The Side kept to herself in the margins of Dahlia de Mai for several weeks. Upon first becoming an explorer of the neutral territories surrounding the Dahlian borders, Nayru announced during a pack meeting that much renovation and restoration needed to be done around the pack in regards to a storm that overtook the land back in the previous winter. Working diligently to clear the vineyards of weeds and assist with moving planks for the ruined docks and already eroded structures left behind by the human civilization, Dahlia de Mai was making progress on its own transformation. After striving to clear the vineyards in order to make way for the plants that would harvest the necessary ingredients for wine, Alae set off on this day to venture to Halifax in order to gather some stray empty bottles to add to the growing collection. Alae at least wanted the wine production to kick off before the summer was out, and she needed to work rigorous in order to do so.
Several empty wine bottles scavenged throughout the city were found. There was only a few to recover, for bottles were one of the human assets that were very fragile, and so had to be treated with care. Wrapping the bottles obtained by hare pelt she previously caught herself, the bottles lightly clinked together in her oversized leather satchel as her foraging decided to take its direction toward the sea. While the summers in Nova Scotia were not as hot as anything in the desert, it was still pleasant weather to enjoy a quick dip into the shallow areas of the sea. Her pace was casual as she approached the shoreline, suddenly happening upon a fiery headed individual gazing longingly toward the blue horizon of the sea. The smell of both the male's natural musk and the alcohol he was drinking hit her senses, as he was enjoying his version of a bottled "cocktail" in paradise. Seeing as how the quality of his scent reminded her slightly of Caspa, Alae remembered the interesting and kind Luperci and decided to approach him lightly. The bottles in her satchel continued to clink lightly, as she halted a comfortable distance away from him, tail swaying from behind. "Afternoon. Mind if I ask, did you make your alcohol yourself, or was it found in Halifax?" Alae instantly asked right at the start. Hopefully her icebreaker didn't sound too demanding in itself.
