Kisses looked around feeling herself breath heavily as her pupils dilated hastily. She sat herself on the floor feeling herself pant as she held at her chest feeling her heartbeat within her. She lifted her hands up, wiping away at her tears she felt coming down onto her clay cheeks.

She felt that similar feeling, this time it was worse though since she wasn't able to let herself just pass out, that was something she could do but this time she just had to live with her feelings. A pressure within her, feeling herself panic, and suddenly all her feelings and textures around her were too much to handle. She couldn't talk at that moment.

Being alone was helping though. The thoughts of how she would go back loomed in her mind a bit but, in this case she felt she had a general idea of how to get back home.

There was a crunching sound under her as she walked forward close to where the fountain was.
"This is where I met Mimi." Kisses said softly to herself as she sat herself down onto the fountain. She dangled her feet onto the ground letting them touch the dirt and getting her white fur dirty.

She felt herself let out a breath as the cold air came up her throat into the world leaving a little cloud of moisture in its presence.

The sound of more crunching made her perk up as she turned her head to see the familiar black ram. It stared at Kisses as Kisses could only stare back at it.
"Mother Nature?" Kisses said as her nose twitched, she felt that similar curiosity again as she stood herself up away from sitting on the fountain.

She looked at them warily as she stepped closer and reached at her arm. Her fingers touched at the mangled black fur before letting her palm lay on the head of it. The fur of the goat ran in between her fingers as the black ram.

Kisses pursed her lips as she tugged her fingers in deeper with a harder breath, feeling tired suddenly. The ram stood still patiently before slowly and then heavily pressing its head and horns near where Kisses chest was.

It was a push at first making Kisses almost stumble back for a second but Mother Nature began pushing making Kisses grunt and she held onto its horns. "What are you- Ah-"

She felt herself get lifted from the ground making her squirm "Hey! Huh-?" Kisses said as she tried to struggle her way out of the much stronger individual.
"Stop you'll fall" A deeper voice said that was snuggling their nose closer to her with a grunt. They took a step back away from the ram as it stared at them.

"Go. Black Shepard, you're scaring the damsel." Kisses gasped softly, she wasn't used to people speaking like that about Mother Nature, it was talked about almost as if talking about a deity, at least the people she's met so far have talked about them like that.

The Ram made an angry sound of a 'bahhh' before prancing away the grass beneath it dying underneath their hooves as it went further away.

Kisses crept around seeing the woman behind her. She could recognize her which surprised her. A wolf lady, paws engrossed into her hands and feet along with ears and a tail with light beige fur, definitely not super animalistic, almost like a werewolf.
She had mangled black hair and strong muscles, the bandages she had tightened along her chest making her look more androgynous. She had baggy pants that tightened at the ends with painted flowers on them.

The woman took Kisses hand into her furry one, she could feel the paw pads on the fingers and the long nails that needed a trimming. "I've been looking for you now for ages." She said deeply now looking into Kisses eyes.

"Huh?" She responded confused, "But... Isn't this the first time we've met." She said awkwardly.

"Only officially, I could smell you from anywhere, it's seeing you that's the issue" She said absent minded as she rubbed at Kisses porcelain hands that felt smooth on hers.
"You've drawn a lot of people besides me in already though, haven't you?"

"What?"
"Nothing. Are you hurt? I'll be taking care of you now." The woman said as she started to walk away from where the bending tree was inhabited.

"But I- I'm already with someone I don't know you-"
"You will won't you?" She said almost as if it was the obvious, raising a bushy brow at her as she cut Kisses off.

"That's not what I met." Kisses said annoyed as the other just hummed in acknowledgment but not responding to the others complaints.
"You know the first time someone offered me to live with them they at least made it feel like I had a choice in the matter." Kisses huffee as she looked at the ground and not the other's face.

Every once in a while the other would roll her back into her arm as they walked when Kisses started to slip downwards in her arm. The wolf seemed to value at least that going at a faster pace would just make it more troublesome for Kisses.
"You'll be fine with me, when you are okay you can go again. I can't just let you hurt when I'm around." A now grouchy voice said.

Kisses just grumbled in response," I'm not hurt though..." She said somberly, her confusion and irritation just becoming mush to her words as they kept passing the forest."Maybe I want to take care of you then" The woman stopped for a moment and pressed her head against the other's neck making Kisses pout.

"I don't get it."

"Is this not how you compete for someone?" She raised a brow at Kisses confusion now. "I'll have to be a better choice for you then I see." The wolf said, staring absently as they began walking again.

Kisses pursed her lips at the quiet tension again only seeming to be more awkward then it was before, which made her cringe.
"My name is Ryuga." She said, suddenly making Kisses perk up."O-oh uhm, Kisses" She responded quickly, making Ryuga have a pleasant hum in her tone.

"That's a pretty name." Ryuga said, making Kisses blush slightly, "Yours too."

Kisses brought her head up as Ryuga's walking seemed to slowen and reached up into what looked like an in-hill. With an opening. Wolves layed about before perking up at the sight of Ryuga with her pretty doll in hand.
The wolves sniffed up at Kisses as Ryuga set her down to stand again, seeing a more prominent height difference between them.

Kisses stood there awkwardly as she was sniffed about and Ryuga seemed pleased at the sight.
"Stay as long as you like, please" Ryuga said politely as she brought her inside the pack house.
