 Soft Shadow laid on the ground by a small outcrop of rocks as she watched a group of lizards move around the stones, getting ready to find the best spots to warm themselves in the sun. They were simple in color and really harmless, well unless you were a fool and got in their face and got bitten on the ear or nose or something. Her thoughts went to Feathers the male was a walking healer station. She still couldn't believe he had decided to kick rocks around in the mountains what had made him think that was a good idea?

 The winged painted female had a pep to her step today, more so than usual. He father was FINALLY living up to his promise and said they would go out of the pack lands looking for a bond for her. Not that she needed one, but she wanted one. Her dad had a bunny of his own, why couldn’t she have something too? She remembered her father telling her that bonds were not property, but a creature of their own mind. It was something that Hawkeye needed to get use to telling herself when she would come across a creature. After all, who would want to go along with someone unwillingly? That was what her father had told her. “Oh.” Hawkeye paused, glancing towards the white she wolf appearing to be basking in the sun. “Hello there!”

Soft Shadow frowned why was she a magnet for loud wolves? She didn't want the lizards to run away, some ran out of sight already. "Shush." She said softly "I'm watching the lizards." She looked the female over, she looked perfectly healthy and she didn't seem panicked so she didn't think this was about a healing issue so it must have just been a greeting. "Hello." She said softly, still hoping this female would calm down and not frighten away all the lizards. Soft had not really thought about bonds, but she would like to bond with a creature someday, she liked other creatures a great deal.

Shh? Was she just shushed? Was she being loud? Hawkeye paused, mouth closing quickly as she glanced at the she wolf.
“Oh. Um…sorry.” She whispered, loudly. “I didn’t mean to startle anything!” Her voice returned to normal tone. It was just Hawkeye being Hawkeye.
“Watching lizards? That’s a strange thing to do. Ohhh are they your friends? Like…are they bonded to you? Did they choose you?” Her father mentioned that bonds choose their partners. Maybe this girl had bonded with the scaley reptiles?
“I mean, normally wolves find something more bigger to uh…befriend, but I think lizards are cool! Do they have names or anything?” The light brown wolf asked with a grin, sitting down near Soft Shadow. Her tail thumped against the ground happily.

Soft Shadow didn't know what to do with all these questions being thrown at her by this very excited female wolf. "No they are not my friends, but they are lovely creatures that I like to watch and sit with, I do not need a bond with a creature to enjoy watching them, when the time comes I will find a bond I do not intend to go searching for a bond I will just allow fate to help them find me." She said softly. She really wished this female would calm down. "Come sit and just watch the lizards for a bit, feel the sun on your fur and just relax, perhaps if you stop thinking so much on your bond they will find you and you will not have to hunt for them." She said quietly but firmly.

“They aren’t your friends? Huh.” Although, Hawkeye did as she was told, and sat near Soft Shadow.
“There isn’t too much wild life that seems to roam around the pack that isn’t bonded already. Do you think you will find something? I mean, bonds are super helpful! You should see my dad’s hare. He can find things that my dad can’t. Especially in those tight crevices in the mountain. Sometimes I think North would get stuck, but nope! He always comes out in the end!” Hawkeye explained. “And then there are the coons. Those little hands of theirs are super…handy.” She grinned at her analogy.
“I wanna be friend one soon. Once I do I think I can help the pack more.” Hawkeye said with a smile. “Maybe scout the lands better like my dad does. I don’t know.”
“You don’t have to tell me twice about lounging.” Hawkeye found her front paws stretching forward. “I enjoy a nice sun bath.”

Soft Shadow sighed this female was really not hearing her at all, but what was she to do the female was too excited to think on things and let nature take its course. "Yes that is all true and a hare or raccoon would be helpful in my tasks as a healer, but I don't feel running after hares and raccoons is a proper bond, I'm sure when the time is right I will meet my bond and things will fall into place, I do not need to run around seeking and neither do you." That was how Soft felt about the matter. "I am Soft Shadow by the way." Soft laughed softly "It's not about lounging per se, but you should try to slow down and take things in perhaps you are missing what is right in front of you."

“See, you’re a healer? Even more reason to get a bond! I mean, they can help you so much more.” But, to each their own. If the she wolf would rather wait for her bond to come to her, surely Hawkeye couldn’t complain about that. She was a wolf that liked things in the now.
“I’m sure yours will come to you eventually then.” The female nodded her head. “I’m Hawkeye! It’s nice to meet you, officially that is. I’ve heard about the healers of the pack, but I haven’t actually gone up to one and personally talked to them. Now I can say I have!” Hawkeye grinned.
“Hmm….Slowing down sounds boring though. What if you miss something because you are too slow?” The wolf asked tilting her head. She did enjoy the sun against her fur though.

Soft Shadow smiled Hawkeye wasn't wrong a bond would be helpful but she didn't need one right now, she had gotten a herb bag made by a raccoon. Things were just fine. "I know a bond would be helpful but yes to each their own we are clearly different wolves and I'm sure both our ways are valid." She said gently. "Nice to meet you Hawkeye." Soft laughed "I do not consider taking things slowly boring but to each their own."

Hawkeye grinned, shaking her head. She would agree to disagree, but she did not verbalize it. She instead, let the sun soak against her pelt. She remained that way for a good few minutes, before rising to her feet.
“Thank you for the talk Soft Shadow!” Hawkeye smiled, bobbing her head. “I will let you get back to watching the lizards. I gotta keep moving though. I am sure we will cross our paths again in the future! Though, next time, you may see me with a new body by my side!” Hawkeye giggled, giving a small wave to the healer wolf before bounding up the rocky hillside, and out of site.
