[OOC: Sorry for the wait! I've had zero muse these past few days, but I found an awesome song that made it all come back! XD]

The previous night, Paislee had gone to Seafoam Shore to watch the sun set, but ended up falling asleep in the cover of the trees just before the sand replaced the snow covered soil. While it was cold and she wished she hadn't fallen unconscious and gone back to her warm den, where she could've been protected from the fierce wind, she was happy to not only see the sun set but also the sun rise early that morning. She simply sat there, thinking over her life and her past... slowly trying to figure out her future. She had met no males, except Malachai, but she would've only viewed him as a friend if she got to know him better. She guessed she could call Chiara either a friend or a role model, one other the other, maybe both. Other than that, she wasn't sure who the hell anybody else was... She barely knew herself.

Abruptly, she watched a wolf appear over the top of a hill. Paislee smirked. Paislee couldn't place who it was, but she smirked at their almost eagerness to reach their destination. Bored and unsure of what else to do, the Warrior called out to the stranger, "Why, hello there! Are you of Pyrvanthros?" She expected a yes answer, otherwise she would chase off the trespasser herself and report it to either Malachai or Chiara immediately.

Paislee nodded to the fae, not moving from her position in the treeline. She glanced back at the water, before she flicked her icy blue gaze back to the stranger. "Warrior Paislee," she greeted. She knew that the wolf was bigger than her, but Paislee had a strong confidence she could take her in a fight, need be. At the moment, there was no threat, so she flicked her tail on the floor and smiled a little.

She lowered her head to her paws and stared out at the waves crashing onto the shore. She sighed. Her eyes found the shape of a few seal lions sun bathing on rocks further into the salty water. She awaited a response from the fae, be it to come anywhere nearer or to simply make an awkward conversation from a distance. Paislee didn't want to move, however. She was fine where she was, lying on the snow under the shade of a large oak. She leaned to the side a bit, allowing her to rest on the trunk of the tree.

[So sorry for the wait. I've been swamped all week.]

Paislee didn't ever take her eyes off the shore as her packmate made way toward her. She dipped her head in greeting when the fae sat down next to her and gazed out at the ocean. Paislee then glanced up at her. "Yeah, it is," the silver warrior murmured. Looking back at the crashing waves, Paislee flicked her tail behind her, making it slap on the snow quietly. She sighed yet again, a feeling of pure bliss overtaking her. It had been awhile since she had felt this calm, not affected by any haunting memories or treacherous worrying.

Obviously, the other warrior, Tatsu, was interested in small talk. Paislee didn't necessarily mind the act itself, it always just seemed awkward to her. "So, what rank do you hold, Tatsu?" asked the gray pelted fae. It would certainly be interesting to see how Paislee would connect with this female, be it enemies or friends, maybe even training partners. Paislee was certainly open for any, but she would prefer not to make enemies with packmates... The stress of constantly being on their bad side would bring her down too much.

[So crappy, but I wanted to get this up. So sorry for the wait.]

So Tatsu was also a warrior. Helping each other with technique and being allies in future battles was a sure possibility. Watching the female lay down on the snow next to her, not minded by the long silence. Once the other warrior finally spoke, Paislee sighed. "It's definitely beautiful. I too have never seen one before yesterday... I've heard wondrous stories of the water though. Once I found out there were waves crashing onto this very shore in our territory, I came running," Paislee laughed. "It's certainly a pretty sight. Hard to believe we've never seen such a massive thing before, huh?" Paislee said.

She sighed at Tatsu's next question. "Actually, no, there wasn't. My pack was in the middle of a mountain range... Surrounded by forest and you could see the moon and sun slowly sinking behind the giant masses of rock everyday in the distance. It was very cold, where I'm from... It didn't snow much, but it was just so high up that the temperatures were always pretty low. Sad to think that in the forest nearby our camp... One day I was playing with my siblings... another I was participating in their murder..." Paislee frowned, refusing to glance at the other fae. "Do you come from a dark past, Tatsu?"

Paislee was shocked to say the least. "I wasn't a pawn in anybody's game, by any means, but I was used and then thrown away when I wasn't needed anymore. I was training with the alpha of my pack, alongside his son Jacob. I was the perfect heir, but then I was attacked by my siblings out of spite, and Jacob saved me. He killed two of my siblings, and I helped him... The other two got away, but me and Jacob were exiled. I'll never know for sure, but I think that when we were cast out, the alpha had found my sister, Bella, or perhaps my brother, Kaleb, a better fit to take over. I was the runt, after all. Me and Jacob left, became true mates, even started a family. But I lost all of them... the pups and Jacob..." Paislee found herself confused as to why on earth she would ever share any of this information with somebody she barely met... Then again, she told Malachai, without the gory details. But why would she tell this wolf, who had no immediate impact on her?

Paislee finally looked back at Tatsu. "I apologize, my story is a tad long and can be a little boring after a while. But, now you know the whole thing... I assume we can be honest with each other now, yes?" Paislee joked. She smiled a little at the other warrior, then glanced back to the water. Simply beautiful, and calming, how the water crashed onto the sand with a fearsome, violent force. Funny, how something not even alive, something physically mindless, could be so powerful...
