Let Me Introduce Myself (Niklaus and Open)

[Nymph]

It was simply a glorious day. The sun was out and the promise of spring was near. The normally cold temperatures were clawing their way up to something more tolerable for those who weren't built for colder climates.

The sun found a little white female trotting her way through the land in a easy going manner. The wolf named Nymph was a very small female with dark forest green eyes and pristine snow colored fur. She was of Arctic blood which was plainly seen by any who met her.

With a happy disposition, she practically floated her way through the land, skirting around the lake as she did so. Nymph was one who loved to explore. She was known for her intense curiosity and caring nature towards any creature she met. True, her tendency to bombard others with question could be a little taxing for someone she just met but that was just how she was: she needed to know.

A flock of birds took to the skies at her arrival, propelling their way with apparent ease and grace that made the little female stop and watch for a moment or two until they were out of sight, swallowed by the endless blue skies above.

A small smile found its way across her ivory features before she turned her attention to the lake itself. Perfectly content to stare off into space, she sat down and placed her fluffy tail over her daintily shaped paws and just gazed across the lake in content silence.

She wondered if she would meet any interesting characters this time around, she seemed a magnet for both the colorful and the tormented souls who walked this island. Not that she minded, of course, Nymph loved having someone to talk to. Briefly, she let her thoughts go to a darker place. A place were a large grey wolf's words tormented her mind ever since she heard them. Those words about one of her dearest friends.....

She shook her head, refusing to dwell on it. She came here to try and forget. She didn't wan to be dragged down that path, she needed to think things through.

    It had been a peaceful day for Niklaus. The sun lit his pelt making the rusted-silver shine. It warmed him all the way to his bones. His paws stretched out in front of his relaxed bodice that was sprawled out by the lakes edge slightly dipping a few toes into the water. It was perfect the air had a slight breeze and the sky was clear everything was quiet and for a moment he felt at ease.

    Months have passed since he had relaxed as much and for a brief moment nothing could go wrong. He felt at peace and it was as if the warmth of the sun was his mother comforting his every bad thought. His attention was quickly snatched by the sound of the birds just a few yards from him suddenly launching into the air. Niklaus looked into the blue sunlit sky watching them take off.

    He blinked his sparkling yellow eyes and looked in the direction the birds were originally at. He gasped at the sight of a pure white wolf. He had to think for a second if he was dreaming. He rose to his feet and slowly padded toward the stranger. He gave a slight bark to warn the stranger of his approach. Normally Klaus would never willingly encounter another but for some reason this wolf caught his curiosity.

    The wind gave a slight breeze and as he got closer he could smell this stranger was a female. That would explain his curiosity. He could see her so much better now. Her white figure sat before the lake her fluffy tail wrapped around her goddess like figure. He could tell she was kind from here and he ever so much wanted to meet her.

    When he came a few feet from the fae he dipped his head in respect and slowly let his lips part and gently spoke. “Hello, my name is Niklaus. May I say it is nice to see another today?” He was nervous and his voice was slightly shaky. Never before had he initiated contact with another and never was he so relaxed. Niklaus sat before her and waited for her words to grace is ears. It was time he learned this world was not always dark and evil.

The ivory femme was practically a statue as she lost herself in her own thoughts and watched the sun turn the lake before her into a bed of sparkling gems with dancing blues, greens and other brilliant hues. Absolutely captivating....

A quiet voice from a few feet away startled the little wolf, causing her to jump a little. Dark emerald eyes searched for the source and soon latched onto a male. He was larger than her but that certainly wasn't a surprise every wolf she knew was bigger than her. It was his appearance that was eye catching. A rusty silver that was broken by patches on black and intense yellow eyes. He had a pleasant face and obvious strength with in his form.

Nymph was fascinated with those who had colored pelts as she viewed her own held no luster for her, even though she had been complimented on it's brilliance before.

"Good day, sir." She smiled at the male in a friendly manner, she wasn't really one to be shy. "I am Nymph. It is quite lovely to meet another wolf." She noticed that she hadn't turned fully to look at him. To correct her stance so she would appear be more inviting for the newcomer, she stood her small frame erect and stepped towards the male named Niklaus. Leaving enough space between them for comfortable conversation but not so close it was awkward. In her experience with males, they liked personal space - she certainly wanted to respect that and not seem to be pushy or overbearing.

