The rust colored leaves gently swayed as the chilly breeze flowed over the forest; catching stray petals as they twisted and turned like dancers to their own invisible melody.
A pair of glistening emerald eyes viewed the beautiful scene from the shade of the huge tree trunks, his eyes filled with sadness and a hint of anger. His unusual light blond hair falling in his eyes as it brushed across his forehead. Thoughts of his past swam in his head, knowing what it feels like to be an outcast to the very people who raised you. Ark shook his head slowly and shut his eyes, 'They deserved it; every one of them.. they were right to exile me..' he thought harshly, his frown increasing as it got lower.
He let out a sigh and raised his flank from the grassy floor, his tail an unusual mix of dark blond then fading to black at the tip as it hung limply behind him. Ark released a yawn; the morning was still young an he had caught the scent of wolves a few miles back. He wasn't really looking for acceptance; he just wanted some work to take his mind off his exile. His thin tongue shot out and licked his lips before his emerald eyes scanned the tree's around him. 'Eenie, meanie, miney, mo..'

(I stand all amused. XD)
It was not long at all before a small red wolf came padding his way. Right towards him, with no sign whatsoever of fear or really anything. Totally calm.
Spitfire looked up, her sparkling red-gold eyes bright with mischeif as she padded up to meet him. "Aye, young lad!" She called, her beautiful flaming fur whisked out with the wind, and long tail high in a dominant stance. "Where d'you spring from?" She called, voice playfully entwined with an Irish hint. She seemed completely oblivious to his larger form and the fact that he seemed, outwardly, like the type who'd want to skin her alive for no good reason. She was totally calm right now. Completely.
Nice.

(( Irish accents are awesome! x3 ))
"Aye, young lad!"
Ark raised his head to acknowledge her presence, his jaded eyes narrowing behind his light blond bangs but he kept silent, the breeze gently combing his fur and his ears occasionally flicking. His frown stayed present on his face as he stood there, observing her.
"Where d'you spring from?"
Ark straightened his back, his tail brushing the grass tips gently. He cleared his throat, "What's it to ya?" He murmured, annoyance dripped from his voice as he stood at least a whole head taller than her. He let out a grunt, "The far North; but it hardly matters, I'm not going back." he muttered darkly, his voice rich and deep which was laced with anger and bitterness; very much the opposite to her playful tone.

(I knowz! ^^ I love accents in general, though. XD)
She chuckled faintly at his harsh tone, amused. Oh, how she loves exiles. So fun and pessimistic and negetive, hating-life-like. And very amusing to annoy with her happy-go-lucky attitude. "I'm not askin' ye to, Grumpy. I was simply wondering abouts of if you planned on findin' a place for yehself 'ere. We've got a lovely little packland 'ere, if you like. And don't worry," She winked, still grinning. "We won't bite."

Ark looked away in though for a moment, her words sinking in. He turned back to her again, His head the same level as hers, "I was thinking of joining up somewhere.. are you an Alpha?" He smirked as he finished the last part, 'Heh, a female as an Alpha? I'd like to see that.' he pondered in his head.
"Are they all as... happy as you?" He asked, his eyes now wondering back over to meet her goldish orbs. He wasn't particularly fond of extremely cheerful souls but if it meant a safe place to stay ten it was better than nothing; he did come here to find another pack after all.

"...are you an Alpha?"
She laughed at the question, eyes alit. "Afraid not, lad. I'm the Beta, with specific permission to accept rascals such as yerself." She paused, frowning slightly at his next words.
"Are they all as... happy as you?"
She sighed, sitting down on the soft grass. "No, lad. Our Alphas are nice enough, aye, but we've been a bit on the edge lately. Most fear invasions from others packs. A steady, headstrong lad like yerself would be nice in our ranks. And in turn, we've shelter for yeh, and food. How's a trade sound?" She offered, accompanied by a faint smile, eyes not as bright as before.

Ark nodded in understanding, joining couldn't be that bad.. could it? Ark released a grunt in agreement, "Fine, but don't expect me to be running up and down the boarders on some ludicrous quest. I'll be there if you need me; not for your entertainment. Thats pretty much my terms; and no pup-sitting." He finished the last part with a smirk, his eyes gleaming. "But otherwise; we're peachy."

She laughed faintly, cheering up even as she stood and turned into the territory, towards camp. "Sounds plenty fair. And don't worry; we don't trust complete stranger 'round our pups, anyway." She started off at an even pace; not too fast, but not a walk either. "Would yeh do well to listen to the rules?"

