Just Walk Away {Kenai}

[Deleted]

Koder watched the creek as the water trickled past him. It was small, but the water was cold and refreshing and quenched his parch throat. Koder continued to lap up the water until his belly was full. There were a few live fish that swam across the creek, but it was sallow, so they were hardly big enough for a meal. Koder’s ears perched back as he inhaled slowly. He was beginning to tire of just wandering around aimlessly with no reason to be anywhere. He just went where his feet took him. He only stopped to sleep, eat, and drink. It was a simple life, but it was all that he did. He wasn’t always alone though. He once had company. It was just recently when he was with Rain. He pinned his ears back and shook his head. He couldn’t think about that anymore. It had been days since he left her back at the beach, at least he apologized, and at least she knew that he couldn’t be around her anymore. It made it easier to live on.

He stepped out of the creek and onto the shore as he sat laid down by the bank in a cool shady area. It was a small but quiet place, he liked it. The sun was still rather high in the sky, but he figured he could stay here for the rest of the day. He would have to find something to eat though. That was one of the few downsides of being a lone wolf, couldn’t go for large game unless they were already hurt pretty badly, even though it could be somewhat difficult and dangerous. He had been sticking with easier meals like rodents and rabbits. It wasn’t the most glamorous of meals, but it kept him full for a little while. That was the only thing he missed about being with others. He couldn’t imagine being part of a pack though, that wasn’t the life for him. It was too…He stopped himself before could think anymore.

His ears perked up when he heard a sound, a strong aroma of another wolf engulfed his nostrils. He stood up, his body alert as he stood his ground, waiting for them to present themselves to him.

“Whose there?” He asked in a stern voice. He was a friendly guy, but he had to be on edge, you never knew what was someone was up too.

OOC:: Sorry it's not the best intro x.x

[Kenai]

It has been ages since he first set paw on to the island known as Anikira. He, along with his sister, came here in search of their uncle, Kismet. At the time, he doubted they ever would find Kismet alive but he was proven wring, much to his delight and surprise. Not only that but he had a mate and a growing family. 
Everything was perfect....for a time....

Now everyone he held dear seemed to have disappeared. Sydas, his dear and sweet sister whom hardly ever left his side, has been missing for months. Kismet as well seemed to fall off the face of the earth. Leaving the multicolored male alone to roam the island. 

Of course, it hasn't always been a depressing journey, he made some acquaintances along the way. Strangely, all female. Most males might enjoy that fact, but he found it very unsettling. Females were....well..strange. He never knew how to act around them but for the most part it seemed to work out alright. From the skittish Kyra to the standoffish Datura, Kenai seemed to play the role of temporary guardian and provider until they were fit to move on to whatever adventures lay out for them.

Now, here he was, a lone male walking along a shallow creek. The quiet trickling sound was hardly even noticed while still providing a calming affect.

"Whose there?"

A steady, stern voice broke into his train of thought. Stopping where he stood, he looked up from the ground to see a dark form before him. Dipping his head in respect, Kenai responded, "May there be peace between us. I mean no harm."

He stood there in a non-threatening manner, looking the other male over. He was quite pleased actually, the first male he has met on this island. "I am Kenai. Foreign born but now a permanent resident of this island."

Koder kept his ground when he saw the other wolf approach him. He kept his stance, not in a necessarily threateningly way, but more in an “I’m wary of you and not afraid to defend myself” way. However, when the other male dipped his head, Koder loosed up a bit, realizing that there was no reason to be suspicious of the wolf that stood in front of him.
 “Forgive me, but you can never be too careful when it comes to others." Koder replied. It was true, at least in his eyes. He felt like you couldn’t really trust anyone anymore. You should always be on your guard and be careful of yours surroundings, because you never know when someone would want to attack. Koder had been a lone wolf long enough to know better than to easily trust strangers. Even though the wolf before him showed obvious signs of friendliness, Koder still never kept his eyes off of him, just in case.



“I am Koder,” Koder returned his name; “I am native to this land, but have no permanent home and just roam the lands freely as I please.” Koder never thought he was one to belong to a pack. Which was odd, seeing how he was a leader type and he hated the fact that he was alone, but he felt it was his price to pay. That was of course something he would never admit to anyone. He kept that locked up inside. He titled his head slightly to the creek and watched as the water trickled passed him. He was like the water in the creek, overflowing and free to go wherever it wanted, even when it was blocked, it carved and could easily make a new path to flow. He turned back toward the male, not exactly sure what he was supposed to say. Were they supposed to go their own separate ways or continue to communicate? Koder wasn’t very good at this part and so just decided to stand there silently and let Kenai decide.

OOC:: SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT!

[Kenai]

"I can understand the uneasiness." Sunset tinted eyes looked around a bit nervously. He didn't know how to act either. Perhaps he lost all proper decorum for conversation. Female or male, he was shy either way. How things have changed! There was a time he was at ease with those of the male gender and only shy around girls. But it seemed his lack of interaction with anyone at all has hampered every courteous instinct he had and turned him into stammering, awkward young wolf.

"I myself have yet settled down on a place to call home in a permanent fashion." Another awkward silence on his part before he decided to just throw out a something, perhaps a conversation would spark. However, he though if it was determined to be a struggle for the two of them to be at ease with each other than perhaps just parting ways was a better idea.

"Do you have any family?" He asked in a curious tone, recalling how important family was to him...when he had one. How he missed them, those darling pups he could call nieces and nephews, cut down so quickly on life. Never found trace of any survivors. He bit his tongue to mentally kick himself. He must not give up hope. Nothing was definite that they were all dead. Not all the bodies.......were found. Perhaps there were survivors. He couldn't lose hope! He mustn't!

Pulling himself from the looming darkness of his mind, he concentrated on the reply he hoped would come from this one called Koder. Slight anxiety touched his mentality when he realized he may have just asked a very personal and inappropriate question. Maybe Koder had tragedy touch his life as well. He would just have to ride it out now and see what happened.
