Romance is in the air...this is probably the most beautiful and scenic place in Blossom Forest. For the athletic and determined to come with their mates, for time away from pups. Only adults may come here; some of the ledges are too far apart for teens or pups to cross and some too high to scale.

There was something about this she-wolf that captured his attention unlike anything he would expect. He contemplated if it was simply the way that she looked at him, because he was certainly aware that she did, much in the same way that he watched her with a gauging and curious interest. It crossed his mind to wonder what she thought of him thus far - was he as foreign to her as she was to him? Maybe that's why she had stopped him; maybe he was the strange one in this neck of the woods? His eyes certainly did not match hers and where her coat was bathed in moonlight, it looked like he'd had a good romp in a pile of soot. Also to support this theory was this very journey as he sought to understand this land and why it had changed. She'd not yet given him an indication if that was her purpose here in this forest too, but she seemed comfortable with the place - at home, from his best estimation.
Harlow's brows lifted just slightly in surprise when the wolfess smiled and dismissed his apology and his ebony ears press more firmly in her direction as she continued on, thanking him and then mentioning her family and again a "change". Saffron eyes blink in confusion, truly lost by what she meant, but Adara seemed to realize this and rather than going on to explain herself, she asked a question. 'Do you know about the magic that came back to the lands?' The wolf blinked again, staring at her a moment as if that would help him understand what she meant. Magic? She held his gaze steadily but a bit apprehensively, he thought. Still no clear answer came to him but he found his gaze shifting from her to the trees and land around them, a small connection slowly dawning as his mind worked to process all the possibilities of what she could mean.
"You mean how the lands changed?" Interest peaking now with the first threads of understanding coming to him, Harlow returned his gaze back to her, meeting hers without hesitation. Was this really what had happened? Magic was a foreign concept to him - often joked about but never viewed as real. The weight of the realization, that magic might even be a possibility pulled his voice lower when he spoke again, haltingly amid the bustle of thoughts at work in his mind. "The packlands I came to were once a forest, but the trees fell and the ground changed.... now, now there's mountains near.... and only grasses and undergrowth. The trees are gone. It's different." Though it was spoken as a statement, his uncertain tone made it sound a bit more like a question. He studied her apprehensively, unsure really how to take what he thought she might be suggesting, unsure if he really believed that magic was real. Yet he'd had little luck in forming a rational theory of his own about what had happened. "That is why I came here. To figure out what happened.... nothing is where it was before, and I don't understand it. A storm can uproot trees but it cannot move a territory..."
