continue and see more despite the unknown. Only if your intentions are foul, she added next to his question, and paired it with a subtle darkening of her expression. What brings you?

Indeed, he had not earned her ire. His responses in accordance to her and her subtle nuances were noted, and appreciated in a way, then she listened. His plans were not specific, and she sensed that picking and prying deeper would not yield her much besides potential frustrations. She did not really need to know what had driven him to wander exactly, just so long as he did not pose a threat to the pack.

He spoke on about the mountain, prompting her for a nod. It does take time to learn its ways, she smirked, for it was a trial of the body and mind alike -- truthfully, not a challenge all were readied to face. Countless times she had seen wolves having to learn the hard way, or leave before they could adapt. Even she had needed time to adjust to the specific lay of the Spire. But, since it seemed to weed out the weak on its own by its mere nature, it just meant less work for her.

He asked of their numbers, and wrapped an interesting statement into the end. She, amused by his choice of words, squinted and flicked an ear. Compliments would only do so much. We are plenty, secured and stable here.. but ah, not exactly.. I think that the mountain intimidates more than it allures, for it does take a certain sort to conquer landscapes like these. This was a guess, though, and a thinking she had picked up in greeting strangers over recent months. When visitors were scarce and pitiful messes on her doorstep more common than anything, it seemed reasonable. And if it is more they seek, none have made that clear.. so who is to say, she straightened and almost chuffed a soft laugh; she remained without obvious suitors. Why do you ask? He did appear interested in the area, so she would see what else she could find out before making any conclusions.

Her ears twitched, and arrow-tipped, he went straight for the point. Amekaze nodded slowly. There is, she switched her tail up, for if he had any interest in becoming one of theirs, minding her was paramount. But, this was certainly not an unwelcome turn of conversation.

Then, with a more pointed look as he wrapped up his theatrics If you are a useful one. They could use new blood here, new ambitions, and new skills, so she was not in a place to turn down the eager. While not privy to all that much about him, he appreciated the view.. and seemed quick to tell her what she'd want to hear. So, she'd let this play out. What can I call you? she asked.

His name had a curious cadence to it, as it probably derived from a language she had no knowledge of, and she noted it as he spoke on about his willingness. She would be eager to see if he would hold to it.

I am Ame, she quipped. Then, she moved in closer to him. And, the Sunspire, she was sure to add, with a upward jerk of her muzzle. Both important introductions that would do him good. Learning the rest of it was up to him. Then show me, the dark alpha imparted, then aimed to nose into his short, russet fur on his neck -- the first bit of his acceptance here, to mark him as good on her watch. She wondered, briefly, what sort of reaction the rest of the Sunspire would have to him, but let it go as she turned away to make her way back up the mountainside with or without him.
