the land here was quite different to what she'd first gotten of teekon to say at the least. summer had made itself a lot more at home down here than in the land's most northern point and she'd quite frequently stop to irritably shake her paw as blades of grass tickled at its pads, likely an overreaction due the crabiness being tired inevtibly tended to bring on. a good way to describe her current surroundings would be 'pleasant', not quite holding the beauty to the trechourous north but holding a safe calmness to it that she appreciated after so much time travelling these new unfamiliar lands. 

the night was aging quickly, the inky blackness starting to lighten to a dull navy- the twinkling stars overhead losing some of their intensity. she'd continue to move silently through the dewy grass, paws carrying her with a gentle grace that gave the pale fae an almost ghost-like appearance to anyone who may be watching. her ears were perked atop her head and alert for any signs of prey as although she wasn't necessarily hunting a meal wouldn't hurt. however the vegetation around her remained as silent and lifeless as ever and her nose would wrinkle slightly as the ground underpaw grew slightly wetter with a sponginess that didn't mean dew. she had been about to switch directions, having no interest in venturing into any sort of wetland when she froze- surprise gracing her features very briefly before it was pushed back down under features of cool indiffernce. 

whatever way the brute had been standing the shadows had cloacked him in a way that had managed to perfectly hide him from her and it seemed the breeze hadn't been on her side either, carrying his scent away rather than towards her so she'd failed to notice him until now. she'd mentally curse at herself, annoyed that she'd failed to notice him and even further pissed that due to the general flatness of the land around her there was no way he hadn't seen her a bit ago. nevertheless her expression remained as flat as ever- dark eyes cold and empty as she'd step closer towards him, tail tip twitching as she'd come to a stop a few lengths before him. she'd turn her head slightly- taking in the open sky he must've been watching. a wry smile would tug at the corners of her mouth as she'd simply murmur "stargazing?" her tone, although soft, was completely unreadable as her dark hazel gaze fixed itself on him quite intensely. he smelt quite strongly of other wolves so she guessed he must be from a pack. interesting.

she'd appear quite at ease, taking it as far as to lean back on her haunches and let her dark gaze fix itself rather keenly on the distant horizon. of course in reality her muscles were always slightly tensed beneath her thick pelt, ears and nose constantly twitching ever so slightly as her senses worked hard to pick up anything that may be a threat. it was a subconcious effort at this stage down to the relentless training of a soldier, alert even when at ease. she was of course also very aware of his gaze resting on her- her body instinctively prickling with the unease of being watched but chose not to acknowledge it as she continued to watch the sky lighten before her.

she'd blink as he spoke a small smile very briefly gracing her features as she'd simply let her eyes fall shut momentarily- inhaling the crisp predawn air slowly before letting it out sharply and shifting her attention back to her company as large rounded eyes became visible once again. he was much larger than her not that that was much of a surprise and as her gaze surveyed him openly she'd once again get the strange nagging sensation that perhaps something was not quite right with her. here stood a strong brute that she could easily recognize as attractive and yet nothing stirred within her, the aloof look in her gaze simply reflecting the lack of emotion she had to go on. 

"i'm new around here" she'd murmur simply, soft voice drifting through the cool air. not exactly an answer to his unspoken question of why she'd felt the need to approach him but it'd have to do because frankly it was all she had. she'd shift her position slightly on the damp grass and let her head tilt slightly to the side "you're from a pack?" the questioning statement left it open for him to either elaborate or not as although she'd appreciate any information she wasn't pushed enough to go badgering him about something he wasn't comfortable talking about. she'd stretch her front paws out slightly, body slipping fluidly into a stretch as her aching muscles cracked satisfying before she'd straighten back up. the mere peacefulness of her surroundings seemed to invite the dangerously tempting drowsiness to the corners of her mind and she'd struggle to push it away, hating the way it cloaked her senses in a kind of fog. she really had to find a way to get proper sleep without waking every few minutes or she was going to have a real problem
