Like a rolling stone (p. Matteo)

When he takes out his harmonica, he's playing the harmonica part from the Bob Dylan song, "Like A Rolling Stone"

The sun was beginning to rise up as it gave off a radiant light that shone beautifully through the trees. The air blew at a calm, steady pace past the cunning luperci's floppy ears. The cold began to get through his light coat of bristly hairs and stung his dry skin painfully. The dominant male looked down from where he was, his rust-colored, attentive gaze scanning the dew covered land below.

Mysterious released a sharp whistle down toward his donkey, Brutus, as the hooved animal began to slowly trot away. Seconds passed until the gray haired steed decided to obey his master and retreat back underneath the waving branches of the massive tree. The charming fellow stretched out his legs and yawned, with his hands behind his head.

Mysterious reached his numb hand into his small knapsack and pulled out his harmonica that had been passed down through his family for generations. He closed his eyes, since he remembered his tunes best that way, and blew out a catchy little song he had learned from his uncle.

Mysterious Does "Mysterious speaks." Mysterious thinks.

WC:000+ - Sorry for the wait. :/ Teo arrives on the scene with Camilla in tow, as per usual. xD

Please, big brother! I want to go exploring!

That was how it started. Camilla woke Teo up early in the morning, blabbering excitedly about leaving the caves for an adventure in the territory. At first, he'd mumbled a curse and rolled over for some more sleep, not ready to welcome the day yet. When she continued, he'd finally lost his patience and snapped at her. She'd turned into a crying pup and he'd lost his wits, sighing and eventually agreeing to take her outside. Her whimpers became yips of joy rather quickly, as she ran off to find Carissa to get ready to go.

Now they wandered, Teo limping ever-so-slightly in his optime form (his leg was still bothering him from his misadventure in AniWaya) and Camilla bouncing along beside him, stopping to sniff and ask questions every five steps. Matteo had been in a right sour mood since his rude wake-up call, but as Camilla became more and more curious about their home, he felt his temper leaving him. She was a lot like he'd been the first few weeks. Innocent. Curious. Ignorant to the dangers around her.

We're barely inside the territory anymore, Camilla. Teo warned as they stepped over the borders, into unclaimed lands. We can keep going if you want, but I want you right beside me if we do. On his shoulder, Carissa chirped her agreement.

Okay. The little tawny pup agreed, hugging up to Teo's side as instructed. I'm hot. Can we go swimming? Teo looked down at her, then smiled. With a 'sure, why not', they headed off to find a river or a stream. Teo had grown up loving the water, as long as it wasn't sea water. Camilla hadn't really done enough growing yet to say the same, but she loved swimming and fishing, so it didn't matter. As long as Teo said it was okay, she'd go with it.

It wasn't until Teo jerked to a halt that she stopped skipping along, yipping and retreating to his legs nervously. What? What is it? She asked from his shadow. He perked his ears. Music. Some sort of music nearby. The wind carried the scent of another luperci, along with... a donkey. Someone's nearby. We should head bac-

What's that? Camilla cut him off, suddenly five feet away and looking through a break in the grass and not ten feet from the stranger and his mount. The poor albino brother gritted his teeth and followed her, not looking impressed. It looks like a horse! Yipped Camilla, obviously intrigued by the donkey the stranger had with him. She was still heading towards it, not realizing the danger. In Italy, approaching strangers was all fine and good for the little Trovato, as long as an adult from her family was with her. Matteo was an adult. It made sense to her.

Camilla, get back here! Teo scolded, walking after her and wondering if she had a brain at all. He glanced over as he walked into view of the smaller male, tail flicking and ears back. He didn't really greet the guy, instead turning to call to Camilla again. Il tuo culo ripercorrere qui ora, piantagrane. He cursed at her, obviously starting to lose his cool again. Camilla jerked and looked back at him, as if suddenly realizing her wrongs. Slowly, she turned to walk back to his side, head low, murmuring an Italian apology.
