Taika was oblivious to the world around her as she bounded in and out of the leaves. It was a blessing to let the worries of the world fall away around her like the crumbled bits that fell from her paws and her fur. She payed no heed to the scents on the breeze or the sounds around her. The trust she had in the world around her was incredible, and she had not been led astray yet. Even when another body came speeding into her play, the gypsy girl continued her play. The only difference now was that she included the new wolf in her antics. The cream girl rolled and giggled. Without missing a beat laughter poured from Taika as naturally as breathing. While the other rolled Taika raced around her, purposefully sending up more leaves to cover Coquette in the reds, ambers, and browns of the season. Her tail was moving so fast in joy it looked like it propelled her forward in her circles. So focused was she on playing with this stranger she was legitimately surprised when the other female spoke to her. She slid to a halt and looked at the other girl, tongue hanging out in excited panting. The meaning of the words reached her and she chuckled.

Clearly I am not your brother. Sister, maybe, but not a brother. Her tail continued to wag, head tilting slightly in contemplation of the description she was given. If anyone would have seen another loner would it could have very possibly been Taika. A member of the gypsies and ever friendly it was almost the girl’s goal to know everyone. Unfortunately she had not come across the wolf. I have not. Does he run with the gypsies? Does he call a pack home? Aloof? She grinned. Sounds like he could be hard to find, perhaps we should find him? Excitement increased in her body at the chance to meet another playmate.
