The corners of Selina’s mouth twitched up into a tiny smile and she nodded, “It was nice to meet you as well Frankie.” With that, she took off at a run back into the woods, seeming to know exactly where she was headed as she ran off.

Frankie watched with a soft admiration as she disappeared into, what was probably, familiar territory to her. A small part of him was a little jealous of that fact. Humans weren't really all that great. They were greedy, and had no respect for the world around them… or for each other either. They were practically imprisoned by mandatory schools and jobs that left them physically and mentally exhausted.
Out here, though, he could forget all of that. Out here Frankie felt free.

She raced through the trees easily, slipping around fallen branches and running up the slight hill up to where she was supposed to meet some of the other pack members. Today she was supposed to help hunt. In all reality, hunting felt weird to her. She could think of everything and she almost felt guilty, though she knew it was the easiest way for the pack to survive. All she had to do was not think as she ate or hunted for the poor animals that would become the food for the pack.

Using the tent and a couple of nearby tree branches, Frankie made a tarp-like cover to keep any bad weather out of the cave while he was here. The tent was cameo patterned with a small orange stripe on the top, so he hoped that would work in his favor. He moved on to quickly clearing a small area and surrounded with rocks to serve as a fire pit.

(Oke)
The day went by painfully slowly for Selina, going by with hunting, patrolling pack borders, meeting with the Alpha and Luna along with a billion other things. It was late at night when she was finally free, transforming into her wolf form before slipping away from the pack to check in on Frankie.

After setting up his camp and finally eating something for breakfast, Frankie tried to keep himself busy by exploring the nearby area. But his mind kept circling back to Selina. She was fascinating. Her silvery coat reflecting the moonlight, those captivating intelligent amber eyes… He smiled at the thought of seeing her again as he started a small fire.

When she got close to his camp, she slowed down and padded close silently. "Frankie?" She called out, stepping closer to what she assumed was his campfire. Her paws were silent, surprisingly so almost, considering she was a large wolf, an animal that shouldn't seem to be as quiet as it was.

He snapped his head up at hearing his name called. If he had been a wolf himself, his ears would have perked up as he looked around. It had to be her. No one else for miles knew him. ”Selina? Is that you?”

"Yes, it's me," She replied, walking out into the open and looking around, "How are you liking the cave? Is it alright to stay in?" Her golden amber eyes wandered to the cave and she studied what he had done, actually slightly amazed that he had made it more inviting looking than before.

Frankie smiled welcomingly. ”I like it very much. I'm going to enjoy staying here.” Especially if you can keep visiting. ”I hope you don't mind what I’ve done to it for my visit.” he gestured to the small site he made.

Selina nodded, "Your changes are fine, as long as they aren't going to be here permanently after you leave." She didn't bother to ask or answer any more questions as she laid down a little ways away but still close. Her paws were crossed in front of her and she was clearly still on guard, her ears turning around at every noise that she heard.

Frankie nodded. ”I promise to put everything back when I leave. It’s good to see you again.” he smiled a little shyly, unsure of what else to say.

"It's good to see you again as well, Frankie," She replied, even managing to get a smile-like look on her face without seeming scary, "So, tell me about yourself."

”Uh… Not much to tell, really.” he blushed. ”I… I'm 22, currently not in college and I love nature.” Frankie shrugged with a small smile. ”I came out here because I want to see as much as I can of what Wilds are still left in the National Parks. I know it's not as much as it used to be, but… At least it's still here.”

Selina nodded, settling in even more, "So what is college exactly? I know there are rogues of my kind that live among humans and know more about that, but I've only heard of it from visitors in the park talking about it." Her head cocked to the side curiously and she debated showing him her human form, he had earned her trust so far from not talking about talking to her.

Frankie smiled softly. ”Right, sorry. College is…” he sighed, rubbing his neck, ”Well, it depends on what definition you want. It's supposed to a way for people my age and older to keep learning and eventually get a good-paying job. But honestly, if it's anything like the other schools I’ve been to then, it's a prison.” he looked at her before realizing she wouldn't know that word either. ”A cage, basically.”

