The title of this thread comes from this quote, by John Muir: "The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness." Absolutely anyone is welcome!
The coast that day was on the warmer side, and there were no clouds in the sky. The breeze helped with the heat a bit, but Ellie wanted shade, and she had always been drawn to forests, anyways. So it only made sense to plunge headlong into the lovely and rugged Ravensblood Forest, though she had no idea that's what it was called. The temperature dropped at least five degrees almost instantly, which was a nice change from the heat outside. Now that she was in a better mood, she decided to explore.
The small tawny she-wolf took her sweet time walking the almost imperceptible trails of the forest, not one to charge through such beauty. Though she could be quite abrasive at times, she did find herself calmer when surrounded by nature, especially the deep greens and browns of the pinewood she was currently in. She allowed the sounds and smells to overwhelm her, becoming lost in the sensory overload of it all, and became completely unaware of where she was going...

I enjoyed threading with Ellie the last time, hope you don't mind me joining again!
The silver wanderer was once again leaving the Creek to explore again, this time taking a new forest route to the sea. It seemed that he was drawn to the swirling salty waters of the ocean. The promise he'd made to himself to stay at the Creek had been kept, for a short while at least. That was better than nothing, wasn't it?
Though he did not like the suffocating canopies of the forest, it did help with the intense heat. Hopefully the breeze of the sea would cool him down, but for now the shades of this forest would have to do.
A gust of wind blew his way, bringing a scent towards him. A wolf, female and familiar though he could not pinpoint her in his memory, frowning slightly he continued forward. He would soon bash into her anyways.

Ellie, who was terrible at being a wolf, really, was completely oblivious to the fact that she was about to run into the silver male up ahead. If she hadn't decided to randomly stop and look around, the situation could have ended very differently. As it happened, she did stop, and looked around, and saw the male a few feet away. Instantly, instead of greeting him like a normal wolf, she squinted at him, -- quite obviously, too -- trying to figure out why he looked so familiar.
It took a second, and then it clicked, and she began to laugh, remembering that day at the river. After a good ten seconds of laughing, she shook her head, smiled, and said to him, "Hey, guy who woke me up. How're you? And sorry about that. I can be a real pain in the ass sometimes." She knew he might very well walk away after realizing who she was, so she figured in the time she had with him, she might as well apologize. Even if he didn't accept it.

"Hey, guy who woke me up. How're you? And sorry about that. I can be a real pain in the ass sometimes." he stared at her, eyes sparkling with amusement. You're apologizing huh? I thought that would never happen.
tail wagging slightly behind him as he talked.
So what brings you here to the forest?
he asked her in an attempt to start a small conversation. Hopefully she wouldn't start cursing like crazy because he would have to end it quite violently.

"Hopefully she wouldn't start cursing like crazy because he would have to end it quite violently." LOL. Oh, I see how it is, Mister. Also your table is GORGEOUS. O.O *pets pretty table*
Ellie smirked at the male's comment about him never thinking she'd apologize. It did seem fitting -- her never apologizing, that is. She wasn't known to be very nice to anyone. But every once in a while, she found it in her heart to show a bit of kindness. He was just lucky it was one of her good days, and that she'd actually had a pleasant sleep the night before.
"So what brings you here to the forest?" he asked, and she shrugged.
"It's hot out today," she said. "The forest is nice and cool. Plus I like forests. They calm me." After a pause, she added. "I'm Ellie. I'm a loner. Who're you?"

xD
The silver wanderer tilted his head when she mentioned that she liked forests and they calmed her. Wow. He never thought that would happen. He, himself loathed forests and their suffocating canopies.
You like forests, huh? That'll be a first. I, myself hate them. I always feel like I can't breathe when I'm in them.
he said, shrugging. I'm Shadow and I'm not a loner,
he said slowly, a smirk rising to his lips.

Sorry for the late reply! I've been having writer's block for the past few days... So sorry in advance if this post sucks.
Ellie suddenly felt excitement in her stomach, in the way of butterflies. So if this Shadow wasn't a loner, did that mean he was part of a pack? A pack she could, maybe, join? She swallowed, unsure. The last time she had tried to join a pack, she had nearly gotten herself killed (an incident that was entirely her fault, mind you, but that didn't make it any less terrifying and nerve-wracking to try again).
"So..." she began awkwardly, looking away from the silver wolf. "So are you part of a pack, or what?"
She didn't know how else to initiate the question that was posed delicately in her mind. One screw up and she'd be back to wandering without a purpose. She hoped her first meeting with Shadow wouldn't taint his response. She hoped she hadn't fucked up her chances before she had even begun.

Nah, its fine. :)
"So are you part of a pack, or what?" That question alone was enough to make the ashen male roll his eyes. If he wasn't a loner, then what was he? Well yeah? What else would I be if I wasn't a loner?
he rolled his eyes. Was she looking to join a pack? If she was, she might need to learn about respect.....
Why'd you ask?
he asked in return. Couldn't she smell the Creek and their wolves on him. He hadn't been traveling for that long that the Creek's scent would no longer be on him.
He waited for her reply, head tilting slightly to the left.

Hi! Sorry! I've got the fall semester of college now, so... I'll be really damn busy till... like, December, and my posts will probably be really slow and sucky.
Shadow instantly made her feel like an idiot, and she felt her ears go back against her head in embarrassment, which only made the embarrassment worse. "I..." she began, and then stopped. "Well, I guess it should have been obvious that you were part of a pack. Sorry."
She cleared her throat, feeling the heat in her face and trying to ignore it. "A-anyways... I was... I've been looking to join a pack for some time." She knew this was the crucial moment. She knew she needed to get her skills down quickly or he might lose interest or immediately shut her down. "I'm a good Caretaker for pups, if there are any. And... I could be -- I mean, I am a good Counselor." She nodded once, as if that might solidify her words more, and then looked awkwardly away from the silver wolf.
This was not going well.

"A-anyways... I was... I've been looking to join a pack for some time."
He knew where this was going, she wanted to join a pack and since he was here, she was probably going to try to join the Creek. "I'm a good Caretaker for pups, if there are any. And... I could be -- I mean, I am a good Counselor." They seemed to be so much good caretakers when the pups were leaving.
"Unfortunately for you, the family with pups will be leaving the Creek shortly as for Counselor. You will need to prove it for that trade is usually for older wolves with experience. Do you have any other skills?" he asked, he needed to know about all her skills before deciding if he should bring her to see Bazi or just tell her to go away right now.
Then another thought clicked in his head, she might be a worthy candidate for his own pack. If she pledged herself to him.... He smiled at her faintly. "However I am making my own pack and I like your fiery temper. What do you think?"
