OOC: Sorry if I got some details of the territory wrong, I literally just spent ten minutes trying to be absolutely correct but whatever. xD


He'd gone from his homelands of Phoenix Valley to the neighboring land whose name he didn't know yet. It was an interesting change in scenery. Dmitri had come out today to try and scavenge for some items. Items he felt necessary for his further comfort here in these lands. And that would be... pants, possibly a shirt... and, you know, whatever else he could find that he'd think would be useful. Perhaps he could look for a backpack sort of thing so he can carry those things around with him instead of having to carry little, or walk around with an armful of different items that he'd keep dropping. Only to try and pick up and drop something else. What a painful cycle. He didn't want to do that. Especially when he knew there'd probably be someone there. Watching him make a complete ass of himself.


Finally the male had come into the creepy forest of Ethereal Eclipse. Not that Dimi knew the name of this place. It felt a little better that it was only about mid-day. It was still considerably dark under the shelter of the trees, but here and there he spied sun rays beaming down from between branches and leaves and lighting up the ground in one uneven spot. It was pretty, he thought. He was far enough away from the pack border that no one could come along and yell at him for trespassing or being too close to their territory. Or, he hoped he was safe. He supposed they had every right to be protective and run him off, but he wasn't trying to cause any harm. He bit his lip as he peered further into the forest, tilting one ear back while keeping the other pinned forward.


Dimi knelt down on one knee and sniffed the air curiously. He'd heard rumors about these lands harboring some towns where he could no doubt find the things he wanted plus more. He lifted a hand to fiddle with the bandanna around his neck idly, trying to think of some way he could get to the towns if there really were ones there. But there was no way unless he was invited. And he couldn't just ask. What a predicament.

Welcome welcome! And don't worry too much about getting everything exactly right, it'd be boring if our muses were stuck within the rigid confines of absolute boundaries!! And yes I'm babbling. HURRR.

Bris was taking an enormous risk, and she knew it. It had been nearly a month since she'd pressed herself beyond Dahlia's borders once more. Fear had kept her prisoner; as lovely a prison as her chosen home was, it was still a prison. Bris knew for sure now, after the second attack by Hybrid, that the mottle-furred Infernian had to be stalking her. The first encounter could have been put off to random chance, but the way he toyed with her that second time, here in this very forest to the southwest of Dahlia, revealed that he was enjoying his little game. Hybrid's twisted sense of fun had a lasting effect on Bris, and she couldn't remember a morning in weeks that she hadn't awakened with the ghost of the monster still sharp in her mind.


Bris had never been foolish enough to be fearless, true fearlessness led to recklessness, but she'd never before felt the sharpness of fear that Hybrid brought out in her. Something about him just wasn't...right. He seemed more monster than wolf, like there was a supernatural air to him that made the woman's fear more potent, more paralyzing. With Conor's help, she was trying to overcome that terror, but it was a lengthy process. In that sense, the very fact that Bris was wandering around in Ethereal Eclipse was a huge milestone for her. From a distance, there was no way to tell that, as her body language was outwardly one of confidence and general alertness. Should anyone get close enough or manage to surprise her, however, the taut anxiety that lined her eyes would be apparent.


Thankfully, it was Bris who first spotted someone else in the woods, and not the stranger spotting her. This single fact put the woman squarely in control when it came to the kneeling male, giving the Stormbringer's confidence a note of truth as she decided to investigate. After all, she was still a Dahlian, and this stranger was close enough to her borders for Bris to interrupt him. Protecting her home was far more important than indulging the fear that desired to consume her. Bris was careful to swallow down her fear, forcing her confidence and manners back into place. Though they were still in neutral territory, the woman raised her chin and rolled her shoulders back slightly, as she was approaching as a guard rather than someone looking to make friends. Her tone was polite and friendly; it was altogether possible that this stranger carrying the scent of the Valley had a legitimate reason to be lingering just beyond Dahlia's boundaries. "Afternoon stranger. Is there something that Dahlia de Mai can help you with?" The woman paused a polite distance from the male, placing herself between him and the scent-marked border of her home. The ever-present brown leather satchel she carried was slung comfortably over her shoulder, the thick strap helping to cover the series of scars that peeked through the white fur of her right collarbone. There was no sign of the fear that had been plaguing her trip in the Eclipse. This Valley male was not Hybrid.
