A Tale of Two Packs [reboot] [RP Play!]

xXx Fire Pack - Warrior
@ Max, Canary
Cartel flicked his ear as he heard the approach of the Alpha, he turned his head and bowed his head in response. "Good morning." He replied to him. He turned his head to face the camp as Max engaged in convocation. "I am well, thank you Alpha. I surveyed the whole boarder last night and saw nothing on patrol." He responded, reporting his findings and getting straight to the point of work. There wasn't many that Cartel shared any personal emotions or thoughts with, there was no-one he was bonded too.
"Are you well? Are there any duties I can priorities today?" Cartel then asked, He had a good plan of what he was going to do that day, however perhaps Max had more urgent work that needed prioritizing.

Cartel then turned his head as another wolf, a fellow warrior of equal rank approached. He bowed his head in respectful greeting. Hearing from Canary that the lead Warrior, Arian, had given word of a group patrol, he thought for a moment. "Very well." He responded. He looked back towards Max again. "It would be possible for me to stay out late tonight again if there is anything that needs to be done." Cartel offered. He often worked long hours and was used to being dedicated to work.

He looked back at Canary. "I would like to report to Ariana before patrol, this morning I noticed the prey pile was low, perhaps it would be beneficial if everyone was to also bring back something while patrolling today." Cartel added, before turning to Max. "Would that be okay with you, Alpha?" Cartel then asked. He understood his rank and didn't want to take any steps that may cause any problems amongst the pack, he also didn't want his confidence to come across as taking charge or control over a situation that he was not supposed to.

She opened her jaws to answer the other healer trainee but didn't have time to say anything before their mentor showed up. She blinked her eyes not so surprised that the healer was already sorted their herb storage "Good morning Terra, we were already waiting for you..." she said with a flick of her tail. She looked at Kotori as the healer finished talking "are you hungry Kotori wants to share something with me perhaps?" she asked the male trainee.

Chronos | male | warrior | Lightning | crush - Blizzard, open | tags - Basil

He narrowed his eyes "I didn't try to order you around, I just told you...you don't want to be around when the others get hungry and angry because of that..." he responded to her with a sight. His eyes looked to his half-sister Nyx there talking with Risen "hmm, well at least someone is being useful to do things without waiting for some orders" he said to her "you know we don't have a lead hunter to order you around..." he said with a smirk.

Nyx | female | hunter | Lightning | crush - Smoke, Leo | tags - Risen

She looked at Risen as the male spoke "really? it was alone? you know there could be its herd somewhere nearby?" she said licking her lips as the thought of the deers come to her mind, or maybe it was just the smell of the doe Risen bought there. She kept thinking "Cool, actually I have no plans yet, but now that you asked my stupid brother told me yesterday that he scented wild boars on our territory, so I thought maybe those are still there somewhere," she said," he said that the scent was very fresh near the muddy river, you know those pigs like to take mud baths" she continued looking at him with a smile "what do you say? want to try those? or we can see if we could track that doe herd too..." she said.

He woke up and left the den, yawning he looked around the camp, seeing that Risen was bought a deer and there seemed to be something small still left at the fresh-kill pile. He walked toward the deer "good morning Nyx, Risen, you caught this? So can I take a bite or two? please? even if I am not done anything to earn it?" he said with a laugh.

Roque | female | hunter trainee | crush - open | mentor - Toby | tags - Toby

She sighed "I see then that plan can throw down a cliff, there is not that kind of open area" she responded with annoyance. Seriously she hated snow and winter, well the first snow and the first weeks when the snow falls are usually fun, but the winter itself is way too long for her liking. She looked at him rather confused, she did know about the tensions between that other pack, but why could they need to keep their eyes on focus on their own territory "why? Who could come to us now?" she asked.

Archer | male | scout | fire | crush - open | tags - open

He took the long way to the camp, wanting to enjoy the cool weather and the silence just a little longer, before going back to the awakening camp. Thought the patrols will leave very soon so the camp could not be that noisy for long including who goes where or who stayed behind. Flicking his brown tail as he looked up to the largest trees to see some birds there hanging around, preening their feathers ' I see the spring is coming eventually' he thought to himself shaking his fur as some of the melting snow fell down to the branches as he walked past it. He blinked his eyes as the camp entrance started to show up there, only a few more steps and he could be home.

Blitz | male | warrior | fire | crush - open | tags - Morain

He looked at them once more, with not so interesting glare "well it's not our thing to think about their love life, if those two had something going on then good for them" he said rather coldly. He made his way toward the fresh-kill pile there was not much yet, but something small for them to share still "when do you think Max will choose the lead hunter? I've noticed that the hunters are a little lost at their jobs sometimes" he said his eyes looked over to the few smaller preys there "there are lots of hunters to choose from" he said silently.

Octavia | female | hunter | fire | crush - Max | tags - Aleck, Blaze

She smiled at Blaze and then to Aleck "I am doing fine, except that the usual itch is back though, so I was wondering if you had anything to give for that?" she asked "and yes, I will change my beddings too" she said.

Sable | female | hunter | fire | crush - open | tags - Miera

She stayed there watching in peacefully, as the pack started to rise from their dens. Stretching the black-furred she-wolf stood up and started her walk toward some of the hunters she saw being alone "Good morning Miera" she said with a gentle nod and a smile. She gave a look around before turning to face the other hunter "you ready for a hunt? with me or well we could ask any other with use, more hunters means more prey right" she said.

