One man's trash was another man's treasure...

For Thrax especially this was true. Carrion was something inside of a polar bear's diet and the particularly odorous stench attracted him from many miles away. Easy pickings that lead him into a beautiful mountain range that he had yet to visit. He knew of it however and knew rumor of a pack that lived there but had never gotten around to visit before the incident with the walrus occurred.

Unfortunately, it seemed that there was no pack here. Whether that was due to some tragic incident or due to rumors being false... He had no way to know. It made him immensely curious though....

You know what else made him curious? That food smell.

Fearing nothing, he limped into the territory and towards the old caches and found the jackpot! He began to gorge himself on rotted meat and other delicacies when he heard a noise. Stopping he pulled his head up to find a very slight wolf. Carrying a bundle.

"Oh, pardon my intrusion, madame. I thought this place was vacated and otherwise abandoned! If you were going to eat this I will gladly replace the meat that I've taken!" Oh, how embarrassing! He hadn't even smelled her! He was so focused on the carrion that she'd slipped past him.

 He was not surprised at her surprise in seeing him. She was a very small wolf and he? Well, he was massive and battle-scarred. His whole bodice spoke of a troubled life and he would never judge anyone for judging him. Although, the lapse in conversation allowed him to study the small she-wolf. She smelled… sick. Off. And not just because of the puddle of yuck in front of her. He felt sorry for the young one… but in his experience… he could tell what sort of “ailment” this was. Of course, he would not remark on it lest she want to talk about it, not when he’d just met her. That would be quite rude in his opinion.

 ”Thank-you, madame! You are most kind.” The polar bear gave a gracious bow of his head before turning to –what was left of—the caches. He easily scooped the foot over to him like it was absolutely no effort at all. ”I assume that this is your old home, then?” He said conversationally while he worked. ”Moving to greener pastures?” A figure of speech, really. A wolf as pale as himself would probably find such snowy environs the best to live in.

 Once he’d scooped what he could in front of him, the old bear sat down on his ample bum in front of the woman. A friendly grin broke the storminess of his complexion as it was clear he would love nothing more than a good chat. He absolutely loved hearing about the lives of wolves and what was going on in the neighborhood. Especially since he’d largely been deprived of it the past few months. He looked at her gathered items, clearly curious about the secrets they held.

 The slight wolf stood a safe distance away. This, he could not blame her for, he was large and intimidating... and bears were usually not known for their kindness towards wolves. So, he took no offense towards her caution and hoped that in time she could come to trust him. Time was the ultimate remedy to many situations.

 "A shame that is to hear... but I hope your new home will be twice as prosperous and thrice as beautiful." He said, hoping that the words would speak it into existence. Everyone deserved a beautiful home and a place to stay. He wondered if she'd be willing to share why they had to leave. The place looked perfect, untouched in its beauty.

 "Oh no, my dear," He said with a small chuckle, shaking his head. "I tend not to settle anywhere for too long. I have a wanderlust in my paws and a thirst for information that can't be quelled by dwelling in a single location for too long." Hence his reason for leaving Evenrise. He couldn't stay in one place; he couldn't be tied down lest he get too comfortable and stop moving. It would take a heck of a group to make him stop his lazy travels. "How else would I learn more about all of the interesting wolf packs here? With all of the sudden appearances I've found myself quite fascinated by all of them! If you'll excuse my saying." He didn't want to offend her with his information for all of the wolves and various packs. "Speaking of, you mentioned 'we'. Would you mind expounding on your pack, miss? Only if you'd like, of course." No pressure, he never wanted to force information out of anyone if they didn't feel comfortable giving it.

 Hmm... traveling... difficult... he could admit that he tended to have less danger than a lot of other creatures. No one in their right mind would dare bother a polar bear bull, even an old one. He'd actually never even held a sedentary life, save for his brief stay with Evenrise. Perhaps he could grow to like it but for now, he was happy to be on the road with the wind and snow at his back.

 Then they got to the nitty-gritty. She divulged him and with her little disclaimer, he gave her a sympathetic, "Ah..." Things must have been especially difficult. He couldn't see the small woman as being anything other than kind or timid. He was usually a decent judge of character --in his opinion, anyway-- and couldn't imagine her to have done anything bad.

 "I am saddened to hear that, miss. Pardon my saying, but you seem like the sort to want to avoid trouble. Although trouble oftentimes comes to find us." He said, closing his eyes and clearly thinking on things that had happened in his own life and that of others that he knew. He scratched at his stomach with one of his massive paws, clearly contemplative. "Ah, such is the unfortunate way of life." Here he opened his eyes, trying to give her a reassuring smile. "Although after the blizzard comes sunshine, does it not? No matter how long the storms may have lasted. And, without the storms we never really truly appreciate the good weather when it is around." A bit of hopefulness to help ease her mind, he hoped.

 He could never imagine what sort of trouble would have befallen her and her pack. Any number of things could have done it... but he was not so cruel as to make her open those old scars. He would let it be.

 "Shiroshika... if I see anyone searching for a haven then I'll be sure to send them your way. Only after you are properly settled, of course." He hoped that she liked the bit of goodwill. "I know your pack's name now, but not yours, my dear lady," He said with a chuckle, easily segwaying into introductions. "I am called Thraximundar, or simply Thrax, if you prefer."

 Everblooming trees? While also providing inspiration, he was certain that they must be lovely. It must have been a great tragedy that pulled them away from this place. "Oftentimes nature is all the inspiration we need..." He hummed quietly, thoughtfully.

 He would give a deep nod to the woman, acknowledging her thanks in a polite manner. Then, when she tried to pronounce his name, he smiled... and then tried to stifle his amused laughter. He knew his name was difficult but she gave it a valiant effort. "An absolute pleasure to meet you, Reiko. I will be sure to give you a visit whenever I am near. I've got your scent and can smell for miles despite the oldness of my nose." Here he gave a laugh at his own expense. He told the truth though and despite that he sometimes played down his abilities, he was a very adept tracker. "Hopefully I don't bore any of your packmates with my prattling!"

 He reached down then, and began to stuff himself with carrion. Fully intending to find the other Shiroshikans and have a pleasant visit. Maybe he could even tell a few stories to those interested.
