Icy Heart ((Open))

[CursedErin]

Jynx shivered as the cool winter air blew through her fur. She had a look of displeasure on her face as she bit against the inside of her cheek. The she-wolf hated the Winter, if only there was a way to change that. Though she was sure Winter had its uses and benefits, she couldn't find any. Useless snow, ice covering water, prey becoming scarcer and harder to find. Even certain pathways become nearly impassable due to the snow and Winter gales! Oh how she hated it! Still, she didn't know where to go for now,
a bit lost and wondering if a pack would be the next place she called home, or a few idiots that she managed to manipulate. Whatever the case may be, she seemed to come to a stop and look around her for a moment.

She recalled the area she was in, but the snow had ruined it. What she thought was the once beautiful Lunar Meadow, was now covered in the nasty blanket of snow that coated everything. "Tch... Stupid season." She complained aloud a bit as she looked around. Some of the tree limbs looked ready to collapse under the weight of the heavy snow, and it seemed that no ground was missing even the smallest bit of the frozen water. Jynx sighed a bit and tilted her head back to look at the sky to get an idea of what the weather might be like today.

Of course, it was always going to be freezing cold around this time of the year. Though today there was an overcast, Jynx couldn't quite tell if it looked like there would be an precipitation or not. Being stuck in a valley during a snow storm could prove to be fatal,
if one didn't have a place to hide from the storm. The she-wolf shivered again and continued to plow onward, lifting her paws up and over the snow with each step, more than ready for Winter to be over.

Zoey was walking around marveling at the snow. Every now and then she would stick her tongue out to catch a snowflake on it. She was still very much like a pup and enjoyed it. Her white fur allowed her to blend in with the blanket of white covering the ground. Hearing a distinctly feminine voice proclaiming the stupidity of winter jerked her from her trance. She hadn't seen another living being in ages. She was curious about this one out in such cold weather. It was odder if the wolf didn't like the snow like she herself did. She picked up her pace to see if she could catch up with the wolf.

She made out a figure ahead of her walking. Unfortunately, Zoey could not tell if a wolf was friendly or not simply by the way they walked. She decided to take a chance anyway. "Hey!" She called out to the stranger but sat down in the snow immediately after. The wolf wouldn't see her unless it moved much closer. Once again she was thankful for her white fur. The creamy beige highlights would give her away if any one got close enough but from a distance, she was perfectly concealed.

The wolf had sounded annoyed earlier and that worried Zoey. She didn't want to make an enemy yet because that might ruin everything. She stayed perfectly still staring at the whirling snowflakes in front of her muzzle.

[CursedErin]

The blue colored she-wolf stuck out like a sore thumb against the white canvas behind her. Her ears shot up straight as she heard a voice call out to her. Immediately she started to switch to her faux charms and mannerisms. Her legs bowed in a bit closer to one another as she looked around for where the voice had come from. It was difficult to see at first, and Jynx had mistaken the other wolf for a dirty patch of snow upon seeing the white and tan spotted female.

Again faking some, trying to appeal to the nicer sides of a wolf's heart. She shook a little, perhaps trying to feign fear, or being cold. Her fur was rather short and offered little protection from the snow, and she did even think it a bit chilly.

Once the deceiver flattened her ears back against her head she'd call out towards the other wolfess. "H-Hello..?" She murmured back, even pretending to look around to find Zoey. It was all just a ruse as usual though, but Jynx enjoyed it, and if often get her things that she wanted in her own special little way. She'd continue to look around for the source of the voice, only letting her eyes settle on Zoey for less than a second before looking elsewhere, pretending still that she didn't see her. To even further drive her point, the blue she-wolf crouched a bit lower towards the snow, taking a defensive stance.

[Argus]

Zoey didn't trust this wolf. Any one who could change their posture so quickly was not to be trusted. Most wolves would wait and see if the one they were facing was friendly or not. This wolf was odd and not in a way that Zoey cared for. She didn't see any reason to feel sorry for the wolf. She stood up and moved closer to the wolf so she could see it better.

"Hello." She didn't offer up her name or ask the other wolf's name because she didn't trust the stranger and was uncomfortable prying without having any reason to. She was curious though and not one deterred easily.

"Why are you out in the snow? You're obviously cold and don't have much fur to warm you." Zoey fastened her gaze on the blue wolf and let in stay there for a minute then looked towards the snow covered meadow she had wandered into.

[CursedErin]

The evil wolf finally let her eyes settle in on Zoey once she stood up and started to move. For her reaction,
she'd dip her head down in a nervous manner while the white and tan she-wolf stepped closer, offering a hello, and soon following it up with a question.

'Thanks for stating the obvious...' She thought to herself, scanning over Zoey as she tried to think of her next move. She'd continue to go on with her current ploy. "I... Don't really have anywhere to go." She replied meekly, though her words for once were actually true. Jynx didn't have anywhere to go, she had been wandering and unsure of a place to stick. "So I figured I'd try and go to an area I remembered is all..." The blue wolf muttered, carefully sitting back onto her haunches and crossing one front paw over the other.

Her head still seemed to be ducked down a little bit as she played innocent. Though, this time around she was innocent, no false words as of yet, and no malicious intent in her mind. At least... Not currently.

