Melora laughed at Ashen's comment. Lightening the mood seemed to be something she was good at.
"So how long have you lived here? And speaking of that, where exactly is here?"
Melora had not thought to ask when she first arrived and had not paid attention to any signs.

"i have lived here just over a year, and i already know it like the back of my paw." Ashen smiled as she walked beside Melora. "here we are in Pan'do the southern forest of Wildgard. Wildgard is the town the elves took you too, in order to find me. i had a longer mane that day, but the elves...needless to say took it." Ashen shrugged at her last comment.
"i built my home here to keep my family safe. Pan'ti forest tends to have to much going on, that's the northern one" Ashen point in the direction of the other forest. "one of these times i should show you around. if you decide to stay."

"I would like that. If it's alright with you, i think I'd like to stay for awhile. It will be nice to have a more permanent place to live."
Melora smiled as she looked around her new home.
"Where is everyone else? I would love to meet the other residences of The Silver Scale."

Ashen smiled, she was a curious one she would give her that. "youll see them soon, we are 13 members strong including honorary members. My mother synaria, Allynn, Trinity, my sisters. Jay my son Matsu our blacksmith youll get to see them all. though if you see a man in all black, he isnt much of a talker. Everyone has a job to do in the scale rather it be gathering food, supplies, information. to cleaning to cooking to tending the gardens. later tonight everyone should be home form there own event and youll meet everyone then."
Ashen continued as she lept over a very small river. She waited to see if Melora would make the very easy jump.

Melora was excited to meet the other members. She had never had friends before. They had been walking for a while and had now come to a small stream. Melora had encountered much larger rivers than this one and jumping over it took nearly no effort at all.
When she landed on the other side effortlessly, she noticed Ashen watching her with an amused look.

Ashen noticed her skill level, what appeared to ashen, was thought she lacked proper fighting skills, she made up for in natural abilities. a smirk grew on ashen face. 'Well, i know where i need her thats for sure.' she thought to herself
"we will be there soon, i hope you still fair fine." Ashen turned and continued, however she froze. a sound catching her ear, she rose her hand motioning Melora to stay silent and low as ashen crouched. Slowly she drew her bow reading it with an arrow. "we have a guest" she spoke quietly. Aimming for the bush just off to the right.
With out another moment, Ashen shot her arrow. then, silence. She straightened reading another arrow as she walked toward the bush, peeking over slightly her serious face turned into on of slight confusion with a smile. "well...least i caught dinner hehe..well then" Ashen sheathed her arrow and place her bow over her chest. pulling a young buck from behind the bush. "would you be able to lift this on my back if i where to transform? your more then welcome to get on my back also. we are almost there."

Melora watched in amazement as Ashen crouched, drew her bow and shot with ease.
"Yes I should be able to lift it. That should be fairly easy. And don't worry about carrying me; I have no issues with transforming myself. We will be able to get there faster that way anyway."
Melora walked over and dragged the young buck out from the bush, and when she turned around, Ashen was in mid transformation.

Ashen concentrated once Melora agreed, her body shifted almost flawlessly into a 9 foot tall Lavender Panther, with wings. silver ivy like runes stripped her body along with a few black. Shaking her fur, she stretched her wings. she Looked at Melora, hopeing not to scare her, it wasnt every day a 9 foot tall panther was a strange color and stranger wings. she lowered her body, so Melora could get the buck on her back, and get on if she wanted.

Melora stared in shock and amazement when she saw a panther standing where Ashen had been not 5 seconds before. She was slightly intimidated by the panther's size, but she was not scared as she knew that this panther was not a threat. She lifted the buck onto Ashen's back with ease and once it was secure, she took a few steps back. Once she began to concentrate on her transformation, Melora could feel the wolf in her coming forward and with only slightly more effort than Ashen, she was soon standing in front of Ashen as a 6 ft tall golden coloured dire wolf. Shaking her fur out, Melora relaxed; this was the first time in a month that she had fully transformed and it felt good. Nodding to the panther in front of her, she motioned that it was okay to continue.

Pleased Ashen looked at the Golden Dire wolf, Indeed her parents named her right. Ashen turned in the direction of the scale, and began to run. only looked back to check if she was still following once and a while.
After a few moments, they finally arrived at the scale. walking into the back yard, ashen shook the buck off of her. turning back to her Human like self.
"welcome to the scale, it home to all my whelps."
Ashen spoke as she stood, clapping her hands free of dirt from running. she dragged the buck to the tanning station. she would handle him later.
Ashen looked at the massive stone walls of the scale, enforced with thick timber logs. a smaller shed and barn to match with matsu's blacksmith on the opposite end of the yard. a large field for animals to roam from the barn and coop, and a well placed patch of land tilled, growing onions carrots garlic and herbs of all kinda.
"welcome to the land of the Silver scale. lets head inside, and see if anyone started Dinner." Ashen began to walk to the door.

Melora changed quickly back to her human form, and looked around at her new surroundings. It was a cozy little place, although little wasn't the best description. It was a fairly decent size to be honest. Wiping the dirt off of her hands, Melora followed Ashen towards the door. Melora hesitated before entering, suddenly nervous to meet these new people.
"Ashen..." Melora said quietly, "are you sure that it is okay for me to stay here? And that your housemates will like me?"
Melora suddenly sounded much younger, but she wanted to make sure that this would not end in her being rejected.

Ashen looked back at Melora, surprised at first. but gave her a reassuring smile. "youll be liked her, because i like you. i dont just let anyone through my doors. and my people know this. they will know you have a reason, just like all of them do. every single member has asked that same quest to me. 'will they like me' you'll see in time we are a patchwork family, we accept everyone who accepts us for who we are." Ashen opened the door. stepping aside to allow Melora inside.
"come on in Melora, we dont bite unless you want us too."
