The harsh weather of Aelyn was none the harsher at the tip of the mountainsm, what with its blistering winds and icy peaks, yet for some reason the small violet pup failed to feel the cold as she sat upon the little rock. Perhaps it was because she had recently found a group of hot springs heated underwater by the sheer power of the volcano that resided deep within these mountains.
The very rock she was sitting on had been heated by the extreme underground current, and her rump was fairly warm as she sat contently, watching the smoke wisps swirl upwards from the springs as she sat there. She gave a small, happy sigh, glad for once as the warm feeling of the springs echoed throughout her skin and bones.
After a moment, she hopped off of the rock, her paw pads gently skipping across the short grass that had flowered there, and dipped a testing purple paw into the water. Almost immediately she shivered with pleasure. This was an odd feeling. It was warmer than she had first thought.
She deliberated for a while, the pros and cons of taking a dip in the hot spring, she decided she would risk the bitter cold afterwards and take a small swim. Taking a short, quick breath, she screwed her eyes tightly shut and took a running leap into the water. A small splash and a gasp of surprise later, Elva resurfaced, her entire being warmed through with the heated water, her eyes stinging a little from the heat.
She didn't care. This was bliss. It was just deep enough to cover her entire body with the warm water, but shallow enough so that she could just about touch the bottom comfortably. Her ears dragged about in the water, the water ran from her nose in little drips, her breath was short due to the steam but she didn't care. It was so...warm. So....realxing.
At this moment, she didn't care about the struggle for power that her alpha was undertaking in the plains. She didn't care that he had been turnbed into a deadly killing machine. She didn't care that the other packs were massing against him, nor that the loners were forced from their homes and were making their ways across the lands right now.
All she cared about, right here, right now, was the warmth that flooded her little body from head to toe. That was the now and the present. That was all that mattered.

*There is a gentle chuckle from nearby*. Should you choose to look you would see a large somewhat brutish; whiteish, grey wolf sat by the side of the springs where you bathe. It is sat, lieing on its belly. Its forepaws are outstretched before it and are draped slightly over the rim of the great bath. The tail can ocasionally be seen as it swishes steadily from side to side in interest and the deep, bloody eyes stare kindly down at you intently.
Although their colour is alittle disturbing, the kindness that radiates from them and the entire 'air' of the lone wolf is quite reasuring if not a little shocking for the appearance.
*I retreat my forepaws somewhat now, and raise my body slightly off the ground in a tense, almost ready to pounce. I look at though I may jump into the springs myself.
I Instead lean forward and stick my head just over the edge and close my great eyes and smile. I tilt my head from side to side letting the warmth spread evenly, my face betraying my contented mood.*
"Mmmmmm, the warmth is somewhat divine is it not? Hehehe but I must confess the cold is a wonder if for no other reason than that it makes the retreat to the heat so much more joyous." My brief pause having spoken hovers in the air awhile, giving you any time you would like to take, to then back away, attack, retaliate or respond in any way you should wish. Meanwhile my smile simply awaits.
*My ears suddenly perk skywards as my once more opened eyes notice your size and in turn deduce, a rough estimate of your age. I raise my body up further but to show I mean know threat I then, comicaly, and with a small smile, plonk my rear end on the warm rocks. Upon speaking once more I keep my tone dignified and friendly, wishing no feel of threat nor alarm.*
"I'll not question your intellect and assume you lost but, well it Is frightfully cold as I'm very sure you are aware... I am myself heading towards the mountains and would be very greatful to you if you could and would show me the way to proceed to the nearby pack dens.
In return you may use my bodyheat to give warmth to your journey and of course we can leave when you are entirely ready."[/b]
*I lean forward alittle more, lowering myself once more into a lieing possition, showing my willingness to wait, eben for a great length of time. I smile softly and charmingly to you while I await your chosen reply.*

