(( look look, muse! *grabs it while it's still here* :3 ))


As Ti waited quietly in her little hollow, she was surprised by a powerful howl ringing out into the air. It was instantly recognizable, the power and authority apparent in the song could belong to only one wolf. The elder's face lit up instantly, a great grin grew across her features and she eagerly awaited Seline's company. She had hardly dared hope the queen was still present, it'd been so long since they'd had contact, it seemed foolish to hope. But Tjikiju was a foolish old codger and she would have it no other way. It was hope and faith that kept the world so bright, the elder firmly believed in such things. And, more often than not, she was proved right.

Fairly swiftly after the call sounded, the candy cane coat of the alpha came into view, a very welcome sight to the elder. Each step Seline took showcased her good health, her injuries had healed well and she looked on top form. Ti was happy to see her in such excellent condition,, well, she was happy to see her full stop. Her tail tore up the dust as she attempted to raise herself on unsteady legs, before sinking back as she realized such a move was a mistake. Her old bones protested at being made to move so suddenly, besides, she was comfortable enough with her place in the pack that she felt it unnecessary. Seline knew how strong her loyalty ran.

Tjikiju focused her ears fully on her glorious queen, listening intently and with a soft smile. However, when Seline stopped mid sentence and pulled away, the smile dropped and was replaced with a more worried look. Had she done something wrong? Should she perhaps show more submission than she was? Her worry only increased as she noticed the rage cross the alpha's face, turning her scarred visage into a more frightening vision. Ti watched Seline with wary eyes, her tail still and a kind of tenseness present in her body, despite how much it ached to be so rigid.

When Seline spoke again, Ti visibly relaxed, realizing what had set the alpha off. Her smile was gone, however, as she found the memories of the attack returning fresh to her mind. There was fear in her mis-matched eyes, if one looked close enough, clouding the edges and blurring her vision. Yet, it was only slight, for the comforting presence and very obvious protectiveness of the blood and snow she-wolf acted like a security blanket. Just like Saladin, Seline made her feel safe, perhaps even strong once more. She was among family, she was home, they'd never reach her here. They wouldn't even be able to spit before they were torn apart for their actions.

.... Not know where they go, no no. Skar wyc svaist.... They.. they did bad... things. Much, much sorry, yes yes. Too old be useful, should not need help. Much sorry, please forgive?" Tjikiju hung her head in shame, saddened by her uselessness. She could not even remember where the attack had been, despite how sharp their green eyed faces were in her mind. How strong their scents were to her nose, even though they weren't near her. She felt like a burden to her new family, she knew they were all hardened warriors, even when old. Saladin was nearing her age, yet still he stood tall and proud, while she fell at the paws of these young savages.

The old wolf was about to continue, when she realized that she wasn't alone. She'd heard the SNAP earlier, but it had drifted in one ear and out the other as she remained immersed in those horrific memories. Now though, she took the time to run her half-blind gaze over the strange, female wolf. The creature was small, pale, but with a most remarkable coat. It had a beautiful silvery grey sheen to it, with white forelimbs, ear tips and eye makeup. There were hints of black here and there too, all finished off with unusual, intense eyes; light grey outlined in a soft sage green.

Tjikiju instantly liked the female, if not for her brilliant coat, it was for her immediate submission and lovely voice. The girl announced her name as Kaguya, a name as foreign to Ti as most of those she'd already encountered. She spoke of wishing to join and what she was good at, a moment that took the elder back to when she first joined. How long ago that day seemed, it was almost like a distant memory, replaced by more recent, and far more traumatic ones.

Shaking her skull slightly, the old she-wolf returned her eyes to her queen, hoping Seline would accept this young and unique wolf. Ti could sense a mystery behind that timid gaze, she always liked different cultures, different histories and ways of living. Kaguya seemed foreign even to those already in BF, which was as foreign to the old lass as the wolves that crossed it's surface. "Tarrkknji Kaguya, welcome. I no speak for dear alpha, no no, but I be much happy have you as pack-mate. " She smiled warmly to the young lass, though her focus still remained on Seline, awaiting her reactions.
