OOC: Yay, Selly and Sally post xD And sorry for any mistakes, this was posted on an iphone at quarter to four in the morning. Erm, sleeping is bad for you.... :3

Having lived as long as she had, Ti had a vast collection of memories, some fond, some she wished she could forget. But those dark times were far behind her here, the warm sunshine gave her mind access to much happier days. Days when she was nought but a tiny pup, playing tag with her brothers' tail. Or scrambling atop her mothers' back and proudly declaring that she was the great bullslayer, queen of the northern lands. Those were the good days of youth and laughter. 

Ti always remembered her family with great fondness, especially her little brother. It saddened her to think that she was here and he was there, and neither of them knew if the other was alive and well. Of course, Tjikiju was a creature of hopeful optimism, but it was always better to know rather than guess. Kijautae could be anywhere for all she knew, and just like her, he wasn't getting any younger. She had faith in him though, he was a good leader and she trusted the old pack with his life and his protection. 

That thought brought the old she-wolf back to thinking about her current habitat. She hoped she'd remember these with the same fondness, hoped they'd help her get over her seperation, give her something new to build on. Ki would always hold a special place in her heart, but she was nothing short of adaptable. You had to be in the north, life was harsh and cold, unforgiving and unrelenting. Indeed, the vast majority of Ti's numerous scars were not caused by wolves, but rather the daunting world she grew up in. She'd been kicked, butted and trodden on by countless caribou and musk ox, despite the fact that the pack would go weeks without eating. But she was a survivor, they all were. 

The creamy gold female was still reminiscing when a voice suddenly sounded beside her. She'd not noticed the male's approach and nearly left the ground in startled shock, a momentary look of surprise plastered across her features. Perhaps she'd relaxed a bit too much? Striving to recover as much of her composure as she could, while covering her embaressment, Ti took a moment to calm herself down, allowing a soft and sheepish smile to cross her face. "Please, please, forgive. So far away that I not notice, is sun stroke, eh? You Seline father, yes yes? Not remember name, you share?"

Tjikiju was careful to keep her tail low and her gaze on the males' nose as she spoke, well aware that simply by being the father of the alpha, he was far above her in rank. She was looking a bit more like the reserved elder she was meant to be now, rather than a scattered and jumpy little thing. She had her moments, didn't everyone? Though she almost felt guilty, lazing around and staring off into space like a lovestruck teenager, it wasn't something she planned to be showing off. But oh well, these things happened.

As the old wolf waited for a reply, who should arrive en scene but the Alpha herself. Ti immediatley lowered her stance in a slight bow, though her thick tail dusted the ground in greeting. Her limited gaze watched as the youngster nuzzled her father, noting the apparent infection in the queens' shoulder. Her heart went out to the mottled girl, it couldn't be comfortable like that and Ti knew all too well the danger it posed. She'd lost one of her siblings to a leg infection, a memory she certainly didn't relish. Seline looked quite content though, so Ti hoped that it wasn't as bad as it looked. Besides, she was a strong wolf, she would fight it. 

"Indeed, this little meet 'n' greet, eh? And yes yes, most certain know you, dear Queen. I Tjikiju, humble follower. Most say Ti, easy for southern tongue. " With a warm smile, the old she-wolf gave a quick shake of her coat, the area around her turning white with loose fur as she did so. And spring was coming, the moulting was only going to get worse... Turning her attention back to the injured she-wolf, Ti felt the need to help her, though she didn't know if it would be permitted. "Shoulder look bad this day, yes yes. Can help? Learn first paw how bad uh, infection, be. "
