We live in a beautiful world yeah we do yeah we do

[Aishi]

Her white paws gently trod on the dwindling remander of green earth, that which wasn't curled from frost. Though young, she was wise in the basics of life which had taught her to be cautious before reckless. The eyes of gold roamed over the hills, curiousity filling up her short attention span and the thought of wariness fleeing her thoughts as if the bitter winds were sweeping them away. Her body shivered in delight, the pot of joy was boiling over. Bolting forward she sprang through the bitten grass, attacking the snowflakes with glee, tumbling on the hard earth. She lived for every moment. She was young, naive, and innocent. She was Aishi.

[Angel]

Angel had decided it was time to leave this place, nothing lived here and although she deserved it, the voices in her head purred their approval when she admitted this to herself, she still longed for contact with anything... anyone.... even the rabbit she killed she longed to be friends with.

So she climbed up, her feet no longer cut by sharp stones, but wet from the creek, and now cold from the flakes of white that fluttered down to kiss her fur, softly. Maybe she would just lay down,and let it embrace her fully.

Movement caught her eye, another wolf, but surely it was just a phantom of her mind. "You are so stupid you now imagine others". She shook her head, angry that the voices were disturbing her, she had decided to let it end... why could they not leave her be?

A scent drifted to her, it was not a phantom, that was a real, live wolf. Young like her, maybe even younger. She appeared to be playing or something like it. Hope shot though her, maybe, she could.... "NO" the voices dissaproved..... so.....

She bound out, into the open, so the other would see her. She probably looked derranged with her bedragged coat, bloody paws and her eyes shining a bit crazy, but all she could care was that someone was here!

She waited, at least she had enough sense not to crash out and chase the other. Although her tail wagged and she wiggled like a happy puppy while she waited to be noticed.

[Aishi]

Her bounds and leaps covered her dangly coat with snow, matting to her fur while her body heat melted it off almost as quick. As her jaws snipped at a snow flake or two the blur of another caught her eye. The swiftness and sudden scent of this other being caught into her nostrils and startled her with such abruptness. She tumbled through the snow, trying to get a look at the thing. Curiousity had overwhelmed her so, like Pandora to the box, that she skipped an entire section of self abuse over foolishness. But what did the young care of foolishness? She just wanted another plaything, something to put her paws around and play with. Finally shaking the flakes from her golden brown eyes, she finally saw her. For a moment she froze, returning the emotionless gaze to the other. But in less than a second her body quivered, like slinky being shook side to side, wagging in delight. She bounded and leaped up to the wolf, came close enough to a nose away and froze. Her rear shook playfully in anticipation of the other.

Hope you don't mind if I join.

late at night I wonder why, sometimes I wonder why

Leaving the territory had now seemed the only option in a world of boredom. He needed something else to do besides sit around waiting for strangers to come knocking at his door. So he had left Kashi packlands and it's forests and rivers and estuaries and such, trecking out into the open world of the free - the place where lone wolves hung about, doing whatever it was that they did. He had gone passed the swamp and the lake, walkined along the coast until he reached the grasslands, passed a lake and a meadow, and had now come all the way to this pass of sorts. Here he had stopped to rest, taking a drink from a creeek near the center of the pass and laying down upon the soft moss that lined the banks.

A light snow had begun to fall, but it was not enough to bother him. He stayed nice and warm, despite the cold, thanks to his thick coat. But it slowly grew stronger, making him decide to move downstream, toward a place where he might find a little shelter for the time being. It was as he walked that direction that he caught the signs of movement in the distance. He was certain that there were two more wolves not too far ahead of his position.

He continued forward until he could see them clearly and then he risked a chance scenting of the air. He could barely smell through the falling snow, but he recognized the two distinct scents of two females. When he saw that at least one was playing in the snow he forged forward to watch, feeling more comfortable in approaching them. But he still stayed yards away from them, watching. He knew that they would be able to see him if they looked in his direction, so he hoped that his presence didn't startle them.

sometimes I'm so tired I don't even try

[Angel]

Angel started to shake as the other young female bounded towards her, she wasn't afraid, she was truly excited. At last.... a playmate?

Her tail started to slowly wag back and forth as the other skidded to a halt in front of her. She gazed into the others eyes, her tail wagging faster. This other was not as young as she first thought... maybe even around the same age, maybe even older.

She gave an excited yip and bowned down her front , behind wigging in the air in the classic 'play bow'. She wanted to spring on this other, but she also didn't want to scare her away... so she danced sideways a little inviting play.

Out of the corner of her eye she thought that she saw another wolf, but soon forgot that, and turned her full attention to the wolf before her. It was probably a figment of her imagination anyway, the voiced were quiet... for once.

[Aishi]

Her golden eyes watched the other go into the pounce position and her eyes lit up a little, if not more. She yipped and delight and bounced towards the other, flinging her wiggly body to the right side of the other. She pounced around, back and forth, looking for a spot to pounce. She pawed the air where the shewolf stood, turning her head to the side as she yipped loudly, always ready for a good play fight. The puppy in her had never left, and there was a good chance it never would. She danced around in the snow, eyeing the brown lupine before her. Her eyes caught a color that didn't match the dying hues of grass nor the pure iridescence of the fleeting snow. She froze for a moment, her vision attempting to make out the form before creeping backwards, completely forgetting the play fight she had just previously thought solely of.

[Angel]

Angel was delighted and started to pounce herself, yipping in pure delight, she smaked her paws on the ground at her playmate and was about to try tp pin her down when suddenly the play stopped.

