Rhapsody licked his left hand as he rested next to a small pool of water in the forest. He had a run-in with an irritated raccoon and it took a number on his hand. He leaned over the edge of the pool and dipped his hand into the water, small streams of blood escaping from the teeth holes on his wrist and dissipating in the water. He breathed slowly, his heart rate going back to normal after the scuffle, though he was still on edge; everywhere he turned, he caught a different scent. Most of them were from wolves, so he assumed there was a ragtag pack around somewhere and he was hoping he was out of their territory - the last thing he wanted was to be jumped by a group of wolves. He withdrew his hand from the pool and examined it with clear blue eyes; blood still welled up in the respective places, but it wasn't as bad as it looked before. He leaned back and brought his knees to his chest, wrapping his arms around them and looking over to the side.

Akilina spent most her day following a unknown scent, when she came up to a small pond. It was a young wolf to whom she did not recognize, she was instantly on guard. "and whom might you be?" she asked with an accent. "I don't think I've seen you around." her grin was wolfish.

Rhapsody turned his head and looked at the she-wolf. She was smaller than he anticipated, which meant she probably had some sort of power or something. "Never been around," He grunted, the hair on the back of his neck sticking up faintly. "Rhapsody," He said, looking back to his hand. "Don't think it's 'whom'," He added, looking sideways. "Think it's 'who'," He suggested. "Just an option."

She glared coldly at him "Then what are you doing here...?" she sat across the pond, a spear throw away. She could just simply phase into a hawk and fly away if this got aggressive. then again Jasper was near by, she was sure if she howl the big alpha wolf would be there in no time. "It is not uncommon for a drifter to be here but I am curious. though that is funny, most the drifters that come this way either become apart of the pack or they betray us."

"Or become part of the pack and then betray us," Mikael said in his earnest tone, walking up to Akilina and plopping down beside her on the pond's bank; he smiled honestly, offering her the butchered corpse of what appeared to be a rabbit with a bloody hand. "Here Akilina, I got something for you to eat." He then set the rabbit down on the grass, putting his hands in the water and cleaning them off before splashing some of the water onto his face to get rabbit gore off from around his mouth. Mikael glanced across to the stranger, giving him the same smile and a slightly puzzled tilt of his head. "Hey, who are you? Sorry, I only got enough food for one person..." He glanced to Akilina in slight worry, blinking. "Should I go hunting again?"

She nipped at the rabbit. "I don't know..." she glanced at Rhapsody. "it all depends if this man is friend or foe." Akilina isn't very kind to strangers see who she almost immediately attacked Wendi.

Rhapsody remained calm and glanced over at Mikael for a moment before shaking his head slowly. "Ate recently. Thanks, though," He said and added, "Not looking to cause trouble, princess," He flared his nostrils and looked down at his hand. "Just pausing for a rest. Nice to see hospitality from strangers, though," He said sarcastically, keeping his eyes half-closed as he examined the bites on his hand.

Akilina gulped down her pride, It chapped her ass seeing some one so laid back when they were in the middle of a crisis. "Rhapsody, was it?....yes I suppose it was," she paces. "do you plan on staying here, Rhapsody?" She sighed, calming down.

"Maybe," He replied simply, looking over at her as she paced. "Depends. Might not stay if keep getting vibe that I'm not welcome here," His gaze drifted over to Mikael. "Do this often?" He asked Akilina. "Seem on edge." Or maybe she was just mean. He didn't know.

"We really shouldn't fight," Mikael said with a slightly nervous smile, crossing his legs and leaning on his knees in a relaxed, yet wary position; he appeared ready to spring either forward or back in any relative instance. The werewolf then glanced across the pond to Rhapsody, shrugging his narrow shoulders. "Yeah, I guess she's kind of like that sometimes... She's been a bit wary ever since..." He cleared his throat and looking down at the grass. "The last stranger we took into the pack wasn't exactly trustworthy." Mikael then smiled at Rhapsody; if he were in his more bestial form, his tail would now be wagging. "But I'm sure you're different, right?"

"Hope so," Rhapsody cupped his hand and dipped it into the water, withdrawing a bit of it. He hastily sipped it and licked the excess off his palm. "Don't want to give impressions. Not really the 'betraying' type," He blinked slowly and looked over to Akalina with a strange serenity that might've seemed conspicuous. His own tail probably would've wagged slowly too; he wasn't sure about the girl, but this other guy wolf seemed friendly enough.

Akilina stiffened, her features softer now. She plops down with a whine. "I don't need this right now" she covered her muzzle with her paws. "for all we know is hes from another pack or is infected like that other wolf with the hunter." she said exasperated.

Mikael glanced from her to the other male with a slightly confused expression, then seemed to decide something in his own mind; he stood abruptly, stepping on a makeshift bridge of rocks and walking across the pond until he was on the same bank as Rhapsody. He then crouched a few feet from the white haired man, giving him a tentative sniff or two and then blinking in thought. "He doesn't smell like other wolves. And he doesn't seem sick or anything, unless whatever scratched him gave him rabies." Mikael smiled across the pond at Akilina as if seeking praise. "He's safe!"

As the male crossed the pond approached Rhapsody, he kept his eyes on him and gazed at him as he sniffed him. In turn, he leaned forward and caught the male's scent as well, his imaginary tail wagging a little more. "Not from another pack," He agreed, making a little more of an effort to be friendly to the picky she-wolf. He hoped she wasn't a high position in the pack; she was kind of a whiner. "Good hunter, can hold my own in fights. Fast runner, can't blend in very well," He started listing off his strengths and weaknesses; he was the newcomer, so he might as well put his stuff out on the floor.

Akilina perked up, she new the pack was in need of new members and she wasn't above accepting any one. She just need to know if she could trust him. "where do you come from exactly?" she asked, her own tail began to wag.

"I don't remember where, exactly," He said slowly, looking down slightly as he spoke. "Location, that is. Used to belong to a mountain man in the states. Unfortunate accident and he got lost. Couldn't find his scent," He explained, resting his head on his knees. "Decided to travel, stayed out of packs. Not... used to wildlife," He said with uncertainty. He didn't know how to properly explain that though he was a wolf, he didn't have as many survivor skills as a wild wolf. Either that, or he wasn't used to doing so under the orders of higher-up wolves instead of humans.

Mikael frowned slightly at the new wolf. "You were a pet?" he said in a slightly confused tone, cocking his head to the side and glancing to Akilina before his honey brown eyes once more flickered to Rhapsody. "Of course you're not used to wildlife, you got scratched up. How long have you been out here without your man?"

"being a pet doesn't sound very....appealing, you enjoyed that?" Akilina gave him an interesting look.
