The streets of Rakine where seriously empty, it was like a dog ghost town. Don't get her wrong, Skye could see plenty of humans, just very little dogs. This damped her mood considerably, her tail hung low and she would look shyly up at everyone. She sighted, she missed everyone, Faline and all those other dogs that popped up anywhere and everywhere. She missed teasing the fat man that tended the meat locker and the occasional furry cat that appeared, petted by a thousand of the little humans.
Skye looked down on the alleys and every nook and cranny of Rakine searching for any canine, with little hope. How could someone disappear so suddenly? Her ears where attend to any sound, even the faintest bark, she wanted to talk with someone, to see someone. It felt like so long ago.
-"Hey you!"
Skye's ears perked to the sound of someone calling. Finding new hopes, she turned around, tail wagging. And sighted, there on the other corner of the block, was not a dog, but a crow. With a bit of disappointment, she walked slowly towards the birds.
-"What?" she asked warily.
At that the crow squawked loudly and dove for her head. Not knowing what else to do, Skye ducked. Its claws barely missing her ears. A growl formed at her throat at the troublesome creature.
-"Why'd you do that for?" she barked angrily.
The crow simply cackled and went its way. Skye gave another profound sigh, great no dogs, just troublesome birds. She wrinkled her nose at the scent of meat. Cautiously, but slowly she walked towards a lady carrying a piece of ham. Her tail wagged faintly behind her. The human giggled and threw Skye a piece. The dog excitedly ran after it.
Her tail wagged excitedly behind her as she almost caught the piece, to have the crow pluck it out from her jaws. She growled, but said nothing. How she missed Rakine's sweet nothings.

A melodic laugh came from the alleyway as the bird ran off with the young female's scrap. It almost sounded like crystal breaking on the cobblestones.
"Better luck next time nina..." the voice matched the laughter, musical and somewhat sharp, with a long purring accent...yet its owner kept to the shadows, not daring to come out into the sun.
Viernes smiled from where she was at, at least the pup gave her a good show, albeit a bit pathetic to get out smarted by a mere crow. "Looking for something...or just lost?" she seemed to like to keep her tone cryptic and her wording vague, all the while, she sounded terribly amused at poor Skye.

Skye was mad at the stupid crow. So mad at it she was pawing the ground and kicking at pebbles at the same time as walking in circles. Stupid crow, she kept repeating inside her head, stupid crow. She eyed everything around her cautiously, searching for the idiotic crow. What was she doing?! It was a crow for Pete's sake. With took a deep breath.
-"Better luck next time nina..." came a voice from somewhere nearby.
Skye' ears perked to total attention. She turned around rapidly, so fast her head spun, her tail wagging faintly behind her. Someone to talk to! Her happiness barely could be contained, at this point her tail wagged so fast she felt like it would fall off at any moment.
-"Hi!" she barked happily.
She began walking towards the alley the female found herself. Her tail still wagging keeping a toothy grin as her expression. Happiness dancing in her eyes. she couldn't help it she was just to excited to see a dog, a dog! For the first time in so many days, it felt like forever since she had seen one around Rakine.
-"Looking for something...or just lost?"
-"I'm looking for someone to play with, or talk to..." she said sounding absent minded "I'm Skye!" she barked after a long time.

"I don't...play." Viernes stepped out of the shadows, her dainty form stepping elegantly into sight, her eyes slightly squinted due to the contact with the sudden light. "You're not the boss here I suppose, just some cachorro...a pup."
The older female sighed, holding her fan like tail high and still eyeing Skye up and down, a devious little smirk on her face. "Excited little thing aren't you?" she laughed, humming to herself.
"However, I do talk...so tell me. Who's in charge here, I haven't seen hide nor hair of anyone who knows what's going on since I got here."

-"I don't...play."
Disappointment swept through the pup. She wanted to play, but she could not push the matter further, but was excited to meet someone. Her tail wagged faintly behind her and she smiled kindly at the female.
-"You're not the boss here I suppose, just some cachorro...a pup."
-"No, I'm not..." she said with a grin "But if by boss you mean the leader of this h're port, that would be...." her thoughts wandered as she caught the crow by the corner of her eyes. Her smile turning into a growl, following the troublesome birds with her eyes.
-"Excited little thing aren't you?"
-Her tail wagged and she almost flipped over from happiness "I s'ppose" she said with a cocky grin.
-"However, I do talk...so tell me. Who's in charge here, I haven't seen hide nor hair of anyone who knows what's going on since I got here."
-"Well that be Faline!" she almost squeaked "She's like you say, the boss and I really can't say where exactly she is...." muttered Skye while looking around as if intent of finding her.

"Eh...don't worry about it. Skye, yes?" Again the female looked at the pup, her clear blue eyes watching her with utter scrutiny. "This Faline will show up if she feels like it...if she does, she does, if she doesn't well...forget her." Viernes was very nonchalant, besides, if she didn't find the alpha, well, it would mean she wouldn't have to explain herself, or worse...join a pack.
"So tell me, what does a port dog do here for fun? Other than getting outsmarted by the local bird population." she gave Skye a sly grin and winked, she was teasing of course.

