Duskee had spent the night huddled between some bushes he found in the lands of Synl. All the scents were new to him but he was able to sleep with ease. He felt comfortable in these lands for some reason. They were comforting to him and non threatening. The small dog mix got up and looked over the tops of the bushes to the surrounding lands. He had traveled at night so most of the scenery was by moonlight and completley different colors. A small smile crept its way across his face as he stood up and stretched his legs slowly, groaning in releif and pleasure as he did so.
His ears were perked to all the new sounds. His eyes were frantically taking in the things around him. He let his tounge lol out of his mouth as he trotted around checking things out. His black and dust speckled pelt contrasted in some parts to the woods and blended in others. His tail was wagging behind him with each step. He felt like he could truely be himself and happy for once here. He was paying no attention to who might be near or who might be watching him from afar.

Elsewhere a small grinning dwarf dog made her way through the underbrush of Synl. Anna had a hard time of it really, her tiny little legs didn't get her through very quickly. ANd she always made quite a bit of noise, but she was in good spirits, knowing full well that there was a clearing nearby that she could rest in.
She'd have rushed through quicker, but an odd smell had accousted her nostrals the smell of a strange canine that made her pause for a moment. As greeter to Synl she was obligated to go introduce herself and made herself known. So whipping her head up cheerfully she made her way in the direction of the smell and barked a swift greeting before she made herself seen, or for that matter see the dog in question.
"Hullo there!"

Duskee stopped in his tracks swiftly as he spun around to see who the other was. His ears were fully erect and his expression was that of suprise and slight confusion; for when he spun around there was no one to meet him at eye level. Thats when something klicked into his mind to look down. As he did a small smile came to his lips as he perked a brow.
"hello" He replied to the small female's statement. He cocked his head to one side relaxing his muscles and returning to a comfortable stance. He felt no signs of negativity from the small...what smelt like a canine." Who are....you" he sat himself down and lowered his head as much as possible without laying down to look into Anna's eyes.

The plucky female just trotted about, inspecting the young male up and down for some reason. A toothy smile on her face before looking up at Duskee. "I'm Anna." She stated very simply, still looking at the little dusty dog. "I'm the greeter of Synl. The packlands you are in. Who are you?" She perked her ears up, she was alert, but friendly, her little glasses slidign down her muzzle as she looked up at the taller pup.
"What's your name stranger?" She seemed a bit sardonic, but very friendly, as she scampered about, a little busybody. "You made it here safely yes? No one after your tail?" Anna looked behind Duskee and then frowned thoughtfully nodding her head.
"Doesn't seem like there is. So where you from? Take you long to get here?" She asked a lot of questions, but was very onesidedly conversational baout the whole deal. She sounded a bit like someone's overprotective mom.

Duskee watched all the anticts that the little female did, circling him, questioning him throughly. His smile got wider and he lightly chuckled."My names Duskee Ma'am and ive just been around" he chuckled one again as he watched her. He felt like he was being interveiwed to take someone to the prom or something. His dusk colored tail wagged lightly as not to accidentally hit Anna, with all her scurraging around and all.

"Around here? Or around in general?" Anna was specific like that, but not overly specific, the little female dodged the wagging tail and then smirked. "Hey careful there chipperboy, heh." she laughed and ducked out of the way.
She was done inspecting for now, Duskee looked like an okay enough fellow. "So what is your business here? In the lands of Synl, are you interested in staying here or do I have to escort you from here?" she seemed less enthused when she talked about harrying him out from here, that was not the corgi's wishes, there was always room in Synl for other dogs.