Elva smiled as she slipped her body under the water, her violet fur darkening in the springs. Dust and snow melted away and drifted to the surface of the springs as she dipped her head under for a moment, opening her mauve eyes and holding her breath under the water. The liquid was hot against her eyes but she didn't mind, she simply admired the little stream of bubbles echoeing up from her mouth. Closing her eyes, she rose from the water slowly, sighing with contentment.
A sound made her ears prick up to the left, and she glanced over, seeing the whitish brute regarding her. She was a little taken aback at being caught so relaxed, her startled eyes quickly feigning anger in her expression. She backed away, using her paws to doggypaddle backwards. Though this male clearly meant no harm, she wouldn't take any chances until he had proved himself a friend or otherwise.
She dipped her head respectfully as he spoke, offering her his warmth in exchange for her guidance. No wonder she had been caught off guard; his scent was unfamiliar to her sensitive little nose as he was a loner. Added to her relaxation in the warm springs and she could have been jumped easily. In a way she was glad that this loner happened to be a kind soul...perhaps.
Taking a deep and steady breath, she trod water for a little while, trying to make herself look calm and regard him without fear. Hopefully it was working so far.
"That would be...nice" She said finally, licking her lips apprehensively.
"May I ask, kind sir what your name is? And if it is the pack of the Mountains that you seek, I assume it is, otherwise you would not be here, out so far off the beaten track?" Her tail tracked circles in the hot water lazily, her soothing bath forgotten in the light of this new stranger.

My smile continues and if anything broaden further. This pup was already earning a fondness in my heart and the warmth radiating from her was something truely adorable. The love within me swelled and my fur seemed to bristle contendly with this glowing feeling. *I open my eyes and gaze at you kindly and with great respect and follow this with a bow of my own great head to retun the honour before opening my jaws to speak again.*[/i]
"Well I am very glad that my abnormal bodyheat can provide an acistance for you dear lady. My name is Anubis, you may call me what you wish and you are correct, it is the pack of the Mountains of which I seek. Though it is not near to my homeland the terrain is not dis-similar and I find myself very at home already".[/b] Should you care to notice you would see my coat is indeed thickly suited to the harsher climates and my body language gives away nothing to signify that I might be cold. *I stand once more but keep myself friendly and unthreatening. My smile continues and my eyes are calm. My tail idly swishing showing still my interest and also justifying that I honestly wouldn't mind another name.*[/i]
"I have but two requests. One. What would you wish that I call you dear lady? And Two. Would it bother you if I were to join you in this great bath before we travel? You are welcome to get out first should you prefer it."[/b]

The pup regarded this new stranger with the normal curiousity of a pup, yet with the abnormal sense of a fisherman having come across a breed of fish he had never experienced before, and wondering if it would make a good meal. However this pup would intend no harm to the loner, she could not doll out any pain. There was only pain in the things she said, never in the actions she took. She thought she might die if she ever physically hurt anybody. She didn't think her body would allow it, nor her special...gift.
She dipped her head again, warming it up after his last sentence. She stayed under for a while, deliberating. Obviously if this bulky loner wolf had wanted to harm her, he would have done so already. His offer stood, it was a welcoming offer, and if he was to join the pack anyway then it would be a well sought out offer. Perhaps she would even be respected a little. She had showed the loner Echosong to the pack, this would have been her second loner guided to the pack. Perhaps she would even make a name for herself.
Respect was always good, especially with those that would not respect her normally, because of her size and supposed age. She may have been only a season or so in physique, but her mind was by far more developed than that. Her power kept her young, but for what reason she did not know. Perhaps it was because a pup was so much easier to trust.
"I am known as Elva. Well, that is my name. And you may join me...Anubis" She smiled a little, chuckling a humourless laugh. She didn't mind at all, after all, what had she too fear in a mere bath? Almost playfully, she swept a careless paw forwards, sending a tiny wave in the loners direction. This was certainly unlike her, but there was something about this stranger that sparked an animatedness inside her, something that she thought she had lost the moment she was born. Perhaps there was some hope for her after all...

