Howl like a wolf

Well, she showed up as promised to where he was the last time and...He wasn't there. Nao frowned. Where could he be? It was hard to lose track of a giant wolf...But then again, it was hard when you couldn't see it in the first place. Luckily for her, his aura was unique compared to the rest of the creatures in the forest and she had finally gotten another staff, this one much more durable than that old wooden one. It was much better in comparison too. Much more reliable! She ventured further than she had ever gone before; far enough to get to the point where the vibe of the forest ended up being downright creepy.

Where are you?... she frowned, picking up the pace in fear of her losing the trail. Luckily she was downwind where canines couldn't sniff her presence out. The woods here just felt wrong but that could be because the lack of sun or because it began to set. She leapt into a tree, settled onto a low branch and concentrated. Hm...The trail was growing faint, but he was close by...

She jumped down from the tree, crunching a few dead twigs beneath her weight. Oh crap!. Nao froze for a second and was suddenly very aware of the fact that she was alone in the dark forest. Had she passed the boundaries where it was forbidden to go? People said there were monsters here...

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to go this deep into the woods. She was afraid of what might be out there and a part of her was grateful she wouldn't be able to see it. Back at home, she was always told to stay indoors or stay around the family home. She was never allowed to venture out into the forest around her own home because of the very same reason; monsters. She paused upon hearing a faint snarl off to her right. Oh crap, something must have spotted her. She bit her lip, white-knuckling her staff until--

Whatever it was said her name, but the voice was awfully familiar. She instantly perked up. "Attel? Is that you? Oh thank god, it's creepy out here!" relief flooded back into her veins and she moved towards the source of the voice. With enough concentration, she was able to track that familiar aura and felt much safer than before. "What're you doin' out here? It feels dangerous..."

Suddenly she felt very stupid for asking such a question. Wow he's a wolf for cying out loud. Why wouldn't he be out here? "Well uh yeah...But I heard there's a place in the forest where it's too dangerous...A Forbidden Forest...Something like that," she outstretched her hand that disappeared into the fluff of his coat and her smile brightened. "That's much better! I was looking for you in the same spot I met you at, but you weren't there so I went looking for you," Heh, looking. "Came back as promised! Thought maybe it would be a fun idea to camp with you!"
