OOC: Unless personally addressed, Xi'nuata will be as an observer. She might say something, but if either of you need to skip over her, please do!
Life in the Vale still required time to adjust, mainly when it came to resting within its borders. The tension of waiting for something to strange to strike in the night always left her on edge until she could hardly stand it any longer, and was made to rise in the early hour to walk off her wary.
Such habits hadn’t wholly died since admittance to the Vale, though rather than wander aimlessly about the lands, she took to the borders with purpose to see their scent retained and strong. It had been some time since she witnessed the roles of one within the pack, and could only assume that scent marking was a part of all duties. If it were not then surely an apology was in odor as she could not take back her scent from overlapping the strong earth’s fragrance. However, she continued as she was, walking the base of the looming mountain to the inner depths of the woodland haven, then out again toward familiar soil-
Til a song lonesome and heavy touched her ears, distracting the female from her dutiful course to investigate the call. Surely another could be along to greet this composer if not her, however the spell of inquisitive was too heavy to escape. She progressed through the mountain path toward the sound just as the echo receded into the many halls of the mountain. Her heavy steps so soundless and light against the stones that a falling rock carrier more an octave than her pace. An advantage for when she came upon the small gathering of two; the elder Tenzin and an unknown soul. Though the tan female was surprised to see its colorations on another. She could have sworn there was a striking resemblance to another of the Vale, a female if she was not mistaken.
Stepping down her the mountains, she came to stand nearest the pale wolf but was mindful of her place. Her stature was calm as was her tail and ears reflecting the epitome of docile disposition. Her countenance, an unwavering mask of neutrality as she observed the new male with a cautioner’s silence. |
