Reaching out, the young woman placed her hand against the cold stone that was the home of the Unknown Solider. Sad orbs gazed at the stone structure, while her mind raced with wonder and longing both for herself and the unknown person within. Any type of conclusion would have been nice in her life, even something as simple as she knew whether she would be sleeping in a clean bed or out in the forest with Vormund again.

Pulling her depressing thoughts from her 'taken a turn for the worse' life, Keal glanced down at the Tibetan Mastiff that was sitting not even a hands breath from her. He was a massive creature, long fluffy black fur with dark tan marking at his muzzle, chest, and paws. The dog was smart, she would give him that, he seemed to put up with her whenever she shifted forms and even ran with her whenever she wanted a hunting partner. Sitting back on his haunches, as he was currently, his head came up just past her belt.

"We need to find a better place to hang out," Keal mentioned to the mastiff, though he simply looked up at her like she was retarded. Before being bitten, it seems Keal had trained the guard dog in German and he knew no English commands or anything. Shaking her head, Keal turned away from the Unknown Solider structure and moved toward the outdoor theater. Vormund moved right along with her, no leash, only a massive, black leather collar around his neck marked him as an owned dog and not a stray. Once she arrived at the theater, she let her senses roam, trying to find out if anyone was there. Once she found she was in the clear, she made her way to the seats and sat down. Vormund trotted over to her and lay down at her feet, crossed his paws, and placed his massive head on his paws and her boot. At least it was dry and comfortable, she could rest for a moment.

Ice had been hunting, of course in her wolf form, her white paws hitting the ground as she chased down rabbits and other living creatures for her pack and herself. Icy blue eyes locked onto her next target as it dashed from side to side, trying to escape the up-coming death that was right over it's shoulder. Within minutes, Ice had her catch and was heading back to her log house. She kept all of the food that she caught from the hunts here, stored for the winter or whenever Lucas decided it was time for a feast, and by then Ice and her hunting patrol would be out and reach for the kill.

A warm shower over with and new clothes that weren't shattered and torn, Ice headed back out to the world. Her black and silver hair up in a high ponytail and icy blue eyes lined with black eyeliner, making them pop out. With everything in the clear, Ice left her log house, got into her car and headed back into town and towards Coral Park where she would be able to relax..for once. Once she arrived at the park, she started to walk towards the theater, sunglasses covering her eyes as she entered the building. Her black boots hitting the ground with only a soft thud, a thud that only werewolves would be able to hear.

Sitting in the back of the theater, Ice closed her eyes and let her senses roam. She wasn't alone. Standing up, Ice walked down to where the other girl was at and sat behind her. Ice's sense of smell told her, this one was a werewolf, and with a dog. "Nice dog you have there. What's his name?" she asked for once, wanting to be casual instead of straightforward and rude.

Vormund slowly lifted his head, muzzle lifting with what seemed great effort, it seemed, the rumbling growl echoing in the mastiff as he glared at the woman behind them. He didn't jump up, didn't move past growling. "Halten Vormund,"

[/color] Keal growled, eyes flashing as she turned to find the female werewolf perched above her on the seats. Just like Vormund, she had been paying attention to that which was before her and hadn't been paying much attention to what was behind her.

"He's a Tibetan Mastiff,"[/color] she stated, reaching out and finding Vormund's head up and resting on her thigh. "I'm not meaning to trespass . . . I just wanted to stretch my legs,"[/color] she said, nose picking up the scent of the pack markers on the girl.[/size][/blockquote]

Ice noticed the dog lifting up his muzzle before a rumble of growling escaped. "He is a beautiful dog." she said, hearing the growl escaping the girl and her eyes flashing. Ice smiled slightly, her own icy blue eyes flashing at the girl. If the stranger planned to attack, it would be a very surprising and interesting fight. Blinking, Ice saw the girl pet the dog before speaking about not meaning to trespass onto Lucas' territory. "And I mean no harm when I came over here. As long as you haven't done anything to harm my pack, you'll be fine." Ice said, a slow smile forming on her face.

When she backed down and found that the girl also meant her no harm, Keal glanced at Vormund. "Platz," she commanded, satisfied when the mastiff slowly lowered himself back to the ground, though his gaze never left the other female. Turning back to slightly younger looking female, Keal looked her over. She was smaller than herself, but not by much, her hair a little shorter than her own, with blue eyes. From her position below her, she could barely make out a thin scar running around the girl's neck and she couldn't imagine how the girl had gotten such a thing, but knew that if it had scarred her like that, then it couldn't have been good.

Tearing her eyes away from the girl's appearance, she held out her hand, not really sure how werewolves were really suppose to greet each other. "Call me Keal . . . And that's Vormund . . . . So you're really part of the pack here?"

