[OPEN] Apathetic

[Fahad]

F A H A D

Emotional attachment is really not a threat when I'm simply not concerned.

It had been weeks since the wolf had sufficiently rested himself and to come along this river was quite the treat. He wasn't on the run from an enemy but he just hadn't felt the need to stop his journey. His journey didn't have a destination and he wasn't longing for a pack or friendship. He was quite content to continue on alone and need no one. Sure, being a loner was difficult and he often went without a good meal but it wasn't something he could not handle. The more frequent his trials became the less he cared and the effect they had on him lessened as well. Why the brute had decided to stop here was unclear but since he had he would relish in a cool walk in the water.

Fahad trotted out into the stream and felt the chilly water reach his chest, sending a shocking sensation throughout his entire body. His senses were now on high alert. The brute wasn't wary of an enemy attack because he felt quite certain he could flee if the need be. This was why he never disliked his small stature. Sure, he may not be as strong as some wolves but at least he was nimble and quick. He waded around lazily and occasionally lapped at the water. When he no longer felt the rush the cool touch had brought him he stepped out and shook himself off. It was quite chilly and his coat was not as thick as others. Being a warm weathered wolf, a thick pelt was not something he needed. Fahad dried off and continued to shiver softly. Although it was cold he didn't feel bothered. This was just his personality. He never seemed to become uptight or upset about anything. He was always the cavalier trickster.

This is not to be mistaken with callous. He may be uncaring but he was never outright cruel. He thought himself to be quite kind but it didn't surprise him when people thought he was cold and heartless. He could still be a gentleman and not cling tightly to relationships and what not, couldn't he? What was so important about the bonds everyone seemed so careful not to sever. The bonds are constantly becoming strained to the point of breaking and yet people cling to them as if nothing else mattered. This was something that never made sense to him. He was never tied down to anyone, whether it be friendship or love. The brute easily walked out of everything he had ever eased his way into. He did tend to be quite the heart breaker without even realizing it.

Fahad wandered away from the stream and lay between the roots of an enormous tree. He didn't want to sleep, he just wanted to watch the surroundings. The orange eyes were ready for any movement that might come.

Too much is made of what's in me
Not enough about how I strive
Keep an eye on your world it's cheating
Keep an eye keep an eye on me

Now this had to be about the most dreadfully boring place he had ever laid his eyes on. Nay, it WAS the most boring place. Oh how awful. He couldn't stay here. There had to be some sort of mischief that was brewing, something to poke a stick at and rile up. He couldn't just lounge about in the sun getting fat. Well...actually. That didn't sound like such a bad idea come to think about it. Ah but the sun wasn't even that hot today. And certainly his dark brown and black pelt could absorb the rays yet he would have to deal with the bitter cold of winter setting in. Ah how nature was so very very cruel. At least it prevented him from getting plum and stubby then. No he wouldn't want that. No one would want that, then how would he court wolves? He needed his ripened strong body to lure the prey to his den. He needed his adventures of a more..private nature. Yes certainly then nature wasn't all bad, it kept him from simply forming a permanent implant with the ground.

Which was good, for he would rather not share a life line with the roots of trees. The large male wandered about aimlessly, he wasn't quite sure what to do or where to go. This land was unclaimed, and although he was considered technically part of one of the packs here on the overall land. He hardly felt welcome. No, what welcomed him was the gentle rays of sun glistening against the leaves as the brisk air kept his heart beating quick to produce enough blood to run through his limbs so that they didn't get numb and limp. No he certainly wouldn't want that either. The male's body was very relaxed, his thick brown and black dripped outer coat flowing in the soft breeze. None of which seemed to penetrate to his undercoat. His timber heritage giving him a strong advantage against the nippy weather.

He found that humorous though. Even the weather wanted to snip at him. His muzzle parted softly as a gentle chuckle escaped from his maw. Oh how he could amuse himself. So entertained by his own terrible wit and humor that it wasn't until he was but a few yards from another wolf that he realized he was not alone at all. Hex's brow furrowed as he stopped his quick walk, trot, jog...whatever one would care to call it staring out into the distance. His golden eyes trailing after the other wolf as they waded through the water. Hex's nostrils inhaled deeply exhaling the scent slowly. There were a few things that he could immediately gather. One had to be that there was no prominent pack that the wolf seemed to belong to. Though Hex ruled that out, certainly they could be in a pack and the freezing water just washed the stench of others off them. The other that he gathered was that the wolf was male.

Testosterone was not a difficult chemical to recognize. And it became apparent to Hex that the wolf was indeed a male. Hmm. His golden orbs incredulous as they were sized up the wolf. Now they seemed to be a rather petite little package. Though he would have to saunter closer to be able to agree with that judgment. After all every wolf that he would stumble across at this distance would obviously be smaller than if he was standing face to face. Hex's nose twitched idly as his piercing glare focused in narrowing softly as he stood down wind from the male. There was always a chance that they would look up in this direction and thus his cover would be ruined. Not that he was really making much of an effort to conceal himself. What for honestly? Did he need to hide from the wolf? This was honestly not claimed land.

There was no need to shy away from company either. The wolf however did not look in the direction that he would half anticipating him to. And thus Hex shrugged his shoulders idly continuing to watch the obviously oblivious male as he shook his seemingly thin fur. Hex couldn't tell if the male had been shuddering or shivering, he squinted to get a better look at the movements. Watching them convulse and then it wasn't long before they ventured to another part of the woodlands. Hmm...to merely stand here like an idiot or go introduce himself and perhaps not be so bored? Indeed there was no need to further debate this with himself. Hex's large paws hoisted from the small imprints he left considering he had been standing for so long his weight was pressing down on the soft ground.

He began to slowly pad toward the wolf. Making sure to create and air of accidental discovery rather than seem as though he was stalking the unknown loner. Hex yawned idly walking along the bank and making sure to stare straight ahead when he padded toward the adjacent direction that he had saw the male wander toward. Hex stopped abruptly, scenting the air roughly as if catching a case of the sniffles briefly he glanced in the direction of the male seeing him resting beneath an uprooted tree was it? Hex didn't really pay any attention to the surroundings. What for? They weren't interesting nor were they good for conversations. All trees were good for were scent marking and scratching an itch on one's back that just couldn't be scratched any other way. So they were basically stinky scratching posts as far as he was concerned. Hex gave his best surprised look and tilted his head. "Hello." He spoke finally, granting the male a gentle smile.
