Ty & Callie

The two young humans were growing very hungry now. And there raggy clothes weren't holding off the cold that the autumn winds were bringing in.

Ty was sitting beside a large granite stone, leaning against its side and gazing absently into space. His stomach was flat and his little ribs could be seen when the wind blew his shirt taunt against his flesh. His dark, black-brown hair, which had originally had a neat and trim 'mushroom' cut, was now scraggly and uneven. His face was dingy and pale, and his nails very dirty.

Callie was several yards away, holding up the flower of a Jewel Weed and twirling the orange blossom around in her hand. The Jewel Weeds were begning to die off now as the cold set in, but Callie managed to find one of the last ones still in bloom. Her sandy-blond hair was thinner than Ty's, and very scraggly at this point. She often brushed it away from her face. She too was getting very thin and even had an upset stomach after eating a patch of less-than-edible plants. But she was somewhat content at the moment as she held the little orange flower and chatted away to it, babbling on about nothing in particular.

Cavan

The badly-scarred wolf was on the lookout for new 'pack' members. Stealing into another's terra, he came across the two childeren and froze. He had picked up their scents earlier and found them consistently mingled with that of the pack. A new idea began to bubble in his mind until it brought a grin creeping across his muzzle.

Sliding quickly across the ground, the wolf approached Callie. She seemed the smallest; the easiest to handle. And also, it remained in his mind that the male humans seemed more apt to attacking wolves, so Callie seemed a safer bet than the young Ty. "Well well, isn't his interesting?" Cavan murmured, coming to within a foot of the child. "You would like to join my pack, wouldn't you?" Controlling his fear of humans, Cavan moved even closer, seeing if he could carefully get a hold of her shirt and begin to tug her away.

Callie & Ty

Callie stood up, a grin come to her muzzle-less face. "Wolf!" The child cooed and giggled when Cavan took hold of her shirt. Like she had with the others, Callie tried to clamber onto the wolf's back.

Ty watched silently with his dark eyes. He patted absentmindedly at the ground and twirled a dead blade of grass with his finger, but did not get up to greet this new wolf.

Cavan

Cavan held back a snarl as she got on his back. But, he was a bit releived she did, for now he could travel faster without having to tug her along. "I don't know what you said, but you better hold on tight." The wolf snorted, flinching a bit at her touch. With a single glance to Ty, the wolf moved off, headed out of the terra while keeping his gait soft and easy so Callie wouldn't fall off.
