As she traveled deeper into the forest, she felt the tension begin to leave her body. It was almost as if she had been holding her breath and finally felt relaxed enough to let it out. Her long leg muscles eased and her stride became smoother, more languid. She rolled her shoulders, loosening them. She had been traveling for a long time, but only now did she feel relaxed enough to think of something other than running and trying to reach a specific destination. This forest, this wilderness, made her feel complete. It was something familier.
Pausing for a moment, she closed her green eyes and took another deep breath. She stopped mid-inhale. Someone was here! Slowly she opened her eyes and scanned the area. There! A very dark pelted male was stopped, looking at her. Her jaw dropped in a delighted grin. She had not seen another like herself for too long! Usually, one would be cautious is meeting a stranger, but Rhona had grown up in with a clan leader that welcomed any traveler and Rho herself had always been curious.
Her wide, gray and brown ears perked forward at the sound of his voice and she padded closer to this male as well, meeting his blue eyes with her green ones. "Well met, Jaden Ohanzee! I am Rhona Keerin and I have been sorely missing intelligent company." She spoke with a laugh, her voice rich and deep, though slightly hoarse from unuse. Suddenly a little self concious, Rhona quickly tried wiping off her dirty cheek with the back of her hand. Her sharp eyes took in the sight of a bow, arrows and a dagger that the male had on his person. She had never used such weapons; her clan being very traditional and living much the same as an uninfected wolfpack. There was much Rhona still had to learn about the world.
