Prayer looked from the sky down to White and sat down.
"Most males are rude to me and actually, I have thought a bit about females. They're usually nicer to me than the males." She said then, realizing what she said, sighed.
"Great, you probably think I'm weird like the two other wolves I met" she said quietly.

White cocked her head, her eyes flashing red. The one thing she could not stand was when wolves judged other wolves just because they didn't know and they were scared. Her eyes returned to violet but still maintained their coldness. Her voice, however, depicted softness and kindness.
"Anyone who judges you because of that is a fool. I swore not to tell anyone, but Silver's sister prefers females, and she has found her soul mate, another pack member named IceBurn. They love each other, but remain hidden about it because they think they'll be exiled. They made me swear not to tell, but I think this deserves to be included," she said and then stopped, realizing she was rambling.
"Besides, it doesn't matter who you love. What matters is that you can love. Anyone who told you that you were weird for feeling that way doesn't deserve to love," she added softly. Standing up, she looked past Prayer and realized she was trembling. She dropped to the ground and whimpered.
"My sister, I'm told, was of female preference. She had finally found her true love, but was killed two days later. The other wolf, my sister's lover, died of sorrow. This all happened before I was born."

Prayer looked at White and laid down so she was eye-to-eye was her.
"I'm so sorry about your sister. And you don't have to worry about me telling anyone about Silver's sister. I wouldn't tell a soul. I don't have a reason to" She said with a small smile

The scents of the Silver Paw pack was everywhere, on the trees, stones, even the very earth seemed to reek of it. Valhalla wrinkled her nose against the overpowering odors. 'I must be near the main camp.' She thought, 'The scents so strong here I feel as if I could drown in it.' She'd been wandering across the unknown territory for two days now, and she was a bit surprised she hadn't been caught yet. Suddenly her stomach made a low gurgling sound,and she remembered she hadn't eaten anything since she'd gotten here. She hadn't had any luck in finding scraps, and she wouldn't dare hunt on another pack's land.
Sighing, she dropped onto her haunches, sending a small cloud of dust into the air that swirled around herself, stinging her eyes for a moment before settling back down. Valhalla stared boredly at the canopy of leaves above, watching as a small black bird flitted to and fro, oblivious to the blue wolf/dog that sat bellow. She kept her eyes trained on the bird for a few moments more, before a drifting scent caught her attention. It was wolves, and it was close! Instantly, her head snapped in the direction the scents had come from and her ears strained forward. As she sniffed the breeze more carefully, she could tell it was two faes. Shrugging, Valhalla hauled herself to her feet and slowly made her way toward the strangers. Maybe they would know the way out of here. Or even better, maybe they'd have some food.
Val carefully made her way through the undergrowth, her ears pointed forward, searching for any signs of the wolves. As she wandered, she began hearing the quiet murmurings of the strangers, and a few moments later she was peering at them from the cover of a large fern. They were both larger than her, but came as no surprise, most wolves she'd met were. One was white with yellow tips, while the other was a pretty white green and pink.
'No use in hiding forever, besides, I'm bound to be found out eventually.' Taking a deep breath she stepped out of her cover and stood in the clearing. "H-hello. I'm Valhalla." As she spoke, she bowed her head and lowered her tail, showing her respect. "I'm lost, and was hoping you could help me?" her eyes seemed glued to the dry, cracked Earth that lay between her paws. Praying they would not attack her for trespassing, or barging in on their conversation so rudely.

White's head jerked up. The scent of an unknown wolf hit her fast and hard. She looked up, ears twitching, her tail hanging low. Her eyes settled on the blue and white wolf who stood at the edge of the clearing, staring quite stubbornly at the ground upon which she stood. A small smile played across her lips as she held back a giggle. The wolf looked strangly out of place for some reason. White stepped forward and dropped to her stomach. She crawled across the ground until her head was right under the new comer's.
"That's very interesting, but seeing as I'm the ground, I cannot help you," she said in a squeaky voice before sitting up and giggling. "I'm White Paw, and this is Prayer. I assure you that I can help you much more than the ground can. I'm the Alpha female of this territory."
Her gaze hardened and she shuddered involuntarily.
"Valhalla, was it? Well, Val, if I may call you that, you'd best be appreciative that you got lost here, rather than in the Black Paw territory. They would have either forced you into their pack or eaten you alive. Thankfully, the Silver Paw Pack is much more polite. Erg. When I start rambling, I want you to stop me. Same goes for you Prayer. Erg, I tend to do that alot."
She let out a chuckle and blushed softly. She then turned toward Prayer and trotted over to her.
"Prayer, would you run back to my den? I have some left over meat from the last hunt wrapped in a navy blue fur near the entrance. Would you bring it here?[/i]" she whispered to the new member. She turned back to Val and smiled.
"You look tired and weak. Come back with me and I will find you a place to stay so you may regain your energy before you leave on your journey again." White smiled and gave the wolf a sly look.
"You may even decided you like it here and decide to stay."

Prayer looked at Val then at White.
"Right away" she said and ran off twords White's den. She stepped inside then looked around he entrance then grabbed the navy blue fur and began to run back.

Valhalla stared at white Paw a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly. 'What was with that look?' Shaking her head, she shoved the notion aside. 'It was probably nothing.' Still, the though remained in the back of her head, like a dark shadow. She took a step forward wincing slightly as her sore pads screamed thier protest. Pausing, she wondered if it was really worth the walk, or should she just lei down and sleep right here. Despite her bodies objections, the though of food and rest drove her on and she looked back to the colorful wolf. "Thank you very much. I can't tell you how much I appriciate your kindness." She bowed her head, to emphisize her words, and her golden eyes shined with gratitude.
"And you shouldn't worry about rambling so much," She said, offering White Paw one of her lopsided grins. "You can't be worse than me." Her eyes slowly wandered off in the direction the second wolfess had run off to, and she felt her mouth begin to water at the thought of food. she had never been very good at going long times without eating, and the pain in her stomach was begining to drive her crazy. Suddenly a low gurgling noise rose from her stomach, and she turned back to White Paw, laughing nervously, and giving silent thanks that no one could see her blushing.
"Ummm, I guess I'm more hungry than I thought?" As she spoke, she caught the scent of meat. Prayer must have been returning. Her gaze rested eagerly on the spot where she had recently disappeared. Her attention was now fixed entirely on the thought of food, and for a moment she actually forgot about the wolf who stood before her.

Prayer slowed to a walk when she got closer to White and Val. She placed the fur down.
"Here it is" She said, bowing her head then sitting down.

White smiled and gave Prayer a bow of thanks for completing the errand. She then turned to look at the one called Val and smiled softly. Her eyes stood straight up and her tail wagged a bit.
"Prayer, wait here with Val and bring her to my den when she finishes her meal. I'm going ahead to set up a place for her to rest," she explained and took off, lunging through the trees toward her den.

Val managed to say a quick thanks to Prayer and White Paw before diving onto the meat. Holding it down with her fore paw, she tore off small chunks and swallowed them faster than she'd originally thought possible. She continued scarfing it down impossibly fast until her hunger had subsided into a dull ache. By now only a small fraction of the meal remained, and she looked up at Prayer, embaressed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be so rude." Her salmon pink tounge flicked out and licked at the blood and bits of meat that clung to her muzzle. "Did you want some?"
Reaching out her right forpaw, she slowly nudged the chunk of meat toward the white and yellow wolfess before sinking down tiredly onto her haunches. She felt nausious now, maybe she shouldn't of eaten the meat so fast.
(Sorry it's short, my brain is seriously dead at the moment.)
