As much as she disliked walking into the more human sect of the territory, she found a reason to do so this day with not a reluctant lumber but a spritely stride upon healthy umber stalks. She had received only a hint, just a little tease of joy promised by the smile upon the russet female's maw as she spoke of herself and her guard Asad. Perhaps the news in store was this, that the pair had found an abode for themselves within the human dwells. It was nothing something the golden she-wolf would take great pride in, but if this was another step in solidifying the pair's placement within Ichika, then she would welcome this new change with mirth and joyful airs.
The she-wolf brought with her a bouquet of sorts, a collection of wildflowers that blossomed with the coming of spring. They were sweetly fragrant with just a hint of astringency from their lively stems cut by careful claws. Delicate to the nose and so warming to the heart; a kind gift to the pair blessed by the ancestor's guiding light to each other. And followed closely under her shadow was the tiny Salvador doing his best to keep up with the woman's lengthy strides. Since his legs were strong enough to carry him, she was more keen to let him stretch his legs and test their limits for himself. While she had carried Sarian as a pup and spoiled the little darling rotten, she made the conscious effort not to do the same for the little boy. If he was to be strong and able as an Exultare, then she would do for him as her Shepard had done for her. But from time to time she found herself slowing her pace a little for the struggling pup to catch up and at times halted to let the little dear catch his breath. Eventually she really would have to carry him, but for now she observed him carefully as they carried on.
As X'yrin neared the asphalt road, she paused before her calloused pads could grace the crippled ground. Looking from left to right, she could not determine which direction she was meant to take to meet the pair. Perhaps she should have asked before they parted several days ago. How fortunate that while direction failed, a sound from a strong voice was easier to detect. Setting the blossoms at her paws she lifted her head and called out to her pack sister hoping her voice would carry to the expecting ears residing within the human-esque domain.
