[atrb=background,http://i48.tinypic.com/28i0m1k.png] It'd been a while since Estotia had traveled South, although she had to admit she enjoyed the change. It was warm for the most part, favorable weather until the height of summer. Thankfully, it wasn't time of year for that just yet. It was hot, but not intolerable. Well, it wasn't for her anyway. Her coat was short and coarse year round, her stomach being the only exception. Her new summer coat made it possible for her to almost enjoy the weather. Though it was hot and humid, the sky was swamped with steadily darkening clouds, blotting out the savage sun entirely. The wind was getting stronger, causing the trees to move and make the forest around the Lyxxus heave with life. All around her, a storm was being promised. She had no doubt that it had already hit the coast not too far away. Estotia herself was up a tree, stretched along a trustworthy branch, one just strong enough to bear her weight. The remains of a thoroughly devoured squirrel was resting on the forest floor several feet down. The small meal and the journey beforehand had made the wolf a bit lazy. She was barely gripping the branch she was laying on, instead allowing it to hold her as it swayed gently with the breeze, occasionally groaning as the wind picked up and settled a bit. This didn't affect the Lyxxus much. If it wasn't for the usual signs of life, she could have been dead. She remained perfunctory on her branch, her head resting on one forepaw while the other dangled limply off the side, her twin tails lifeless behind her and her brilliant turquoise eyes half closed.

[Nagami]

Almost every spot she went in had its dangers. She stopped to examine a sun-bleached tree stump. She was in what looked like the remnants of a forest. She started walking deeper into the small woods. The sky was covered in dark clouds, but Nagami doubted the rain would be bad enough to flood the place. If she had been in the caverns, or possibly at the edge of the beach, she would have already been up to her neck in water. Besides the clouds, it had been a nice day so far. Nagami had just been thinking of finding a way to Talyn Island. She had seen the low tide reveal a sandbar, but she didn't trust herself enough to try and walk across the strip of land. Nagami sighed and took in a deep breath of fresh air. It smelled of plants, wood, and....Wolf? Nagami narrowed her eyes. The scent was fresh. She walked swiftly towards the source of the scent, stopping only to find that nothing was there. The scent trailed along the ground, and then just...Stopped. Nagami furrowed her brow. The scent wasn't keyiou, she knew that. Nagami looked up into the sky, just to check anyway. There was no one there. Nagami took a double-take. There was! An orange wolf was laying in the tree. It was female, with bright orange eyes. Nagami was surprised to see that it had two tails. The wolf looked like it was asleep. She looks at peace. I guess I should leave her alone.Nagami thought. She backed away quietly. A stick cracked from underneath her foot, giving away her location. speech

[Estotia]

[atrb=background,http://i48.tinypic.com/28i0m1k.png] Snap! Estotia's turquoise eyes flew open and her head shot up, jolted fully awake by the sudden noise. Growling quietly, she shifted to look down at the ground, scanning for the source of the sound below. Her dark ears tilted back as her gaze rested on a dark shape below, it's seemingly black fur glinting dark blue where ever the light touched it. Another wolf. Estotia mulled over her options in her head. She could run, leaving both of them to their own business. Or she could stay and see what happens. She went with the latter. "Who are you?" she asked simply, her voice unemotional. Before the other wolf could answer, she pushed herself up on the swaying branch. It creaked and moaned in protest, but still managed to hold her weight. She was internally grateful; having the limb break now would be embarrassing. With the nimble grace of a lyxxus, she leaped from her perch, landing heavily in front of the stranger before spinning around to face her. Even though the wolf was a bit taller than her, she held her head high and examined her quickly, her tails low behind her as she waited patiently for an answer.

[Nagami]

[atrb=background,http://fotos.fotoflexer.com/10c6453f9f5c6a669d8f079e1af83297.jpg] "Who are you?" Nagami turned around and saw the wolf jump from her perch. She gracefully landed and turned around to face Nagami. Suddenly self-conscious, Nagami held her head high. Nagami sat down and tried to look as peaceful as possible. She didn't want to seem threatening. Even though the other wolf was smaller than herself, she looked like she had a much better battle experience. Nagami looked up at the trees. She sniffed the air. The clouds seemed much more threatening. Nagami was relived that she was up in the forest. It wouldn't flood....But she didn't know the forest as well as the other places. Nagami wanted to get to Talyn island, but she couldn't swim. A small drop of rain hit her on the shoulder. If it is going to flood, I'm already too late, anyway. Nagami thought. She stayed calm. The rain didn't look too bad, and even though Nagami wasn't looking forward to getting drenched, at least she wouldn't be neck high in water. Last time she "swam," it was pure luck. She didn't know if she could do it again. "My name is Nagami. And who are you?"

[Estotia]

[atrb=background,http://i48.tinypic.com/28i0m1k.png] The other wolf sat, obviously not meaning any harm. After a moment, Estotia reluctantly sat as well, one of her tails curling neatly around her side while the other rested behind it. Her ear flicked as a drop landed on it, another falling onto her lower back just beside the dark crimson stripe running along her spine. It was finally starting to rain. She didn't mind yet. Although she didn't fancy getting soaked anymore than the next Lyxxus, she had to admit that the sharp scent of the promised storm lightened up the humidity a bit, however slight the relief was. A distant crash of thunder reached the pair as said storm threatened to make its way to the shore. Now that was something she was looking forward to avoiding as best as she could. "My name is Nagami. And who are you?" Nagami. That was a nice name. The fiery orange lyxxus nodded. "Estotia," she replied."What brings you here?" Nagami smelled more like a pack wolf than a loner, various other scents on her fur. Whether the wolf still was in a pack or not, she hadn't the slightest idea. She hadn't thought that she had crossed any borders, making her curious despite the fact that it wasn't really her business. She didn't like running into pack wolves much, or any wolf for that matter, but she wasn't going to strike down anything that had the potential to keep her busy at the moment.
