Torikkusuta paced through the fields. He was tired of a lot of things. He was tired of being hungry, he was tired of being lost but most of all, he was tired of being lonely. He scanned the horizon. Perhaps I may come across someone, he thought. Torikkusuta just needed to see someone, or something living.
He walked over to a tree. He flew up, landing on the top branch. From here he could see far into the distance. He thought there was no way to sneak up on him. He chuckled.
"At least I'm free. At least I can escape." he said, remembering his parents. They were so strict. He sneaked off whenever possible, and had been banished for doing so once to often, but he didn't see it as a curse. In fact, he rather enjoyed it. Now he could fight for his freedom.

Moondog was running at a break-neck speed, trying desperately to make his big paws charge him forward. His ears were swept back against his neck, his tongue lolling as he booked it after a fleeting form. C'mon Moony- C'MON Moondoggy! he encouraged himself. If one looked a ways ahead, they would see a fat gopher skittering amongst the trees. Moon had been stalking it all morning, and his hunger was all that kept him going at this point. The black wolf was closing in, less than half a wolf's length was between them, he opened his jaws and- THWUNG! Thwung? he blinked, everything was dark and dirt-covered, including him. He wriggled, and soon came to his senses as he pieced together that he was stuck, in the gopher's hole which it had just dove into. It looked like a rather compromising situation to any other point of view than his, a big black wolf stuck head-and-forearms first in a hole. And, if things couldn't get any worse, the gopher crawled back up his hole, and thought it fun to nibble on Moondog's nose. He yelped and snarled, his back end writhing as he struggled, with no avail, to escape.

Torikkusuta watched the unveiling commotion. After a while, he got up, stretching his wings, and flew over. He chuckled to himself.
"It seems you have a problem, friend." he said, trying to sound helpful, but failing. "Perhaps I could help. If so, just wag your tail. However, depending on your skills, I too may ask a favor."
Without waiting for a reply, he started digging near the wolf's head. Very soon, the gopher's hole was almost wide enough for the other wolf to get out, but would require strength and patience to get out. An interesting test, Torikkusuta thought.
"There is not much dirt left. You should be easily able to pull free." he said, knowing that it would not be easy at all.

Moon was a bit surprised when he heard padded paws land seemingly from no-where and come towards him. He heard the muffled voice of another, offering help, he could make out that much. He wriggled uncomfortably as he heard and felt the other digging him out, and felt the walls loosen around him. His tail wagged at the idea of breathing fresh air again, and by now, with all the noise of digging, the gopher had finally skittered back down it's hole. With his front paws digging into the dirt and pushing back, as well as his hind paws, he felt the walls crumble, and start to give. No good.. he took a steady breath and pushed up, instead of out. The dirt around him lifted, and when Moon opened his eyes again he saw light and dirt falling around him. He stood quickly and shook his head and shoulders free off dirt and grass. Smilling as he turned to his aid, he spoke in his strong, deep voice " Thank you!" He nodded and sat, kicking his ear with his hind leg in an attempt to get some soil out. He paused, and looked over the other a second time, seeing fur-less wings sprouting from his shoulders, a chain on his neck, and covered in scars. Moon raised himself back onto his sturdy legs, and took a few steps back, not quite sure what to make of this stranger.

"Relax friend, I'm not going to harm you" said Torikkusuta as the stranger backed away. "I'm Torikkusuta, just call me Torik."
He took in the strangers appearance. Torik was actually quite impressed with the stranger, he knew that he would have a bit of trouble getting out. He felt that more of an explanation of his looks was called for.
"You are wondering why I look like this, Right?" he sighed, "It's because I was born like it."
He knew he was being a bit harsh on the strange wolf, but in truth, he wasn't sure why he looked like he did either.

Moon smiled, "Hi, nice to meet you, Uhm, sorry, thanks again." he said feebly, he felt a bit bad now that he knew the wolf was kind. He quickly dismissed the wolf strange appearance, but felt he should make it up to him. "Listen, I.. You aren't that scary, I mean- You aren't even scary at all! I- I mean, well-" he paused, "Hi, My name's Moondog, you can call me Moon." he gave a small bow, more dirt falling from his head. "What brings you here, then? What's your story? if you don't mind me asking." he added curtly, his tail swishing back and forth happily behind him.

"Oh, I'm scary all right" Torikkusuta chuckled, "Well, Hello Moondog, what an interesting name. Since you want to know, I was raised by my parents, who were so strict, that sort of stuff. I ran away, and to cut things short, I'm here now. i'm not particularly sure why, but I am, and so are you. So, what's your story, Moon?"
He looked at Moon reflectively. He appeared friendly, but so did Torikkusuta, and Torik knew that to be slightly false. He was only friendly when it suited him.

Moon took this opportunity to take a step forward. " Well, I am sorry. Now you don't seem scary at all." he gave him a pleasant smile, looking more relaxed and confident. He looked around, a small frown on his face. "Do you know any places near here with water? I'd like to get all this crap from my fur." he said with a meek grin.

"There's a creek not that far away. It shouldn't take that long to get there." Torikkusuta said, walking slowly, seeing if Moondog was going to follow. He was also slightly dirty, but it was good camouflage in the day.
Torikkusuta was slightly suspicious when Moondog didn't reply of his history. 'Oh well', he thought, 'I didn't exactly tell him everything.' However, Torikkusuta did think Moondog would make a good friend. But Torikkusuta didn't have friends. Torikkusuta was so confused.
'Relax', he thought, 'you know who you are, and he doesn't. You are safe.'

OoC// Oh sorry haha forgot to add his response to the question! //
Moon nodded his appreciation and trotted off in the direction in which Torik had indicated. Feeling a bit more comfortable with what he might say in response, he answered Torik's prior statement. " Strict, hu? My folks were real characters," he gave him a side glance and a smile, one of his ears flopping loosely around as he trotted. " Me and my brother were their only pups, see they didn't even have pups with other wolves, and well, they were pretty ancient so you know, time goes by and they just slip away one day... Life happens." He added with a gentle smile and a shrug. " I've been kinda alone for the most part, me and my brother split up after a while, we never got along super well, and without my parents around there was no one to tell us to stick together, so, we parted ways.." he paused, seeming a bit sad, "Haven't seen him since." he added almost as a side-note.

Torikkusuta nodded, showing he was listening.
"I'm sorry to hear that." he said vaguely, wrapped deep in thought. He felt sorry for the newcomer, but when had he ever felt sorry for someone else? He never had. Torik was so confused. Everything inside him was telling him to wander away, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"arrrgh" he yelled out, unable to contain his confusion anymore. His breathing grew heavy and deep, and he lay down, clearly in pain.
"I'm okay" he muttered.
