Blending In To Dissapear (open)

[Anima]

She moved quickly and swiftly into the pack's territory knowing she wouldn't be safe until she was far enough in. She had just managed to escape from her master and she knew he would be searching for her by now. Once she was in her own territory, she wouldn't have to worry as much because if he was seen anywhere near the lines he would certainly get the attention of her alpha and of Jadir and they would never let a wolf like him in. Once she managed to get into the cover of the forest, she slid to a stop behind one of the trees, panting heavily as she tried to calm her nerves. She had made it without him catching her but she hadn't thought to check and make sure no wolves had seen her quick entrance. If they had, then surely they would be able to tell that something was up and she may have put herself at risk of being found out. She wanted to look around and see if she had passed any of the others but she knew that would look even more suspicious so she kept her attention on herself. She shook herself off and straightened her posture, going from being extremely submissive to just submissive enough to pass as a subordinate. It felt good being able to blend into a pack one more and disappear from her master.

Once she calmed herself down enough she moved out from behind the tree and looked around, trying to find something to do. She wasn't hungry enough to go on a hunt and what she really wanted was someone to talk to who was a friend and on equal levels with her. She howled just loud enough to be heard by those nearby and waited to see if anyone would respond.

His time in the pack so far had been lonely. The male had pretty much been going around on his own, trying to avoid the other members. Sure, the alpha had accepted him and seemed kind enough, but he wasn't used to the wild and didn't know if every wolf would be the same. Because of this, whenever he heard someone coming near, he would duck behind a bush or under an overhang to avoid potential criticism for not knowing how to be a wolf. This wasn't how he wanted to keep living though. He was finding that he hated being alone and living in fear simply wasn't worth it.

This time, when he caught a flash of white and the thudding of paws against the ground. He tilted his head and followed. Whoever the wolf was, she was clearly anxious to get to this part of the territory. When she seemed to have calmed down, Khellus stepped out of his small hiding place in a bush and quietly cleared his throat after the female ended her quiet howl. He was trying his hardest not to scare the poor wolf any more than she already appeared to be.

"Uhm... hi." Khellus stuttered a little with his greeting. He was new to this whole thing, despite being here for a few months now. Who could blame him, though? His entire life had been spent in captivity with the same wolves who rarely left or were new. He had, in essence, forgotten how to greet someone he did not know. He shifted his lighter coloured paws and flicked his grey eyes around, clearly a bit uncomfortable with the current situation. "I heard you run by then heard your howl... so I figured I would come see what was up... I'm Khellus. I've been in the pack for a few months but... other than the alpha I haven't spoken to anyone yet..."

He babbled a bit, something he learned as a pup he did when nervous, but he couldn't help it. Nervousness caused diarrhea of the mouth for him.

She had safely made it back to her pack's land and slowly, as she caught her breath, the white wolf was able to relax. That was, until the other wolf appeared. She had so far been successful sneaking back and forth from master to pack, pet to subordinate, without being seen. But now, her luck had run out. She didn't know how much the other wolf had seen but she knew he saw her panicked state, even if it just a few seconds. Unfortunately, even a few seconds was enough to ruin everything she had been keeping a secret. If the other wolf asked too many questions, she didn't know how many lies she could come up with before accidentally spilling her secret. Or even if he didn't ask any questions but still told anyone else what he had seen, it wouldn't take long before others started asking questions. Either way, she was definitely worried.

Although inside, her mind was screaming, she showed nothing but delight on the outside. "It's a pleasure to meet you Khellus, I'm Anima, one of the subordinates," she spoke sweetly, bowing her head politely in greeting. Her mind continued to race with worry and fear but so far, no questions had been asked and she tried to convince herself that was a good sign but she knew their conversation was only just begining. "I haven't really spoken to any of the pack member's either, only Jadir and Audas and now you," she smiled again trying to keep herself calm. She tried desperately to think of a way to change the topic so that she could stop worrying so much. "Why don't we go explore the lands together? That's always more fun than being on your own." Even though it still left room for small talk which meant the possibility of questions, she figured she could keep the topics geared toward their surroundings and narrow the chances of random talk.

It was peaceful here, the little white female moved at an easy pace as she watched through curious emerald eyes at the world around her. There was so much to see! 


With most of here time since joining the pack had been spent roaming around, she was honestly surprised she hadn't met anyone to call a pack mate. Her mate had made a few companions and she was very happy about that but her thirst for learning all she could was unfulfilled without the association of others who called this place home. 


But then her thoughts were broken into as she heard a sweet call echo through the air. By the sounds of it, she deduced it was female and turned her paws into the direction of its origin. The calmness was replaced by eager anticipation as well as a touch of nervousness. She was a bit shy and as far as she knew Audas was not near to support her, ease her into a comfortable state as she met whomever sounded the call.


However, she would not pass this opportunity up! Soft paws found their way to where she heard the howl and soon the scents became stronger. Certainly female and coupled with that of a male. She hesitated, with the season being as it was perhaps the call was to find her mate and bring him to her for a private endeavor. Yet as she heard the voices, she drew the conclusion she was far off in her guess.


Her ears pricked at the name of her mate being mentioned and finally revealed herself. Her eyes drawn immediately to the snowy female as she never has seen another like herself since she left her home I search of her brother. Then she flickered her eyes to the dark male, a lovely contrast to the white of the femmes in his presence.


"Good day, I hope I'm not intruding but I heard the brief song you sang and was drawn to the sound. I am Nymph, gatherer to the pack and mate to Audas." She smiled at the female as she revealed the common link they shared, however light. "Forgive me, but I have not met anyone since coming here so I admit to feeling a little out of place."

Emerald eyes cast a little down as she knew her tendency to stare at others she meets. Fascinated by their colored pelts or eyes, she didn't want to start off on the wrong paw. However, she still threw a glance around to catch glimpses of them.
