Welcome to Gaia! ::

Riptide was one of those...lazy guys. No, wasn't that he laid around and did nothing all day, it was just, he was the type who could easily become an alpha...and had no will to do so. Yet, other's still seemed drawn to the sort of authority he just naturally portrayed. It was getting a little annoying, to be honest, especially when some random wolves that were hurt would end up in his path and then...follow him. Ask his advice about everything. He finally had this grand thought of if he joined a pack, had some stray wolves follow him home, at least then someone else could put them to work (or chase them away) and he could just enjoy life. Right?

So, he sent off his crow friend, Brittlebeak, in search of the right pack. Surely someone needed a healer? Or least another one if they had one. So, while he had a nap, Brittle made his way around the skies and searched. Finding one that made him curious, and seemed to welcome other companions, he landed on a branch and called out to a wolf below (hoping he/she could put him in touch with the right wolf) "I am searching for a pack who would like a healer. He awaits outside the borders, and wishes to speak to someone."

"Indeed he could." Brittlebeak ruffled his feathers, settling himself more comfortably upon the branch, the bones of his necklace rattling softly as he preened a feather back into place. Spreading his wings slightly, he gives a sort of bow to them both. "The name's Brittlebeak. As I seemed to have inadvertently interrupted your conversation, for which I sincerely apologize, I shall endeavor to lead him here instead."

With that said, and giving the raccoon and wolf no time to reply he leaps off the branch and flies away, winging back to where Riptide awaited. Circling overhead, he caws loudly to get the wolf's attention to follow him back towards the others, circling overhead of where the others waited.

Soon, a multicolored wolf makes his way through the brush and tress and enters the clearing, some plants in his mouth making a bit of a comical sight at first appearance. Carefully packing them into his bag, he then gave a bow to them both. His stature and confidence spoke of one who both could be an alpha and had spent a long time traveling and seeing the world. Quite frankly, he was tired of both and hoped he could relax finally for awhile and let an actual alpha have the job. He would give all the advice one could ask for, but certainly was in no danger of claiming anyone's job, alpha or otherwise.

Maybe he could even be the cub storyteller? Certainly had enough adventures to tell if they wished to listen...

"Riptide at your service. I assume Brittle spoke of my wish to seek a pack to join...if you have need of a healer that is? I've been far and wide and time's come to settle down if you'd have my services in whatever way you see fit."