"Sounds plenty fair. And don't worry; we don't trust complete stranger 'round our pups, anyway."
Ark gave a smirk, quickly catching up with his long strides, his tail flicking behind him. He was beginning to like the female, despite her strange accent and awful cheery tone.
"Would yeh do well to listen to the rules?"
Ark gave a nod but seeing as he was behind her, he spoke up, "Sure." He grunted, his lime eyes scanning the area beneath his blond bangs. He wondered whether he would fit in here or not. 'Meh, who cares? I'm used to it, but if they're all like her then they can't be so bad.'
"I'm Ark by the way; just so you don't have to call me 'thingie' all the time." He smirked, beginning to feel like his old self.

She laughed, looking back at him with warm eyes. "Well met, Ark. I'm Spitfire." She turned her gaze back to the lands ahead as she continued to speak. "Now, about those rules... basically, yeh can do whatever yeh like; just don't kill or be an ass. Well, nevermind, yeh sorta already are..." She teased faintly, grinning back at him. "Oh, and don't go stealin' the femmes around here. We like our freedom." Her tone was obviously teasing, though.

"Well met, Ark. I'm Spitfire."
He smiled and nodded, "Ditto. Class name; any reason for it?" he questioned while licking his lips. He had no idea why he was suddenly opening up to Spitfire; after all he had only knew her for what? 5 minutes?
The smell of Autumn still lingered with the red leaves. Autumn had always reminded him of death for some reason.. probably due to the dead leaves. He turned his attention back to Spitfire as she explained the rules.
"Now, about those rules... basically, yeh can do whatever yeh like; just don't kill or be an ass. Well, nevermind, yeh sorta already are..."
He let out a chuckle at her statement, his eye sparkling, "Sorry, I'm not always like this - an ass I mean." He smirked as they walked, Spitfire slightly ahead leading the way. "So.. who're these other packs that are invading?" He questioned, hoping he didn't hit a sore spot; it was nice to talk openly with someone again.

"Ditto. Class name; any reason for it?"
She shrugged. "Well, I scored some mental scars in my lifetime for a sharp tongue. The name just kinda came about." She grinned, tail wagging faintly. Whoot; the happy trick worked. She rather liked his change in tone from before to now. Made her feel better about his chances of being accepted, as well.
"Sorry, I'm not always like this - an ass I mean."
She let out a false cough, snickering rather wickedly. "Sure yeh don't... and I'm a winged hedgehog." She turned, however, giving him a wink to know she was just kidding. Hee, hee.
"So.. who're these other packs that are invading?"
She let out a sigh, but it was less depressed than before. "It's just the one, is all. BlackShadows. A band of ruthless killers led by an Immortal named Bleaknight." She shook her head faintly at the memory. "He likes to conquer other packs as slowly and painfully as possible. He's already started working on ours. Sent a male after our Alpha's daughter."

"Sure yeh don't... and I'm a winged hedgehog."
Ark released another chuckle, glad that the mood had been lightened, if only for a little while. It felt good to open up again, even with a former stranger. The mood had darkened however, at Spitfire's words,
"It's just the one, is all. BlackShadows. A band of ruthless killers led by an Immortal named Bleaknight."
"He likes to conquer other packs as slowly and painfully as possible. He's already started working on ours. Sent a male after our Alpha's daughter."
Ark frowned and furrowed his brow, deep in thought it appeared. "Bleaknight... I'm sure I've heard that name somewhere on my travels.. its a blur but I have heard rumors about him. None too pleasant of course." Ark muttered in disgust, "But hopefully, security'll be tightened a bit with me around - if I can put up with you lot, that is." He added with a gently teasing smirk and a wink; much like she did before.
"This place much further? From a first glance; you don't look like you have any troubles." He commented lightly but it wasn't long before his mouth broke into a smile, "I'm just teasing, Sweets; don't take it to the heart, kay?" He laughed while they went along. 'Wow, must be the air here or something; I haven't laughed in a long
time.' He pondered in his head while they both strolled on.

(I was about to call Ark really cute, but stopped myself. XD)
Spitfire glanced back at him curiously at his mention of tales of Bleaknight and shrugged. "Don't surprise me much. A wolf like that should be heard of all over the place. He's dangerous." At his other words, however, she heartily laughed, tail wagging more feircely now. "Damn, boyo, you got some sweet tongue there!" She commented, grinning back at him. "Just watch it, though. Some wolves around here are a wee too serious to take a joke."

(( Aww! ;D I almost done the same with Spitfire! xD Then it sorta evolved into flirting. xD ))
"Damn, boyo, you got some sweet tongue there!"
"Just watch it, though. Some wolves around here are a wee too serious to take a joke."
Ark gave her another grin, showing all his teeth, "Awh you know they're all for you, Sweets. Wouldn't dream of sayin' them to someone else, hmm?" He grinned as he flirted, his blond hair once again falling in his vision but was swept aside by the winds when he lent down to whisper them in her ear.
"Haha, just kidding aside, Spitfire; I know when to stop." He assured her, his lime eyes once again shining.
Maybe a bit of company was all he needed after all. His tail also wagging on its own accord reflected his cheery mood.
