one fish, two fish - Wren Baines - November 27, 2020
She didn't know where she was going - but wasn't that wonderful in itself? Wrenly rarely had a plan about the future. A few tidbits here and there were all the thinking she needed and so far it had damn well worked. Why discard a sure thing until proven guilty? The woman would walk until her paws hurt, and when they did... they led her here.
A great lake of water. How ironic that it was called that in reality? So simple but so giving of life. Fish swam below the surface easily - she could see them from her position on land. A smirk crossed her lips; how long had it been since she was able to fish? Seemed like eons ever since she left her last location. There, the ocean cascaded against the rocky beaches...
And suddenly, she felt homesickness. Strange, since the place hadn't begun to feel like home until she tried to settle. But, that was a different story all together. Wrenly walked forward until her paws touched the cold water. She sighed, closing her eyes and let the autumn wind billow her fur. The snap of foliage and scent of new touched her nose. Someone was nearby.
She could smell them.
RE: one fish, two fish - Augustine - November 29, 2020
He had descended and left the Plateau behind, in search of newer ground. Some things he recognized from the tales of his father. Others, he did not. Funny, he thoughts, how the mind will conjure pictures for things it has only heard in words, and leave a heart disappointed or in greater awe when the reality of a place is uncovered.
Augustine had followed the river south and bounced a zigzag down the plains when pack scent had lifted from either side of him. He would investigate these later, certainly. But for the moment he simply wished to gain a better bearing of the land before he sought to engage the locals.
He had reached the lake by twilight. Flickers of the setting sun bounced off the vast surface of the expanse the river poured into. Admiration stole his breath; he peered out across the rippling waters, even as his eyes passed over the dark shape of another.
A soft smile stole his face, though he imagined he was still too far for them to see. "Hello," even the softness of his voice sounded too loud on the night, "doesn't the lake look like the sky has poured itself into it?"

A voice drifted soon after she scented them. Wren turned her head, looking over her shoulder at the dark coated man. She could make out in the dim light that he had a brown pelt with flickers of other hues. Even his eyes were brown. Strange, she was starting to think she'd only run into gray or white wolves. She didn't know why that was important - actually it wasn't. It was just good to see someone with a similiar coat. It made her feel less alone for some stupid reason.
"Yeah" she replies easily, glancing back and down at the liquid. She's seen enough water to know that the sky drowns in pools. But it'd be rude to say anything about that when he remarks it first. "it's nice to look at" a cracked sort of smile appears on her features "but it makes it harder to see the fish underneath." A ghost of a laugh escaped her, having wanted to fish for something to eat. Oh well. She could do with some company. Shuffling around, she faced the man properly.
