howling for you / open, visiting

[Orion]

For all the times he roamed his homeland's territory, Raymond found himself less engaged than usual. Not even the tree markers could stop him from moving along through the territory to find something new. After all, Tanglewood, while active and enthralling, was not always as lively as he hoped. The community lacked novel ideas. Hell, even their meetings were rather lackluster. Leroy usually bumbled on about their new disdain for The Pitt while Crow kissed his ass and Aurum simped for any attention he could, even from the lowest of fiends. Not even their events were outgoing. They always seemed traditional. What even is a mask ceremony? And war paint? Why have both instead of just one for battle?

Needless to say, he was considering his options. With nothing left to do in Tanglewood for the time being, he needed something else to do... or perhaps somewhere else to explore. The Typhoon was already a destination of his, seeing that he was their ambassador, and Elysium didn't seem too different these days. The Pitt seemed interesting though. Once the thought of visiting their enemy entered his mind, he couldn't help but ignore it. What lurked there? They couldn't be so bad.

Impulsively, Raymond rose to his feet from inside his home and sauntered away. Soon enough, he passed the Tanglewood border, sashayed through the neutral grounds, and soon wandered into the deserts of The Pitt's border. As he arrived, the jaguar stopped. He inhaled sharply. The fresh air, unlike the swamp's musk, was strangely pleasant. With his satisfaction fulfilled, he lowered his haunches and wrapped his tail around his front paws. A hazel gaze stared outwards. The greenery of the jungle in the distance sat on the horizon. It seemed like a mile away, yet so close. Despite being an enemy, he desired to go further into their territory and explore their land. Whether that was for his benefit or his clan's would be unbeknownst to them.

Now settled, the jaguar let out a stern yell. "Hello, hello?" he called out. "If I may visit and talk peacefully, that would be delightful." He meant no harm currently. The Pitt was not his personal enemy, but being a Tanglewooder did paint a target on him. Nevertheless, their kind had never done anything to him currently, nor did he see their ways as 'cruel'. Even one deranged leader couldn't change that. All of the other groups defended themselves from war and attacked in retaliation, so why couldn't they? Instead of judging them as a whole, he'd prefer to individually assess them. He hoped they would do the same in return.
