Layla was on all fours, looking through the thick forest ground. The female was searching for plants to create the dyes she needed to keep up her ruse. She had been having a rather difficult time here. This seemed to not be the place to find the essentials that she needed. With a hard sigh, she leapt into another patch, determined on her search. The femme continued this pattern until her thoughts were interrupted by voices. The sounds weren't very far off, and now that she was paying attention to the scents around her, she could only assume it was the infamous Inferni she'd heard so much about, yet never seen.

Layla's curiousity and desire for good gossip had her crawling through the brush to get closer. Her large black ears perked up. Was that Jaden and Darkness? Layla's hidden tail raised in a happy greeting. It was silly because they couldn't even see her, but both males were fine wolves. Darkness was a bit more peculiar, but he hadn't harmed her as they shared her camp. It was nice to have company, even if he hadn't stuck around for long. Jaden was more world-savvy. He seemed like he had been through a lot and been a lot of places. Though she had her suspicions, she refused to acknowledge them. Jaden had shown her how to hunt better, which is quite a bit for a canine like Layla.

Shifting into her more presentable form, she stood proudly on her black bipedal legs. Using onyx hands, she brushed her white chest and belly clean of the debris she had been sifting through. She shook lose her curled black hair and walked into the clearing. She didn't venture close to the border, Layla could see the skulls of warning. Besides her friends, here was two coyote females. One looked more like a dog, but it was obvious where her alligiances lied. It was a strange thought to Layla, who is a dog herself, raised in a dog pack. Her pack taught that german breeds were superior to other breeds. Coyotes were all but large city rats back home. Yet their savage and noble ancestor, wolves, werent believed to exist anymore. How much life was contradicting out in the "wilds".

Lithe legs bend into a curtsy towards the strangers. "Good day, ladies," the seemingly wolfish fae said sweetly before turning to her friends. Layla raised a hand greeting of peace, nodding to Jaden and Darkness in turn. "Hello, friends. Why, this is almost a party!"