*I smile down at you warmly and feel the love swell in my chest. I feel the pride of a father, the protective instincts of a brother and above all of that the unconditional love for this newcomer in my life.*
As my heartbeat quickens as does my body temperature rise a few notches and the swelling of my emotions rushes across me like a fever. A cat might purr but I only smiled calmly, making sure to remain dignified.
*My tail swish as Little more speedy now but remains under control as always. I then lower myself forwards and paw by calculating paw, I make my way towards you, immersing myself completely in the warmth of the springs embrace. I allow myself to melt just alittle with the sense of bliss that continues to wash over me but I make sure not to let my manners fall behind. Having fully acclimatised to the new temperature of my surroundings I wade over to you and sit only a few paws away but out of my reach so as not to raise alarm or intervene with your personal space. I finally look at you and meet your gaze eye, to eye bowing my head as I do so to show my thoughts of respect and equality to you.* The water came up lower on me than it would've most due to my larger than average size and I allow my ears to relax as I laugh at this. My attention returns to you with another warm smile
"Elva... A beautiful name dear lady and one I hope never to have the opportunity to forget. Thank-you very much for allowing me into your waters, they are already putting my mind into a sleep that I fear I shall have to kick myself out of.. Unless I could rely on your assistance.[/b]
*I lower my head at this point and closing my eyes I submerge it completely, at the same time pushing towards you sending a little wave towards you to return the favour before once more returning to my sat position and to throw in another smile. Showing no hurry to leave I say politely*[/i] "We may leave whenever you are ready."[/b]

Echosong still hasn't been fully accepted into the pack, but she still considered herself a member. So far she only knows three wolves; Elva, Kavu, and Fae. She was an explorer, so she decided to leave the pack area to wander the lands of the mountains. Luckily she had a thick and well kempt fur for the harsh winter weather that the mountains can deal out. But today was not one of those days, snow wasn't falling, the wind wasn't blowing and the sun was out, even though it would have little to no affect on the ice.
Echo kept walking; every now and then she would glance around, simply taking in her surroundings. The femme didn't care where she was going at the moment, all she knew was that she was in the territory claimed the Mitsuteriasu Pack.
She perked her ears...there were sounds from up ahead. Echo slowly stalked closer. Once she got to the point to where she could hear the sounds completely, she recognized them as voices. One of the barks cam from a pup, which sounded like Elva, so Echo stuck to that guess. The other voice was from a brute, and he had a scent that's not from this area. She stopped and thought 'Should I really bother those two? The brute doesn't seem, in least bit of way, harmful to Elva.' She shook her head and continued forwards.In Leaf-Bare there wasn't much to hide behind, so she thought she might as well just introduce herself.
Once over the hill, Echosong almost tripped over her own paws. There, sitting in the hot springs with Elva, was the brute, whom was pretty damn hot! She tried her best not to look like a fool. She turned her head to Elva and smiled. "Hey, Elva."[/color] Then she turned to the cute looking wolf sitting next to the pup, and all Echo could muster was a simple smile and a shy 'hey.' After a few seconds the femme turned her head back to the velvet pup and asked. "Do you mind if I join you, two?"[/color]

*My ears prick up immediately as the sound of another creature fumbled it's way through the snow. I stand, my eyes calm but with a slight chill of purpose in them now. I swerve 180 degrees to face the newcomer. A female by the smell of her, a stunning one at that. I stood perfectly still.* Though my pose was in no way threatening towards this new acquaintance I make it very clear with my calculating gaze and my position between her and the pup that I was ready to fight should she prove a threat to Elva and myself.
This demeanor was quickly removed at the mention of Elva's name coming straight from this femme. My alerted ears fell flat and my tense body eased. Now all that remained was a somewhat awkward silence and the soft *drip* *drip* *drip* of the water falling from my fur. *I smile warmly and apologetically towards the femme in acknowledgement of her soft word. I then bow my head.*[/i]
"I sincerely apologies ma'am if my impulsiveness caused any offense. I can only go to explain that I wished to protect Elva from any danger. She is truely wonderful as I'm sure you are already aware." *My eyes glisten as the words 'impulsive' and 'danger' escape my jaws. I then turned to smile down adoringly at Elva before returning my gaze and giving a kind and charming smile to you.*[/i] "And providing it does not go against her wishes you are more than welcome to join us."[/b] My smile widens softly.

