ooc: Wheeee!
The nostrils of the great beast flared, the icy air billowing around her face as she exhaled. She tread through various plant-life, holding the familiar scents of the pack that was close by. It was the only pack she could even remotely feel home to, with her friends being the leaders. But Malachi wasn't all too sure if other members, whom she had yet to meet, would express the same welcoming gestures. She was still a loner, after all, but the large, furry female didn't want to live like that for much longer. 'Baby steps..' she said to herself, even physically taking smaller steps as she walked straight ahead.
As if mother nature had known what she was thinking, the path opened up for Mala and the sun shone through clearly, despite the cold. Malachi scented the wolves of Cercatori d'Arte even stronger now, and she blinked as that sliver of green shone through her eyes in the daylight. When she could see clearly, what Mala saw before her was more shocking than entering into pack territory. A vast array of human homes, everything built from wood to stone, surrounded her vision. Some were old and worn down, but others looked to be newer, as if someone had come in recently and made a living for themselves.
"Wow," was all that she could manage to breathe out. So Skye was right after all, these humans had built homes when they existed - it wasn't Luperci who invented them. Still, they were strange to her, and the shaggy creature only managed to take a few steps and look around. The female was far too awe-struck to really move. She did remember Shaw and Skye showing her around the territory a little while back, but she was more comfortable around the company of friends. Now, alone, she looked at these buildings in a new light. That was when she began to question if the wolves that belonged here preferred to use these once-human homes, and, though it was a fleeting thought, if she might find one big enough for her. 'No, don't be silly Mala. This isn't your home,' the beast would say to herself. 'You might have been welcomed here, but you certainly aren't part of it.
