Orion's breathing was steady as he listened closely to the steps of what was ahead of him. It was a small hare but decently sized for being so tiny. It thumped back and forth as if it were lost, but the brute had something else in mind for the small thing. With a large leap, his paws landed upon his unsuspecting prey and his jaws dropped to seize it and then snap. The fresh scent of blood refreshed his mind and in minutes, he was whole-heartily tearing the flesh from the meat that would provide protein for himself. His tail swept the snow behind him as he wagged with delight. His grey eyes sparkled through the film that had covered them his entire life. He took a deep breath as he finished his meal, gently licking his maw and paws to kiss away any blood that may remain upon his body. At-last his body felt clean and so he arose, paws standing strong and soon his journey began to search for that which he would once again call home. He could feel the cold against his paws, the wind rushing through his fur gave him a feeling of excitement. He moved forward, his tail swaying as he thought about what all he would do that day. He was planning on gathering what herbs he could find to use in case of an emergency. He was highly used to being fought and then having to make up for it in his skill of herbs. He shut his eyes slowly, it made no difference to him as he was finally used to only hearing and feeling.

He smiled weakly as he let his mind wander away from his small journey. At least I still have hope... my Hope. My precious daughter, she's still alive and therefore I have hope. He thought quietly to himself, his smile growing across his face. His tongue flicked out and across his face, he was impatiently trying to ponder as to where he would go. With his luck, he would end up walking off a cliff for the fun of it. He laughed, letting his deep voice echo through the forest he walked. He wove within the trees, in and out, as if he had walked the forest a million times. But, to him, every forest was the same except for the smell. This forest held the weak scent of a pack, and he was determined to make his way to the border and be greeted by the high ranks. He knew hot it was done, he had been accepted by many packs, but this time... he wasn't out to kill for the Rogues. He was set on finding a home for himself. He finally arrived to the point where the scents were strongest. His tail flicked and slowly he sat upon the ground, wrapping his tail around his body and tilting his head back.

His howl pierced the air, breaking any silence that had surrounded him. His voice called until it ended with a sweet huff of air out of his maw. His muscles tensed and his ears perked forward in an attempt to hear any paw-steps that may come his way. His heart started racing as he awaited, both tense and excited as he hoped to have found his home. "Perhaps... this is where I belong?" He mumbled quietly to himself, eyes sparkling through the clouds that always covered them. After being excited, he managed to calm himself and lower his head in respect to whomever may greet him at the border. His ears went flat against his head and his body sank to being submissive. He shut his eyes tightly and just listened to his heart race on and on. He huffed out a sigh, a smile still spread across his maw.

((OOC- It's quite alright, I loved reading it anyways ^^ Sorry that mine is a bit short as well :c ))

Orion heard paw-steps and yet his position stayed the same. He was still tense, breathing in and out slowly as the she-wolf spoke to him. His eyes did not open as she spoke. Instead he took note of where her voice rang out and determined that she was perhaps the same height as he was. His ears flicked forward as he took in the words. He nearly laughed at how she spoke about him greeting death. His smile grew upon his maw and then slowly disappeared as he figured that's what she had meant. He slowly rose, lifting his head up high, still in a submissive stance. He rolled his shoulders back and paid close attention to her rank and name. Odd. I've never met an Elite that was... female before. He thought in silence, listening as she finished speaking. Demanding a bit? A chuckle rumbled in his chest and slowly he nodded, finally opening his grey eyes. "I am merely one known as Orion, ma'am." He paused and tilted his head to show he was both curious and honest. "My purpose here is to join this pack. I am of no harm, and I am sure you could find a few uses for me." He spoke in a strong voice, quiet but strong all the same. His fur bristled with the winter air and his tail flicked as if he was testing to see if someone was behind him. He lifted a paw and set it back down, paying attention to the slight vibrations he felt. He could somewhat tell how far away she was, but he was still a bit worried that he may have crossed the border. "I do hope I am not intruding, Elite Fel." He spoke honestly, eyes flickering back and forth even though he couldn't see. He was trying to make it seem natural, but he felt a strain on his eyes and finally just settled them to where he had heard her voice coming from. He was amazed with the fact that he could move his eyes and still be swallowed by darkness. He took a deep breath and let it out as a quiet sigh. His ears roved back and forth as he heard echoes within the forest. He was both searching and paying attention to the she-wolf. He took another deep breath, catching onto her scent as the wind complied and rushed towards him. She was sweet smelling, but he caught the air of strength and age in her voice. Another small smile crossed his maw, he couldn't help but think that the Elite was perfect for the position given to her. Of course her jobs were hard, but he was sure that she could manage just fine. He felt as if he wanted to get to know the she-wolf, maybe he was also a bit curious as to how she saw the world. His tail wrapped around his body, head tilting downwards again as he simply listened.

