Foerign Territory

The morning air was exceptionally chilled as the young, fluffy creature padded along. He had been exploring the northern territory of 'Souls recently, and despite his love for the newfound Dampwoods, he had followed his intuition back to the South. He passed all prior areas and simply continued forward before picking up an unusual scent. He followed this scent to a sparse wood, which he eagerly slipped into to explore. He found his heart naturally was more welcoming of these types of areas, and he began to smile idly as he padded along. He found himself overall surprised with how much more he was liking these new Southern Regions even more than he had the Dampwoods.

Suddenly, he came to a full stop. The fur along his spine rose and prickled, and his maw opened in something similar to shock. He took in a deep sniff, looking around cautiously. Something was different here. He could smell other canines here, but not in the normal way. This land was marked. He had never encountered a true pack before, nor had he ever stumbled across marked territory. Little did he know, he had just wandered into the borders of the land belonging to the AniWaya tribe. His tail was no longer up against his back, and instead was tucked low to the ground by his hindlegs. He didn't know why, but something instinctual was telling him he should go no further. It felt, in some way, wrong. Due to his stubborn behavior, rather than backing off and heading back the way he came, he simply lowered his rump into the snow and stared.

He didn't like the anxious feeling in his gut, his ears lowering flat to his skull... He soon decided maybe if he pushed passed it, the feeling would dissipate. He couldn't bring himself to go in too much further, but he allowed himself to wander the borders of this strangely scented land. He was confused as to what it all meant- it smelt like canine, however it was not in a way he was accustomed to. It was all so new and strange. Usually it would have excited him, which is why he felt so confused by this turn of events. He finally got the nerve to step away from his current patch of woods in into the open field. He had to sit once more. "This is weird." He offered to himself. He should be excited to know others were around, especially due to his current lonely condition...

Saphrina ran across the grass and leaves happily she closed her eye and felt the wind in her fur. She jumped up and hit a tree.. "OUCH!" she squeaked. She opend her eye and looked around to see another wolf. She ran over to him diveing under him and nipping his leg playfuly wagging her tail "Hi! Im Saphrina!" she giggled. She got out of under him and brought her ears back.

She stood up on her two hind legs and licked his maw apoligeticly for running into him. She smiled, she thought he was very cute but was worried he would hurt her due to her past. She had a scar across her eye makeing it blind and mangled fur. She looked up at him waiting for a respond.

The wolfdog's ears twitched once, twice. He turned his head just in time to see the pup as she dove towards him. He gave a little startled hop in place, his fluffy coat poofing slightly from the shock. He relaxed almost immediately, however, and even smiled as he received a playful nip. She was just a little thing, she obviously meant no harm. He allowed her to lick at his muzzle, offering a friendly wag of his tail. "Saphrina." He repeated now. It was a habit of his- to repeat new words and names so as to commit them to memory. He could be rather scatterbrained, and he had received plenty of scoldings for messing up names and words in the past.

He dramatically plopped down onto his haunches. "I'm Zeb!" He offered now, quickly remembering that it was what you were to do when someone else gave you their name. "You okay? You ran into somethin', right? An' what're you doing, anyways?" That was what he heard, wasn't it? He wasn't too sure, but he figured he'd go with the assumption. She seemed to be the only other creature around. He had already forgotten all about the strange scents in the area due to his new companion. She would find no reason to fear this big oaf. He may not be the gentlest of creatures, but he would never intentionally hurt another- he was just a big child anyways.

Saphrina watched Zeb plop down and she giggled jumping up onto his side and twirling around once or twice before laying down "My Zeb" she said claiming him as hers. She giggled happily and then rememberd that she had a bump on her head. It throbbed now that she rememberd it "I hit my head chaseing leaves" she confessed.

"My mommy dont know im so far away from home" she said sadly. She sighed slightly and curled up on Zeb's warm side and smiled feeling like she was being drowned in fur. Her eye went wide and she giggled pretending to swim around in his fur. Her large paws threw her off balance and she tumbled to the floor hitting her head again. "Owie.." she said rubbing her paws on her head sadly. "That hurt" she said rubbing the now bigger bump on her head.

