The loss of Ozzy had been a heavy weight upon the shoulders of the Yuèlín wolves. Especially Makara, and the weight that was pressed upon his shoulders was equally shared with the little lady that slept soundly within her den today. Her dreams were filled with memories of the little red wolf and his tentacled friend, the time they spooked each other in the glowing mushroom patch...

Pasi smiled in her sleep as she slowly surfaced to the land of the living with eyes that gently slid open to pull in the bright lights of the day. Her smile never faultered as they slid fully open and absorbed the bright sunlight that streamed into her cavern of a den. The floor beneath her was warm thanks to her massive white and orange pelt that she had received from the giving tree, the smell of dried flowers wafting into her little black button as she rolled onto her back and sighed happily.

I hope you're in good hands out there Oz... She murmured to the shadows in her home as she rolled back onto her stomach and hopped onto her paws quickly and swiftly. Giggling she batted around a few dried blooms, making note to push the old ones out and pull in the new one's once spring fully hit the island, and sighed once more as she trotted from the long length of her cavern and to the mouth where she stood and soaked in the warmth of everything that shined.

Heer dark blue pelt absorbed the sunlight and she shuddered in the daylight, deciding that today would just be for trying to find a new garden placement and she left and trotted to the landy hill above her home.

She got lucky, her cave had a length of grass and dirt above it, stretching out almost like a hobbit hole, and she stopped atop the home and began to paw at the ground, trying to find a good place to start diggin in the soft earth beneath her light colored paws.

The earth was soft and moist from the melting snows and made it for easy digging and tilling. Smiling at her luck she giggled and looked around her as if trying to see if somebody was around, hoping that maybe she'd find someone to talk to today, it was such a lovely day...

Daiyu's settlement, much like Pasi's, was located along the coast side. Where golden sands began to turn into long, flowing emerald grass, Daiyu had called a little cavern facing the waters her den. It was along the northern shore and that is where she had begun her day.

Strolling from her den, she sought out the fishing grounds northward for breakfast. Eating quietly as she listened to the ocean. Despite another pack in lands further south having merged with their own, Yuelin was still a quiet place. Even more so with the death of a pack mate. It had first been reclusive from the mainland. Now the members were more or less reclusive with each other.

Having taken another nap and then waking to the afternoon, Daiyu strode down the beach, looking for things of interest to add to her collection. The sea always had a way of adding new gifts onto the beach. Some things which might have come from the mainland, that were not common upon the isle.

It is in this meandering does she find Pasi, standing atop a mound which looked to open up a cavern too. Digging into the earthen top, Daiyu trots up to the other woman with curiosity in her eyes. A single ear turned back, a tilt of her head. What you doing up there?

She hadn't been digging long when another approached her, one from the pack that had absorbed their own, she smelled her before she saw her. Pasi sniffed a few times, noticing the change in the dirt's smell and looked at it quizzically, an eyebrow raised over her left eye as if asking the dirt why it suddenly smelled of flowers. She shook her head and giggled before she felt the prescence of the woman, a shift in the air when she came, and Pasithea turned her head over her shoulder to face the woman who had appeared.

Pasi was covered in dirt, her usual pristine blue fur dirtied and darker than normal, her light paws were dark and brown and her nose had a little bit of dirt on it when she smiled at the new woman. Hello! She squeaked pleasantly, her eyes glittering in the most friendly way they possibly could. Her small tail wagged above her little hips as the goddess clenched her eyes shut with glee.

Pasi was more than happy to have company, it had been a while since she'd talked to another, often hiding in her den, and felt a warmth rush through her body at the sight of another. She was pretty too, an onyx mask covered her face and bled down to her chest. She also had black flecking's along her back with markings that almost looked like waves. She was much taller than Pasithea so the little goddess had to look upwards at her but she didn't mind. Pasi might have been small but she was mighty.

I'm trying to find a good place for a garden... Somewhere close to my den... The little girl explained, taking a paw and wiping her nose clean, she didn't have any reason to lie so she simply stated the fact of the task at hand and continued to beam at the woman.

The little blue-grey woman lifted her head, tossing clear and bright blue eyes into Daiyu's way. She was deep in her work, showed by now much dirt covered her now. Daiyu couldn't help but to giggle, her tail waving behind her at the display of the other woman. She was filled with friendliness and excitement, only boistering Daiyu's own personality traits while in this one's presence.

Is that your den just there? She spoke as her head arced, looking towards the opening of the cavern. The rise above it seemed like a good enough place for the garden and could arc around the sides at least until it went from grass and dirt to sands.

Taking a few paces into her direction then, I could help you prepare it, if you'd like? What better way to spend her time then among her packmates. She had a need to know those better which had joined them. I'm Daiyu, by the way. Cousin to Hua and Meixing.

