[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/vback-3.jpg] [scrolly:h(335), w(340),sy] Vanya pranced daintily to the edge of the lake and put a tentative paw on top of the ice. She was lucky, she could make it to a hole in the ice without breaking it and falling in, due to her willowy build and frail limbs. She stepped lightly over the ice and over to a small hole. She bent her neck and drank her fill, then turned to make her way back. She hopped on to the shore line and breathed in a sigh of relief. If there was one thing she really didn't need right now, it was a swim, in the middle of October. She started walking back to the Home Tree, but then stopped. She wasn't in the mood to go back to the tree, so she sat on the shore line, staring out over the half frozen lake. She saw a silver shape dart under the water, and jumped up. She tip toed on to the lake, dodging weak looking spots and water puddles. The silver shape joined a group of them, and Vanya licked her lips at the thought of fish for her lunch. She stood on the edge of a wide hole and waited. After a minute or so, a large fish separated from the school and swam under the broken ice. Vanya stabbed downward, and pulled upward quickly. In her mouth was a wriggling fish. She jumped back on to the ground, and killed the fish. The delicious and mouth watering smell filled her nose, and she took a large bite. The wonderful flavor filled her mouth and she gave a sigh of satisfaction. Truthfully, she would have preferred fruit, but she hadn't found any since she joined the Enclave, so she ate fish instead, her second favorite food. She finished the fish in a matter of minutes, then stood up and looked around. It was a nice, cool autumn day, and Vanya's antennae were telling her it would rain later on. Already some clouds were forming in the distance, and she scurried over to two fallen logs, creating a roomy shelter. She stood by the logs watching the storm form with her ebony black eyes, her tail flowing gracefully. She wondered if she would find anyone else down at the lake, but there was no one in sight.

As she walked along she was excited to see another part of the territory she hadn't explored. She ran before she skidded to a stop, she saw a lake then scented a rabbit and a wolf "Hello, Wolf? I'd like to speak to you, I'll catch us rabbit." As she saw two rabbits disappear down the hole. Perfect, I'll catch one for me and one for the wolf! She crept up on the rabbits as she saw two rabbits disappear down the hole.


Perfect, I'll catch one for me and one for the wolf! She crept up on the rabbits howling, she sent them a stir. Both rabbits squeezed each other out of the way she slashed both. Then with her body she kept the second rabbit down, she bit the rabbit’s neck having the limp body in her mouth she looked at the second rabbit. The rabbit dug enough out for the kill spot to be open. She bit down the rabbit, killing it in seconds. She got up, got both rabbits in her mouth. She ran to the lake and lay out and started rolling in the snow drift, making her beautiful amber pelt messy with snow here and there. She tidied up and waited

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/vback-3.jpg] [scrolly:h(335), w(340),sy] Vanya was sitting outside the shelter and thinking, when a voice came from the distance. She stood up and looked around, and spotted an amber colored wolf in the distance. She raised a brow, and called out an answer. "Alright." Before she waited for the wolf to come to her, she trotted out of the shadow of the logs and made her way to the source of the sound. She saw a lyxxus catch two rabbits, then make her way down to the edge of the lake, and clean herself. Vanya hurried over to the wolf, remembering her conversation with another lyxxus, Tilly? No, that isn't it, she thought. Tilla? Tally? Tillix? Ah yes. That was it, she remembered, nodding. She daintily made her way through a snowbank that had been rolled in by the lyxxus, then seated herself in front of her. The light shimmered and gleamed on her orange pelt, and she smoothed her vibrant and silky fur, cleaning as well. She turned back to the wolf and smiled. "Hello, there, my name is Vanya. May I ask yours?" She noted how the wolf had been so polite as to catch her a rabbit, and she thought it would be proper to thank the dear for all the trouble she went through, though the rabbits -when they were alive- looked stupid anyway. "Why, thank you for going through all the trouble to catch me a meal." Oh yes, she could lay on the charm when she wanted to. She glanced at the lyxxus's tail and noted she must be two or so, for there lay on the snow two tails, from the one wolf. She had always found that interesting. Her own tail would not rest upon the ground, for it was too light, and she had always loved the way it swirled and curled around in the air, like a dancer. She glanced back and gave it a fond look, she loved it, just like she loved her fur, and her eyes, and her wings, and her paws, and... She decided she better continue the conversation instead of making a long list of what she loved about herself. She turned back to the lyxxus and smiled. "Are you new here? I admit I have not been a member of this pack very long, but I have explored various areas of the territory, and I must say I have grown quite fond of it." She nodded in agreement with herself. She ate a few bites of the jackalope the nice wolf had caught for her, and smiled. She had met a lot of lyxxus recently. That Tillix, Raust, and now this one. Raust had been very kind, she remembered vaguely. He had a certain charm. His chest would billow out and he would say such sweet things, like compliments. Oh, how she loved compliments. She thought she had seen this lyxxus at the pack meeting, and she struggled to remember if the wolf had said her name. She did not come up with anything though, so simply waited for the wolf to speak. [/scrolly]

As a pinkish wolf figure walked out of a fallen tree with antennas and wings, she was amazed, Wow, wings…. Hold on, I do need a teacher... and a friend. [i/] “Are you wise? Like teacher wise? Wait. Tell me about yourself, while we eat.” As she saw the other wolf engulf herself in the food, she thought ‘eh why not? As she started, the right thy seemed larger she carefully ripped it this is a beautiful pelt; I think I’ll keep it. As she raised her head in respect word tumbled out “Hey will you be my-my teacher? You’d be great at it, you old… and slow.”
What did I just do? As she slurred her words together she looked at her. “I’m-so-sorry-should’ve known!!!!I get it-you don’t like me!” Sounding like rubbish she merely heard her question “Yea, I like it here, I love playing in snowdrifts do you?” As she hurriedly ate the rabbit she glanced around. She jumped in the gigantic snow drift and waited her answers.

