The druid was cheerful, strolling through tall grass and marshy bogs. It was a nice day, warm, and the sun was out, and the west wind blew across the greenery. Reeidlas assumed that the bog had formed out of the nearby lake, and had something to do with the heavy rains that he'd traveled through over the last couple of days.
The young wolf was a little homesick, he supposed. Reed missed his brother and his brother's mate, and the smell of salt on the wind. He supposed it would wear off. Right now he was headed north towards distant mountains. Reed wanted to climb them. He supposed if one went high enough they would be able to catch stars and carry them down to earth, and he was thinking - he was thinking that his nephews and neice would like them, to play with. Reed would have liked one when he was a cub.
Geese flew over his head in a long line, flying on the wind. Reed watched them go. Westward, seeing places he might never go. The young wolf wished he could do as some of his kind had in the stories, shift shape and follow the wind-roads over the seas to the distant countries that must lie on the other side. And then, even farther, and find where the gods lived - the houses of the moon, the mansion of the sun.
West, the wind. East, the morning sun. He sniffed the wild breeze and turned his steps slighly, realizing that his direction was a bit off. Reed had a mind like a compass, when he wanted to. It was a simple task to keep himsef pointed in the proper direction.
An hour later, he was running steadily, scenting a storm in the air. It would be good to be under cover by nightfall, which meant Reed needed to be out of the swamp and under trees. This thought carried him speedily onwards, and distracted him from paying attention to his surroundings. Thus it was that he drew very near to a stranger before he noticed they were there.
He'd frozen, trying to be invisible in the dry grass, smelling another wolf near him. At first he'd hoped they were far enough away for him to avoid meeting them, until he caught sight of a moving figure in a clearer area off to his left. Reed frowned uncertainly, considering whether or not to try to sneak away.
Then the stranger's eyes had definitely fallen on him, hiding there in the brush. Reed stared back, warily, and huffed quietly in the stranger's direction. Perhaps, despite his small size, they would take him for a threat and move on..

It was a rare occasion that Dakota so much as moved from her den, but the cramped hole under the dead tree was getting confining... she would defiantly need to make a move before the infernal blood suckers that she was carrying decided to be born. she was out scouting prospective locations close to her pack's land when she spied the other wolf. Dakota had learned to be wary of other wolves in her time alone, and let out a warning growl... sort of a " come any closer, and i WILL bite you." warning.

Sunny was off in the distance her golden mane was covering one of her light blue eyes. She was walking along the forest and let her hips sway some as she walked over the forest floor witch was piled with leafs, branches and logs. She was Bored and was hopping that she would bump into someone soon. She soon stopped in her tracks as she spotted a brute from the corner of her eye and tried to hide her smile. With a load sigh she used her paw to mover her mane from in front of her eyes and shook her head. "Oh no it looks like I'm lost." She said in a soft and light voice and let her ears fall back. "I wish I knew where I was and hope I can find some one that can help me find my way home" She sighed and looked around helpless and called out "Hello Anyone near?" She voice reflecting worry and a little lost. "Hello" She called again and then sat down and sighed. She tried to make this look as real as posable.

Reed eyed the strange female unhappily. She'd definitely seen him. Now he'd probably have to stop off and chat with her, from the way she was growling at him. Always lucky, he was. If it wasn't one thing it was a pregnant female with a nasty attitude.
He stepped sideways out of the bushes anyway, one eyebrow raised, doing his best to look nonconfrontational. For a moment, he considered what he could say that would diffuse the situation and allow him to move on.
Then someone beat him to it, shouting for help in the near distance. Reed winced at the noise, peered over at the growling female, attempted to look apologetic, and put himself toward figuring out where the shouting was coming from.
God this was confusing. He stared blankly at the caller, another female, sitting about ten yards to his left in plain sight. Was she blind? Maybe she couldn't see him right there. Reed scowled uncomfortably, opened his mouth, closed it again, and tried to marshal his thoughts.
"Um."
He fidgeted, stared from one female to the other, took a deep breath, and started talking in a slightly hopeless voice. This seemed like it would turn out to be a very long delay.
"Good morning..madams.."
Should he even tell them his real name? Would it matter?
"I, uh, my name is Reeidlas. Reed. The Navigator."
Again his speech ground uncertaintly to a halt. He took a deep breath and made himself continue.
"Can I help you..ladies?.."

Sunny soon walked over to him and batted her eye "I'm lost, and alone..." She said softly and put on a pout and let her ears drop. She sat and let one shoulder lift up some to meet her check and her mane fell over one of her eyes. "Could you help me, Im so scared" She looks at him and let out a soft sigh and looked around a little panicked and then back to him. She was really playing on her innocent side and pushed back her mane with one of he paws and bite her bottom lip. "I could really use a strong brute right now. " She said with a soft and breath voice. She was really hoping that he would fall. She also noticed that he was slightly shy and quiet and hoped that her Innocents was low key enough for him and not to over powering. She also know that her playful side was maybe to strong for him and continued acting the way she was.

Reed scowled. Everything about this female was just odd. Who walked up to a stranger in the wood and asked them for help? Was she suicidal?
He stared at the other wolf, thinking hard. Maybe she was actually stupid. But the way she asked would seem to condtradict that..the low voice, bright blue eyes, and the way she was flopping her mane over her face. Reed resisted the urge to groan slightly. Of course this would happen..
"Well, if you are looking for a strong brute, I'm afraid you may need to keep searching," he began, a little irritably. He really didn't like females that pretended to like him to get things. All she had to do was ask. Reeidlas was a generous person.
"However, you are now in Elmor territory, and welcome to remain as long as you like - both of you," he added, eyeing the pregnant wolf quickly. "I am the alpha. I offer you safe-conduct, so there is no need to fear."
That done with, he sat down, yellow eyes looking from one wolf to the other. Neither of them were especially polite, it seemed. Maybe it was their upbringing. Reed couldn't really judge, but it would be nice if perhaps they'd let him know their names, or where they came from, or their purpose in wandering though his small territory. He supposed he could ask. Even if they gave him fake names, it was better than nothing..
"May I ask what to call you?"
He glanced from one female to the other, smiling vaguely and trying to look both nonthreatening and tough at the same time.

Sunny looks at the brute getting slightly flustered at him from not rushing to help her or showing any interest in her at all. Ofcourse she wasn't looking for love, but she wanted to attention. "I'm Sunny" She said as she looked away from him and sighed. She soon got up and let her mane fall in front of her eye again and let her ears drop back "I am sure your to busy." She said waving him off wanting to go off now on her own. Her voice was now lower then her innocent voice she was using (Witch is rather high) and got up and started to head off on a random direction. Her ears laid back and her blue eyes focused on the path that now layer ahead of her. She rather doubt the brute would make any attempt to call after her of follow her and she could find something else to do if need be. She was still flustered and she was almost scowling at the trees around her.
