- The white canine spent several more minutes sitting under the branches of an oak tree, situated neatly between two of the massive plant's large roots. He let out a long breath slowly through his muzzle, previously studying the dirt at his paws but now looked up to carefully survey his surroundings. Oddly, it felt peaceful here, even so close to a human village. Over the past few days he hadn't had much time to simply relax, or rather, wouldn't allow himself to do so. It was all just traveling. Wake up, walk for miles, hunt, sleep, repeat. He didn't mind it too much, but it was endlessly repetitive, so needless to say he was relived to finally break that routine he had constructed. Raising to his feet, Adrian let out a small yawn, his jaws opening wide to show his glistening sharp teeth. Stretching his front paws forward they were raked through the dirt, his paw pads creating two parallel lines indented into the ground. His back legs stayed where they were, causing his rump to raise up in the air.
Collecting himself back into a standing position, his eyes slowly scanned the forest once more. Faint sounds of human life her audible from the distance, but they were far enough away to where Adrian felt relaxed being in his current form. However, he wouldn't dare go much closer before shifting. He began walking forward once more, his pale ears perked for any new sounds that may be too close for comfort. There was, of course, a few birds and small ground animals that were making a ruckus, but he simply ignored them, as they were not of his concern. The canine slowed once more as he came closer to the village, his keen eyes trained on the path in front of him. He was slightly hesitant to shift, just because his coat was fairly scruffy and the scratches on his face didn't help his appearance. He probably looked like some outlaw.
Just as Adrian was deciding to shift back human, for the first time in almost a month, something caught his senses. The oddly familiar scent of a wolf was being blown towards him in the slight breeze. His head lifted and quickly turned in that direction, confused on how he had not been able to track this before now. He was somewhat disappointed in himself for being taken off guard, but at the same time intrigued. What was a wolf doing in a place like this? Unless it was not in fact, just a wolf. With newfound interest, he slowly began to follow the scent. Something about it triggered a nostalgic feeling, but he couldn't put his finger on why. He was cautions about how close he was getting to the village, now almost sure this was another one of his kind. No wolf would willingly travel right into the heart of a human establishment. He paused as the scent changed. The trees were thinning and a few buildings were now visible.
Letting out a slight growl of annoyance, having hoped he could figure this out before entering the village, he figured he'd have to shift after all. Even though he had done this probably a thousand times in his life, it always left him pretty sore. Within just a few seconds he was standing on two feet again, a bit shaky but he soon reestablished the rhythm of walking without the aid of two extra paws. As he traveled out of the line of the trees he strode confidently into the village, his eyes scanning the area in front of him for the alleged werewolf. It took him a few moments to decide where they had walked off to, but was soon following behind that path.
He passed several humans on his way. Some he noticed spent a few moments to watch him, probably simply because they didn't get too many visitors, but Adrian ignored them, focused on his mission. After just a few minutes of walking, he suddenly stopped, seeing an all too familiar male in the distance. Adrian must have appeared shocked and although he could only see the back of him, whom it identified as was unmistakable...but it had been years, how could he be here now? What were the slim chances of such a thing happening? No, it couldn't possibly be anyone else. He smelled the same, as odd as that sounded.
A few moments later he was quite literally, tackling him to the ground. Adrian had bolted towards him, maneuvering in front of him at the last moment so he could land on top of him. He ignored any other individuals around, who probably thought the man was being attacked by some stranger. At the moment though, he didn't care. After successfully crashing onto the ground with Ashton underneath of him, he grinned down at his old companion. Adrian's hands were at his wrists, holding them above his head. However, his grip was loose and it wouldn't be difficult for him to get thrown off, which he was expecting. His knees were on either side of his body with his hair hanging slightly in his eyes. "Hey loser! What are you doing here?!" he spoke loudly, now consciously aware of the few around them so didn't add the last, 'living with all these pathetic humans.' The journal that had previously been in Ashton's hand was skidding several yards across the hard ground to come to a stop against some building.
