fire flashes in the sky

Luka had never been one to swoon mass amount of the fairer sex, nor even manage to catch ones eye. Luka figured it was because most females were looking for a protector or someone of equal status. Both required the male to be strong and powerful. This in a way made Luka gloomy. He wished he could be as strong as Scimitar, or as large as a bear but his genes did not allow that. He kept these wishes in his head, not daring to show anyone. Neither of which Luka was, because of this Luka kept sights on gaining new information about the world and tried to leave his dreams of a mate behind.  Neverwinter forest was not a woodland blooming with plants and fertile herbs, especially in the winter. The evergreens that filled the land also stunted the growth of many useful plants. This was a bit of a conundrum for Luka but he would manage. If needed he would just have to gaze out beyond the reaches of his packs territory to find what was necessary. Where the forest lacked in many healing herbs it made up for it with the moss the riddled the dark trunks. Moss was extremely useful in the world of healing, it could be used as a blood clot for wounds so deep the animal would bleed out. It could also be used as a water transport for animals to sick to take care of themselves. Bedding could also be made out of the useful substance called moss. Luka debated on also calling his first born moss because of the many wonders it performed. That is, if he were to find a mate.  When Luka barked and introduced himself he half expected the other male to act friendly towards him. When the inky male turned and flared his nostrils for a moment Luka thought otherwise. Luka wagged his tail to show he was just being friendly and not trying to cause trouble. The willowy male took note of the other males eyes, a golden color, as deep as the oceans reach. They were quite gorgeous to say the least. Luka dipped his head in reply as the male bid him the morning and stated his name. "Pleasure to meet you. What might you be doing on this fine winters morning?" Luka inquired meaning to only spark small talk.
