Maisy

It was true, Maisy had lost herself. Somewhere amongst the chaos of loosing her daughter and running away from her humans. But, it had lead her here. It was a pretty nice life with just her and her family.

Maisy trotted into Azul Canyon, her eldest sons, Demise and Fatality, followed proudly. The yearlings, Ethereal, Eternal and Smolder followed closer, still batting at each other gamely. Maisy snapped at them, a blue heeler mother grumpy with their constant playing. "Mature a little!" Maisy snapped, stopping abruptly, peering at the blue-tinted canyon. She offered a sigh, looking at her children. She needed a place to call home, and stop the madness of wandering. Maisy lifted her muzzle, giving a rather doggish-howl. Maisy felt her muscles go stiff as she sat down and waited for someone to come.

Jack

Jack, a regal African wild dog, was the one to pick up on Maisy's call. He was really missing Joli. He hadn't seen her in a long time, but he liked to think that she'd come back someday.

His head held high and proud, but not arrogant, he trotted toward the mother and children, bowing respectfully. He sat down to create a more comfortable atmosphere. "Hello, and welcome to Azul Canyon. I am Jack, leader of the African Pack. May I ask who you are?" He cast a friendly smile down at the pups. He adored children.

Maisy

Maisy quivered slightly at seeming Jack, but she mustered all her strength to make her look strong, but not arrogant. Maisy offered a softly smile to reflect Jack's, but it could not conceal her horror. "I am Maisy, these are my eldest sons, Demise and Fatality. And my yearlings, Ethereal, Smolder and Eternity," Maisy pointed her muzzle at each pup kindly, her ears flicked back to show her willing submission. The blue heeler relaxed slightly once she spoke, but she was alert. Not all wild canines where nice.

Fatality, a boasterous dog, wagged his tail. "Hiya!" Fatality barked, his mother sending him a hot glance.

The others remained quiet, the three yearlings chuckling softly at Fatality's loudness.

Jack

Jack gave his head a tilt, smiling friendlily. He could tell that Maisy seemed a bit nervous, and he figured he'd give her some time to adjust. "It's good to meet you, Maisy and children. Have you come to look for a home, or are you just getting to know the place?" He voice was always smooth and kind and his tail wagged slightly.

Maisy

Maisy listened for a second, delaying her response. Giving a sigh, she surveyed the land. It appealed to her, the chalky blue canyon reflecting the sunlight. "I--we, need a home. We've all been wandering for far too long," Maisy replied softly, looking back at Jack for his response.