[/color] she asked, really curious about it. Eclipse had told her that she would be welcomed back at his pack, but she had declined, wanting to see what else the world had to offer. Learning about the other big pack in the area seemed interesting.[/size][/blockquote]

Ice studied the girl, just like the girl happened to be studying Ice. Her eyes looked over to the mastiff before her eyes went back to the girl. She spoke German, Ice could see that much, with hair just a bit lighter than Ice's. Ice's icy blue eyes locked onto the girls brown ones. Though Ice couldn't help but notice that the girls brown eyes lingered on her neck, perhaps looking at her scar and wondering how she had gotten. Simple. Ice had been attacked by a hunter, his rope got wrapped around her neck, cut her neck and, knowing Ice, allowed it to grow into a scar than heal it probably.

Looking down at the girls hand, Ice leaned forward and shook it before looking back up to the girl. "Ice. It's nice to meet both of you, and yes I'm part of the pack here. My brother is the Alpha." she said, seeing the curiosity practically evaporate from Keal in front of her. Though Ice could still fear the gaze of Vormund looking at her, Ice didn't let it faze her. He was just a dog, a mastiff, and she was a werewolf. More than likely, just as strong as the mastiff if she allowed it. "What brings you here, Keal? It's not very often that a stranger walks into Validus territory."

Her brother was the Alpha? As she pulled her hand back, Keal suddenly wasn't so sure about whether or not she really needed to be here, sitting here with an Alpha's sister, in an open place where she was starting to panic. Her breathing starting coming in short gasps and she could feel her her nails sharpening.

Suddenly, Vormund lunged up and grabbing onto Keal's fingers, nipping her and bringing her back to Earth. "Danke Süße Ein," she whispered, hand, with normal nails once more, wrapping in the mastiff's fur. Tearing her eyes from the dog, she glanced back at Ice. "Guess you would call us a zwei of nomads. . . . . I was . . . . I was bitten,"

[/color] her voice suddenly dropped and Vormund tensed, eyes flashing back and forth, seemingly searching for the mythical creature that had harmed what he considered his. The mastiff stood, front paws rising until he was standing beside Keal's legs, a slight rumble echoing from the dog's throat. "When I gained enough control . . . I found the Alpha Male of the pack in Eden Town and he helped me even more. After I felt . . . somewhat normal again, I left, wanting to see the world, I guess. . . . And I stopped here and just haven't moved on yet,"[/color] she stated, not sure why she felt ten times better after talking, but Vormund was relaxing so she felt good.[/size][/blockquote]

[Azuki Navaaha]

Ice could hear her breathing being to come in short gasps and Ice slowly leaned up, getting a tad worried about the girl in front of her. Until Vormund lunged and nipped at the girl and Ice's canines grew sharper before she took control of herself. Ice hardly lost control, but the dog was slightly throwing her off guard. She wasn't sure if Vormund was going to harm her or not, but at what she could tell that the dog was really protective about the...bitten female?

"We have many bitten werewolves in our pack. And any are free to join, just find Lucas or Larysa." she said, leaning back a bit. Her ice blue eyes going to the mastiff as he tensed and looked around. He seemed to be looking for something, or someone. "Eclipse is a good Alpha. Him and my brother are close friends, when there isn't any trouble. I've been to Eden Town once, for a celebration, otherwise I stay here. You are welcomed to stay in Bucharest as long as you like."

Keal noticed Ice tensing and relaxing and her eyes trailing Vormund. Glancing toward the dog, she looked back at the werewolf and understood her confusion. "If he makes you uncomfortable I can send him away,"

[/color] she stated, head slightly cocked to the side.[/size][/blockquote]

[Azuki Navaaha]

Ice shook her head in disagreement. "No, he is fine. I'm not used to other animals such as dogs. As long as he doesn't attack me, he will be fine." she said, smiling slightly. Ice liked dogs...sometimes. She admired Keal's dog, he was big that was for sure. Ice sighed, and closed her eyes. "Would you like to meet my brother, or explore the territory?"

Keal nodded. Eclipse hadn't been comfortable around Vormund, but he had pretty much said the same thing. "He didn't like Eclipse much . . . I think because the Alpha was to much like a wolf,"

[/color] she stated, the name of the Alpha causing the mastiff to growl low. Reaching out, she wrapped one arm around the dog's neck loosely and he leaned into her. "I don't really remember much before I was bitten, but Vormund's been with me since it happened and even though he's probably been rougher with me than he would have been before hand, he's been the one constant thing that I can remember,"[/color] she stated, so happy that she still had him.

Yet, at the mention of meeting her brother, Keal almost panicked. Without having to have Vormund calm her, she did it herself. Taking a deep breath, closing her eyes for a moment to breath and remember that she wasn't having to compete nor was she having to defend herself. Ice had welcomed her and though she was a little iffy about Vormund, she hadn't asked that she send him away.