The rocks underfoot were smooth from the wearing down by the hot springs. As Elva's head drifted backwards into the water she heard the distant clicks of her small claws sliding against the rock. She was glad in part that the springs were not any deeper than now otherwise she might be having trouble with staying above water. She smiled slightly as Anubis stepped into the water, feeling the ache in her gut subside as his own aches and pains were soothed by the flow of the hot waters.
A rustle of frozen leaves and a familiar scent drifted towards her nose. The young pup started, opening her violet eyes just in time to see Echosong emerge through the steam. She felt a pang of guilt - as the fae's guide she should have led her to the mountains, after they were separated Elva always assumed that Echosong had moved on and joined another pack. Apparently not.
"Hello Echosong, it would be nice of you to join us. You are well I trust?" She spoke slowly and deliberately, raising herself up out of the water to dip her head respectfully towards the older fae. She quirked an eyebrow at Anubis' comment; was she truly remarkable? She saw none of it, but she said nothing, merely waited for Echosong to join them in the springs.
"I thought perhaps you had thought the Mountains pack not for you Echosong, and that you had joined another.." She said, casting a small glance in her direction. Her tone was nonchalent, not asking of anything but also not giving anything away.
"I have offered Anubis a way to the den area, I can show you also...if you'd still like that..." It was the mauve pups way of saying she was sorry; she truly did feel guilty for leaving Echosong, it must have been awful wandering around on lands she didn't know nor belong to, fearful of what might happen. She would make amends soon, and take them both straight to Tola or Crow; whomever she encountered first.

The warm water was gentle to the touch and caressing Anubis and Elva as they bathed, the waters inviting him once more to sit, this he succumbed to without hesitation once his mind and fur had been allowed, once more, to rest. His merry and charming smile was calm once more as the waters lapped his great body. His eyes radiating his inner warmth and as he gazed between the two delightful characters he had met he rested his eyes once more on the new fea.
"Echosong... my you do both have such charming names. Forgive my dis-courtesy and please feel welcome to join us as I know it would bother none of us to keep your company. And when we make our walk you are, of course, more than welcome to join us then. I have been blessed with a rather high emitting body temperature and was explaining to Elva that she would be at liberty to use it to her advantage. What is more, I have enough to share amoung the three of us, if you wish it. Now... is there a name that you would wish me to call you?"[/b]
His smile was divine and his posture inviting and his eyes, they glistened as the light rippled off the water and shimered across his fur. He closed them then and tilted his head letting the feather earpiece fall onto his shoulder and his neck ring to chime melodically as the water trickled over their bodies.
((OOC: The two jewelery pieces I'll buy from the shop but as he's always had them I've put them in ^^ (pics of feather earpiece is on his charri page, necklace will be drawn at some point in the future.) ))

The day was beginning to get on, with the sun high in the sky already and the coldness of the day set out, Elva thought perhasps her relaxing soak should come to an end. If she got too relaxed she may forget to ever return ot the den area. She may even forget ever to return again. Then again, death was also so very relaxing wasn't it?
However her power, her...gift, god forbid, would not allow it. She could not physically hurt anyone in any way. Sure she could hurt them with words and snide remarks, but physically? No. she was a protector and pain was not her agenda. Pain for others anyway. her life was one big fiery ball of it. Not that she was bitter, well not that she was bitter all the time. Just most of the time.
It seemed she was relaxed enough, her slightly achey muscles were perfectly fine now, and she was good and warmed up from the bathe in the hot springs. Pulling her lithe form from the water, she shook herself off delicately, for ocne glad that the springs were shrouded in steam as the steamitself was quite hot. She should dry off quick enough. Then it was her job to lead these two loners down to the den area.
"Once I am dry and you are rested we may head out. For the now, I shall wait for you. Echosong, if you wish to replenish yourself, feel free to use the springs. If not I shall heal your aches and pains" Her childish voice spoke, again too intelligent for what would appear to be her age but that was the thing with Elva. She was one wierd puppy.

