Kodiac:
Kodi pawed the sand, his dark brown fur standing out in the light sand and dark dirt. His dark brown eyes looking around in a nervous way. He had nearly frozen to death once, after a fall in a river when he was a pup. He walked forward, big paws leaving prints in the soft soil and sand. His right ear and what little remained of his left ear perked and roving. He wanted to know if anyone was coming. His nervousness could be justified by the scar that ran down the left side of his face. It covered the back part, exposing part of the eyeball and a good chunk of his mouth before cutting off at the bottom of his jaw. It was a gruesome, dark reminder of almost a year ago. Now almost 3 years old, Kodi was a large wolf. His features well refined, some would say he was handsome from the right side.

Kodi looked up, his eyes flicking around. He could have sworn he heard something. His white-tipped tail flicked nervously, an then he tried to calm down. He was getting paranoid. He tried to dismiss it as a rabbit. Something kept nagging him though. He sneezed, and shook himself. He hated getting sick.

 Mezanix 

Sand. Oh she hated it. Dry, small and it got everywhere. In her eyes, over her coat, between her paws and for some ungodly reason in her mouth. She was already finding the area unpleasant, but the slight difference in temperature from the blizzard she had been attempting to avoid was welcomed. Though built for the cold with a thick pelt, she was but a lone wolf and no lone wolf would survive a blizzard for long, even if their body held preference to the cold.

Mezanix was occupying herself with ridding the sand from her coat when a sneeze broke the silence. Her ears swiveled around as she attempted to pinpoint its location, green eyes narrowing as she stared out around her. She moved a swift movement onto her paws and took in the scents around her. Curiosity got the best of her and the she made her way towards the cold water, keeping an eye on the banks of the river as she moved along the rivers edge, making her way towards where she thought the sneeze had come from.

Kodiac:
Kodi perked his ear. Rustling sand... Bear? Kodi's white hackles rose, brown eyes scanning the area in a frenzy to find out of it was a bear. He lifted his left front paw, the one that he had a slight limp on for the best part of the year. He made his way down the river, nose working overtime. He was upwind, and that made him a bit annoyed. He hated being upwind, it meant he couldn't smell whatever was ahead of him. He started shivering, as a light snow began to fall. He shook himself, and sneezed again. I have a cold, of all things...

Kodi looked at the thin layer of ice over the river and thought about when he had been lost in a blizzard, and how Flint and he had nearly frozen. Flint had dragged him to the den where Jess, Toki, Iallo, Flint and he had been holed up. Then he perked up at the -much closer- sound of paws on sand. Wolf paws.

 Mezanix 

There he was. The sneezer. Mezanix cocked her head to the side as she came to a stop. Her stance was ready for anything he might throw at her, he seemed capable of dealing a great amount of damage. He was taller than she was, bigger probably too, but her thick coat would make her seem bulkier. Her green eyes remained trained on him, his brown pelt and brown eyes seemed out of place in the golden landscape, but then again she was also out of place. White and black did not seem to fit anywhere. 
Her tail curled and a wave of curiosity and mischievousness washed over her. She flashed him a smile and decided to take a daring step closer, testing his boundaries. Despite his bulk, he seemed somewhat uneasy, why Nix couldn't know for sure, but his posture was not held in a manner that showed confidence. 
"What is your name, Sneezer?" She finally asked, words lyrical as she spoke, a gentle tone to her voice that did not match her curious and daring nature at all. For now she was merely curious about this male, but only time would tell before her next mood swing, and perhaps he'd meet a whole new face.

Kodiac:
Kodi jumped, whirling around to face this vary furry female. "Gha!" His hackles rose, and he widened his stance in case she was not friendly. Then her question surprised him. He cocked his head at her, brown eyes fixed on her green. "My name is Kodiac." Why did she call me 'Sneezer'? I don't sneeze that loud, do I? Kodi contemplated this. She seemed like she may understand that he was shy, which surprised some wolves because he seemed like the kind of wolf who would throw his weight around. He was quite contrast to this, kinda like his coat. Silver and white, on muddy brown. Not a vary normal color. "What's your name?" he asked, cocking his head to one side. His ears where forward, but the left one looked like a patch of fuzz gone nuts. His face was beginning to flush from the cold, turning the fur-less area bright red. He was one of the few wolves you could see blush, or turn beet red, or any color on his face. He also had gotten a few sunburns in the summer. That had not been any fun.

Mezanix

Mezanix held back an amused laugh at the tall males response to her being there. Her green eyes studied him in silence for a while, rolling over words that she might reply with but none seemed to take her utmost fancy. 
"I am Mezanix" She eventually landed on, watching him, his dark coat swirled with other shades was intriguing, and seemed misplaced in the desert. Her eyes flickered slightly to the sprinkling of snow falling around them and then moved back to Kodiac. She made a note of the features of his face, or rather, the lack of, as well as his ears, one a fuzzy mess, the other intact. His scarring caused only curiosity and questions to bubble inside her, she wanted to know what had caused such injuries, what battles had he participated in, and why he seemed so jumpy. She was mostly baffled by his response to her presence, he was a larger wolf than she, probably larger than most, and yet he seemed as jumpy as a rabbit. 
"So what brings you here Kodiac, surely the cold is better to endure with a pack?" She asked, cocking her head to the side once more, as she spoke she lowered her back legs and sat watching him, her large bushy tail sweeping around her legs to keep them warm as the cold breeze kicked in. She could see the pink of his fur-less features already starting to break out, indicating that he may be cold.

Kodiac:
Kodi sat, curling his white tipped tail over his paws. "I had one, sort of." He said, neatly avoiding why he was here. "I had my brothers, sister, Iallo, and once there where a few others. Flint, Toki, Iallo and I have been hunting since we where young." He hated the sob story, but it was true. He could tell she wanted to know about the scars. That story was a painful one that resulted in him leaving his family in the ruins. He sighed, and said, "I know what you are going to ask, and I would rather not tell the full story. In short, I got beat up by a grizzly, and ended up wandering." He said this in a calm annoyance, but he expected it. Every wolf he had met so far had asked. Frankly, he would rather be asked about his fur, or why he was out alone. The scars always came up.
