hello again! ... i was wondering if the info in his profile up-to-date?

From the moment at which she woke, Anu found that her mind was consumed by many different things. She first watered the plant inside the Manor, and then she ventured to the garden. The few fruit trees she owned were heavy with apples and Anu gathered baskets full each day. But now her found the use of her four legged form and left the pack's center and roamed to the outskirts of her home. Noontime was approaching, the Sun high in the light cerulean air and leaving a small shadow below her small paws.

The slight wolfess traveled over the well worn path that made the boarder with ease, her nose working more then any other sense. Black nostrils picked up the changes, hunted the things that just didn't belong. It did not take much time for Anu to find something that was out of place. The fur of her spine bristled, the scent of a stranger making her uneasy. Blue eyes did not have to hunt for very long until they found the origin. He was within the pack lands, barely but still too far for her comfort. She postured her position, tail, head and ear high that spoke of her leadership rank. And you are? The fey asked as she approached him wearily. He was no pack wolf, and a rogue could be dangerous.

ok just wanted to check xD , and is he shifted?

He was certainly something to look at, and it made the Lt. General weary. A large male, masked and trespassing was not something that Anu, nor many pack leaders, appreciated. He turned as she spoke, and Anu watched him with a noticeably surprised look. When he spoke she fought to understand him, and struggled to figure out what exactly he was. Silence overcame her, and the Dreamer studied him.

"What?" Anu questioned, her calm and collective nature struggling to stay intact. The gray and sand female took a few tentative steps around him, blue eyes never leaving his form. His posture and nature did not seem threatening, but it was hard to look away from the creation that was his face and forget the different language that he spoke.

ohnoo... anu isnt shifted and cant read >< lol

Maybe she wasn't looking hard enough to find the unsaid answers. Not all could communicate the way she was used to. Could there had been a time when their was no language? Maybe before the time of the Luperci, and before the destruction of the humans. They they spoke through their bodies and through the primal sounds and scents. She did not understand him, or know what kept him from speaking to her. Anu stepped back, and searched for the answers.

He was a loner, seemingly stranded in a place unfamiliar. His stance was neutral and excited, and non threatening. When he eagerly approached her Anu was taken aback and yet she felt no fear. She looked at the thing around his neck, a small pendant that held something that might just give her the answer to the numerous questions that she had. But the blue eyes fey could only look at him. The leaders stood her ground, her tail high to tell him her space was something that she demanded. Looking at his face, the oddity that it was Anu spoke. "Are you lost?" She questioned, speaking slowly so that he could understand. "This is Crimson Dreams, I'm Anu." She explained, still looking at his face and wondering what it was that made communication so hard.

Oh, she thought. Finally that she was concentrating and focusing on his makes face Anu could make a guess at what was wrong with him. She frowned. And sat back on her haunches. Still he pointed to the thing around his neck and still Anu did not know what she could do about it with no fingers and thumbs. He couldn't hear her, that was obvious now. His speech was impaired because he could not hear the words that he spoke, and the way he looked at her mouth instead of her eyes when she talked. Resting uneasily on her paws the small wolfess spoke once more.
"You need to open it yourself." She voice loud and slow, she spoke with her lips more then her tongue. What was inside was another mystery, but at least Anu had found the answer to one of the many questions.

"You can't hear me?" she asked and declared.

Anu had never encountered another wolf with such a disability, for she was sure that he could not hear her at all. Never would she expect another to shift in her presence, it was a private thing for the female, and not something that took the effort she might extend for a blink of her eye. It could be painful if done on a whim and in haste. Anu would rather not feel such pain for a beast she did not know or understand.

But she looked with sorrow in her eyes for she had to tell him that she could not read his small note. "I don't, I'm sorry." She wore a frown at the thought. It had not been her intention to greet his beast and then not be able to help him at all. But still Anu wanted to understand him further. She wondered if he was looking for family in the 'Souls region, or if it was a place to stay that he sought. "Do you know someone here? Family?" She asked, sure that he could answer her with a nod, or shake of his head.

calling someone who can read in...

Blue eyes looked down at the broken locket that held his little letter. She frowned at it, unsure what she was to do with the stranger in her home lands. Looking back at him Anu tried once more to figure out what sort of beast he was. The mask he wore, the way he spoke and the obvious hearing impairment made the need to know what the note said even more dire. Ears turned backwards, as she grew unsure, but when he told her that he was alone and that there was no one that he would looking for the leader could only figure that he need a place to stay. The pack was friendly and accepting, but Anu needed to trust the male and with no way of communicating with him she could not begin to build that relationship. "I'll get someone, she will be able to read that. Would you want to stay here?" She spoke the words slowly as she explained her next idea. She knew nothing else that would make it easier for the pair.

