The wolf trotted through the door and shook his fur out, continued inside and disappeared behind a curtain that lead into another room. He came trotting back out with something cloth and fur, looking her over before bounding over and sitting, holding a coat in his jaws.

Roala walked in after him, shutting the door lightly. Exhaling she sat on the floor, stretching her legs out. She was relieved to be out of the cold, even if there was no heat in here, it was warmer than out there. Hearing it step towards her she looked up, blinking when it trotted over with the coat. Staring at it a moment to see if it would do anything else. Determining that it was indeed friendly her legs shifted to lie under her. Her right hand reached out and slipped it on backwards, like a blanket. Her left went to his ears and rubbed gently. "Thank you. "

"Thank you. "
He leaned against her hand as she rubbed his ears, one twitching as he caught the vibration of her voice, tail wagging slowly. After a moment he turned back and trotted back into the room, coming back again dragging a blanket, making a small pallet and moved towards the fire, sniffing the wood. He stepped back, grabbing a small rope in his jaws and pulled, something clicking and lighting a small fire within the fireplace. The occupant before him had rigged the fireplace to light without hands. He just had to drag the wood when needed.

Roala watched with a small smile, interested. After he lay the cover down she moved closer to it, before laying down on it. She resituated the coat to lay draped over her side. Hearing the fire start her head flicked in that direction, neck arched. Due to her laying down, the left side of her hair fell to cover her face. "I can't stay too long. But a short nap should be OK." Says to him, as well as herself. Her arm appeared out of the cover to reach for the wolf, her way of inviting him to lay near her.

The wolf looked at her and hesitated for the first time. However, he trotted over to her and curled up by her to offer a little more heat, laying his head down on his paws. His eyes flicked around for a while as he kept watch for her.

Roala smiled to herself at the small accomplishment. Her arm fell to entangle in his fur. Fingers outstretched against the soft pelt, she realized through half lidded eyes just how fair her skin really was. Once she had hit the point where she was comfortably warm, she fell asleep.
Words: --- Addressed: --- Mentioned: ---
Roala followed as fast as her foot would move. When the reached the forest her face scrunched up in confusion until she spotted the shack. Reluntantly she moved to open the door before stepping aside for the wolf. Although she had followed, she was still wary.
Words: --- Addressed: --- Mentioned: --- The wolf remained still for the remainder of the night, keeping watch and keeping the girl warm, having recognized that she was without proper attire for the winters of the north. Once he was certain she was still out come morning, he moved away from her and shifted to a dark skinned man and he pulled his hair back and tied it with twine. He pulled on light colored shirt, his dark pants having remained on him, and walked barefooted to the fire to get it started again. Once finished, he started cooking some breakfast, pausing long enough to carry furs to the girl to insure she remained warm.
Roala rolled over to her other side when she unconsciously noticed that her heat source was gone. She couldn't remember the last time that she had been as warm as she was last night. At least not since she arrived, in truth she had begun to get used to the cold- somewhat. Not too long after, her head tilted up-the food flooding her nose. As some of the warmth returned she snuggled under it, burying herself up to her nose. She wanted to get back to her dream to see what the source of the smell was. Still dozing a thought hit her. She wasn't crazy- that was food she had smelt. But she had stopped seeing images when she woke up. Eyes popping open she looked around, head swiveling around while the rest of her stayed still.
Words: --- Addressed: --- Mentioned: --- Forest had moved back to the fire, cooking a small steak with some potatoes and eggs from his storage, which was a small hole in the floor with a trap door. He worked in silence, hearing silence, and stood a little while later and moved towards a shelf, pulling off some dishes.
Roala watched the man after her eyes had located him. Sitting up she followed his movements, curious about who he was. Getting the urge to ask him she used her good foot to push herself up off the floor. Keeping the blanket around her, she let the furs drop to the floor. As he was getting plates out she moved to stand behind him. Once he had turned she took a step back so she wouldn't get hit in the process.
Words: --- Addressed: --- Mentioned: --- Feeling vibrations under his bare feet through the wooden floor, his hands paused as they pulled another plate, feeling the air as his means of listening. Slowly, he took the plate and laid it on the other, turning and giving a slightly startled expression as he saw the girl who had stood behind him. Forest offered a smile, eyes bright as he turned over in his head how to speak, and then he said quietly and with an accent that was far different from the northerners, "Morning."
He stepped around her and to the fire, setting the plates down and moving the food to them, asking as he looked at her, "Did you sleep well?"
"Morning."
Roala took in his appearance with studying eyes. "Good Morning." She questioned who he was until he had looked down at her. His bright eyes were oddly familiar to the one who led her there. And the wolf was no longer to be seen.
"Did you sleep well?"
Her head turned to once again follow his movements. "I did. " She yawned before hobbling over to where he was. Spotting what was on the table she quickly ran to the door. "What time is it?!"Swinging it open she stepped outside to look at the sky, coat dropped on her way. "Shit."
Words: --- Addressed: --- Mentioned: --- "I did. What time is it?! Shit."
Forest caught the first part of the sentence, having to guess on the second part as she turned away. "It's, uhm, a few hours after sunrise," he explained, then turned back to the plates, filling them, then moved them to the table and looked towards her.
"It's, uhm, a few hours after sunrise,"
Roala looked at the door to the plate and back. "I will stay for breakfast. But I'm in a hurry. Sorry I just have somewhere to be."
Words: --- Addressed: --- Mentioned: --- "I will stay for breakfast. But I'm in a hurry. Sorry I just have somewhere to be."
"Where have you got to go so quickly?" he asked, eyes remaining on her as he sat, grabbing a piece of bread.
"Where have you got to go so quickly?"
Roala cut a piece of steak. "I have to check up on someone. I'm was supposed to be back last night, and I don't want to leave him alone longer than I have too." Her gaze grew distant. "I'm worried about him."

