[The weather's been pretty tough, lately, and it's kept Moro inside. But, for once, she can be seen outside the village, not too far, soaking up as much warmth from the sunlight as she can.

Winter hasn't treated her very well. She's looking even more skinny than usual, with ribs showing and even her fur looking like it's thinning in places.

But, in this case, she isn't here for food. Simply, to sunbathe.]

[Yun's been out and about now that the rain has let up and things are a little less empty. She was off to go visit the library or at the very least pick up groceries, but the sight of a huge white mass that is decidedly not snow on the edge of the village is more than enough to get her to stop, stand still, and watch for a bit.]

...a wolf?

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro turns her ear, but not her gaze.]

I am.

[tolivefortoday]

[Oh, she talks! But even knowing that, Yun doesn't move any closer. A giant wolf is still a giant wolf.]

So you are! Hello! [But since Moro can talk, she will at least greet her.] I'm Yun. May I know your name?

[biteoffherhead]

[That's a very wise policy.]

I am Moro, guardian god of the forests.

[ Hearing that there's a big white wolf sunning herself not too far off, Ryoji knows that of course he must come visit! But he remembers how thin Moro was when last he saw her, so before he does anything else, Ryoji goes to the grocery and gets as much raw meat as he can carry! It's probably not as much as Moro would like for a full meal, but at least it's something, right?

In any event, soon enough, Ryoji comes over and sets his bags of meat parcels down in front of Moro. ]

Good morning, Moro! It's lovely to see you out here in the sunshine.

[biteoffherhead]

...Ryoji.

[Ah, he's brought meat...]

...You have brought that for me?

[death_awaits_you]

[ He smiles and nods and starts to unpack the meat and set it out for her. ]

Yep! I knew you were hungry, so since you were nearby, I thought I should bring you some, since I didn't get to take you out to breakfast or anything before. [ Even large furry ladies still should be taken on dates, after all! ... even if he's not magically in love with them anymore. ] I hope it's enough... I can get more if it isn't, though!

[biteoffherhead]

...That is very generous.

[rashness]

[...Holy shit that is a huge wolf. Is that the one the yuan guy warned him about? Rin was actually on his way out to try to work with his meditation some more in that clearing where he had been practicing with his flames when he sees her from a way off.

There is no way that thing is natural.

Well then, his tail flicking and sighing, he'll go over to her. Might as well, like, great her. Being Satan's son isn't going to make this awkward]

[biteoffherhead]

[Being a demon is a pretty quick way to get scorn from Moro. In fact, once she catches your scent, she stands, abruptly, growling loudly.]

[rashness]

[Well shit that looks intimidating. He scoots back, putting a hand on the hilt of his sword which is in a bundle on his back. Just in face]

[mythmaker]

[Well, if Moro is closer to the village, that means that Azusa could definitely run into her...!

Except not. Because Azusa is Azusa, she's going to run into Moro after getting hideously lost in the forest. She had just gone to pick up ingredients for breakfast, and she ended up on an adventure again. Moro will definitely hear her coming with the way she hums to herself.]

Ah, hello, wolf-chan! Are you enjoying the break from the weather?

[biteoffherhead]

As much as you seem to be.

[mythmaker]

Eh? Me? ...Well, actually, I was on my way home from getting groceries and I got lost.

[It is very clear she is very lost, but she always finds her way somehow.

[myosotis]

[You know, mother, your daughter raided the grocery a few days ago and you totally ate most of it.

She hasn't been back since, though. Things were weird there for a bit.

Now, she's sitting nearby, also taking in the sun.]

[biteoffherhead]

[Absolutely! Which is why she's feeling good enough to wander around. It's just been slim pickings all winter.

Sunbathing in winter is the best.]

[needabourbon]

[It's not everyday that Jigen sees a wolf. And what a large and intimidating wolf, indeed. He's keeping his distance and assumes such a great dog couldn't just be wild. Nevertheless, his hand is resting against his waistline cautiously--just inches from his magnum.]

Don't believe I've seen you around. Been hibernating? [...wolves hibernate, right? This gunman is not an animal enthusiast. At all.]

[biteoffherhead]

[She catches the scent of gunpowder, snarling loudly and baring her fangs.]

If you know what is good for you, you will throw that disgusting gun away.

[needabourbon]

Alright, alright. [He slips it from his holster, taking out what few bullets were in it to pocket them. Then sets the magnum to the ground to gently kick it away.]

I'm not here for a fight. I didn't even expect to run into anyone.

oh hi Moro this kid kinda had feels for your daughter during Valentines hope this isn't awkward

[flowermemory]

[Perhaps under another circumstance he would be more wary about the presence of giant wolves, however Moro seems... relaxed right now. And hungry, but at least he's not feeling sensitive to her predatory vibes at the moment. Though it's been awhile since he's seen her so... unfortunately he doesn't remember her. At least not right off the bat without checking his book first.

He's actually more curious now about her then he was during their actual first meeting, even if he's respectful enough to give her a nice wide birth while he watches her.]

whooooops...

[biteoffherhead]

[Ah, but Moro remembers you. She blinks, before speaking.]

...Hello, little bear.

don't worry he's a gentleman who probably gave her a flower or a dead squirrel or something

[flowermemory]

[That nickname would be far more odd to him if he didn't see himself as a bear at times. He'll take that as an invitation to walk a little closer, since she seems nice and hasn't triggered any feelings of potential threat.]

[knightofratatosk]

[Oh hey, it's Moro, and... she looks pretty thin. Maybe she's sick...

... which means Emil will just be approaching cautiously to check on her.]

[biteoffherhead]

[She snorts, when she sees him.

But she didn't tell him to leave.]

[knightofratatosk]

[That's enough to get him to pause like a deer in the headlights, looking at once nervous and sheepish.]

Um... are you all right?