" i guess around in general?" His voice seemed questioning as he shrugged and watched her. His tail kept getting closer to practically hitting the small corgi. "hey careful there chipperboy, heh" he heard Anna call to him as he peered at his rear and noted that his tail was getting a bit out of hand. He shruged slightly lowering his head in embarassment and forced himself to stand so he would not hit her. "sorry, you know how it goes...got a mind of its own that darned tail!" He looked at her and tilted his head then looked away for a quick moment lowering his ears in shame. " oh...i...um...guess you really wouldnt know huh?" He forced a toothy grin upon his muzzle as he turned to face her with a sigh.
Duskee shrugged again. "I guess i really wouldnt mind living here if thats okay with the others too." He smiled full heartedly and began to wag his tail again."i havent been anywhere to call home in a long time" His voice was happy and joyed

Anna laughed at Duskee's joke she thought it terribly clever, and not offensive one little bit, in fact she was often the one alienating the other dogs by making light of her missing wagger. His shame was unfounded, nor his awkwardness about the situation.
"You're right about that Duskee...boyo that baby's been gone a long long time." She wiggled her stub and chuckled as her laughing died down.
"Well, you seem like an okay bloke. And as Greeter of the lands of Synl, I see no reason why you couldn't stay here. If you wish to call this your home." Her ears flicked curiously.

Duskee smiled down at Anna with a big toothy grin. His tail continued to wag as he listened to what she spoke."Do you even remember having a tail?" he questioned her as he walked up to her and lightly nudged at her stub, laughing some.
He bowed to Anna's compliment and replied"Thank you Anna, for allowing me to stay here with you and the others."he smiled again and shook his pelt in happiness looking around."Are all the others just as funny and nice as you are Anna?" He looked around then back down at her

"I remember it, didn't work any, so when I was very little, they chopped it off." Anna shrugged, when she was a farm dog the limp useless thing was a danger to her, and maybe even now if she had one, it would have been even more dangerous. How would have she made it all the way to Synl with a handle poking out of her butt?
No Anna had too many close calls to miss her tail. "I can't really say I miss it either, never did me any good..." She laughed, the best thing a tail was for was chasing and expressing ones self. And Anna wasn't a big runner and had gobs of personality to make up for a missing tail. "Nope I think I'm well off without it."
She smiled as Duskee was very polite and friendly, "Well you're welcome, I hope you're comfortable here, and all...its a big place but there are lots of folks here, I suspect you'll meet all sorts while you wander about..."

Duskee winced at the thought of a tail being, so simply put 'chopped off'. He had always been quite fond of his his tail and how much it told about himself at a certain moment. "I guess if it makes you happier, then cutting it off would have been the best thing for you." He gave her a small toothy grin.
He looked around again and took in a big whiff of the fresh air that accompanied the lands of Synl. It was so crisp and clean, it almost felt as though it cleansed the soul."I cant wait" He looked back down at Anna and wagged his tail happily at her.

"Heh" Anna chuckled, shaking her head. "Well be sure if you see another, say hi." The stubby pooch skipped about again, wagging her stub gleefully.

Duskee wagged his fluffy tail in place of anna's stub. He made sure to wag it extra hard just for her. "so what do you guys do around here for fun?" he asked. Maybe the two of them could go hunting or simply go for a stroll through the lands. Possibly meet another member?

"I mostly chase things...and try to get them in piles." Anna was still a herding dog in spirit...she couldn't help but want to get everything together. It was maddening. But then again, that same need to make things in one group did make her a pretty good greeter.
It just meant Oak trees and acorns were the bane of her existence...Duskee had no idea how hard it was to roll a clutch of acorns in a pile. It was...well...compelling in its madness. "Other people play, talk...eat things...I don't know."

Duskee usually just walked to take in the surroundings. He had a habit of simply watching things, it interested him on how things interacted with each other. He smiled down at the small corgi and wagged his tail. This short little female was quite the interesting one; especially her odd habits. He laughed some as he began telling about what others did in the land.
He nodded as she spoke and with the end of her scentence he leaned down and lightly nudged her. " i see an acorn out of place over there" He pointed with his snout to a freshly fallen acorn with a leaf still attached to it. He knew the gesture was mean, but he had to know what she would do if something like that happened when someone else was around. A sly smile came to his face as he watched her expressions.
