The Weather Outside is Frightful

sorry for the delay! and could we backdate this to the 15th? ^^

Skye had her book and was walking over to Crimson Dreams, the home of Pixie Frost. What she was intending to do was teach Pixie to read some, and then learn to play guitar some, the same way that Pixie and her had done before in Cercatori d'Arte territory. That had gone well, and Pixie had learned a lot with reading and even a bit of writing. And Skye, in turn, had learned a lot as well - a lot of guitar! She learned how to pluck the strings properly (she had been doing it wrong, trying to fling them out too far and may have broken one if Pixie didn't correct her) and learned a chord or two.

The entire experience was very exciting for Skye, who was eager to do it again. However, pack issues had kept her to Cercatori d'Arte - but now that things were calming down a bit, everything was alright again. Her pack had stopped bustling with new gossip and bad things that had happened, such as vandals and scandals and who knows what else, and had calmed down and been better. She didn't bring Jack today - she wanted to go for a nice walk, and she wasn't sure that Jack would listen to her anyway.

She paused at the borders of the pack and wondered if she could just walk in or if she should howl first. Deciding that both Anu and Pixie had told her that it was alright to go in, she did, but not too far - she didn't want to cause any trouble. She waited there, uncertain - man, she was bad at this. She then took a few more steps, gaining in confidence - what was there to be afraid of? All she was doing was helping out a friend, anyway. "Hey, Pixie!" she called out to the sweet-smelling territory of Crimson Dreams. "Come out! I have stuff to tell you!" And she did. With the news of Cercatori d'Arte's newest drama and Bangle becoming her mate, she had a lot to tell her friend in Crimson Dreams.

Fine with me. Word Count: 428

Today she was feeling a little better. At least, she was trying to. After her outburst at Lorenzo that was caused by just a stupid prank, she decided that she was going to try to focus on other events that were going on besides the snow and ice. It wasn’t exactly easy for her, having to go outside just to make sure Magic was okay, but she was learning how to focus more on riding her horse and less on riding him through the snow. Her plan didn’t make much sense to her when she played it back in her mind, but she found herself feeling less stressed today, traveling on the stallion’s back through the meadows of the territory. The weather wasn’t so bad today, and she hadn’t had any sort of bizarre dreams last night. The result was that she was much less focused on the past and more on the future; she knew that Skye would be visiting soon. It had been a while since she and her friend had had their lessons together, and they had agreed at the last one that Skye would visit Crimson Dreams this time around instead of Pixie visiting Cercatori D’Arte.

She slowed the chestnut horse to a walk when she thought she heard the cream-furred female’s voice calling out to her. At first she thought she was just imagining, but then she spotted Skye not too far away, near the boundary lines of the territory. Waving back at her friend to show that she had seen her, she sent Magic into a trot and soon got close enough to see the markings on the book Skye had brought. Pixie halted her steed and dismounted, a grin on her face. “Good to see ya, Skye,” she greeted, briefly hugging her friend before stepping back and glancing at the book in her hands.

“Stuff to tell me?” she echoed, intrigued. “I like stuff! Not that I don’t like learning and all that, but what sort of stuff is going on in your pack?” Being a musician herself, she was always fascinated with what went on in the “pack of artists,” which seemed to have become the unofficial nickname for Cercatori D’Arte. She had once briefly imagined what sort of drama they could get into and had ended up conjuring up an image of two wolves fighting over a paint brush. She doubted that was the case, but even that sort of story would be good to listen to; anything that distracted her from the weather was good to listen to.

two wolves fighting over a paintbrush xD

Skye grinned as her light gray friend came into view, and she hugged her briefly. She grinned; it had been a while since she'd seen her friend, and she was glad to do it again. She smiled even broader as Pixie asked what kind of stuff was going on in Cercatori d'Arte; she liked stuff, and wanted to know what was going on? Oh, where to begin, where to begin...

"Well," she said, deciding to start with her good news, "I have a mate now!" She let a goofy grin fall on her face and allowed a few seconds for her friend to start to guess who her new mate could possibly be. She knew that Pixie knew Bangle, and finally, she couldn't take it anymore - "It's Bangle!" she said, then collapsed into a frenzy of giggles. Skye wasn't normally like this - usually, she was a lot calmer and less...girly. But the thought of her and Bangle being mates, finally, was just good for Skye to consider - she loved the crazy old trader, and couldn't wrap her mind around the idea of them finally being mates.

She then let her mind fall on more serious matters. "There was also a scandal," she said. "Someone did the nasty with someone else, and someone loved that someone, and it got out of hand..there was a fight! Thank goodness it didn't get too serious, though." She wasn't so sure about that, though - Orin had been pregnant during the fight, and Skye thought that Sky had been, too. She hoped that it hadn't brought any bad things to happen on the pups - if it had, there would be a certain rivalry between the girls that would never fully be healed.

She turned to the gray and white woman who was her friend and one of the first she met in Souls. "What about you?" she asked. "Any 'stuff' in your pack?"

LOL, it could happen. XD Word Count: 358

“You…you what?” stammered Pixie. A mate? Skye had a mate now? “Who is it?” When the answer came soon after, she could only grin stupidly for a moment in sheer happiness and disbelief, then laughed loudly and jumped for joy. “You and Bangle! Wow…that’s awesome, man! Congratulations!” She laughed even harder at Skye’s fit of giggles, and she spent a short while just laughing before taking a few deep breaths to calm herself. “Just, wow…I have to be honest, I didn’t see that coming. But I’ve never even seen you and Bangle together. So, how long have you been mates?” She hadn’t seen either of her two friends from the pack to the north in a few months, so she really had little idea how long they could be together. In any case, she was incredibly happy for the both of them.

However, she raised her eyebrow when the word “scandal” was mentioned. The rest of what Skye said about it sounded pretty ridiculous, and confusing. “So…the first someone slept with the second someone, and a third someone liked the first someone, and I’m guessing the second someone and the third someone got into a fight? Sounds like some tough drama. We didn’t have much going on here…’cept for a bear on the territory that got a few of us injured.” Pixie said the last part in a jokingly casual voice, even though she had to admit that the whole incident was frightening. It was a miracle that Jazper was still alive after the injuries he suffered.

But when her friend asked further on what was going on in Crimson Dreams, she grew serious and sighed. “I’ve also not been too happy about this weather. I have an…aversion to snow, I guess you would call it. When it’s on the ground like this, it’s more of an annoyance, but when it’s falling from the sky, especially when it’s not easy to see…I really don’t like it.” She didn’t wish to explain more; she mostly wanted to get her feelings about winter out, and Skye was one of the few people she trusted enough to speak about it to.