"I have to check up on someone. I'm was supposed to be back last night, and I don't want to leave him alone longer than I have too. I'm worried about him." Forest tilted his head, thinking a moment. "Who is it?" He was curious, and he wanted to find a means to help, but he doubted he could be of good use. However, hope and determination remained.
Roala watched him a moment, blinking. Maybe he would know him or what's going on. "Maybe you have heard of him-His name is Cenric Moran. And he's my little brother. " she exhaled looking down. Not that he knows... shaking her head she speaks with diverted eyes. "I came to Norcrest to find him."

"Maybe you have heard of him-His name is Cenric Moran. And he's my little brother. I came to Norcrest to find him."
He didn't want to admit that he couldn't hear anything as he took a bite of breakfast, though he had seen someone mention the name. "Is he by chance a blonde boy, small? Quiet?" His accent shown a little more as he tried to remember what words went where in a sentence. "Nice to animals, 'specially birds?" His 'r' rolled over his tongue a little.
Is he by chance a blonde boy, small? Quiet?" "Nice to animals, 'specially birds?"
"The one and only. Have you met him?" she stared at him, hoping that he would have some information that could help her. She took two more bites before pushing it away, she had planned to bring some to the boy. He had to be tired after working all night, but a meal could do him some good.

"The one and only. Have you met him?"
He bobbed his head in response. "I have. A kind heart." He finished most of his food, thinking. "I can help find him." But would he tell her what he knew? He wasn't sure. Things like that never went well with others, especially when learning bad news about a loved one. At least, based on what he'd seen in life.
"I have. A kind heart . "I can help find him."
Roala's eyes lifted to look at him before they softened. "I agree." a smile touched her lips before she shook her head. "I know where he is." watching him grow quiet she sighed pushing her hair back with her left hand. "I've been meeting him for days now. That's why I need to go. " standing she looked at him. "But I don't know where this place is. Will you take me back?" she was grateful for everything he had done.
Words: --- Addressed: --- Mentioned: --- "I agree. I know where he is. I've been meeting him for days now. That's why I need to go. But I don't know where this place is. Will you take me back?"
Watching her closely as to not miss a word she spoke, he ran it all through his head as he nodded, standing and stepping into the room to the side. He dressed himself, minus his cloak which sat close to the door."Let me get you something first." He stepped back out with a pair of fur boats and a cloak with fur, stepping over to her. "Here. To fight the cold."
."Let me get you something first."
Roala stepped over to the door as she waited, a bit impatient to get going. Yes it was still early, but normally he found her there asleep at this time.
"Here. To fight the cold."
Eyes traveling to the objects, questioning eyes studied him as she took them slowly. "You always keep fur boots?" exhaling she raised one leg after the other to put them on, cringing inwardly as her hurt ankle was put inside. Once she had slipped on the coat with a flourish, she opened the door and stepped outside. "Lets get going."
Words: --- Addressed: --- Mentioned: --- "You always keep fur boots? Lets get going."
"I try to stay prepared, yes," he responded, pulling on his cloak and followed her out, guessing that she was ready to go as she turned away before he could see what more she said. He pulled the door closed and looked around, taking in the morning air as his senses worked to orient himself, which didn't take long.
"I try to stay prepared, yes,"
"Interesting." Roala exhaled once she was outside. At least her feet were covered against the snow. Her gaze landed on him before she turned to him. "So what's the quickest way? Walking or riding?"
Words: --- Addressed: --- Mentioned: --- "Interesting. So what's the quickest way? Walking or riding?"
"Walking," he replied, starting ahead. "To get a mount would take extra time." He looked over his shoulder at her, both to see if she was following and to see her reply.
