*The setting sun casted a warm orange glow across the thinly oaks of the forest, highlighting the colorful leaves in signal of the season of fall as they would slowly drift towards the ground in irony to its name. Within the middle of a clearing where the trees seem to cluster more together, a small camp had appeared to have been built with a few supplies scattered about in its preparation. To one side of the camp, a horse equipped with saddle bags could be seen gently nibbling at what few blades of grass remained in this area, seemingly lacking any company as it remained tied to a tree to prevent it from wandering too far from the camp.*
Racheal
*Adeliza would be walking through the forest, on her way back home from another lovely day at the beach. She decided not to watch the sunset at the beach today but rather observe it from the forest. As she was walking through the forest, she noticed a lone horse tied to a tree* "Huh i wonder what it's doing here" *She would say softly to herself as she looked through her bag to see if she had any fruits or vegetables that she brought for herself but never finished. Thankfully, she did have an apple and a few carrots. With those in hand, she would slowly and carefully approach the horse*
Sandra
*The horse's ears would flick back at the sound of her approach, lifting its head as it gazed at her in uncertainty and began taking a couple steps back. From throughout the wilderness, the sounds of life could be heard with the chittering of a bird rising just above the rest. Whoever's horse this was, it seemed that it was cautious around other people, timid even more so.*
Racheal
"Shhhh it's okay... I don't want to hurt you" *She would say as she held the fruit and carrots out in front of her. She would place it on the ground before backing away again to give the horse some space* "See? I come in peace" *She would say softly as she smiled at it*
Sandra
*The horse tail would flick to the side as it watched her reveal the food she had with her, soon drawing its snout closer to take one of the carrots from her hand. It ate away at it, keeping an eye on her as he did as if half expecting her to try something unbeknownst to the fact that he probably wouldn't be able to run far with the rope tying him to the tree. From behind the trees of the forest, the quiet sound of something clicking into place could be heard followed by a pause. The horse lifted his head, gazing around for a moment before nearing the woman once more for the food she had.*
Racheal
*She would smile as she was glad the horse liked the food. Upon hearing the clicking noise she would look up and look at her surroundings. She would pay attention to the horse but seeing the horse payed no mind to it, she felt a little bit reassured but she kept looking at her surroundings* "Hello? Is anyone there?" *She would call out. She didn't want to show any signs of fear or weakness*
Sandra
*Silence. No response came from where the noise originally resonated as it was soon drowned away from the awakening creatures of the night with only the subtle shifting of movement to such anyone specific being there.*"Hello."*Finally came a low, monotone voice in return. It didn't sound harsh in any way, more so of casual greeting despite whoever it was not showing themselves. The Horse lifted his head, giving a sort of snort of exasperation before eventually moving away from Adeliza.*"Fancy seeing someone else out here this late in the day, but I suppose it happens too often to be of any surprise."
Racheal
*She would be a bit sad that the horse moved away from her but she would turn in the direction of the voice* "Well actually i was heading home and saw this horse, which i assume must be yours, and decided to feed it some fruit and carrots" *She would say as she looked around at the bushes, trying to spot where the voice was exactly coming from and trying to see if she saw any movement*
Jamie
*From behind the trunk of one of the trees, the man would slowly walk out from it. With the orange rays of the sun shining onto him in his departure of the shade, it made him to appear more of a golden look in the dying sunlight. A cloak shrouded over his torso, coming just short of his boots. In one gloved hand sat a crossbow, loaded up with a bolt in suggestion of it being the source of the clicking noise while around his neck would be a string tying down to a whistle at the end of it with a wolffish design to it. 

