ooc: Thanks for being patient with me! <3
The winter air was crisp and cool, her breath crystallizing in a soft cloud about her muzzle. The slender timber wolf was curled up on the frozen ground, nestled betwixt the exposed roots of a tree. Colibri was new to this pack and still dreadfully shy, feeling ashamed by her still-healing mutilation and her unorthodox reasons for joining. Would her new packmates think she got special privileges since she lived with the alphess? And what was she, a mistress, a lover, a mate? Anu had never really explained what she was looking for other than companionship. It didn't help that the couple had not spoken much since moving in with each other... Haku's attack seemed to have shaken Anu worse than Coli herself, since the light-furred werewolf had been distancing herself more and more. It made her very nervous, afraid that their short-lived happiness could have died along with the frost-strangled flowers. She had no idea how to rekindle their romance.
The wolf sighed, pulling her damp nose closer to the bandaged stub that had once been her tail. It still throbbed, although the bleeding had long ceased. She had actually been slinking out of the manor daily to practice regaining her balance... It was an awkward feeling for one who had been so graceful, to stumble when she ran or scrabble clumsily with every turn. She would grow accustomed to the missing appendage with time, but at the moment being a klutzy hunter just added to her feelings of inadequacy.
Her warm brown ears swiveled forward at the sound of a male's voice, a nonchalant announcement of his presence. The small lupus lifted her chin from the frost-rimed loam, silently peering to try and identify the jaunty stranger. She didn't know any of her packmates yet, and probably smelled of Dahlia herself, but it was a feeble effort to act like she belonged. Her sky-blue eyes caught movement some yards away, and she caught her breath with surprise. The lean build of a wolf with the golden pelt of a coyote, carrying that distinctive mountain scent that betrayed the clan... "...Jasper?"