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/vback-3.jpg] [scrolly:h(335), w(340),sy] Vanya daintily licked her paw, almost cat-lick, to clean the blood from it. She looked it over, making sure it was perfectly clean before she resumed eating. She took small bites, pausing every once in a while to check her fur. The blood dyed to snow red, but she took pride in having vibrant orange fur, and she was not going to let it get soiled. She glanced at the lyxxus, who owned carmel fur. She supposed it was quite pretty, but she preferred her own gem colored coat. "Tell you about myself?" The invite was a great idea for anyone to get in her good books. As far as Vanya was concerned, the only interesting topic in this world was herself. She gave the lyxxus a dazzling smile. "Me, well, I do have to say I am.. Wise, as you put it. I have been around longer then many wolves, my dear." She paused, trying to build suspension. "I.. Am 76." She stopped there, waiting for the lyxxus's reaction. "Indeed, I am 'teacher wise'." She was, now that she came to think about it. She had traveled in every terrain thinkable, and in her 76 years she had learned quite a lot. "Yes, us sennyo are wonderful mentors. We are rare creatures indeed, and I am still young.. For my species, but even though, I have seen many wonderful things, and learned wonderful things." She continued to eat her meal, her eyes straying around the frozen surroundings. She flicked her feather light tail, and it flew around in swirls behind her. The question surprised the sennyo so much she did a half double take. She composed herself before she could finish the action, and looked at the lyxxus with a slightly offended. She decided not to hold it against her when she apologized though. "No, I understand. Sennyo have a hard time fitting in with the.. Excuse me but.. The shorter life species." She gave the lyxxus an understanding smile, she pitied the poor dear. Her life was so short. Vanya had already lived the length of the lyxxus's life, and she was curious to see how the dear survived living, knowing that she had such a short time. She shook it off and watched the lyxxus jump in the snow. She nodded vaguely, her mind wandering. It might be handy to have an.. Apprentice. She turned back to the lyxxus, her mind made up. "I'm afraid I never had the urge to jump in a snow drift." She stood up and walked over to where the wolf was. "Alright. I will be your teacher, if you are still interested. But if I'm going to be teaching you, I think I should know your name." She smiled at the wolf, for once being sincere. "What do you say?" [/scrolly]

As snow came down in all directions, she sneezed blowing more of the snow on herself. Then she heard it. Her answers she shook all around, causing little snow to be spread here and there. As she listened she ran out causing a whole snow drift to tumble over. “Wow Well, maybe I can live that long!! Seems like a long time, why don’t you play around have fun? It’s fun here.” She sighed well, maybe it’s not so fun. But she’ll cheer up. If I keep saying it “Wow! Where have you been? I’ve only been here. But its fun getting snow in your fur! But it gets lonely but I have you and you have me!!”

As she seemed the old wolf eyes seemed to wonder around, then it came out the words she’s been dying to hear, saying yes. “Really I’m not the smartest wolf here, I just now know about sennyo. My mom was five. A beautiful copper lyxxus, was all alone she never said anything about my father.” She sighed, “I’m looking for him still, so I need to know anything I can.” She started to tear up, “I’m sorry, I just can’t, tell you much of my past.” She laid down licking her dark paws. “My name’s Allison, call me Alli, Vanya.” She looked up, “we should go to the home tree, its getting close to dark. And yes, I want you as a mentor.”

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/vback-3.jpg] [scrolly:h(335), w(340),sy] Vanya watched the young lyxxus, smiling faintly. Ah, she could remember when she was a pup. Not very well, but she could remember frolicking around, running through snow, yipping and barking. She shook her head and focused on the present. Her past was not important, if there was one thing she had learned being a sennyo, is you had to look forward to tomorrow, because tomorrow would always be there. She nodded, that was a good motto to live by. If you were a sennyo, of course. She heard the lyxxus's reply and laughed. "My dear, it is a good goal, but I have met few wolves who could live as long as myself." She gave the lyxxus a grin. "And most of them were sennyo or lumen, or species like that. Long lived species. Or, some wolves are given gifts by the Great Spirit." She nodded in satisfaction of her explanation. "Where have I been? I have been many places. Mountains, valleys, forests.. You name it." The idea that the poor dear had only been here was sad to the sennyo, who had traveled far and wide. The lyxxus began talking, and Vanya listened to her attentively. She was used to being the first sennyo many wolves had seen, her kind was rather rare still, and she was not surprised. The conversation took an unexpected turn to the female's past, and when tears welled up in the lyxxus's eyes, Vanya was at a lost. This jovial little female had began to grow on her, but she hadn't had much experience comforting others. The female pulled herself together though, and told Vanya her name. She nodded to let Allison know she had heard, then said, "Allison. Such a pretty name," in hopes of raising Allison's spirits. She smiled slightly when Allison confirmed that she wanted her for a mentor. Vanya raised her head as well and looked. "Yes, earlier on my antennae were telling me it will rain tonight. We had best get back." She pranced back toward the direction of the home tree, and then stopped, making sure Allison was following. OOC: End of thread? [/scrolly]