He seemed a little nervous. This raised a few questions in her mind but she managed to bite them down. That was a little personal to start off with, they have barely met.

"Are you from around here?" Her trademark inquisitiveness made itself known in no time. "I was born up in Canrus, as far north as you can go." She tilted her head with a smile as she waited for his reply.

    Green was suddenly all the brute could see all of a sudden. Her eyes dove into his soul and he voice gently caressed his ears. This was such an odd situation for Klaus. How was it that he has not tense one bit around this female. No wolf besides his mother could ever get him to fully relax and yet even this female calling him “sir” made him feel uneasy and it felt unnatural. Niklaus blinked and she was suddenly closer. He quickly adjusted his position sitting taller with his legs firmly under him.

    “Well Nymph, there is no reason to refer to me as “sir” I am sure I am not much older than you…..” Niklaus immediately noticed his flaw in that sentence and gave a silent snarl at himself. “Not that I am calling you old. You don’t look a day over three.” He rolled his yellow eyes and lowered his head. Klaus knew he was rambling and was just digging himself into a hole.

    It was all weird and not what could normally be expected of the brute. Klaus would never willingly approach a stranger and yet here he was stumbling over words to a strange fae he had only just meet. He looked up at her just in time to see her curiously tilt her head and give a captivating smile.

    “Yes I am from here. Where exactly I am unsure. I have been on my own for quite some time and it is refreshing to encounter a friendly woman such as yourself. Are you alone?” Niklaus had started to lay down all while keeping his eyes on Nymph. He had no intention to hurt her a wanted to show he was attempting to submit to her. The strong brute could easily use his body to overtake the small fae yet such things would never cross his mind.

    Klaus was always a protector and provider and never a fighter. His stomach gave a low grumble singling to his brain that it had been a short while since he had eaten. While every instinct in his mind compelled him to hunt and feed his body stay still and relaxed layer in front of Nymph hanging on her words.

She noted the frustration he apparently felt, seeing an error in his speech. It didn't bother her at all, of course, she wasn't one to take things personally. "It's alright. Don't worry, but I should add I am not three yet. I'll take it as I'm mature for my age." She smiled, she knew it was hard to guess ages and it was even harder if you tried to guess at the very beginning of a first meeting. "I turn three in about three months." Nymph was a quiet female whose voice wasn't much louder than most would whisper. Hopefully, he didn't have a problem conversing with her.

His next question as odd but seemingly innocent enough, "Yes. I travel by myself most of the time. Unless I run into a friend, then I choose to spend time with them of course." His posture changed from tall and straight to a submissive ground position. Following the relaxed atmosphere, she once again returned to a seated pose with her toes covered.

A rumbling sound caught her attention causing her heavily furred ears to cup forward, "Do you want something to eat? I could try and help. I must confess hunting is not my strong suit." She looked down at herself to support her statement, "Being my size makes hunting a challenge. I can fish though!" Her pride made itself known in her voice with that last comment, she worked long and hard to improve her skill.

She looked over at the lake, it had to be teeming with fish just waiting to be disturbed by two eager wolves.

But a tragic flashback tore through her mind instead of pleasant images of fishing. Her thoughts were full of images of Philkin, her long gone brother. The thought that this peaceful body of water was somehow connected to the raging force that stole him from her. Sweeping him away forever when it should have been her life cut short, but no, it chose her precious brother - her protector.

She shook her head to rid herself of the terrible memories. No reason to ruin this meeting with a tragedy of the past. Niklaus shouldn't be brought into it. She didn't even speak about it to her closest companions.

Looking back to the big male, she waited to see what his choice would be....if she didn't somehow miss it while her past fought with her present.

"Do you have any family around?" She hoped he had someone, it was such a sad thing to be alone in the world. Everyone she met so far was all alone and it caused her heart to ache. "I haven't seen my parents in so long. I love when there is someone to talk to."
