@Marble
Jasper was new to the Wilds having just arrived the other night. He now had no ties to the North, hence his Mother's death. Darting through the snow covered ground, he smiled. Knew place, Knew beginning. He was so caught up in the moment he hadn't noticed another nearby, another fox.
She had her nose stuck in the bushes. She pranced from bush to bush foraging for some early berries. They wouldn't be that ripe, but it was food regardless. She picked out the bitter smell of a bunch of bright green berries, and quickly scarfed them down. She pulled out her snout, licking her chops in disgust. They tasted utterly nasty, but they still made her hunger settle. Her eyes caught onto another light colored wolf. At first she thought it was Kesik, but noticed it was just another random fox. "Why hello! I'm Marble."
Jasper looked up to meet the eyes of a pretty female. The vixen, Marble, was the first fox he had seen since his arrival. Oh hello Marble, I'm Jasper, He smiled friendly. He didn't see her as a threat, she didn't seem to be hostile but friendly. He sat, wagging his tail happily, his stance open and friendly. "Are you the only fox here? I haven't seen any others"
She shook her head. "There are other foxes. Their not far from here either. One looks a bit like you, and the other is a red fox. They're very nice indeed." Her encounter with the two had been a pleasant one. They were very kind in her opinion. She would have stayed with them if it wasn't for her adventurous spirit. The girl turned her head and searched through the bushes a moment longer before turning again. "I was just searching for some early berries, but they are rather disgusting. Care to join me?" She didn't expect him to join. Most would want to hunt for meat, but she was a little weird. She loved to savor spring's giving's. She had learned to love berries.
Jasper grinned, How could I refuse to such a beautiful lass? , being the charmer he was. So, where are we looking? I havn't been in the Wilds for that long, I've not yet wandered the grounds, he said, He would have searched for food, but this meeting with the pretty vixen had made him forget about that. And he was pretty sure he would have found some berries by now, if he hadn't accidently started walking back in the opposite direction he was supposed to be going. Eh, what could he say? He could be a klutz sometimes. The vixen seemed to know her way around here, so he thought it was best to let her lead the way.
Me? Beautiful? She looked around, as if he was talking to someone else. But there was no one there. "Well, I was looking here. It seems to me there's a lot of life here, so there must be some berries." She jumped into the bushes, the twigs snagging at her fur. She didn't really mind though. It was the wild after all. 'Only the strongest survives' is what her father had always reminded her. But the only thing that ticked her off was having her fur molted. The stickiness was very annoying. She looked back at Jasper to see if he would join her.
Jasper smiled at the vixen and joined her, not paying mind to the countless twigs sticking him at the soft spots. He looked intently around for any sign of berries, his eyes squinting. His nose twitched, trying to find trace of the fruit. He didn't know exactly what he was doing, it seemed to him he was trying to impress the female. But for what reason? As pretty as she was, she probably already had a male back home. His luck with females never really turned out to be luck, but pure male instincts gone wrong. But he shook his head from those thoughts, now he just had to find some berries, whatever they looked or smelled like.
She continued poking around for fruit. She let out an amused laugh as she watched Jasper. "Have you ever searched for berries? I can teach you the best ways how!" She started to paw down any of the thick branches, making the tiny space more clear. She leaned over to study the surroundings. "There's a little trick I always like to use. Shake!" She grabbed some branches in her jaws and started to shake them enthusiastically. Tiny green fruits started to drop down and roll on the ground. She let go of the branches and hopped out, her amber gaze following the tumbling berries.