[Argus]

"In the winter? Now that was smart of you." Zoey didn't mean to be rude but this wolf was acting suspicious and Zoey didn't trust her. And she realized that she was stating what was plain to see but she was the only one making any effort to talk. The she wolf was still trying to act helpless. And for all Zoey knew she just might be helpless but she couldn't bring herself to believe that that all was as it seemed. She could be dense at times but there were times... She inwardly shook her head. Enough of these thoughts. Zoey scanned the area once again but found nothing except snow and the other wolf. "I'm sorry if I was crass. I find it odd that you would choose to come to this place during snow fall."

[CursedErin]

Jynx was close to losing her act as Zoey spoke so abruptly to her. The devilish she-wolf didn't often lose her cool, but sarcasm was a good way to put her over the edge. Especially if the sarcasm was meant to mock her. Just as she had readied to speak, Zoey apologized and the blue ears flattened back against Jynx's skull once again.

"I-I... Suppose it is rather odd... But again, I don't really know anywhere that would be safe, save for my old home..." She started her sentence off strong and then purposely trailed it off at the end, curling her tail around the side of her flank. "I'm sorry too!" She jumped up, appearing like she had a need to apologize. "I don't mean to worry any wolf out here... Just looking for a place to... Belong I suppose." Jynx said. At this point she wasn't even sure what words were truthful and which were not. Either way, they were said. Though she likely knew she didn't 'fit in' with Zoey, and instead saw her as a potential means of getting what she wanted.

DarkMoon padded along the forest path. He was out on a mission... A mission to find food. Despite the harsh conditions outside, he was determined to keep himself alive. He sees two female wolves in a clearing. DarkMoon sneaks over and hides in some nearby bushes, where he watches with his captivating light blue eyes. He thought to himself "I sense that one of these two wolves are evil... but which one? I sense very little danger but the cold is getting to me." DarkMoon then says to himself "why does today have to be the coldest day of the year? I'm f-f-f-freezing my t-t-t-tail off..."

[Argus]

This wolf got the impression that Zoey was worried about her. That was funny. In truth, this she wolf had not given Zoey any reason to worry about her. "Then rest assured blue one that you have not caused any one such emotional stress. And if you're looking for some place to belong it would be best to find a pack that suits you. Otherwise, it would be inadvisable to try in the dead of winter." She stopped there because she was bordering on prying as well as being hypocritical and those were two things she tried to avoid being or doing.

[CursedErin]

Jynx kept her gaze on Zoey, taking a mental note of how she was reacting towards her. Perhaps she failed in her endeavors. The deceiver kept note of this and would work on not telegraphing her actions so much, wondering if she had done so here to let Zoey see right through her. Now she had another pressing matter, she could've sword she felt another set of eyes on her. She'd ignore the feeling for the moment and nod her head gently at Zoey.

"Perhaps I will... Could be something worth my while I suppose. Hard to tell!" She replied, chiming a bit at the end. It seems she didn't think of Zoey as any potential threat, nor did she think the second set of eyes on her was either. Jynx shivered a little as a cold rush of air blew past the wolves. "Maybe I should get going then..."

[Deleted]

DarkMoon couldn't get a good view of the two female wolves in front of him, so he decided to get closer. But as he tries to get closer, a twig snaps under his paw... and it was a pretty audible snap too. "Crap!" DarkMoon says in his mind. He freezes on the spot, hoping that neither of the two female wolves will attack him. "Oh no... hopefully I can escape this encounter without a scratch..." he says in his mind. DarkMoon then watches to see if the female wolves notice him, after that twig snapped. "They both have magnificent fur coats... those colors are very beautiful... I certainly hope that they find my fur coat to be just the same..." he says in his mind, for he was now closer to the pair of female wolves.

[Argus]

Turning her head to see the source of the loud noise presented Zoey with the sight of a male wolf. Go figure. The snow was picking up falling faster than before now. Judging from that and the decreased size of the flakes the snow would stop soon. Since the blue wolf had made no attempt to say hello yet Zoey figured that she should at least acknowledge the presence of the other wolf reluctant as she was. "Hi there." She squinted at the figure in the snow. Dark fur was all she could make out clearly. Zoey swung her attention back to the blue wolf.

[Deleted]

DarkMoon sensed the friendliness in the one female's voice as she noticed him. He says "hello, sorry if I bothered you at all, I was just passing through when I saw you both." DarkMoon then gets closer to the two female wolves, making himself more visible to them. DarkMoon no longer sensed any threat coming from either of the two wolves in front of him. He shivered a little from the cold, harsh wind that was blowing the snow around. "Wow, maybe I will escape this encounter unharmed after all. Maybe I could see if one of them will allow me to stay with them for the night." DarkMoon says in his mind.

[CursedErin]

The blue colored she-wolf snapped her head in the direction of the twig breaking. A new wolf soon appeared.
Jynx looked DarkMoon over and flicked her ears again. Zoey seemed to waste little time in saying her greetings. "Hi..." She replied as well, figuring she might as well give something back towards the new wolf. Jynx already wanted to leave however, feeling that there wasn't much else left for her here with these two others, and perhaps looking for something new elsewhere. Perhaps a pack would well suit her, or perhaps it wouldn't, who knew? Time would give the answer, though she didn't plan on quickly running into finding an answer.

[Deleted]

DarkMoon shakes the snow off of his fur and says "hi, how are you?" He shivered again and asked in the most polite way possible "may I stay with one of you tonight?" He then added with a shiver "it's getting very cold out here and I'm quite a ways away from my den. I was up all day searching for food... but sadly I haven't found any yet." DarkMoon shifted his captivating light blue eyes from one of the female wolves to the other. DarkMoon then says while wagging his tail happily "oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is DarkMoon, but you can call me Dark if you'd like."