Orion took a deep breath and let his small smiles disappear. He figured now that it would be hard to impress the she-wolf. His grey eyes blinked ever so slowly, as if to apologize for his actions. He shook his head and flattened his ears against his head in silence. "Sorry ma'am." He took a slow breath and let it out before pondering what to say that would be proper. His tail flicked as he finally answered her question. "Well, I am skilled in hunting and fighting, but my pride is working with herbs to heal others... I find it fascinating how wonderful simple herbs can make a wolf stronger." He figured that was the best answer he could muster out without sounding like a fool. He couldn't think of anything else to add and so he listened for her to speak, he was a bit surprised that she hadn't asked about his past, then again, he honestly didn't stand a chance if he told her the truth about wandering with Rouges whom had him lure high ranks out just to kill them. Perhaps he could just give her the boring parts and have it suffice. He licked his muzzle and dipped his head once more to show he was of no harm to the Elite. He realized quickly that he had not brought a gift to the borders, something to show his skills were true. He shifted from paw to paw in shame, the least he could do was bring a small rabbit for the kill pile. His tail pulled closely to his body as he realized fully that it was just himself and the Elite.      


((Ooc- sorry its small, typed it up on my moms ipod cause I wanted to make a reply for you))

Orion decided to answer her quickly rather then ponder his words. "Well, my experience involves my past. I have been injured many a time, and have injured others as well. I used to roam the lands with a group of Rogues, they used me to lure... their meals. In return, I would kill their prey and then take care of any injury that they sustained. I owed my life to them. But soon, I grew weary of traveling with a much of... unpleasant creatures, tired of being used. I attacked the leader of the group and won the spar, I spared his life so I may continue on with my own." He finished speaking, letting his deep voice rumble out the words loud enough to be heard, clear enough to be understood. His thick fur prickled lightly, grey eyes staying in one spot. His tongue flicked out across his maw, his ears roving forward to listen to the Elite. "I understand and accept these terms with my whole heart, Elite Fel. I respect your pack and pledge my utmost loyalty unto you and the Alpha. I pledge to give my life unto the others of the pack, to heal them when they are injured or sick, to care for them as they would care for me. I will fight for them and I will not let you or any of the pack members down." His words were true, clear and soothing. He wanted nothing more then to be apart of the pack, and surely they didn't need to think he would lure them away to kill them. He felt annoyed at the thought, wishing his past had been easier. But he knew that it was his past that made him feel somewhat corrupt, and yet honest. He felt as if the she-wolf could understand a painful past, but he would not share his with her until he gained at least some trust. He could usually tell another's emotions by listening to them speak or feeling the way they moved when he stood beside them, but with the Elite, he felt no surge of emotion except for what she wanted to have heard. He couldn't tell if she was angry, he thought she was impatient but he would never know for sure.

Orion stood in silence as she finally spoke the words of acceptance to him. His grey eyes danced with joy, until the sudden touch of her tail. So, she understands that I am blind? The touch was startling, because it was the first time anyone had ever lead him to a place. He had always followed scents and then moved quickly after them, sometimes they would lead him into a ditch or run him around until he got to the right place. He quickly kept pace with the brute-ish fae, finally being able to tell her height at least somewhat. His heart pounded as he moved with her, almost like a team. They wove through the forest with ease, not stepping in any small pits or sharp rocks. His smile didn't return, and he doubted he'd smile if Fel was near him. He wanted to keep himself with respect, to prove he was worthy to be within these lands. He didn't dare to leave the touch she gave him, leading him along. He would remember this exact path by scent and touch for the future, his tail swayed slightly so he could touch anything that he would brush by. His ears flickered forth as if the fae was speaking, but he was simply listening to the small sounds of the world around them. He knew by sound and the way things echoed that the trees surrounding them were rather tall, how tall? He did not know... but he knew they were tall. He couldn't hear the life because it was winter, but he knew that when Spring came, he would be able to hear the live chatter of all animals seeking homes and building up for their newly found year. Some would die, to the jaws of a strong wolf, and others would escape to be unnoticed. "Thank you, Elite Fel." He spoke quietly as they would depart. His head giving a firm nod, his body shifting so he may find the entrance to the healers den.
