Megan kept close behind Firiko as he led them onto a trail.
Tobias was following until he heard something lightly rustle in the bush. He stopped, freezing and listening. What was that??? The mystery of what it was made him anxious, and he didn't realize how far Megan and Firiko were getting without him.
Another wolf soon padded out of the brush. it was a young she-olf, with soft fluffy gray fur and wings.
(Never heard of an olf before lmao)
Tobias jumped back, a stinging chill up his back. "Un loup!!" He cried, "Un loup avec des ailés!!!" He wasn't surprised to see a wolf or the wings, but the two together frightened him a little.
Megan heard him cry out, and she whirled around. "Tobias!!!" She called back.
Firiko turned, spotting Tornado down the path.
Tornando, the young she-wolf, backed away in fright, all but bolting.
"A-Aide-moi!!!" Tobias stammered, backing away. As long as you don't hurt me, I won't hurt you… He shuffled back, still keeping a watchful eye on the winged wolf.
Megan carefully came back to him, but kept a good distance between the pair. "Just don't look at them directly in the eye… It may frighten them…" Because wolf or human alike, direct eye contact sorta scares me, too….
Firiko ran over, "Calamte, she's not gonna hurt you!" he called, slipping between Tobias and Tornado,
"….Alors….." Tobias muttered, still a bit flustered, "Qui est-elle? Une amie….? Ta sœur…?"
Megan nudged him lightly. "Relax…." She hissed, then said to Firiko, "He just wants to know who she is then so he can stop freaking out…."
"This is my cousin Tornado…" said Firiko, ruffling her fur. "She's pretty quiet, and is usually creeping around somewhere…"
Tobias raised his eyebrows, then waved sheepishly. "Bonjour…. Tornade… Euh– Tornado."
Megan bowed shallowly. "Likewise," She said softly. "I apologize if Tobias startled you…"
Tornado nodded, her eyes very large and curious as she studied them.
Tobias watched her back, just as intently.
Megan glanced at Firiko. "So how exactly are you related to her?"
"She's the daughter of my dad's older half sister…" said Firiko.
Tobias took a step forward and put his hand out, but took it back quickly and glanced at Firiko, saying, "Est-ce que je lui caresse?…." He frowned, realizing how weird it sounded. I don't think I should….
Megan nodded in response to Firiko's answer. "That makes sense…." I'm not very good at keeping track of family tree lineage… She glanced back at Tobias, a confused look on her face. "Now why on earth would you want to do that?"
Tornado came up to him, a bit hesitant, but was soon rubbing her head on his hand, her soft fur against his fingers.
Tobias was very surprised, but he pet her nonetheless. "Ahh…" He began, "Vous êtes très agréable, eu, Tornado?…"
Megan just left them be. "How old is Tornado? It's hard to tell when she's a wolf, or… Like something of the sort," She said quickly.
"10" said Firiko, "and technically she's a halfblood like me."
"I see…." I can assume he means 10 years…
Tobias continued to rub her fur happily. I'm not too sure what someone like her is doing out here in the wilderness…
"Well, Tobias," Megan began, "I think we should get going again, right?" She glanced back at Firiko. "Unless we have time…"
"There's always time" said Firiko grinning at the low growl in Tornado's throat. "I think she likes you"
Tobias grinned, now petting her with both hands. She's so soft and fluffy!!…. I wish I had a dog as furry as her…
"That's nice that you're getting along with someone near your own age," Megan shifted her weight. Considering he has trouble back at home…. Sure she still may be a wolf, yet… I'm not sure if she can shift like Skye can…. If that's what it means to be a halfblood….
Tornado grinned, suddenly padding ahead onto the path, turning back to watch Tobias curiously.
Tobias watched her walk away, and he still had his hand out. "Erm…. Où allez-vous?" He carefully followed her, slipping by Megan and Firiko. Is she trying to tell me something?
Tornado shifted, becoming a small girl, with large wings. Her wings and hair were white, with pink streaks in them. "Come on!" she called softly, before dashing off down the path.
Tobias glanced back at Megan, who just shrugged. "I think she asked you to follow her…"
He turned back and pursued Tornado down the path. "Qu'est-ce que tu veux me montrer??…" He said quietly. Well where is she taking me in the first place?…
Firiko watched them go, smiling, "She doesn't normally take to strangers like that" he mused, "Come on I think I know where they're going.
"That's interesting…." Megan said to herself, following them. "So where do you think they're going?….."
Tobias flicked a glance back to see the two of them not too far behind. It's good they're coming along…. I know Tornado seems trustworthy, but it's too early to be so sure….