The beautiful masked woman asked if the den below them was hers and Pasi nodded with closed eyes and her grin never leaving her face. The stranger, who wasn't a stranger for long, offered to help prepare the garden with her and introduced herself. Her name was Daiyu and she was cousin to Hua and Meixing, two of the leaders here.

I think the company and help would be quite nice... Thank you... Pasi thanked her with a small dip of her head and a paw at the earth below her foot. It's nice to meet you, I'm Pasithea, or Pasi for short... No cousins or family here... Pasi giggled lightly and then hopped upright to her paws, standing as tall as she could with pride... But still smaller than the other woman.

We should make it BIG... I want lots of space for flowers and herbs... Thank you again... The goddess nodded firmly, her eyes locked onto Daiyu as she explained her dimensions in wolf speak, knowing that centimeters and inches probably wouldn't fly in the world of paws. Her expression firm but gentle and still holding the same smile she boasted before.

Pasithea. Daiyu parrots the name back, the smile on her lips not wavering as the other woman stood straight as she introduced herself. What a lovely, exotic name! She flattered the other woman as she drew nearer.

She would come to the woman's side now once hopping up on the rise that made the roof of the woman's densite. Daiyu nods, listening to the vision which Pasi had for the den. Herbs and flowers. Got it.

Are we tilling the land first? She begins scratching at the earth. Not deep, to make a hole, but ruffling it up and inching back as she did so to make trails of it. Like this yes? She had helped family back at her home island with the task before and wondered if this was the same way which Pasi used.

Thank you! The woman responded as she was complimented on her name, a warm blush coming to form upon her cheeks under that light tufted fur, Your name is very beautiful as well... She mirrored back the compliment with a dip of her head in respect to the higher ranked woman.

Daiyu questioned their first step and Pasi nodded as the other woman nailed it. Yes... It might take a minute, I do not have large hands... Err paws... She giggled, her eyes shutting with the smile she sported, amused at her human slip up coming out for the first time since she'd been here...

Pasi suddenly fell backwards into memories of clouds and gardens... Of pinks and oranges... Or purples and reds... Tinges of the setting sun upon those fluffy white cumulonimbus clouds that surrounded her life... She missed it all, the fountains, the roses, the life of a goddess... Life was hard as a wolf, she wouldn't lie to anyone about it, being a human was much easier...

Once we get the ground tilled we can start digging holes in rows for the blooms... There's a beautiful patch of hibiscus flowers nearby, I was hoping to transplant a couple of them... She told the other beautiful woman, coming back from her flashback, her eyes sparkling with enjoyment. Gardening was one of her favorite pastimes for sure, it always had been, it was so relaxing and the feeling of dirt under her nails was always so satisfying...

There was a softness in the other woman's facial features and a compliment returned, which Daiyu grinned to as a response ans waved her black tipped tail. Daiyu now would be focusing her attention to the task at paw as the other woman confirmed her method... but, hands?

Daiyu didn't think to much of it. Maybe this woman spoke another language, just as Daiyu's own self and so would assume that 'hands' meant 'paws' in her native tongue. Unlike a number of creatures in world, Daiyu had only ever been a wolf before and hadn't either died in order to make it to this new world.

Quietness found them for a little while as they continued to work. All the while Daiyu would keep an eye out for any little trinkets which might reveal itself. So far, a seashell or two she has set aside. Nothing too extraordinary but Daiyu kept a cluster of seashells outside along the sides to the opening of her den. They would do for this.

When Pasi then started speaking about what she wanted to plant first, Daiyu's black ears perked, pausing only for a moment though otherwise keeping her little paws busy. I think I know the ones you speak of! Then, after a thought. There are some little lillies further down too, I had seen before. Checker lily, which would have use for someone with a cough, little did she known.

Pasi noticed the small pile the other woman was making of things she found and smiled at this interesting action, making a note to possibly try to find things to spruce up her own den besides dying flowers, and listened as the other woman mentioned the flowers she had spoke of.

Oh wonderful! She exclaimed, hopping on her paws a little, the more variety the merrier, she was a woman of many things and variety was one of them... In many different ways...

Let us work on this a little longer and we can head down there to pick some! I... I taught Ozzy how to transplant... I... I can teach you too if you don't know how... She said, her tone dropping a little at the mention of their lost friend at sea.

Her smiled drooped a tiny bit, a small frown forming on her lips as she remembered the time she had taught Ozzy how to pull at the roots delicately and put them back to grow in a different place... Sighing she shook herself out and tried to force her smile back for Daiyu.

Daiyu's features softened and her black ears falling back against her crown. The hesitance in the other woman's voice and her frown.

Daiyu felt deeply for their loss even if it was a man which Daiyu had no personal connection to. She hadn't much of a chance after their merging before he had died. Now, despite the two small packs merging into one, they had dwindled into a small group again all the same.

I don't know. She lifts a black, dirt and sand caked paw to place in over the smaller one of the little woman in comfort. But I'd love to learn, like Ozzy did.
