Thunder Dome plan a pretty picnic

I am editing this post due to Onyxia going inactive. The thread is now open for one new partner to replace Onyxia. Feel free to have your wolf already posted up in the cave and react to Rue's arrival.

Rue gasped and stiffened as the other wolf appeared out of the clouds. Since Elixir had told Rue about being attacked at random by a stranger in the shadows, Rue had been even jumpier than normal. 

After a beat, Rue recovered. It helped that the stranger was female, Rue was less suspicious of women. "I saw something promising when I was ascending. This way."  The young woman turned to lead her new companion. She hesitated to turn her back on the stranger for the briefest moment, but she steeled herself and pushed through her mistrust. Elixir would be proud of her. 

A short break in the wind allowed Rue to see well enough to lead her companion to a point where one edge of the path fell away in a steep slope. Rue peered over the edge, toes flexing in an attempt to grip the dirt on the path. It felt like the wind was trying to tug her over the edge. If Rue squinted through the clouds, she could see a darkened opening down below. "There," she pointed out, looking back up to see what the woman would think.  

She was gone.

Rue glanced around in concern. The first raindrops were begninning to soak through the fur on her back, and she knew that she wouldn't have time to seek out the stranger if she wanted to make it to the possible shelter before the storm. Rue barked a few times to direct the woman toward her location if she was lost in the fog. She then turned to carefully pick her way down to what looked to be a small cave. When Rue reached the opening-- which was only just large enough for a wolf to squeeze inside-- she poked her nose in to investigate.
