(( Objective: Either get rid of Nina or help her find the RAW members within the city. ))
It was a chilly gray morning in the norther ice city. The sky was coated in light clouds that hid the blue but seemed to blur together into a whole, making the whole setting feel dreary. Colors were dimmed due to the lack of sunlight and it seemed that the moods of the people were affected as well. While the city had never been a hub of activity due to the cold, it was even more sluggish then usual today.
A young girl sat huddled against the wall of a building, sitting to the side of a small snow drift. It seemed strange, for most citizens of the city were dressed in thick coats or huge layers of raggs. However, this girl seemed to only be wearing a rough pair of jeans and a sweat shirt. Her long, multi-colored hair hung in her face as she watched people pass by with sharp, green eyes. There was something strange about her, but of course, none of the humans noticed.

Random reference so you kinda` know what he looks like. Ayden would stare towards the sky, his nose wrinkling a bit when the sun didn't show through. Aw, what could you do? He stepped forward in the not-so-busy streets, he himself merely wearing that fishnet shirt, ragged jeans, and a shredded, bad excuse for a jacket. His thumbs hooked into his jean pockets, his fingers tapping against his hips in an unknown toon.
The click-ity clack-ity of his claws against the ground made him glance down to make sure he was actually up with his illusion, faded irises narrowing tot ry and get a better look. Alas, he doubted he would be seen for what he was, right now. No one had screamed about a huge dog running about.
His nose twitched, though, and he tossed up his head, threads of his hair bouncing against his cheeks and forehead. What's this? A strange scent. He turned his course, and made his way into an allyway, where the scent seemed to be strongly coming from. He grinned.

Nina lifted her head slightly as a scent reached her nose. Her eyes widened slightly, loosing their narrowed, suspicious gaze. It was another of her kind, she could tell! As Ayden walked into the ally she could see through his illusion easily, since she knew who he was. She didn't even bother to hold hers up any longer, since it too a great amount of concentration for her and as of now she didnt' feel like doing it.
The pup, dawning on adolecence, pulled herself up straight. Her white ears perked forward. A small smile formed on her maw and followed by a smooth sweap of her tail. It had been so long since she had seen another of her kind, despite how hard she had searched to meet up with her fellow members of RAW again. So seeing a strange wolf was even better then nothing, "Oh! Am I glad to see you!"

He was startled by the sudden change from human form to wolf, he hadn't even blinked and it had occured before him. Hm, another wolf. This made his mood rise greatly. He loved the company of other wolves, that was obvious. Not dropping his disguise, since humans would become suspiscious of two dogs in the allyway, he would lower down to his knees in human form, but in turn...his wolf form was sitting down, head down and smiling at the pup.
His own black canine ears perked forward at her, and his tail thumped against the ground behind him. "Same to you," aahh, the company of his own kind, "What're you doing out here alone?"
He had to ask. Usually, for such a young wolf...though, he couldn't really talk, he was just now becoming an adult...he didn't act like it. But, anyway, for such a young wolf to be wandering around without an older wolf was hard to come by. Could she hunt correctly? Was she hungry? All of this rushed through his head, but he calmed, and waited for a reply.

She wrinkled her muzzle slightly at the question. Her ears twitched sheepishly, "I...got seperated when we were on a train...from my...elders. So...I got on another train in hopes to going to where they went but...erm...I just came here instead." She would never understand human forms of transportaion. All she knew is that it had screwed up where she was and that wasn't fun at all.
Now, she was hardly one to like being alone. On the contrary, she hated it with a passion. However, there was little she could do. She had met another wolf before, but he had been a human lover-and being alone was far better then hanging around with him.

Oh, human transportation. He didn't use it often--especially trains. He only used and listened for them when it was a trade train, which had food and such. He sniffed, and looked towards the sky once more. There had to be more wolves around--or so he assumed--he hadn't been here for too long. Just within the last two weeks he had travelled in from a neighboring city.
He gave the pup a gentle smile once more, studying her closely to try and get a good idea of what she looked like. His eyes were acting up, and all he could really see was a blur of her colors, and the outline of her body. He closed his eyes, and sighed. "Do you know where anyone else is?" He questioned, "Or have any idea of where they might be?"
A pack of wolves right now sounded quite nice. They could get food easier, too...and he was already a bit worried about the pup in front of him. Even if he didn't know her all that well..."Oh!" He paused, "I'm Ayden, by the way." Took a while to click and introduce himself...

