Neverwinter Forest Who thinks of a world that is just make-believe

she'd been spending a lot of time around the flatlands and gbw when she wasn't carefully patrolling the borders at home. it wasn't necessarily her job to keep an eye on things outside of her woods, that was down to the scouts but as a defender of the forest she couldn't resist keeping an eye out for melonii activity around their favourite hangout spots. especially since a sneaky detour had her wandering close to their phantom hollow and discovering it was no longer inhabited. flicker must have warned them about her finding out their whereabouts just as she'd suspected would happen, it was infuriating to say at the least that after all her hard work to find them, they'd snuck off again. all she could hope was that it had drove them further from blackfeather, she had told flicker to do just that after all.

it was with a sigh she wandered quite aimlessly through the swaying grasses, paws moving with a swift ease and quite subconciously leading her in the direction of nearer forests. she wasn't looking for them really, she couldn't afford to leave the pack again and risk getting injured worse this time. her scuffle with the red bitch had left her with shallow but visible cuts, the one on her chest still parting her fur visibly. if she met more of them who knew what would happen and with maegi the way she was....nevertheless she could see no harm with 'passing closely by' any forests she'd be in close proximity to anyway. it was this that had her padding along the boundary of this particular forest- halting curiously at the scent she was quick to pick up. it was the distinct smell of an individual, but not the kind of scent one gathered from someone passing through. this someone wanted to be noticed, someone was setting up borders. arching a curious brow, the ghost would peer with a wary interest through the trees- not quite curious enough to let out a call but intrigued enough to seek movement before she'd move on.

just as she'd gathered herself up to leave once more, movement caught her attention and sure enough she'd focus in on a boy striding in her direction. she'd settle back on paws previously prepared to kick off and turn to face him as he reached the edge of the forest, the confidence in his stride did not go unnoticed- this was definitely the wolf planning on making this his home. she regards him curiously for a few moments, dark gaze wandering past and lingering momentarily on the gloom behind him. so was he the only one here? smelt like it, bold choice to try and claim a whole territory by yourself. it definitely heightened her interest but maybe he was just stupid, nevertheless she focuses back on the silver brute- meeting his bi-eyes calmly as he launches right into demanding her identity. a brow raises with detached amusement as she opens her jaws without protest and simply murmurs; "tundra". she could never understand why that was wolves go to question around here, did knowing her name benefit him anymore now? not likely. part of her wished to leave it there, just to prove how useless a question it was but she was curious and so to gain information it usually helped not to be too closed up yourself. "i come from blackfeather woods, not too far from here" she offers, continuing to regard him coolly. there's little to read in her dark eyes but she's careful to make sure that although she never drops his gaze it doesn't appear like a challenge either. that's the last thing she wants.

"anyway i've been around here quite a few times so i was just curious to realise these woods are now inhabited" despite not being the talkative sort there's still much more even she could've asked or said but that would do for the moment, just so she could get a feel for his personality if anything by seeing what he'd offer back without her having to ask. she just couldn't help but think of the melonii's threat and that maybe, maybe having some sort of alliances outside the pack wouldn't be the worst? it wasn't exactly in her top favourite things to do, socialising with wolves from other packs for the heck of it but she supposed it made sense. anyway if he turned out to be a complete nutjob she wasn't going to waste any more time hanging around here so for now she merely waited- large eyes not once straying from his frame.
