ooc: Hello! ^^

It was a nice day - a bit chilly, perhaps, but a day worthy of mention in Skye's mind. She took in a big breath through her nose - the charcoal smell of winter flooded the canine's nose, as well as another scent. A wolf.

Skye opened her eyes, as they'd been closed, and saw through the thick trees that another wolf was on Cercatori d'Arte's territory. She wasn't very far in, which made Skye think that perhaps she didn't know she was trespassing. But then she began to dance.

Skye had never really been a dancer, preferring to listen to the music she'd heard and sit quietly. But this girl had another idea, it seemed - she danced and turned and twisted in a way that Skye never could, and Skye thought it was a beautiful scene indeed. She smiled; perhaps this wolf wanted to join the pack?

The issue of trespassing would have to be dealt with, but that would be after this wolf had told her her story. Skye stepped out of the trees in her Optime form, her auburn hair waving down her shoulders and her shirt and loose blue pants on her form. "Hello," she said. "I see you've, ah, danced your way into Cercatori d'Arte territory. She wanted to point out that this wolf was trespassing, but didn't want to frighten her off, as she only trespassed a few feet - she thought her subtle pointing out of the fact would be enough, perhaps. "And you're quite good at it too," she said, in reference to the girl's beautiful dancing. She cleared her throat and continued. "May I ask what you're doing here?"

ooc: :] just remember, if you're going to go into any other pack territories, howling at the borders is always best - some leaders would just go 'GRRRAWR' if you trespassed xDD

Skye didn't like to see other people uncomfortable, so she wagged her tail, although still assuming the authoritative form of a leader - or, at least, the co-leader. She smiled at the girl, glad that she wasn't trying to cause trouble by trespassing - and after all, it was only a few meters.

When the wolf introduced herself as Valinta and asked if there was room for her to do 'artsy stuff', Skye smiled once more. Valinta went on to mention that she wanted to join the pack, and hadn't meant to trespass. She didn't seem to be trying to make trouble, and was acting respectful, if not a bit timid. "I'm Skye Collins, the co-leader of Cercatori d'Arte," she said, making her introductions. "This is indeed a pack for seekers and creators of art, and we don't yet have any dancers. I believe you'd make a good addition to the pack, if you have a ready mind and are willing to learn." That much was true for any wolf; as long as they were ready to learn, they could always make a valuable addition to the pack. Her curiousity was piqued, however, and she asked another question; "Do you have any other skills that may be valuable to the pack?"

Winter was coming, and these things were always important. She was sure, however, that if she didn't, she would still make a good pack member. She was dark, for one, with a sandy underbelly - that would make for good camouflage in the deep, dark forests of Cercatori d'Arte. That would help for pack hunts, if she wanted to participate. And Skye knew she'd be able to find a teacher, perhaps from another pack, to help her further her dancing skills.

ooc: woohoo, welcome to cda! ^^ we can just fade to black after this and act as though skye gave her the tour. :3 you can also start posting right away in differen threads, and you'll get titled up in a bit.

Skye nodded and smiled, seeing how the girl could be good at hunting with her well hidden coat. And someone that could heal - that was very valuable indeed. Cercatori d'Arte hasn't had anyone that needed major healing yet, but it was always a good skill to have in a member. "Healing is very good," she said in approval. "We don't have anyone that can heal yet. If you'd like, you can pursue that as well as your dancing career, although you don't have to if you don't want to." She smiled at the girl once more, trying to make her feel as home as she possibly could.

"I guess I should say welcome to the pack!" she exclaimed, happy at the prospect of a new pack member that knew how to heal as well as their first dancer. She waved her tail in welcome. "Would you like a tour of the territory? It's not very large, but there are plenty of things to see."
