BRANWEN.
Branwen really didn't know what had came over her. She had been wandering around the lands of the Cadre one minute, trying to look board and hopeing that they wouldn't shove her out for not starting a joining fight. Than the next, she had gone and ran off here. Bran had taken a look around and blamed her mad dash on nerves.
But of course, everything about it wasn't that bad. At least she hadn't run into lands that someone owned. Plus, this place wasn't half bad. There was sun, and grass, and a lake somewhere if she trusted her nose right. She sat down, she may as well practice a bit before going on. And so, with that thought she started, sending little golden sparks into the air around her. Than gradually building them up into something bigger.

Why'd he'd joined the Knights then, considering the territory in which they lived, was a bit of a mystery. He repeatedly found himself wandering down to the warmer lands where the weather was much more pleasant for his shorter coat. Of course, he liked the pack well enough. Given his tendencies for rocky introductions, he didn't have the heart to leave now that he had been accepted. Instead he found ways to beat the cold (which honestly wasn't all that cold given the season) by enjoying extensive travel.
This time purple tipped paws had carried him to a vast meadow. His nose told him that it was an unclaimed land which meant he could breath a little easier. His last trip had found him in a packs land, and all things considered he wasn't exactly ready to repeat such an event. The fact that he didn't have to worry about the wrath of a leader already had him more at ease than he generally was. For once he wasn't all that likely to spook.
Cresting a rather subtle hill, the lupus was met with a vision that left him more curious than anything. A female was sitting there playing with the light. Her mastery of the element was impressive (at least compared to his own poor skills). Before he realized what was happening his body was moving towards her in a friendly trot, tail wagging behind him. "Is, um... Is that what I'll, uh, be able to do someday?" he questioned once within earshot. His voice was still soft, but instead of staring at his paws his soft eyes were bewitched by the dancing sparks.

BRANWEN.
She didn't try to hide her surprise as the other lupus came toward her and asked a question. As soon as he did so, her sparks went out, and she scrambled back a few feet. She was not a sociable kind of wolf. And being caught by surprise by another wolf really wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Most of the time she would try to bend the light so she would appear invisible, or shake her head and back away. Fakeing like she had something to do and somewhere to go. But as Branwens mind fully grasped the question of the wolf, she just stood there and nodded. What an intresting prospect, another light Lupus.
She stepped forward a bit, and seeing no dry ground where she could scratch in words, only grass. She sat back and slowly spelled out. "If you try." After a few moments of letting the words hang in the air, she let them fade away, and hoped that this wolf knew how to read. She really didn't want to listen to a conversation that she couldn't reply to, or hear complaints about her condition.

Dritan had just done to this female what others often did to him. At least her reaction didn't involve a blinding flash of light. Quite the opposite, her sparks went out. Had he been in her position, his power would have been activated as opposed to extinguished.
Pulling his ears back, a quiet whimper escaped the male as he dropped his head in shame. He hadn't meant to scare her. I-I, I... I'm sorry. I'm s-sorry. I didn't mean, mean to, I'm sorry!" Refusing to look up from his own paws now, he missed the slight nod she gave towards his question. It was only when he sensed her stepping closer that he dared to peek up. She was... looking for something?
Sparks dancing in the air again caught his eyes as his head pulled up farther. Though his ears remained plastered to his skull, she had him curious again. She was writing something. Though not extremely proficient in the skill of reading, the lupus had been intelligent enough to pick up a bit of it over the years. Her phrase was simple enough to understand and though he was still a bit weary of again scaring her his tail wagged behind him. "Really?" he asked, liking the bit of hope she gave. "Right now, erm, all I ever do is... flash. It's... not very, um, helpful." Dritan smiled sheepishly at her, clearly more confident in himself when he was on the scaring side of an encounter than the scared side. This was new for him.