"Well, if I did know I wouldn't be sitting here all by myself," she replied simply. Her ears flickered back slightly and she let a sigh escape her maw. She wished she did know...it be far better then sitting here in the cold. She would have felt extremely lonely at the moment, shouldered with these thoughts, if it were not for Ayden.
"Ayden?" She asked slowly, lifting her head with a curious twitch of one white ear. "I'm Nina," she replied after a moment with a small grin. It had been a while since she had given her name to someone, since she didn't converse with humans.

.."That is a good point," he replied, and would nod, letting down his disguise and just sitting there in his wolf form. He frowned, and looked about the allyway, trying to see any other signs of wolf activity..no. Only the stench of humans feigned his senses. He sighed in return to hers.
He looked back to her when she gave up her name, and he smiled at her. "Nice to meet you," he pushed himself up to his feet and stretched his hind leg out far behind him, a grunt following. "Well, then," he piped up, "Shall we go find them?" He offered, and kept up his wolf form for the time being. Maybe it wouldn't be so strange to have two dogs wandering--rather than a grown teenager with a smaller kid. Damn humans were so suspiscious.

Her mood seemed to perk considerably. "Really? You think we can find them?" She asked as the fur above her eyes rose slightly in anticpation and her ears perked forward stiffly. Her body weight, shifted downward as she brought herself to sit up straight slightly. She seemed very hopeful. Perhaps today things would start to brighten up a bit!
There were bound to be signs of other wolves around the city. But it was unlikely that Nina could have seen most of them, since she was so young and with rather little experience.

"Of course!" He chimed, "No use in sitting around while the humans keep spreading out." He chuckled, and looked down at himself. "Should we put up our illusions?" He questioned tensely, not sure, still, if it was a good idea to wander as large dogs or not.
He would wag his tail against the back of his legs, but then raised it up a bit, showing his proud posture. He leaned down and nudged her cheek with his cold, black nose consideringly...also using this to get a better look at her, since his eyes...sucked.

"Aww...." came Nina's obvious complaint toward the idea. She liked it when she could just go around as she was...it was always so hard to keep up her illusion! And sometimes she got a headache! Ah, well...if it would help her find others...she was more then willing to do it.
She nodded her small and with a shutter of her ears in concenstration she put her illusion back up. There again was the young girl with streaked hair and strange clothing. She stood up, her illusion on two legs though her real form was on her four. "Ok...lets go!"

Ayden laughed at her gently, and would stretch once more, laying his front torso to the ground, rear up in the air, and tail flinging over itself to dip down to his spine while he stretched out into a play bow. After a moment, he stood back up..and with that, he set up his illusion and would pat down his jacket for a moment.
"All right," he replied, and moved to walk down further into the allyway. Wolves didn't seem to like to be around the crowds of people, especially RAW members. So, they'd take the allies, and see if they could find meeting grounds, scent, anything to show wolven life.

Nina hurried along beside him, her smaller legs moving faster to keep up with his long strides. Her small tail lifted behind her as she looked around them. As the moved along the allies an understanding seemed to form in her green eyes. Apparently it finally dawned on her why they were moving along through the back streets. RAW members wouldn't sit out in the open for all to see, now would they?
Well, obviously she had been looking in all the wrong places before. Maybe now they could actually find some others and see what was going on.

It made more sense for the RAW members to be in the back allies..to him, at least. He would trot on beside her, looking down at her curiously. "How long have you been around here?" He questioned, now, and would waver his steps a bit to look more amused.
He was so happy to have company. While he waited for a reply, he sniffed about and stared forward, making sure he didn't run into a wall. He listened to how her steps went..because he doubted she'd run into a wall, too. He chuckled at how quick hers was compared to his. Aw, she was cute.

"Uh...I don't know..." she paused, though her steps continued. She slowed a little, but not enough to have her fall behind him. Keeping track of time had never been something she had really thought about doing. It had always seemed more like a human practice to her, though there were probably many wolves and animals that did it too.
"Uh...a...week...?" Nina guessed with a sheepish smile. She really had no idea. It was a while though.