While that half seemed normal enough, the one odd thing was the mask he wore, bearing the face of a pig that came just to where his pink hair extended past it. The mask covered about half his face, leaving his mouth visible enough to show he wasn't fully a pig.*"You'd be correct and sad to hear it, would have figured you for a Monster Hunter coming out in these woods of all places."*He'd respond with a grin as he causally walked out into the clearing, nearing his horse to give it a small pat on the snout.*
Racheal
"Oh... I see..." *She would say as she watched him move from behind the tree to his horse* "I'm sorry if i've disturbed whatever you were doing" *She would say as she took a few steps back to give them some space but also so that she could get more acquainted with him a bit more before letting her guard down*
Jamie
"Oh no, I'm sorry for disturbing you from what you were doing."*He'd reiterate back with a lack of any real sincerity.*"Didn't disrupt me until Tzu alerted me of something being amiss."*With the name being spoken, a nearby branch would slightly sway as a small creature scuttled along it. A flash of brown fur would hop down from it, landing upon the Elf's shoulders as the bird-like creature would gaze at Addy with narrowed eyes. It was a Furrow it seemed, what Addy could assume was this 'Tzu' Terrel had mentioned.*

"You two seemed to be having such a beautiful moment. Would have ended it sooner, but I doubt my horse will ever forgive me for letting him pass up on a free meal after my wolf got one of his own."*He'd say all so casually as if talking to a friend which by the mention of all these animals, questionably seemed like he had a lot of animals roaming around at the very least. To think that would be any more strange with the man already taking the appearance of a pig. Perhaps not.*
Racheal
*She would raise an eyebrow at everything he was saying but she also refused to make eye contact with the sparrow for she figured it was being very defensive right now* "Well your horse seemed so lonely and there was barely any grass on the ground so i couldn't let it go hungry now, could i?" *She would say as she turned her attention back to the horse and held out another carrot for it* "Though from everything you're saying, it sounds like you have quite an admiration for animals or am i quite mistaken?"
Jamie
"You can say that or you can call me crazy for having more animals than what people would consider sane."*While he spoke, his horse gave a slow shake of his head, trotting past the Elf as he went to take another carrot from Adeliza.*"And seems like you managed to get on good terms with Carl here, even managed to survive Tzu's wrath."*He'd say tilting his head to the side to gesture to the small Furrow on his shoulder that seemed to be angrily chittering at her. A smile formed on his face in humor of the creature.*"Don't think I've ever seen him so ferocious before, you're quite lucky to survive."
Racheal
"Well would tzu like a treat?" *She would say as she pet Carl's snout with a smile while he ate the food she had in her hand* "Well I love animals so I personally don't find you crazy for having all those animals" *She would then turn to look at tzu*
Jamie
*Terrel would raise a hidden eyebrow from beneath his mask in question of what she asked.*"Trust me if he wanted a treat, he'd have already taken it for himself."*The Pig Elf carefully grabbed the Furrow from his shoulder, giving him a light rub along his back with his gloves hands which seemed to quiet the bird's rantings before Terrel would eventually hold him out to Addy.*"Tzu is just stressed from all the wolves most likely or anything really. Not the best history he's had I'd say."
Racheal
"Oh I see" *She would say as she reach her hand out towards the bird, trying not to frighten it* "But I must say that's quite a brave and strong bird" *She would say as she smiled at it*
Jamie
"Don't cater to his ego. He can be quite full of himself."*Terrel would say jokingly. The Furrow kept still in Terrel's hands, sniffing at Addy's before it would eventually decide to hop from one hand to another and run up along her arm. Terrel would turn away while he did, raising the whistle up to his mouth and blowing into it while he walked along his horse's side to one of the saddle bags. The high pitched sound of the whistle would be brief, only stirring a slight amount of alert from the other animals before they would eventually calm down once more in possibility of this being a common occurrence. After a short pause of nothing happening, Terrel would eventually allow the whistle to drop from his mouth and fall back down to its original resting position while he looked out around at the forest beyond.*
Racheal
*She would giggle as she felt the bird run up her arm, nuzzling it a little bit once it reached her shoulder. She would then go back to petting the horse as she rested her forehead against it for a but a moment for when she heard the whistle she would instantly look up and be slightly alarmed* "What on earth was that for?!"
Jamie
*At first Terrel remained silent as he didn't look back at her, waiting and watching for something or someone maybe.*"Give him a moment, he's still new to this."*He answered, not exactly explaining who 'he' was. After a few moments there would be the rapid sound of footsteps. Bursting out of the shrubbery in a ball of white fur, the two would find themselves being met with the panting face of a pure white wolf or at least it probably used to be before it's fur had ended matted from all the leaves and dirt it must have ran through before getting here. The Wolf itself looked barely much larger than a puppy and with the way it's tail wagged to and fro it probably wasn't any more mature than one either.*"There we go."*Terrel said, lowering himself to the ground so that the wolf could run up to him and receive praise.*"Any longer and it would have been embarrassing."*For him or the wolf, it would have been hard to tell which he was talking of.*
Racheal
*She would giggle a bit as she saw the wolf pup* "Awwww it's so cute!" *She would say as she bent down the ground as well to see if the pup would come to her* "I really want a pet like this and hopefully I can get one, one day" *She would say as she made sure tzu didn't fall off of her shoulder and that Carl didn't get upset at her not petting him anymore or feeding him from her hand. There would however be food on the ground for him so he could eat that to his hearts content but that was the last of the snacks she had*
Jamie
"Don't let the fluff fool you, they can be quite the troublemakers."*He said, staring down at the Wolf. The pup would tilt his head to the side before eventually taking advantage of Terrel being close to his level as he would start licking at the Elf's face.*"You really make it hard for me to make a point Floof..."*Terrel eventually stood back up to his full height, glancing back at Addy as she tried to split her showing of affection between all the animals and soon stated that she too wanted one of her own.*"Well shouldn't be too hard. I'm sure even Salvania have places where you can get one. Would at least explain how I left with more than I started."
Racheal
*She would giggle at the behaviour of the wolf pup* "Yea i'm sure it won't be too hard to find one but this little one here must make for quite a lovely cuddle buddy" *She would say as she held her arms out for the pup with a smile on her face* "He's just so fluffy and adorable though i do see what you mean by how they can be troublemakers but i'm sure once he's older, he'll make quite a fine wolf"
Jamie
*The wolf pup darted around Adeliza as his owner got up, sniffing at her while somehow managing to move from one side to the next in his bundled excitement.*"Oh I'm sure he will, but he's not the trouble maker I'm worried about, it's the other two."*He stated in emphasis of all the animals surrounding them. His horse let out a tired snort as if feeling burdened by the small wolf pup as the horse soon found himself coming to lay down on the ground and watch them. With the treats now gone, the horse would only sit and glance the pair tiredly. Meanwhile, with the release of the wolf pup, Tzu would find himself taking shelter atop Addy's head, chittering down to the wolf pup from his perch.*
Racheal
"The other two? Meaning carl and tzu?" *She would say as she reached up to stroke tzu's back gently* "It's okay tzu, i won't let anything happen to you" *She would say as she turned her attention the pup once more* "And you, little one, need to calm down a little bit" *She would say as she held her hands out while giggling a little bit. She would occasionally take a glance at carl to make sure he was okay*
Jamie
"No, they're actually the most mature of the bunch."*He'd say.*"Well more or less anyways."*Carl gave out a disgruntled whinny towards Terrel in response, causing the wolf pup to turn his head to the Horse in newfound curiosity.*"Floof."*Terrel would eventually say before bringing the whistle to his mouth and holding it there. The Wolf pup would turn to look at his owner with his tail wagging excitedly, taking a few good moments before he would eventually get the message and walk back over to Terrel, coming to sit at his feet. 