With a tip of her head the Lt. General called for her Commander. Savina would know what the words said, if they were in a language that she understood.

short and crappy, but wanted to get something up before homework eats me tomorrow ><;



The call for her made the woman groan. She did not want to see anyone right now and most certainly was not in the best humor to have to deal with someone she did not know. There was no helping it though, she was the Commander. She also knew that Anu wouldn't call her without needing her. The Italian wolf pushed herself up from the hay in the old barn. The place was unvisited most of the time and that made it the ideal hiding spot for her. Ever since her conversation with her brother she had been in misery, her mind and heart constantly assaulted. Just when she had thought she was finally getting away from all those problems this had come to drag her to new low.



Her trip was not made as quick as it could have been, she did not feel like running, but she made it to the borders in a timely manner nonetheless. Hollow emeralds took in the sight of her Lt. General and strange, very strange, male. Her face stayed neutral and ragged, unable to manage anything else, but her body took on the posture of her position. The sable fey walked over to her friend, looking at the other with suspicion. "Is something the matter?" she asked the older female quietly.

The timber wolfess was glad to see that it did not take Savina long to arrive. She was still so unsure how to managed the deaf male, and Anu wanted to know what the note said. Blue eyes looked at the male as he attempted to speak, and then back to the Commander. Savina would know what it said, and what to do to help the masked male. "He can not hear." Anu explained, feeling that it might help her understand the situation. Eyes then looked to the paper, "And you know I can't read." she said with a small, innocent smile. It wasn't something that she was proud of, though in a way it wasn't her fault.

The appearance of the strange male was disturbing. What was wrong with his face? Despite the unnerving outward look though there didn't seem to be anything hostile about him. Though when he shoved his arms out at her her leg lifted in the air, shoulder moving away from the unwanted advance. Something was not normal about this creature and it made the Commander wary. Anu spoke though and part of the problem became clear. He couldn't hear? That was so strange, she had never run across anyone with such a disability. Eyes looked back to the masked wolf and tentatively she reached out with her jaws and snatched the piece of paper out of his hands. It was a good thing that Kansas had taught her to read. Still the skill was new to her though and it took her a few moments to decipher the writing.



"It says, 'I deaf and mute I need a place to stay I cook good pay attention and take orders like army soldier I do what you ask.'" Savina looked back to Anu. "That's all well and good, but how are we to communicate with him?" That was the most pending problem. Curiously she looked back to the male. "Can you understand us?" she asked slowly.

They had been friends for quite some time, and Anu could read the uncertainty that radiated from Savina. The blue eyed woman could understand what might make her feel that way, by the sight of the newcomer. But, she could also look to the strange male and see that there was no true menacing intention in his disfigured form. He was different, and even if it was difficult to understand and communicate with him, he wasn't bad.

Ready to know what the note said, Anu watched Savi take it and speak the written words.
“I think he can read our lips.” She commented as she looked back to the masked male who seemed to be agreeing with all of what they had to say.
“Your Hoosk?” She spoke with a small smile, remembering that he tried to tell her something like that. He needed a place to stay, Anu figured. A safe haven, where no one could take advantage of his loss of hearing and his childlike mind.

Face turned back to Savi, “He needs a home.” She stated, still uncertain but not about that fact.

300+



When she looked at him he gave her an innocent smile. So innocent in fact it reminded her of a pup. She supposed that despite his rather startling appearance, that there was no malice in this wolf. It did a good job of easing her hesitance, but she still knew that trouble could come from it. There could be many problems of a full-grown wolf behaving as a pup and being as naive. Still though, could they really turn him away? Savina heaved a sigh. She really did not need someone who would need such attention, but she couldn't feel alright if she told him to go elsewhere. Her conscience wouldn't let her forget.



Almost as soon as Anu spoke the newcomer enthusiastically nodded his head it seemed that was indeed the case. He gesticulated some but the Commander couldn't understand what it meant. Had she been more adapt at reading perhaps she would have caught it, but it was still such a new skill to her that she couldn't make heads or tails of someone spelling out anything in the air. Her Lt. General shed light on his apparent name though, thankfully. "Hoosk? I am Savina." She took care to make sure each word was spoken slowly so that he would understand.



The fey looked at Anu and nodded your head. She didn't know if they were equipt for such a thing, but she guessed that they would find out. "I guess we'll give him one." She turned back to face the male. "This is Crimson Dreams. You can stay here. You are a Basic Officer. We are your leaders." Her face stayed neutral, not able to muster even the smallest of smiles. Now that this was settled she just wanted to head back into her seclusion. She didn't have the energy to stick around.