She let out a sad sigh and curled up next to Zeb shivering slightly "I'm cold" she said abesnt mindedly thinking Ralla would come and warm her up but being far away from home she was only going to get warm if Zeb tried. Saphrina let out a sneez and shook her fur letting it puff out just like his. Makeing them look almost like twins. She giggled happily and rubbed her fur against his makeing them stick together.

OOC: it's okay I honestly embrace posts of all sizes as long as they're not like one sentence, lol.

The young male's tail thumped happily behind him, for once curling back away from his spine to settle more near the floor. The young pup's energy fed his own youthful heart and gave him a spike of his own. He didn't even seem to mind being claimed, he just smiled broadly. He wasn't quite used to coming across such affection- many canines he met came towards him with hostility. He was pleased that recently he had been finding others to be more kind. He cocked his head to one side, ears twitching to and fro, "Yer mom?" He leaned to one side to scratch it his cheek with a hindpaw, "Where is your mom?" He had such a sheltered upbringing that he didn't quite understand how normal families worked. He had always been tucked away or by his mothers side as a pup. The concept of her being on her own without her mother just dawned on him and left his more simple mind somewhat confused.

"Careful..," he warned as he watched her topple all over herself, although he sure was one to talk. He still had scrapes on his muzzle and sand burns on his chin from his own escapades with clumsiness. "You're kinda clumsy, huh?" He offered, as usual tactlessly stating the obvious. As the girl revealed she was cold, he lowered himself further, laying all the way down and letting his long fluffy coat fall over her. He surely had enough warmth to share. His undercoat did a good job of keeping him snug. He had a brief moment of maturity then, gazing around at the woods. "Maybe I could walk with ya home." It seemed like the right thing to do, to walk this young creature home... Plus... It would of course be an adventure in unseen lands! So definitely a bonus. Plus, she seemed very active and nice. Maybe they could play on their way there!

Saphrina giggled as she saw him lay down her tail thumping on the floor. Saphrina shivered slightly and cuddled close to Zeb, she liked him alot. She even thought he was cute. She closed her good eye and let out a small yawn Im tired.. she confessed to her new friend. She pressed into the warmth that was Zebedee and smiled softly letting out another yawn Sleep now, walk later she said being to tired to walk anymore. She smiled softly at his kindness she listened to him talk to her My moms at home.. she said sadly I got lost while playin tag with my sister.. And i bumped into you. she said trying to seem older than she was. She blushed alittle when she looked up at him and smiled trying to keep her cool. She snuggled close to her 'new crush' and blushed slightly more Can we play tomarrow? she asked softly in a tired voice. She smiled and closed her eyes letting sleep claim her tired and cold small body. She shivered slightly pressing into Zeb more as she slept

OOC: sorry. :x I didn't notice you posted at first and then I had to deal with some sickness/irl drama.

The male finally seemed to notice the young girl was tired. "Oh. Okay." He paused, and then nodded as if to affirm his earlier agreement. he listened to her explanation curiously, his head remaining cocked to the side from earlier displaying his apt interest. He may not be the smartest, but he was a good listener and genuinely curious about others. "Oh...." He pondered on that for a moment, but couldn't truly relate. He had been an only pup and he would never have been able to stray so far away. He thought on how his mother would have responded. He wondered if her mother would be as worried as his would have been, but quickly allowed the idea to fade. He guessed that explanation made sense. He slowly laid his head down, realizing after so much wandering he was getting kind of tired.

"Sure, we can play tomorrow." He couldn't help but let a little excitement creep into his voice. He lived for play. His tail thumped once more behind him, before he gave some small stretches. He finally relaxed now, inching towards the pup slightly. He wasn't so good with social stuff, so he didn't seem to notice her feelings towards him- he did notice, however, that she was could. He moved his tail, curling it around her side so as to use it as a sort of blanket for the pup. He had plenty of fluff to share. Then finally he let out a long yawn and his brown eyes drifted to a slow close. As usual, sleep came very fast for the young male and he was lost to dreamland as well.