The Elf waited a few moments longer for the wolf pup to finally settle down before he would turn to Carl and reach down towards the saddle bags. As he opened one, the tiny heads of a couple of grey wolf pups could be seen from it and soon enough, Terrel would carefully reach into the bag to pick up the two pups. The Wolf pups seemed to be dozing rather peacefully, their eyes shut tight with the rise and falls of their small chests signifying that they had fallen asleep. Floof looked over at the two pups excitedly, his tail wagging beneath him while he tried his best to sit still.*"Meet two and three."*He'd say in a quieter voice despite knowing full well the pups could probably hear him anyways but were too tired to care. Terrel sat down down on the ground, resting the two pups on his lap before he'd continue.*"Just recently got the two of the them from my visit to Salvania so haven't yet come up with a name for them."
Racheal
*She would get up quietly and move to sit next to him but she tried her best not to be too loud so that the pups didn't wake up* "They're absolutely adorable" *She would whisper softly as she brought tzu down to her shoulder using her finger* "Well if you need help coming up with names, i'd definitely be happy to help" *She would say as she smiled at terrel. She had already come up with a name for the wolf pup that she wanted to get so she certainly knew how annoying that process can be*
Jamie
*The Furrow would reluctantly slide off her head, now finding himself at an even lower perch while he cautiously watched the wolves from his new shoulder placement. With Terrel being close, the Furrow debated on making a quick dash for it, but any quick movements could be enough to get the pups' attention.*"Might end up getting too attached if you tried to and who knows when you'd ever see them again eh?"*He'd say, tilting his head back a bit.*"After all you still have to get home for the night."
Racheal
*She could sense that tzu wanted to go back to terrel so she would hold her finger out for tzu so that he could hop onto her finger and when he did, she would place him on terrel's head carefully so that the pup would not notice* "Well once i get my own pup, i could use a bit of help in training him and if we became friends, then all of our pups could become friends too" *She would say as she smiled at terrel and reached out to floof to pet him* "I can also stay out here with you for the night if you'd like"
Jamie
*Terrel snorted in suppressed laughter at the thought, knowing very well how much he traveled for her to think that they'd ever see each other again after this night. Heck there were some people he had once met ages ago that he'd still have yet to see again, but he didn't say anything against her words deciding to let her believe it over his thoughts of doubt. With her placing Tzu back on his head, he found himself getting a face full of the bird's tail before he had finally scrambled up and vanished within the pig elf's pink hair.*