She growled and shook her head, clearing understanding the word 'cage', "Why would any reasonable being subject themselves to being put in a cage? I've had experience with those, and they're worse than being bound with actual chains." Other than the fact that it was insane that humans would willingly go to college, as Frankie said they did, it interested her immensely, "So, do you have any family?"

Frankie shrugged. ”We don't always have a choice. Until we get to college-level, school is mandatory. They say it's for our benefit to go on to college if we want to make our own mark on the world, be someone important.” he scoffed. ”Thing with me is, the things I want to learn can't be found in a book.” Taking a calming breath, he continued. ”I’m sorry you had to experience being in a cage, though I would agree chains are better, if just barely.” His gray eyes lit up a bit when she mentioned family. ”Just my dad and my sister. I don't really look like him except for the ears and jawline but he says he’s proud of me for taking this trip since it's what I really want to do. And my younger sister, Cora, is 19 and is just as passionate about the ocean as I am about all this.” he gestured around them.

"They force you to spend your childhood going to a school?" She shook her head again, "You learn more about the world and can make more of a difference just by living out here for a month." Selina didn't acknowledge what he had said about her being in a cage, clearly not wanting to delve into the subject any further. "What about your mother?" She asked, getting to her feet and walking around for a little bit before settling down in a place opposite of where she was before, still facing his camp and him.

”Childhood and teenage years.” Frankie pointed out before smiling and nodding enthusiastically, ”Yes! Thank you! I’m glad someone agrees with me on that.” he sighed in relief at hearing his perspective spoken aloud by another. He didn't care that the other individual was a wolf, it felt good to know he wasn't alone in his thoughts on this topic. His smile almost disappeared when Selina asked about his mother. ”Uh… She…” he cleared his throat, stalling, ”she died in a car crash. Drunk driver didn't even see her.” he murmured, stirring the embers at the bottom of the fire.

She nodded again, bowing her head respectfully, "I'm truly sorry to hear that Frankie. If you don't mind me asking, how old were you when she passed?" Again, she crossed her front paws and really debated showing him her human form. Her gut told her she could trust him, but she didn't know for absolute sure if it was right.

Frankie frowned in thought giving a shrug. ”I think I was nine… If it's ok, I don't really like talking about it.” he sighed, lifting his head slightly. ”Can you tell me about you and your pack? I know a bit about wolves but I would like to hear it from someone who lives it.”

Selina thought for a minute, nodding, "Sure, I will, but I have to show you something before you ask any other questions." She had decided that it would be easiest to tell him about her pack in human form, that way he would be able to understand her life better, at least she felt. "Do you have a pair of pants and a shirt I could borrow? It has to do with what I have to show you."

Frankie blinked owlishly, even tilting his head slightly in confusion before nodding. ”Of course I do. One second.” He stood, walked into the cave and grabbed a spare shirt he had planned for sleeping and a pair of hiking shorts. ”I hope these’ll work. I don't understand why you need them but…” he shrugged placing the clothes as close to her as he felt he could get.

"I won't hurt you Frankie," She said with a small laugh, seeing that he didn't seem to be comfortable getting close to her. Selina took the clothes gently in her mouth and stood up, padding a ways away, "Don't follow me, I'll be right back." Easily, she found a space away from him protected from creeping eyes and dropped the clothes, shifting into her human form and pulling them onto her body.

Frankie gave a relaxed smile at her reassuring words. ”I didn't really think you would. If you wanted to I doubt I would be in one piece right now.” he chuckled. ”I was just trying to be respectful of you. Don't worry, I’ll stay here.” He promised, turning back to the fire trying to figure out what a wolf would want with some spare clothes.

"Ok, Frankie, don't freak out at what I'm going to show you, please," She called out after getting dressed, wandering back towards the camp. She didn't step out into the open right away, waiting for him to say he wouldn't freak out.

He scoffed playfully, raising a brow. I don't know what could freak me out right now. I have been having a conversation with a wolf. What else is there? ”As long as you don't show me a dead body, human or animal, I should be fine.” Frankie promised confidently.