BRANWEN.
She tilted her head to the side as the wolf suddenly started saying sorry. What exactly could he be sorry about? Scaring her? She made a type of tsh sound. Though it ended up sounding like a horrible hiss mixed in with something like a cough. Damn her vocal cords. But her ears perked forward at his next part. Only a flash....? That was rather alarming. Even the most unskilled light lupus she had met could do at least a few things with their powers. But at least he could do a flash, that was something.
She started to walk around him, looking him over. He was rather scrawny, but she didn't mind that, so was she. He also had purple markings, like her as well. She stopped walking and looking and started to spell again. Slowly, she really wasn't one with words.
"Think of what you want to do, and you can get it." She waited awhile, like before. Than let the words fade into the air.

He didn't like the feeling of eyes scrutinizing his form, judging him. All he could do was sit there, eyes staring down at his paws. Occasionally he would peek at her, briefly noting the other similarities between them. For the most part, however, his yellow caped head refused to show any signs of assertiveness.
Only when she stopped moving and stiff silence fell between them did the male look up for more than a few fleeting seconds. She was spelling again. Soft brown eyes transfixed upon the letters of light, trying to make sense of them. The sentence was longer this time so it took him longer to decipher it, but when he did he looked at her questioningly. "Just concentrate?" he asked, waiting for any sign of confirmation.
When finally he was sure of himself, Dritan closed his eyes and did his best to conjure up any sort of light at all. He wasn't really sure what would happen. He'd had no formal training to begin with, and having been such a late bloomer his skill level was far below par. After what seemed like forever and a day (though it had only been a few minutes), the lupus opened his eyes expecting to see nothing. He hadn't felt any different and was sure his attempt had been unsuccessful. Instead what he saw shocked him into yelping. Soft light seeped into his eyes as he stared cross-eyed at his own nose. The normally black sniffer was glowing faintly from the light he'd conjured. Incredulously he stared up at the female in shock. He could actually do something other than accidentally flash!

BRANWEN.
Branwen nodded in encouragement and also in answer. She, teaching another wolf, quite exciting! She waited for a few tense moments, on the edge of her seat to see what would happen. Than... his nose lit up? Bran let out a hiss like laugh, than bit her tongue and turned her joy into a smile. After all, he could take her "laugh" as an offence. She started spelling again. "Good! Keep trying!"
Branwen let the words fade.
occ: crappycrappy, sorry nali. D=

He hadn't missed the laugh she'd tried to hide. Lips pulling down in a pout, his nose blinked out. At least her written words of encourage made him feel a little better. It was the first bit of light he'd ever willingly summoned, after all.
Trying again, he managed to relight his nose after several long minutes. The task took a great deal of concentration despite being such a small output. When finally he was sure he could no longer sustain it, the light again went out. The male sighed, turning his attention back to the other light lupus. "This is harder than it looks."

BRANWEN.
She frowned at her pupil. What low self confidence he had! She didn't spend her time mopeing around saying that things where hard, because even if they where, she could get over it. She shook her head, and to prove a point lit up her own nose for a few minutes. Keeping the light steady, concentrateing on it and letting her power and mind control it. Than, she let it go out with a blink.
"See that!" She spelt out, slightly angered. "If I can do that now, you can do it later. If you practice, concentrate, let your power do its stuff, don't hold it back, don't worry about what others will think!" She let the words hover for a few minutes, than swiped them away with a paw. Sitting, she glared at the other wolf... had he even said his name?

His ears pulled back and his gaze immediately fell to his paws. He felt shameful, as if he'd let her down. How was he to know his little comment would inspire such anger within her? This was all so new to him, to the point that simple parlor tricks were hard. He may have been four but his powers had developed very late in his young life. And, this was the first time he'd ever really tried to practice.
Glancing up when light caught his eye, he watched the female's own nose glow for a moment before she proceeded to yell at him. Dritan only retreated further into himself, unable to read all she'd said before swiping away the words. His soft gaze again found his paws, her glare feeling like an x-ray probing into his very core. At a loss for what to do, he said the first words that popped into his mind. "I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He couldn't bring himself to meet her eyes.