"Your choice."*Terrel would say to her offer, running a hand along the sleeping wolf pups as if to coax them into sleeping longer after whatever chaos they committed to get this tired.*"Forests get real dangerous at night though."
Racheal
"I know but i want to spend more time with this fluff ball because it's also possible that i may never see you again and i do, ages from now, he may not be this small and fluffy every again" *She would say as she tried to get floof to come into her lap so that she could stroke his fur to help him fall asleep*
Jamie
*Terrel gazed at her, wondering if she'd really risk her life over a wolf she's just met. He supposed seeing the lot he had, he couldn't blame her really. Though in a real dangerous position only then could one see how'd they act. Floof would gaze at Addy from where he sat on the ground, his tail whisking back and forth while he waited for Terrel to finally let him go which in seeing the pup, Terrel would eventually allow the whistle to drop back down to his cloak. Floof instantly shot up hopping onto Addy as their forelegs would find theirselves being planted on her shoulder with the pup managing to make himself look taller in comparison to her sitting down.

Terrel laid back upon the ground while the pup had his fun, soon responding to Adeliza:*"Well it wouldn't be ages, more like a few weeks. Wolves age very fast you know."*Same could be said for a lot of the animals with elves oddly enough being the opposite at least appearance wise. At least she realized the slim chances of them meeting back up. There was no way he was going to bother explaining that to her.*"I was about to set up camp anyways. Sun's about to go down, but you've realized that already."
Racheal
*She would giggle as she felt the pup jump onto her and she would allow the wolf pup to lick her face as much as she wanted as she cuddled into his soft fur* "Hm i guess that's true but would you like some help setting up camp or do you want me to take care of this little one while you set it up?" *She would say as she held onto the pup tightly so that it wouldn't fall and hurt itself. Playing with this pup only made Adeliza more excited to get her own as she knew it would make her very happy. She only hoped her boyfriend would have the same amount of excitement as she did*
Jamie
"Don't worry about setting up camp, I got that at least half covered already."*He'd say, not yet moving from where he sat. With the forests growing darker under the weight of the setting sun, Terrel figured he'd might as well get a fire started before whatever wild creatures there were find them out here. 

Eventually he'd sit up, moving the wolf pups from his lap and laying them carefully on the ground so as not to disturb them while they slept. Moving away from them, he'd reach into the saddlebags of his horse to pull out a couple tools before finally standing up to wander the clearing for any sticks and twigs to use for a fire.