She looked at her playmate, her brown eyes confused, "SEE!" the voices crowed. She shooke her head angry, how dare the voices interrupt. She followed the gaze of her companion and realised with a shock that the wolf she thought was a figment of her imagination was indeed real.

She mirrored the other, creeping back, feeling suddenly insecure, who was this stranger, and what did they want with them? Surely they had not come to take her playmate away? "You know you are worthless, and don't deserve it" the voices whispered, making her feel once again, worthless. She might of slunk away then, but the sheer joy she had felt of finding someone made her stick by the side of her new friend and await the move of the stranger.

He tilted his head when he saw that the two she-wolves had stopped their play. His eyes struggled to see through the snow, so it took him a moment to realize that they had stopped playing to look at him. With a soft smile and a glint in his eyes he began to walk forward toward the two strangers he had been watching, his paws leaving soft imprints in the snow-dusted ground. When he was only a few feet away and could finally see them both clearly he came to a stop and simply looked from one to the other for a moment.

Suddenly he dropped his front end down to the ground, leaving his hindquarters in the air above him, in the same position that the brown female had been in only a minute before. His tongue hung from his mouth and his tail wagged behind him like a banner. His eyes were sparkling with laughter as he waited to see if they would play with him or not.

that there is a reason

[Aishi]

Watching the white laden beast trod before them, she watched him go into the play pose as almost a mimic of what the other had earlier. Her ears pricked up, her eyes resumed their childish gleam, and she yipped and flung herself to his side in the snow. She rolled over pawing at his side as her rear end wriggled to and fro, her tail making tail marks in the snow. That spirited smile returned, for she had not one, but two playthings now.

[Angel]

Angel watched the whole thing astonished. She had almost panicked as the large male approached, she knew enough to be afraid of large males, they were not always kind. But then he sank into a play pose just as she had.

She watched her playmate fling herself at the larger male, inviting him to join them as well. She smiled, her eyes sparkled, this was wonderful.

She gave a high pitched yelp of her own and flug her body forwards, her tail thrashing so hard her whole body shook with her joy. She stayed on the side of the female more than the new male, since she was still a little intimidated by him and half worried that he would take her playmate from her.

Since Rostyn doesn't know Angel and Aishi yet, Aishiwill be "first female" and Angel will be "second female" for now.

Rostyn rolled onto his back as the first female pawed at his side. The position that he landed in on his back faced the same way that his play-stance had, but now he was upside down. He commenced rolling in the snow, twisting his spine back and forth. Each new twist of his back moved snow away from his body, creating a messy snake-like form in the snow.

Suddenly he rolled back onto his paws and lept up in the air, sending snow flying everywhere. When he landed on his four paws he jumped forward toward the second female, the brown one whose play-stance he had copied, and nudged her side with his head playfully. His tail was wagging wildly behind him, making his entire body sway back and forth as he bounded away from both females, only to turn around and run back.

that there is a reason

[Aishi]

One thing she realized about the snowy weather, is any sign of what wasn't directly in front of her was completely gone by this time. The snow was flalling gently, but in great loads. Those dried and dead blades of grass that used to once completely covered the land of frost were slowly shriveling away into a new field of white. These lands were showing off their gleaming new winter coat, and it was one where she could find happiness. Everything, the atmosphere, the time, seemed to be frozen exept their boundfull movements and the percipitation. Oh the snow...oh the glorious snow. So glorious, so bright, blurring out the faults of the ground and sky. For as far as she could see, she was in her own glorious little snow globe now. One where others of her kind tempted her mind into spirited play. Her thoughts started to swim for the first time since she had entered the lands. She tried to let herself return to the carefree mood, to let go of those thoughts....just to go back, and savor that moment again.

For not a first time, she was completely still. She had rolled over upon her toes, muzzle pointed towards the sky. Her golden eyes had closed, letting the flakes crestin her dark coat. If only everything were like a snow globe...a moment of joy frozen in time forever and the only thing left is the glorious snow...oh that snow.

[Angel]

[ooc] its all good, Angel doesn't know names either

[ic]

Angel began to relax as the male tried to engae her in play. She playfully swatted at him with her paws, not blood stained anymore, the snow had washed them clean.

She danced around the two in the snow, it was starting to fall faster now, but she didn't care. This was living, this was what her damaged soul craved. She rolled in the snow, washing her past from herself, hoping, begging for a new life. She could feel the voices at the back of her mind, they were angry, angry that she could even feel joy, but they stayed silent.

Suddenly for the pure joy of it she threw back her head and howled. It wasn't a cry of challenge, or of lonliness, this was a song of pure joy. Joy of being alive and being here with others of her kind.

Rostyn stopped when he could see that both of the females had tilted their heads to the sky. The first female wasn't making a sound; her eyes were closed and the snowflakes that fell from the sky covered her face. The second female had stopped playing to look up at the sky and howl with joy.

Rostyn couldn't help but be overcome with the desire to join the second female in her howl. He lower his haunches and raised his head to the sky, allowing the howl to escape from his chest and join her own in a beautiful, joyful chorus. He didn't stop; he was waiting for the female to. The sound was lovely.

that there is a reason

[Aishi]

She titled her head and perked her ears at the sound of the females howl, something she wasn't expecting. From behind her, she heard the male join in. The sound was lovely, perfect for the setting she had played out in her mind. A wolf-like smale creassed her black lips, and she twoo flung her head back and released a howl. Her pitch matched up with the others and in joy, her tail couldn't help but slowly increasing it's speed in wagging.
