Tayui was finding that with living in a new land and inhabiting a new home, she was doing a lot of exploring. Although she supposed her examination of the land was bordering on fanatical, she did not want to miss anything or discover some disadvantage in the later days. At this point, she was unsure what such a disadvantage might be - a bubbling spring of toxic acid, or a wolf pack that already had claims on the lands nearby. So far, she had encountered neither scenario's, and was beginning to wonder if she should venture out a bit farther to further familiarize herself with her surroundings.
With this thought in mind, Tayui began to make her way to the borders of the newly claimed territory. She paused for a moment, testing the wind, only then noticing the scent of another wolf some ways south. She shifted into her Secui form, stretching her neck out once that was done. Shifting into her Secui form always seemed to make her neck and shoulders ache a little the first few minutes afterwards. Once she began to run, she almost always felt better, and the knots in her neck became less noticeable.
It took only ten minutes before she encountered the wolf, a large black male some distance away. She slowed her pace, approaching the male from his left side. "Hello," she said when she was near enough. She frowned as she caught a whiff of his scent once more, realizing then that he was indeed a familiar face. The first time, it simply had not registered, but she now knew with a degree of certainty that this dark male was Lucifer. "Lucifer, it's wonderful to see you!" She exclaimed as she moved closer, walking around so she was facing him. "How are you? Did you fare well in the fire?"