Slowly, opening her eyes, and nodded her head. "It wouldn't be right for me to stay here without introducing myself to the Alpha. I just didn't know how I would go about meeting him . . . Eclipse was easy, he found me in the woods, . . . This place is a little different,"[/color] she stated, looking around the park. The city behind and around it was a lot different than the small Eden Town.[/size][/blockquote]

[Azuki Navaaha]

Ice glanced down at the mastiff as he growled low at the name of Eclipse. She smiled slightly at the dog, and leaned forward a bit, "I've only met Eclipse a few times. Each time, he seemed more wolf than human to me." she stated, agreeing with Keal. Even Lucas would agree with both females, he was a bit uncomfortable with the Alpha himself, but honestly, Ice was impressed that he hid it so well. Ice moved her eyes to Keal, "Then he is a loyal mastiff." she said, reaching over to the mastiff so that he could sniff her hand. She wanted to show the dog that Ice wasn't going to hurt his owner. Keal hadn't done anything wrong, so Ice wasn't going to hurt her.

Ice smiled slightly, "Lucas would more than likely find you sooner or later. He usually does find strangers within 48 hours. Luckily, you found his sister first and I would gladly take you to meet him." she stated, "Only if you want to though." Ice added, moving back and letting her gaze lay on both Keal and Vormund.

I'm walking through the park, slowly, kicking the occasional rock with my work boot. I'm really bored. And it's really obvious. As I walk on the path, it's painfully clear that I'm by far much taller than any other person in my viewing range. I was just about to give up on finding something to do here when I catch an interesting scent. Well, three to be more exact. There was a scent of a dog--a big one too--, a girl--one in which was unfamiliar to me--, and then another. The last is a very familiar scent as I smell it all the time. Ice Storm, my Alpha's sister. I flare my nostrils and follow the scents to a theater. Finally. Something to do. I walk in to find that Ice is talking to a beautiful woman with a huge dog. It would scare me if I didn't like dogs so much. Anyway, I walk over to them and stand at the mouth of the row. I tried not to intrude on their conversation but it was quite difficult to keep my hearing in check so I ended up listening and realizing there was a chance this beautiful female might be joining our pack. Interesting. I wait until Ice finishes talking before I take one hand out of my pocket and wave. Hey Ice. Great to see you again. Then I turn my attention to the beautiful female Ice was talking to. Hello. My name is Shane. May I ask who you may be, miss? I smile at her and look at the dog. Usually dogs love me. But this one seems to be protective so I'm curious to see how it will react to me.

[Azuki Navaaha]

Ice had just finished talking, a familiar scent crossed her nose. One that was familiar to her constantly. She smelled it every day because this person, was a part of her pack. No, a part of her brothers pack. She looked up and saw Shane wave at her before he turned his attention to Keal. "Pleasure to see you again as well, Shane. Come and have a seat, I'm just talking to my friend Keal here." she said, giving Keal a friendly smile. She saw the Mastiff watch Shane and felt a tense in her body form.

When Ice leaned forward to let Vormund sniff her, Keal was a little uncomfortable. It had been a pretty long time since someone else had come that close to the mastiff that traveled with her. Watching as the mastiff seemed to cock his head to the side, regarding the other female werewolf. She could see the dog considering Ice, whether he was considering biting her or just ignoring her, she wouldn't be sure because before she knew it, Vormund turned from Ice, muzzle lifted and a low, rumbling growl rolling out.

The arrival of the new male caused Keal to tense, but a flare of her nostrils let her know that he was also a werewolf, and seemed to be apart of Ice's brother's pack. Reaching out, she grabbed Vormund's collar as the mastiff took a threatening step toward the male. "Nein, er ist nicht hier, um jemanden zu verletzen,"

[/color] she growled at the dog, while he continued to growl at the male that identified himself as Shane. Her voice seemed to calm the dog, but his audits were still pinned back and there was a low rumble in his throat.

Once the male joined them on them by sitting down, Vormund's temper jumped and Keal had to throw her arms around the mastiff's neck and lock them. "Nein!! Sitz!"[/color] she growled, pulling the mastiff into a sitting position and forcing him to sit. Though he tried to fight her, he ended up listening to her. "I do apologize . . . He's been trained as a guard dog and doesn't seem to like male werewolves . . . It looks like we'll need to work on that,"[/color] she stated. "Call me Keal,"[/color] she stated, liking this male's smile, but she didn't get to enjoy it for long as Vormund started growling again. "Verreisen!" she ordered, orbs flashing as she glared at the mastiff. In a matter of minutes, Vormund had his head lowered and was sulking away. Of course, he didn't go far, he only walked far enough away that he wasn't right under Keal's feet. Once away, he lowered himself to the ground and lay his head on his paws.[/size][/blockquote]
