things have changed for me, and that's okay

The scent of Elkshire laid lightly on the female’s coat, like a coated mist. It gave with the freshness of her joining the pack within the last couple of moons. Mauve was shown mildly around, she had come to a realization. Many wolves were not diverse in their genetics, they all held a powerful gene that would produce russets of browns. Rarely had she found individuals that held a different pattern, besides the remnants of some white or cream. She wondered if she had not looked the way she did… would her favor be within the Queen’s eye. Would she have been cast away… She had not stepped much from the forest grounds of Elkshire. Deeming herself wary to embark on a journey further than a few miles out of range.

She already managed to get lost in the woods, this time accompanied by a male. She wondered mildly what he had been up to since their parting. Metallic-blue orbs would fall towards the horizon, where they had landed on another. She had thought to be the only one who would be out at this hour. Most wolves had taken rest by the stream or napping within the sun’s rays. Of course, Mauve had overheard that the Celosia Argentea were in bloom. Wishing to see them before the winter months took place. Wondering mildly if they managed to get seasonal changes. Noting how she was in a crouched position, shoulders squared and looking like she was ready to pounce at approaching prey.

Not wishing to disturb her, she would watch from a distance. Only waiting for the other to finish her task before she would offer a smile. Wondering if she had known where she could look for the flowers. Having heard they grow in bushels she had yet to find many.

The precision with which the female took was as if she had done this multiple times. Mauve only wished she was capable of such a task, sometimes her movements felt awkward. As if her past life was not part of the creature she had become, however, the former queen had not begun to think of the notion that she was anything else. For all, she knew she was always a wolf… her thoughts never prolonged about being a human. She had simply accepted the fact that she had always been this way. Their gaze would falter momentarily as she noticed the other had noticed her. Not wanting to cause a disturbance, she was happy that she had not scared the prey away.

She had not seen her around Elkshire before, having taken an of her own in an outstretched tree. Overgrown with weeds and vines coiled against the entrance. Another reason why she wished for flowers was to gather their seeds. Wishing her home would feel more like herself with plants around the landscape. Her ears pushed upwards, the tanned color of her audits catching in her words as she was beckoned forward.

Walking forward, happy that maybe she would make a new friend. Lonesome in the pack of Elkshire when there were not many her age to discuss topics with. For example… boys… Smiling the female’s tail would offer a wag. Her question pausing her momentarily, “Yes, ha… is it that obvious?” An awkward laugh would fall from her maw, straightening her shoulders. She looked at the rabbit that was a few paces away, “My name is Mauve. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.” Even the way she spoke, one would believe that she was raised with education as her background.

Introductions were given, and she had made it clear with the emphasis of her title as princess. Slowly her muzzle would distend towards the earth, greeting the other with the respect that the higher-ups would have been accustomed to. She was knowledgeable of the hierarchy, it was strange how familiar it was. Though, the bowing would always come at discomfort in her form. Memories remain transparent, she had no care to regain them anymore. It was as if her life was restarted, if she had known about her background would she be so keen to submit to another so easily? A smile perched against her maw, straightening back up, “A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Princess. I have met your brother upon my awakening, his highness Prince Warwick was kind enough to lead me to her Majesty. She granted me a passage in your lands.” Babbling… perhaps it was nerves. It was strange how her speech had continued, the accent in every breath of her origin.

Attention beckoned towards the female as she asked her a question, moving to freely look at the rabbit which she had killed. She already knew why the Princess had traveled to the range, her stomach began to grumble. Ears fumbling down with some embarrassment as she soon giggled, “I was hoping to look for the flowers that are native to this region, however, my stomach has other plans.” Moving to look across the horizon, she looked back to Edith, “Care to accompany me on a hunt, I am sure we will be able to grab something larger with the two of us. Perhaps even bring the rest to the pack.” She was free to decline her invitation for a hunt, Mauve would just move by herself further into the grounds to find something smaller and easier for her to catch.

Mauve had not expected kindness from the other, though she did not think ill of the other. The female did not know her enough to make assumptions but her selfless act had certainly persuaded her to a more positive aspect. Smiling warmly, she tried to reject, feeling bad that she would take her meal and insisting that she was able to wait if they were to hunt for something larger. Her stomach would rumble once more, indicating that it would not wait till after the hunt to stop. Afraid she may scare off their hunt if they heard the growling.

Smiling warmly, she bowed her head once more, “Thank you, Princess Edith.” Moving to dive into the entrails of the rabbit she had enough to satisfy her stomach until she nosed the rest of the meat to the other. Her nose displayed some blood, “I erm… saved some for you.” Wondering if she would take it, she was careful not to eat most of it. Fur strewed against the earth, she moved her head and began to lick at her chest and face. Removing the blood that remained as she waited for Edith to make her decision.

Once they decided that the two of them were satisfied with the rabbit she turned her gaze to the horizon, “Shall we?” She asked, moving her snout in the air to grab a scent. Trailing her head downwards she walked off after Edith once she found out where they were heading. Knowing that the female was more inclined to know where the prey was than she.

While the carcass slowly began to get torn away into the jowls of the younger youth, she settled back and began to wipe herself clean of the blood that spilled along her muzzle. Her tongue elongated across the fortress that hid her teeth, satisfied with what little she ate. Of course, Mauve only knew that was the appetizer and soon enough the Princess and herself would move off to find dinner.

She had spoken once she was finished with the rabbit, now laid bare with only a few chunks of meat that still clung to the whitened skeleton. Contemplating the strategy of securing a meal for both of them. Sizing up the female, she probably had more experience… Mauve understood that she had stamina and lithe - speed. Knowing that most of the land animals she discussed were small and quick but even then the two would have to go separate ways if they were to achieve a meal of smaller prey. She wanted to work together to take down an opponent.

“Shall we challenge ourselves with not only a sheep but a ram?” Larger yes… but with the two of them perhaps they were able to bring the beast down. She wondered if the female would accept the challenge or go for an easier route.