Floof licked at Addy's face soon moving his head away once more as he would jump down and move around her. Coming to discover her shoes, Floof would decide to try gnawing at them as if they were a toy of sorts.*
Racheal
"Hey! No! Bad boy!" *She would whisper yell as she tried to move him away from her shoes. If he chewed on them and left holes in them, well, there goes a good pair of shoes* "Please don't chew on those, those aren't toys and i'm sure they don't taste very great given all of the dirt and sand that's on them"
Jamie
*With Adeliza trying to move the wolf pup away from her shoes, a thought crossed his mind of this potentially being a game of sorts which only caused him to try to move back to her shoes and continue biting at them.*"Lesson One."*Terrel would say as he walked past her carrying a handful of sticks.*"Most canines have to grow out of their chewing phases as puppies."*He grabbed one of the sticks he carried and held it out to her.*"Try to spare your shoes from the torture of it."

*It seemed as if the Pig Elf spoke from experience, though any sign of his own clothing getting bitten or torn seemed to not be visible. Perhaps at some point he had to get new ones or rather found a way to renew the current ones so well into appearing as if they had not once been chewed on.*
Racheal
*She would nod as she took the stick from here and waved it in front of the pup's face* "How about we play with this, huh boy?" *She would say then turn to look at terrel* "Thank you" *She would say with a smile as she knew he was helping her so that when she got her own pup, she would know what to do*
Jamie
*Terrel gave a nod in silent response before walking away and placing down his sticks to reorganize the pile in order for it to better kindle the fire. He'd reach for his piece of flint, using the rock to help send off sparks in order to create small flame in the dried wood. With there not being as much grass around the area, he at least didn't have to worry about it catching fire while he sat upon the ground with his back turned to Addy, feeding the flames with more and more bits of shrubbery.

The Wolf Pup glanced up from her shoe to stare at the stick she held, his interest now caught by the new object. Floof let out a bark of excitement while he snapped at the stick to grab hold of it and in the noise he was creating, the sleeping pups would soon find themselves blinking awake to all the ruckus he was causing.*
Racheal
"Uh oh" *She would say as she would now have to worry about three super hyper puppies. She would then continue to play with floof to keep him distracted from the other two waking puppies* "Please try not to make so much noise my dear" *She would whisper to the puppy as she brought him into her lap*
Jamie
*With the stick now clamped in his jaws, Floof would tug at it, occasionally shaking his head to and fro in the game of tug o war. It seemed for the most part the only thing really keeping him quiet was the stick that muffled him. Meanwhile the other pups would roll over, pressing against one another for warmth now that they no longer took shelter in the saddlebags.

Terrel returned to Carl to grab a few cooking utensils and food he had kept in one of the bags, which seemed to be a collection of vegetables as he pulled each of them out. Terrel worked in silence, allowing the peace for Addy to enjoy playing with the wolves while he did his own work to prepare for the night. By now the sky was already darkening, shifting from a vibrant orange to now a darkened blue. The sun was gone and soon enough with it would be the rest of the light from the sky with the coming of night.*
Lance
*She would smile as she saw that the pups were going back to sleep and she would giggle softly at floof's cute behaviour. She would tug a little on the stick but not too much as she didn't want the stick to break. She would occasionally glance up at Terrel to see what he was up to*
Jamie
*Returning to his place by the fire, Terrel would silently put the vegetables together in the making of a sort of stew. From the top of his head, Tzu would peak out of his hair and watch him as he cooked. Quite an odd sight to see when watching from a distance.*"I'm guessing you used up all your snacks on the horse?"*He eventually asked to break the silence.

Floof lowered himself to the ground as he tugged at the stick, not letting up at Addy's small tugs in his wanting to claim the the inanimate object for his own. With everyone else doing their own thing, Carl was left to himself which the horse would slowly find himself closing his eyes as if to rest were he laid. He seemed tired enough as it was, most likely from carrying everything the whole way here. At least some sleep would be nice for him.*
Racheal
"Yea..." *She would say softly as she scooped up the pup in her arms as if he was her baby and went to go sit near terrel but not too close as she didn't want the pup to go near the fire or tzu* "What are you cooking though? And will there be enough for the two of us?" *She would say as she continued to play with the pup a little bit while stroking his fur in attempts to get it to calm down*
