[Moro's been oddly missing for... quite some time now, actually. Two weeks of being incredibly distant from the village, only rarely appearing in the distance to keep an eye out on the village. A week or so ago, she disappeared entirely, after what one would likely assume to be a mallynapping, given the evidence of violence in some areas.

Now, however, a much smaller wolf is haunting the god's usual stalking grounds. Even on Moro's usual perch, it's obvious that though the wolf is significantly smaller, it's still a very abnormally large one. It's not easy to see in the distance, but she does, in fact, have two tails.

Slowly, throughout the day, she's wandering closer and closer to the village. Do you come to meet her, or wait until she's just outside of the town limits?]

((OOC: I've been meaning to do this for a year now! XD Moro's gonna be significantly younger for a week or so. For reference, she's the size of her own pups within the movie. All replies will come from puppy_moro.))

...To be honest, I don't know. But everyone here has them.

[puppy-moro.livejournal.com]

...Are you not of this village?

[saintlyvice.livejournal.com]

No--well, not originally. I'm from Japan, but then I was taken here with many others.

[puppy-moro.livejournal.com]

Japan?

[saintlyvice.livejournal.com]

Yes. The country. Have you heard of it before?

[puppy-moro.livejournal.com]

Humans know the land by a name rather than by its scent.

[...So she says. She won't admit that she doesn't know something 8T]

[saintlyvice.livejournal.com]

[...he doesn't really know what to say to that.]

Ha...sadly, we lack the abilities to do so.

[puppy-moro.livejournal.com]

Such a shame.

[Cocky, smartass laugh? Check.]

[saintlyvice.livejournal.com]

[HNNNGH] We compensate in other ways. [Pay no mind to that sword at his hip that he can't use anymore]

[puppy-moro.livejournal.com]

[She sees it, but it doesn't scare her. She's seen more swords than she can count; she's much too swift to be more than nicked by a simple toy like that.]

Yes, with your wit. Always impressive. As wily as any fox, and able to make your own "fangs".

[It's a compliment, I swear it is.]

[saintlyvice.livejournal.com]

[Why...is it...

He really hopes Okita's bear was more tolerable.]

[guardedly] We do it to survive - no different from any other creature.

[puppy-moro.livejournal.com]

No. Heheh. You are certainly no gods, but humans are special creatures. There are no creatures remotely like you.

[saintlyvice.livejournal.com]

Thank...you?

[puppy-moro.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[Puff, puff. She seems proud to receive even that awkward and uncomfortable thanks.

She's uh. Better at socializing with troops and war lords that actually call on her for aid than the general folk.]

[saintlyvice.livejournal.com]

[short pause]

Might I, uh...do you have a name?

[puppy-moro.livejournal.com]

I am Moro, of the proud Wolf Clan.

[Huff puff. She holds her head a little higher and more proudly.]

[saintlyvice.livejournal.com]

I see. [He sees the two tails. This is no ordinary wolf. In fact, it might be best to...

Sannan bows again, a little deeper this time.] I am Yamanami Keisuke, only a samurai.

[puppy-moro.livejournal.com]

I see. I hope for the honor to meet you on the battlefield someday, then.

[Very formal, she straightens herself.]
