Strangeness and Charm

This is OOC text. Have fun with it.
 

She had earned much at the festival. Blankets and bits of clothing items made from colorful silks, strange trinkets and baubles that seemed unimportant to anybody but her, little gifts from admirers, and a mishmash of other such items. Some she carried in her old messenger style satchel with her today as she walked d'Arte, trying to clear her head. She had scarcely been in her homeland for the last month, so now she paced the borders slowly taking in the familiar sights and sounds. Breathing deeply, the scent of her pack's realm was like a balm to her soul.

She had missed this place. Coming back, she wondered for the briefest moment how she had spent so much time away at the festival? But her reasons all came flooding back with stark clarity a moment later. It was so easy to stay away because she had told herself she needed the time to think, to figure out what to do about the demon in their midst. She had served her pack while she was gone, trading books and Soraya's milk when she could... and something else, too... and most of the items she brought home were for them. But still, her time away wasn't purely for service of her pack. It may have been part cowardice. Have I lost my resolve? Perhaps the demon was winning, perhaps she could never make them see.


But one day, Willow will come and expose his lies. She just had to be patient and wait for that day. Willow... who looked so like Soul. Her heart tripped as her memory drummed up the image of the woman. Soul... so entrancing... she wished she were here now, but she had to be patient and wait for her, too. Soul knew where she was, and Orin had to believe that she would come to her.


A cool breeze rolled in and rustled her bright locks, and by the feel and the scent she knew she was near d'Arte's coast. Coming back to reality for a moment, her ears perked and she listened for the familiar sounds of the bay. It was still too far off to see from the point of the wooded borders, but d'Arte's coastal wonder was close.

OOC:

Jiva had been in and out of his pack since he joined, but as long as he did his duties he was free to go whereever he pleased, as long as he didn’t cause any trouble in the name of New Dawn. He was glad that his travels to Halifax and after had not spread around for wolves didn’t really partake in the drink humans had made long ago that twisted their minds and made them think strange things. Jiva had his first taste of alcohol and though he liked it, he doubted he would drink it much, especially how heavily he and Arthur drank that night. Wanting to find the other man who was from d’arte, and remembering that his aunt also lived there, that was where he made his way to.

Jiva had kept away from Salsola and inferni going through the mountain trails close to Anathema before heading towards Cercatori, he had gotten lost, in which brought him to the bay. He cursed himself but he knew that Cercatori was close to the bay so he continued on. His curled tail was high and he was excited. He was thinking of both visiting Arthur and his aunt Orin, to see how he fared after their meeting for he had left after passing out. Orin, because she was his aunt and his father would kill him if he didn’t check up on her if he were near. So once he closed in on the borders he slowed himself a bit and let out a now practiced howl, that would soon be one of a full grown wolf, but now it was still puppyish in sound, yet still regal enough to be called a howl. It was a call to anyone close, but mostly to his aunt or his friend who resided in the pack. It was a welcome song and he hoped it wouldn’t bring anyone with their hackles up.
