Never thought I'd get here

Because I have a bit of writers block, a short starter for either Raps or Shaw, or both? Whatever the first responder wants Tongue

Siku had only ever experienced one spring, and that was far in the Northwest. The snow did not completely melt until late June that far North. Siku enjoyed seeing everything grow and come to life in spring, one moment she was watching the snow melt and the next there were pussy willows and spruce trees growing leaves. Summer didn't last long at all in her memory. Two and a half months of warm bliss for Siku now nearly forgotten, the she-wolf had no idea what the weather would be like in Dahlia. After the snow storm, Siku expected more of what felt like cruel beatings from Mother Nature. She was actually a little worried after almost freezing, but it was becoming warmer outside. Siku could feel it, the biting wind was gone for good it seemed.
As the temperature rose to a pleasant chill in the air, Siku awoke to feel the suns rays actually warm her body and insulate her fur.

Most days were spent wandering around the town and surrounding land, but this day was reserved for something else, something special. Golden eyes shot open and fluttered as Siku adjusted to the sunlight hitting her lazy eyes, and the petite woman took a moment to shake her fur and come to full consciousness. At night, the young she-wolf would travel to hunt, and then creep back into town. Feeling foolish, as she knew she was a part of the pack now, Siku couldn't help but feel awkward in the strange town. She had seen human built structures many times, but never had she inhabited one. To build one like her friend Saul did seemed near impossible. Instead Siku liked to curl up in small, warm places. It was a little childish perhaps, but Siku felt safe when she was tucked into herself, nose under her leg. Never had she slept in Optime form.

Siku shook herself again before standing up, lazily stretching every limb. She then made a slow trot around in the snow, warming up her stiff legs as she got ready to change. Siku was going to go from four legs to two in order to the strange library. It was her mission for the day, her own goal. She'd only been there once before. After changing into her slimmer, 5"5 Optime form near the side of the library, the woman glanced around with a sheepish expression before ducking into the old building. "Spring is here soon.. I can tell!" Siku murmured to herself happily as she briskly retrieved a book, clutching it o her chest as she left the building with a soft sigh. Storing her loaned book in a strange old building was worrisome for Siku, and as she walked away from the library she did so with a smile. Graceful in her happy bliss, Siku ran her hands over the book with intrigue once again. It was a gift, a thick book of words Nayru had lent to the Arctic she-wolf. It was an Encyclopedia of plants that were right there in Dahlia, where Siku could watch them grow! It had information on so much, and the woman wanted to read every sentence at least twice. Why she was so fond of life and plants, she never bothered to question. It just happened along the way of exploring so much. Some old and some new experiments with different plants gave Siku the curiosity to keep learning.

Siku found a seemingly vacated house on the same road, and perched on the front step only a little hesitantly. Her pure white body curled in around her slightly worn book as she pushed through tabbed spots gently. Mentally thanking Nayru as she thumbed through pages, Siku settled with her elbow on her thigh and her hand supporting her neck as she leaned over the book with intense concentration. The woman seemed to put all her strength and will into one thing at a time, though focus was only truly found when it came to reading- As well as hunting of course.