Anubis smiled pleasantly as he followed Elva out of the springs, waiting to the side while she exited first. His paws landed on the edge of the bath and he heaved his grand body out of the waters with ease. His smile remained as though it would never be without him has he stretched a little before sitting slowly upon one of the heated rocks to help with the drying process as he remained un phased by the cold air. Anubis turned his head from Echosong down to the very grown up Elva and he smiled kindly at her, full of adoration for this intelligent cub, so smart beyond her years. After a while to allow Elva time to dry Anubis once more, slowly rose to his great height, supported by his large paws and muscular legs. He raises his head and closed his eyes blissfully enjoying the feel of the steam upon his face. He then turned his charming gaze back to the little cub, and he spoke.
“I am ready to proceed to the dens though I am prepared to wait if you wish to stay at all longer. Ms Elva, would you like me to carry you? You may direct me and it will put less pressure onto your paws, you’re looking a little tired and I would consider myself an awful gentleman without at least offering a lady a ride. If so, would you like me to pick you up by the neck? Or would you prefer to ride on my back? I assure you I will do everything to avoid causing you pain and neither option will burden me so, what would you require?”[/b]
=] Anubis' ears sudenly perk up once more as a thought crosses his mind. He smiles kindly as his gaze falls upon that of the other fea.
“If you wish Ms Echosong it would be perfectly plausable for me to carry also, should you wish it. Do you need or want my assistance?”[/b]

Watching the two older wolves, Elva took the time to shake herself dry, her deep mauve fur poofing up slightly before she smoothed it down herself with her little paws. Licking her paw she smoothed down the little ruff of fur she always had upon her forehead, arranging it just so that her silvery star marking was not so obvious in the light. Though she wasn't exactly ashamed of the marking, it was a bit of a slap in the face and she didn't like people staring at it.
She leant backwards, little rump waggling for a spring up before leaping onto a fairly large rock that overlooked the mountain territories. From here she could easily see the mountain paths that packmembers could take to and from the mountain peaks. Her agile mind quickly calculated the fastest route back to the dens before nightfall; if she timed it right they should arrive just before sunset, which would give them both time to introduce themselves to either Tola or Crow, whomever was present at the time of their arrival. Turning herself around, she cocked her head at Anubis' suggestion. Taking a gander at the path she had picked out for them, though it was pretty easy going it was long and winding and they would probably have to stop for a rest once or twice, more if she was walking on her own four paws. After a few moments she nodded her head graciously.
"That would be an excellent idea. I'll be less of a burden for you both if we don't have to stop at every twist and turn for me to rest my feet...that is if you don't mind? I'll be on your back of course, guiding you every step of the way" Her tail curled and swished unconsciously as she spoke, and now it circled around her front paws, keeping them in check.

The great male’s heart grew with affection even further and he wondered if such an affinity to love could be why he was so very large, how else could one accommodate such feelings without exploding due to such vast and immense exertion of the body, heart and mind. He laughed very softly to himself at the nonsense that was this notion before turning his adoring smile from one fae to the next while the little lady spoke. His crimson blood eyes were warm and the silver cuts to the iris glistened as his ears took in her delicate words. His tail swayed and his stature was grand but he was never intimidating or self regarding as the fae’s superior. They were his equals. They deserved respect like any other and so Anubis waited.
Upon her request he smiled all the more before bowing his great head and then proceeded to lower his massive form until he was as low as he could be, his stomach touching the cold earth. A sensation that sent a tingling shiver across the entirety of his form. This widened his joyous expression and with that he fully allowed himself to sprawl across the ground in the most gentlemanly fashion possible while then curving his head round to offer aid to Elva should it still be needed to reach the heights that are his back. His eyes surveyed her where she sat, so young yet so beautiful and sharp and with such charming etiquette that Anubis could feel his love for this land and its wolves grow more and more. She would make a most charming lady for someone one day and he knew he would make sure that her suitor was indeed worthy of this little treasure. He moved his head up a little from its position as a booster step to one where he could lick her with his fondness should she allow it. As such his maw parted and he spoke is lyrical prose.
“Dear Ms Elva your words as my guide could be nothing more stunning than that nova that rests so perfectly upon you.”[/b]
He waited for Elva to climb up before he would rise then to his former height with a mauve pup resided between his shoulder blades, free to move to wherever was most comfortable for her before he would then make ready himself for the upcoming walk.
“So my dear friends, shall we proceed?”[/b] =]
