Everything was silent...
Everything was peaceful...
All except for a lone figure walking through inbetween the trees of the forest...
Alone...
@lupe@
Holding the spear tightly, the wolf slowly walked through the trees, keeping her guard up and preparing herself to run if anyone, or anything, threatens her...

Also in the woods, someone was stalking through the trees, not being aware of the wolf's presense in the forest. However, this figure seemed not to be on guard... but rather, hunting.

She kept on walking before she spotted a river. "Water..."
She walked over, glanced around before placing the spear down to cup some water in her hands to drink...

The figure had heard a faint noise, and in curiosity, followed the source of it, until he came to the river, though he didn't step out of hiding. Then, he could see the wolf. "...it's dangerous for a woman like you to be wandering alone, in'nit, love?" he spoke up, without stepping out of the woods, though his Cockney accent would likely alert her to his presense (though in his defense, that was likely intentional).

Gasping, she grabbed her staff and stood up in defense. "W...Who's there?!"

"Hey, hey, no need to get shocked now." the figure said, as the wolf could hear that he was moving to a different location. "I mean you no harm, love." he added in a more suave kind of way.

She frowned, her ears perked up. "Who are you...? Show yourself..."

"Certainly, love." the figure said, before stepping out of the woods... ...and the figure happened to be a skunk, who had a small crossbow strapped to his wrist, and a semi-serious look on his face. "The name's Geoffrey St. John, but you can call me Geoff, love."

"I see... Hello, Geffeory..." She said, relaxing herself. "My name is Lupe."

"Lupe, eh?" Geoffrey repeated, as he held his chin, looking at the wolf with some interest. "That's a nice name." he said, before he leant against a tree, folding his arms. "So, what's your story, love?"

"My story?" She repeated, confused. "W..Well... I've been running away from these humans when a human from an Indian tribe who raised me betrayed us... I got seperated from my pack that has our kind and animals..."

Hearing that, Geoffrey scoffed. "Humans... bunch'a swines, they are." he said, with a roll of his eyes. "You can't trust 'em; they'll just find excuses to hunt you, and even for things that they can get away with... am I right, love?"

She shook her head. "I don't believe that... If what you said was true, then I would have been killed a long time ago..."

"Kill?" Geoffrey said, before chuckling a bit. "Love, they won't settle for killing us. Cruel as they are, they still 'aven't got the courage to actually off us, unless they're with the military... but they can still hunt you, mock you, banish you, despise you... just because you're not one of them, love. Because you're different." he said, putting heavy emphasis on the word 'different'.

She stared at the skunk before she turned away from him. "Say what you want to say, but... you have never met human kindness as I have... those who knew me banished the one who betrayed me and my pack... and helped us escape by holding them back... If they're dead for saving my kind, then I will not accept your ideals..."

"Tsch... I honestly doubt that any human could be kind to us, love." Geoffrey scoffed, before he stood up, away from the tree. "Trust me; you'll find out that there ain't many like those you say saved you. Then you'll see that I'm right."

"I already know... there are humans who will accept us, fear us or hate us..." She said. "But, I guess you've seen so much hatred from humans that you see them as evil creatures..."

With a scoff, Geoffrey turned away from Lupe. "If they had killed a family member of yours, you wouldn't see anyone of them in a good light." he said curtly, before he began heading into the forest again, though not fully.

She gasped. "Wait... they killed someone important to you...?"

Geoffrey stopped, but he still didn't turn to face Lupe. "...my father. I still don't know why they did that; my father was practically a saint, love... and they still had him executed. And I... couldn't do anything about it..."

"You had nothing to do with it, love." Geoffrey said, as he looked back at Lupe from over his shoulder. "So don't take the blame for something you weren't responsible for. There's only one group to blame for that injustice..."

She nodded silently. She could tell that even if she shows him that humans can be kind to them... he'll still remain that burning hatred that took his father away...

"...in any case..." Geoffrey began, without turning back to face Lupe. "I've heard rumors of a military encampment somewhere in these woods. If I were you, love, I'd get out of here." he said, before he began moving again. "But then again, I'm not getting out of here... not yet, at least."

She perked her head up. "...what...? You're not planning to..."
