Joker had been wandering aimlessly through the lands. She smirked softly, realizing how far away she was from the pack lands, but she really couldn't care.
Her white fur was shining in the light, dazzling if I must say so. Her blue eyes brilliant as she looked around, and spotted the lake. She picked up into a lope, and moved toward the crystalline surface, lowering her maw to the water to lap up some precious liquid. With a sigh, she sat back, muscles contracting to fulfill the movement. She glanced about, before sliding to her belly.

Cerisse...
DeLuc gazed at the slowly rippling water in front of his paws as he lay on the soft grass.
Sometimes, he would wonder if he had picked the right path. His mission, to save all those wolves who needed to be saved, such a daunting task... But soon, he would become sane again. This was his duty.
He glanced up, noting a female wolf lying at the edge of the lake as well.
Well, well, perhaps another one to be saved?
DeLuc pushed himself to his feet, padding over towards the female, but not too close, as to not intrude into her personal space. "Hello, miss."

She jumped to her paws, startled slightly by his sudden appearance. She looked at him hard for a moment, and then snorted, sitting on her haunches.
"Hello, sir. Is there a reason for you being here?" [/i] She asked. Don't take it to heart. It was just how she was.
Her blue eyes pierced into his for a moment, before diverting and gazing across the lake.

"A reason, miss?" He cracked a small smile, watching her. "Why does one need a reason for anything in this world? Reasons are merely excuses that we make to ourselves to fake purpose into our lives."
He did not look away as her eyes stared at his, and when she looked away, he continued speaking.
"But I suppose I will ask you the same question, then, as a matter of politeness. What is your reason for being here?"
I suppose, though I do not wish to say it yet, my reason has always been my mission. But that is not why I came here, not directly.

"Not what I meant, brute." [/i] She said, chuckling slightly. "I meant, why are you talking to me?"[/i] She asked, looking back toward him.
She shook her canvas out idly, and then sighed gently as she felt her hair resettle it's self. She growled slightly, and then said "I got tired of sitting around in my pack lands. Is that a crime?" [/i] She was very spunky, and out spoken, no doubt about that.
She fell silent, and waited for him to speak.

"Why am I talking to you? Full of questions, aren't you, miss?" He closed his eyes and nodded slightly. "Very well. I talk to many wolves on my travels, and I see the ones who need to be saved. I help them travel to their salvation."
DeLuc paused, letting her words sink in. "...No, it is not a crime. No one owns this land, as far as I am concerned, and I see no reason why anyone should ever own this land." He blinked at her, still watching her every move. "Are you... happy with your pack?"

She sighed gently, eyes closing, and then opening to look at him.
"I don't know what to think of my pack. I just don't feel like I belong. I don't feel like I belong anywhere."[/i] She shrugged, and then sighed once more.
She looked up at him for a moment, and said "I was brought into this world differently from others..."[/i]

DeLuc nodded, taking all of the fae's words in, drinking them like tea. If he was stereotypically British, which he was not. Eating them like croissants. If he was stereotypically French, which, despite his name, he was also not. Okay, enough with the similes.
"I see. Wolves are brought into this world in all different ways, miss, and who can fathom the means by which our creators have fashioned us?... And yet..." He paused for a second, as if pondering whether to say it or not. "There is always a beyond."
"Have you ever heard of the Twilight Realm?"

DeLuc shook his head as well. "It is unfortunate, miss, that you have missed out on such a important belief of wolves, if belief it indeed is." He looked at her, smiling slightly. "But I suppose I shall explain. When wolves pass on into the beyond, or die, if you will, they find themselves in a paradise beyond mortal ken. I do not know what is there... no wolf does." He gestured vaguely into the middle distance, a trace of bitterness creeping into his voice. "It is much better than this... empty world we inhabit, looking for purpose and reason when there is none." |

She nodded her head, and said "Yes, well. I haven't really gotten the pleasures of religion. My...existence stops that from being." [/i] She said, looking off into the distance as well. Her plume flicked around her bodice, and wrapping it's self inside it's safe walls, coming to a rest over her paws.
"I came into this world much differently then any wolf I know..." [/i]

His eyes shone with the brightness of a zealot. "It is not just a religion. It is our salvation, and all wolves' as well."
DeLuc sat back on his haunches, blinking slightly. "Nevertheless. You keep mentioning your start to existence, miss. Would I be as bold as to inquire as to what your meaning is?"
My mission tires me, and idle conversation is filling... But my mission is calling. I ought to go bring more wolves to salvation soon enough. He shifted slightly, burdened with thoughts. When my mission is finished, I will see Cerisse again...

"All I know is that a mist appeared over the Yozorian pack lands. It was mysterious enough to go and check out. All they found was me left behind. I was in sorry shape, and just born. Without the nutrition of a mother, I would have died. So they thought. Yet, I wouldn't accept anyone they brought me to. Yet, I turned out just find. I won't accept a mentor either, so I'm afraid that all I know to is fight with out a plan. [/i]
She answered, watching him for a few moments. He was different...much different.

"Your story is undoubtedly a singular one," DeLuc agreed. "Fighting without a plan... what is life but that? As wolves, we fight amongst ourselves over petty things, and we have no plans but the future."
His tail flapped lightly against the grass as the breeze ruffled his fur.
"But what is the future? In truth, nothing in this world is worth living for, not the food, not the feeling of wind beneath your fur as you run. Because everything in this world -- yes, everything that is good -- is contained in the Twilight Realm. And what is death but a means to achieve immortality?" DeLuc lowered his head slightly, apologetically. "I may have gotten carried away... May I ask you one question?"

She was staring at him incredulously, her mouth slightly agape. "Out of everything you just said I think I only picked up on a few things..." [/i] She muttered slightly, and then shook her dome. Once he asked if he could ask a question she nodded her head, and said "Shoot for it." [/i]
