((:D))

"Hello," Axis replied with uncertainty, she didn't seem hostile though her pose stated otherwise, but he was in her territory. However, the last thing Axis wanted was to be tricked by another wolf for falling for her beauty. Then again, he yearned to become friends with her.

"Are you a loner?" Axis asked. It would be pretty cool if she was also a loner, but being in a pack would make him feel complacent.

((Yeahhh, crush! :D I'm going to update his crush status ;o))

"Y-yeah, I'm a loner." Leto replied stiffly. "Have I wandered into pack territory again?" She glanced around, searching for shadowy figures of other wolves, in case this one happened to come with company.

[[Fail :C ]] 

"Ah, okay, I am a loner as well so you're safe," Axis reassured, something about her made him soft, it worried him. At this time, he could thoroughly inspect the shewolf and he had to admit, she looked better up close.

"I'm Axis," he introduced.

((Hmm, so how are they all going to meet, I assume they're all in the same forest?))

"Not that I know of," Axis said, recollecting his composure. He still wasn't sure if he could trust her, he had to get to know her better.

"If you're alone, would you like to travel with me?" Axis asked, looking away to hide his embarrassment. This wolf was definetely changing him, where had his fierce attitude gone off to?

Taken aback by the wolf's jovial attitude it took Kismet a few moments to compose herself. Shuffling on her paws to get a better grip on the earth she tilted her head and flicked her ears, seeing only a calculating ex
pression in his eyes. "Hello Jem," she said after a moment, as if she had briefly forgotten how to speak. "I suppose you can call me Kismet, though to be honest the name is a bit of a misnomer. Letting out a small bark of amusement she let her muscles relax, wondering if this wolf was hostile. Throwing that thought away, for it was she who be the belligerent one, Kismet blinked her gold eyes, now filled with curiosity.

"Can I inquire on why you're in the forest?" she asked quietly, realizing that most of the forest sounds had faded away once the presence of two fit wolves had been noticed. 

{ ... It's only like, a page and a half. o3o And there's a few characters who aren't doing anything. 

 But if you insist. :/ } 

Kismet waited patiently for the large cream brute to finish, wondering why he would choose to repeat her name. Throughout her life Kismet had learned to use her words sparingly, allowing no excess. Ears flicking she allowed herself to relax slightly, the bristling along her spine flattening slowly. Muscles still tensed she waited and thought of his own questions, a bit bemused at the fact that she did not know why either.

So she gave an answer that wouldn't make sense to others.

"I heard the north wind call me," she said fondly, gold eyes glowing slightly as the shadows of the day fell over her, darkening Kismet's cream pelt. "And I saw the shining lights in the night sky. They glowed..." Words falling away Kismet shrugged. 

Kismet stiffened and held back a growl, the hair along the nape of her neck rising again. Trying to quell the feelings of panic she sighed in an offhand manner and shook her head wryly. "Both outcasts from wolven society," she said, eyes sorrowful. "I was accepted back into that pack as a pup, but cast out again due to...an incident." Averting her eyes at this Kismet hoped desperately that the male wouldn't probe any deeper. Remembering was difficult enough. The she-wolf did not wish to be reminded yet again of her morbid past.

"As for my littermates, most died, one stayed with my mother and my father is dead. He was the traitor to the pack." A snarl formed on her muzzle but Kismet fought to keep it under control, huffing with frustration. It had been years since she had left the pack, and yet her emotions were as wild as a hormonal yearlings.

"What of yours?" she inquired after a moment, wishing to deflect the interest off herself.