"So tell me, what does a port dog do here for fun? Other than getting outsmarted by the local bird population."
Skye looked around and frowned at the scenery. Not very pleasant for any visitor, she still couldn't see any dogs around except her. She took a few steps to look around and after a few seconds turned back to Viernes, smiling.
"Well we could try and steal some meat outta that meat locker over there" she said, puffing her chest, grinning. Trying to sound as brave as she could "Or you could watch the sea, depending what type of gal are you" she continued,s till trying to sound tough. reason, impressing someone.

"Eh I snuck lunch off some sailor when I got here." Viernes had very little trouble finding food for herself, she was a cunning, and for the most part liked to show off, but she was never the sort to get into trouble she couldn't get out of. "It was too easy."
"And to be fair, I've been looking at the ocean for a long long time. I'm an adventurer, I've seen most of the world..." the sight hound was boasting, but she wasn't untrue, she had traveled the globe.
"I'm not sure the Sea would impress me much."

-"Eh I snuck lunch off some sailor when I got here." said Viernes "It was too easy."
At this Skye was disappointed, her tail drooped and her ears almost flattened against her skull. She had hoped she had said to go for some food, she herself could have a bite right now. She shook her pelt and smiled, trying to seem cheerful like nothing in the world could bother her at the moment.
-"Well that's a shame, I thought someone like you would ought to have a bite." she said with a toothy grin.
-"And to be fair, I've been looking at the ocean for a long long time. I'm an adventurer, I've seen most of the world..."
Skye shifted her footing, thinking about what to say. To tell the truth she was curious, maybe Viernes knew of a good story to tell, that would be exciting. Some stories, yeah, Viernes would probably have a lot of tales to tell. Maybe even about piartes! She almost jumped for joy when she thoughts of this and took a few steps towards Viernes, a smile forming on her muzzle.
-"I'm not sure the Sea would impress me much."
Skye almost completely ignored her, grinning at Viernes. She already had her mind made up.
-"Traveled the world" she repeated excitedly "So like, on foot and boats and stuff like...like...pirates!" she almost squeaked of excitement. Her tail wagging behind her and shifting her footing, almost seeming like she was about to dig a hole through the ground.

"Exactly like pirates." She had seen them, even herself with her swarthy Spanish mannerisms and secrecy seemed like she could be confused for a privateer. "What you never see pirates before?"
Viernes chuckled, at least she was humoring the young female, and why not? Skye was amusing her, her heavily feathered tail wagged lightly as they walked.
"They're thick where I was born. "

"Exactly like pirates."
Skye beamed at the female, her smile coudln't possibly get bigger than that. She was glad to have Viernes for company the female amused her and she knew so much and traveled the world! And...and...pirates. Skye's mind was not making any sense at the moemnt she was excited beyond words or images, she just looked at the female with a smirk on her face and her eyes popping out of her head.
-"What you never see pirates before?"
-"I want to be a pirate" teh pup muttered absenmindely, not actually sure of Viernes heard.
-"They're thick where I was born. "
She stared at the female with awe, she was someone who you just stare out with your mouth hanging open like an idiot. She took notice of her mouth hanging open and shook her head, a sheeppish chuckle as she looked at her paws, that wasn't polite. It wasn't polite to stare at travelers with your mouth hanging open, she chuckled again and shook her head.
-"There were lots of pirates where you were born?" she asked like an idiot "Really? How did they look like? Where there lots and lots? Did you meet one? Do they travel a lot? Where where you born? How did you get here? Have you sailed in a pirate ship...?" she trailed off as the pup noticed she was asking more questions than Viernes could answer, blabbing away so quickly that she could barely recall all that she asked.
She flashed a smile in Viernes's direction.

"There were lot of pirates where I was born...some of them looked like the sort you'd read about in story books, the others like dapper gentlemen and ladies." Viernes smirked at Skye's enthusiasm, her uncle would have liked this pup. "I was born in Spain, which is over the sea."
She sighed and stopped for a moment, the gold bangle on her paw making a metalic clank on the boardwalk. "Well I came here on a ship of course..." she laughed, and shook her head. "What do you think I swam all the way here Nina?"

Skye grinned. She liked listening to the female, clearly she was one for story telling, which brougth another idea to the pup. Her tail began to wag a little to fast, her pacing began to take an uneven bit and she tripped and almost fell head first into the cobblestone street. but gained her footing and leaped to her legs, giggling as she did, turning towards Viernes yet again.
-"Well I came here on a ship of course..." she laughed, and shook her head. "What do you think I swam all the way here Nina?"
-She shook her head quickly "'course not, what kinda of manner of traveling be that?" she said, grinning "you would be soaked through." she chuckled. "You're traveler..." she mused "that means you could tel lotsa tales" she said more excitedly "I would like to listen to tales and stories!" she almost sqeacked.
