First Impressions Time: Early evening of a particularly blistering day. The sun crowns the horizon, reluctant to release its last holds to the night.Weather: Only an hour ago it was ranging up to 115 degrees. Now a cloudless night is nearing from the west, with the shadows not yet cooling the thirsty ground.Location: Actually some distance into Aquene lands, far enough in to meet members of the pack but not far enough for a young wolf to understand that she'd reached her destination.Liva looked around concernedly. Her directions had been simple: Follow the river. And yet, looking around, she didn't see it anywhere. "Huh," she muttered, pausing. She turned a full three hundred and sixty degrees, and then again, before she remembered what she was doing. The mountains were on the other side of her, then when she'd been in the loner lands. That meant...
She wasn't quite sure. Nor had she realized that the pack's land encompassed the entire plains area, including the very ground she stood on. "I think I'm lost," she smiled to herself.
The smile faded as she was forced to lay down and rest once more. The heat was killing her. She thought she'd be alright as long as she simply followed the river. Water, however warm and depleted it was, was probably the safest place to be. And then those crows had come along, and she'd been side-tracked chasing them, and here she was.

Kaden hadn't expected to come across another wolf here. He had actually wandered off to be alone, and ponder over his confusing feelings about Mawla's death. He wondered what he had felt about her, he wondered where his kindness for other wolves and natural caring became something more. He imagined Nevar's tears. Kaden didn't think he had ever been in love. Absently, the long flap of his tongue hung out and became dry in the increasing heat. Every breath surrendered moisture to the air. He happened to have passed the river, but he hadn't even notice his thirst until now.
That's when the flame of orange color caught his eye. Kaden's mouth tried to re-wet itself to no avail. He supposed he ought to continue and investigate any loner he came across on these lands, even though he wasn't in the mood. With every lanky step he tried to change his current mentality, to be on his best friendliness for her.
"Are you alright there?" he asked, looking down at her tired cream face. Cream would have turned to dust in this heat, and he was thinking that's how she felt right now. When he spoke, his dry tongue threatened to stick to the roof of his mouth and never budge.

Liva looked up, blinking rapidly. If it was possible to look more flustered then she already was, she would. "Oh, yes," she said, breathing deeply. She almost coughed as the dry air burned its way through her throat, and she licked her jaws widely. It might as well have been sandpaper against sandpaper. Still, she couldn't quite erase the excitement of meeting yet another wolf. "Uh, actually, I was looking for directions," she said sheepishly. "I was told of a pack near here, led by Nevar?"
She still wasn't sure if she wanted to join a pack. She did even know if they'd let her leave peacefully, if she didn't. But Anye had told her good things about the pack, and that was all she was going for. Still, the life she had led was infinitely different. She really didn't have any limits to what she was allowed to do; she hunted when she was hungry, and slept when she was tired. It had been easier then the life she had now, but nowhere near as exciting.
She was open, though, to pretty much anything. Not that she knew exactly what was out there on the scale of 'everything'.

Kaden watched the loner lift herself from the ground, his eyes squinting against the sun. He found himself grateful that he at least had short fur.
"Yes," he said "you are in the pack lands now. Let me lead you to our alpha." He offered this in a non-demanding way, as if she could decline and instead be on her way in the opposite direction. The truth was he would lead her to Nevar or out of their territory, and nowhere else. "My name is Kaden." His head made a polite gesture.
