His red pelt wasn't exactly the best thing to have when the sun was free to beat down on your body with no secure place of shadows for shade. Paws dragged against the wastelands that marked the lands of whatever pack it was he was tresspassing on. At the moment though, Turk could really care less if he was back in his old packs lands. His throat stung, his stomach growled hungerly, and his whole body ached with pain from the two years travels. Black claws clicked against the hardbaked grounds. It was as if no wolves had traveled here in a long time.
Ice blue eyes were barely being held open as Turk halted in his steps, nearly falling onto his stomach. He managed to sit down instead. Tail was held straight out behind him as shoulders slumped and tongue lolled from slightly open jaws. At the moment his goggles perched on his forehead, soon to be moved to around his neck if the sun didn't let up soon. The wolf tilted his head up, ears pulling back, as he glanced at a sky. A lone cloud drifted on a unnoticable wind that did nothing to help the red pelted male.
"C'mon!" he grumbled. "Cover the sun." Sadly no such thing was awarded to the young male as the only cloud in the sky driftedpast without so much as a shadow anywhere hear him. With a whimper he yet his front paws slide out from beneath him. Now in a laying position Turk just wished he had some water or food. Hell, even just a small ammount of shade big enough for the tip of his ear would be good.

((Tei. Pleeeeeeeeease tell us when this is taking place. Before and after what rp? Otherwise it's just too confusing.))
Soulsaver had slipped away from the pack again for one of her frequent walks, this time alone. She had been making her rounds in this part of the territory. That was where she saw the wolf.
he did not look all that vicious, lying on the ground, panting from the extreme heat. Soulsaver wondered for a moment if he would attack her if she offered assistance. In his present state, Soulsaver was certain she could stave off any assaults from him, so she decided to make her presence known.
Stepping into his range of sight, but keeping a pretty good distance, Soulsaver called out. "Friend! Do you require assistance? I would be happy to take you to my family's, this pack of Chaos Rheins', drinking water if that is what ails you."

((obviously after Shiik's death. That's when the thread was made. You can tell after that thread it is by when the thread was made. It's the newest one so after Namu left by himself and after Shiik's death))
Ears perked as he picked up the voice of another calling over the lands. His eyes went to the white wolf in front of him. It had to be a mirage. It just had to be. In his time of need he was seeing something that would help him and right when he got up to go to it the wolfess would disappear in front of his eyes and suddenly be back ten feet from him. Still, he wagged his tail and smiled weakly at her.
"You're a pretty mirage, yo," was the first thing from him. Not a yes. Not a no. Not even a maybe. Turk gathered his front paws under himself, pushing upwards into a sitting position. Tongue licked at dry lips and nose with little saliva to help both. The red wolf's ears flickered back and fourth, as if he was expecting more of these 'mirages' to come from somewhere.

Soulsaver laughed gently. "You flatter me, but I am no mirage. I am the alpha female of these lands, of the Chaos Rheins pack. Can you walk? If you are able, I will lead you to water, possibly food if the hunters went out after the elk like they were supposed to."

Now was the time to panic. He had just said something he would never had said to the Alpha of the lands he was tresspassing on. This was not a good thing. Ears pulled back slightly in embarrassment as tail flicked back and fourth behind him. And she was still so nice to him. Well, that never lasted. Turk lifted his rump from the ground, proceeding to walk a small circle around the Alphess.
"I think I can walk fine if at the other end is water." Small smile fell across his maw as he stopped in front of her. "What's your name? Mine's Turk, yo." To add effect to his words the wolf fell forward so his rump was un the air, one paw out stretched, and the other tucked under him in a sort of bow.

Soulsaver smiled brightly at him. He certainly was cheerful for someone who was both trespassing and possibly on the verge of collapsing from dehydration.
"My name is Soulsaver. It is a pleasure to meet you, I'm sure. Follow me, I will take you to the Crystal lake for water, then to main camp of this pack. Do not fear, for no harm shall befall you to be faulted by my packmates. All who come here in peace are welcome to stay and leave with it as well."
She started to lead the way.

He nodded his head at her words, head turning to look at the deserted wasteland he had collasped on. "You would think there wasn't anything out here, yo." Ah yes. His most favorite word. Third time he had said it in the presence of this female. He knew Soulsaver could probably scent his fear if it was kind of small. He had traveled for years looking for a home but where ever he went he was attacked and kicked out, always being dubbed "Disloyal". If anything, that new spread here like wildfire since wolves would come and go as they please.
"Wouldn't wolves that come and go be dangerous for you and the pack? I mean, spies from other packs might take refuge here as well as maybe some of their warriors." He trotted after her, head craning to the side slightly as he asked this. Ears were perked and blue eyes locked on the female.

"Possibly, I suppose, but that is a risk we take. We have no reason to cower in fear of spies, or to worry ourselves crazy with distrust. If we are betrayed, there will be hell to pay, but until then we treat all who come to us as if they are dear friends. Perhaps not the smartest of things to do, but without a doubt the better way of doing them"

There was some truth to her words, Turk figured out. It could also mean more allies when the time for war came. Still, there was need to take some caution in a situation just like this. He could have attacked her when her back was turned, pretending to be a sick wolf until her guard was down. However, that wasn't the case. With a small sigh he slowed his pace a little so he was now a foot or three behind Soulsaver as the journey contined.
"So who else is in this pack, yo?"

"For one, there is my elder sister Rayne, the pack healer. I am a healer as well, but not Officially, with a given title. My friend Dramz, a male from my first pack. Namu, The male alpha, and his pup Ice. Nightmare, one of our female warriors. There are more, I will introduce you when we get there."
After a while, they reached the lake, where Soulsaver bent her head down to the water to drink.

He half lsitened, the other part of his attention going to the scenery that seemed to never change. Until you reach here that is. The roar of a waterfall could be heard as well as the cliffs that were home to it. The red male's head turned every which way possible until he knew that this also was no mirage. With a small grin he trotted over to the water, dipping his front two paws in to before lapping it up almost greedily.
Turk lifted his head soon after, the cold water feeling like an ice cube to him. It fell down his partched throat with some difficulty but soon he was able to drink as much as he wanted with no threat of the feeling that his throat would colapse.
"So, it's a big pack?"

"Yes, I would say so. Now that I have spilled some information to you, will you be returning the favor?"

"So some would have heard of me," he muttered under his breath. Tail seemed to droop lower than usual as eyes stared at the crystal clear water. He slowly lowered the two dark red hind paws of his in the water as well, trotting around until he was ankle deep. Head lifted slightly as he watched the clouds pass over head. As Soulsaver asked for informationa bout him he smiled sheepishly.
"Oh, nothing much, yo. Just a wandering wolf."

"Very well. You sound indeed like my friend Dramz. Come, we must carry on when you are finished."

Thanking the heaves that she didn't ask further questions Turk lapped up a few more mouthfuls of water before heading out. At the banks he shook his pelt even though most of it was dry, ears falling back slightly until he was done where they perked back up again. Tail wagged slightly as he trotted around in front of Soulsaver, coming around to her right side.
"Where to now, yo?" he asked with curiosity present in his facial expressions. One ear pulled to the side as his head tilted to the side slightly.
