Lunar Songs -open-

Eric nodded and started to walk away, but paused as he stepped up onto a fallen tree and looked down at Thorn. "What are you doing out here anyway?" he asked, stepping off the fallen tree and dropping the short distance to the ground, before landing softly on the ground. He waited for her to catch up before walking further, wondering, since she was a werewolf, if she had ever even been within the forest. Then it made him wonder who's pack she was in. "Who's your Alpha?" he questioned, wondering why he suddenly cared.

[Thorn]

Thorn walked slowly behind Eric. "I'm in the forest because it's a lot more welcoming than home." She smiled. "I thought it'd be emptier too. And I guess your Eclipse guy... wolf... is my Alpha. I think... I wanted to join the Infiniteria pack, and I heard that Eclipse is the Aplha... right?" She looked down at Eric. She found it amusing that he was more knowledgable about the forest and - most likely- the pack too, but he was still very young. Go figure.

Eric paused as Thorn stated that she thought Eclispe was her Alpha. "You haven't met him yet, have you?" he asked, suddenly reconsidering his decline of Eclipse's offer to join the pack. He would have happily joined the Infiniteria pack just to be closer to Thorn anyday.

Shaking his head, the five year old pup reached down and picked something up from the ground. Shaking it off, he turned and handed Thorn her jacket, while sniffing at it. "It smells strange," he said, really meaning that it didn't smell completely like Thorn, as if it had been someone elses before she had gotten ahold of it.

[Thorn]

Thorn smiled. "It was my brother's. I guess it's not totally mine yet," she laughed. "And what were you doing out in the forest, Eric?" She took her jacket and slipped it on gratefully, almost instantly feeling warmer. "What do you think- should I join his pack? You know him better than I do." She looked down at Eric again. He seemed fairly nice once you got to know him. Thorn combed her hair back with her fingers after it blew in her face once more. I should have put it in a ponytail, she thought with a smile.

There was a note of longing within her voice that made Eric drop the subject of her jacket with no comment. He would let that subject alone, at least until she decided to talk about it herself. To her comment on wither or not Eric thought she should join Eclipse's pack, he simply rolled his shoulders, completely ignoring her question about his reason for being in the forest.

"Eclipse is a good, strong leader. A bit off when it comes to being human or dealing with humans . . . . but he's a good leader when it comes to werewolf dealings," he stated, glancing in the general direction of his home and mother who was bound to be waking soon. The air was becoming a bit nippier, which meant the sun would be coming up soon.

"I should be heading home . . . . My mother will be worried if she wakes up and I'm not there," he said, starting to turn, but paused, glancing back. "Do you want to come meet her? Eclipse is bound to show up at the house sometime soon, so you can even meet him."

[Thorn]

Thorn smiled with an arched eyebrow. "Thanks for the invitation," she laughed. She realized he hadn't answered her questions, but she could piece it together. He came in the forest to change into a wolf, he cut himself, and stopped halfway through. Or something like that... "I'll come with you." She didn't bother to add that her parents wouldn't worry if she wasn't there. They'd probably have an impromtu party. She stopped smiling as she thought about them. "Lead the way."

[Ulv]

Eric nodded and turned, heading back toward town, pointing out different places within the forest, trying to help Thorn if she actually planned to stay within the pack. Plus, normally a silent boy, the silence had started to make him antsy.

((Thorn, you can go ahead and post Thorn's reply at Katie's apartment. Just start a new thread and Eric and Eclipse will be right behind you.))