Serafina | female | all-around | fire | crush - Kassandra | tags - Kassandra

She listens to her, her ears and eyes looking over to the younger hunter there "well it's nothing new for the more experienced are more arrogant about themselves and do not consider beginners to be equal" she responded. She sighed "that seems to happen with anyone who just granduated before they prove their skills, to be recognized as an equal," she said. She then flicks her tail "but anyway young or not, it doesn't break the rules if you make your own hunting patrol as long it's after the hunting patrol organized by leads are done" she responded. She looked at Kassandra "you get nowhere just by staying still and waiting, sometimes you need to think yourself about what you could do" she said with a smirk "Am I right Kass" she said.

Louve

Louve chose to stay silent as she listened to the banter and as it became more lighthearted, she couldn’t help but let her gaze wander suspiciously between the two wolves. Something was going on, she wasn’t stupid. She was happy for her brother either way and would probably tease him about it later on. “What are everyone’s plans for today?”.

Lightning Pack | Fighter | Single | Tags: Fish

River nodded as Fish nudged her reassuringly, she offered a small smile with her nod. "Thank you" she commented knowing her secret was truly safe with Fish. She wondered why members of her pack thought the wolf was crazy. She seemed normal enough - peppy and excited yes. But crazy? No. River didn't see it. But she also appreciated the alternating personalities of her pack mates. It would be bland if everyone acted the same all the time.

"She was my mentor" River explained as the wolf wondered about her relationship to the Alpha. She flicked her tail before continuing "She became more of a mother figure to me after my mother passed. I trust her and she was there for me when I needed it the most" River explained quietly. "Although. I'm sure if she caught me hunting I would still be in trouble" she added with a small smile.

Lightning Pack | Hunter | Single | Tags: Nyx , Comet

Risen flicked his ear "I didn't scent any others near - but it is possible. " he agreed. It was odd to find one alone deer. Usually they traveled in herds so they would only be alone if lost or injured. He thought about the question Nyx asked, if they would rather track the deer or the boar. "we could try the pigs. Switch things up. Besides, Boar are more of a challenge" he said - almost excited "As long as that is what you both think would be good to catch" he followed up with.

As he heard steps approaching he looked up to see the brother, Comet. He dipped his head in greeting "Please, help yourself" he responded to the all - arounder. He flicked his tail "Nyx mention you scented boar?"

Fire Pack | Warrior | Crush on Aleck | Tags: Aleck, Octavia

Blaze offered a small smile to Aleck as he greeted them, he felt guilty of disrupting him from the tasks he was doing currently. He let Octavia speak as he knew she was here for a more legitimate reason than to chat.

He pinned his ears thinking of the time he had an itch himself "Itches are the worst. " he commented with a shudder. "I hope it clears fast for you" he commented

Fire Pack | All Arounder | Single | Tags: Hati


Destiny wagged her tail softly as Hati had invited her on the hunt. She dipped her head in thanks "yes please, that would be incredible" she said softly. [i] "It's either that or sit around here and wait until someone needs an extra set of paws" she added in a joking tone. Overall, Destiny was thankful for having a reason to leave the camp that afternoon. She also wouldn't mind getting to know Hati a bit more, as they had only spoken in passing.

Smoke | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Thessadowes | Location: Camp


"Was kiiiinda hoping to drag Axis with, but it looks like he’s occupied himself elsewhere," Smoke noted, nodding towards where he had occupied himself for breakfast with Karter and Aala. One of whom got along with everyone, and the other whom very few got along with, not necessarily in that order. "Or get Nyx and do a mix of a quick sweep while she hunts, and since you’re an All-Around, you’re pretty much allowed to do whatever you want! She’s busy too though." Smoke tugged a thin thrush out of the bottom of the pile, eyeing it. It could only be described as…soggy. That was okay. Food was food.


Móraín | Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Blitz | Location: Camp


"I make it my business." Móraín turned her gaze away from the two Warriors though. They were both very…unique wolves. One a rough, hardened brute, the other a master of sharp tongued wit and overthinking the small things. Yet somehow they’d made it work. Móraín had observed her Packmates enough to have picked up on Arian's attraction to Archer some time ago, but she had largely given up on that.

Móraín was happy to change the subject and follow him. "I assume it must be soon. It would be uncharacteristic of him if he was to simply ignore the fact we need someone to assume that position. It’s been a while since our old Lead retired. Alpha wouldn’t leave it TOO long. He may be harsh at times, but at the same time…everything he does is for the Pack."


Fish | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: River | Location: Camp


"I think I remember seeing you when you were a Trainee with her." It felt strange, making the Warrior tilt her head to the side as the realization settled in her mind. "Look at us, talking like we've been friends since we were little or something, sharing secrets and having fun! But…when you were fresh I to training, I had already graduated a while ago," she noted. She tugged a rabbit out of the pile. "SUCCESS! You get first bite," she offered.


Blizzard | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Louve, Mick | Location: Camp


Blizzard nodded to Mick. "I heard that too. Glad I’m not the only one," he agreed. Yet just as soon, they had moved on to speaking of the upcoming day. "Not many plans on my end. I’ll probably see if any patrol needs an extra body. It’s been surprisingly silent recently. Kind of makes me suspicious," the white Warrior admitted. He wrinkled his nose. "I mean I guess, but personally the…er…FISHY taste is just a bit strong for my liking. What, YOU like it?" He accepted the rabbit offered to him with a thankful nod to his companion.


Karter | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Aala, Axis | Location: Camp


"Got a favourite type?" Karter asked. Bird was a pretty broad range. Jays, chickadees, flickers, robins, anything with feathers and a beak was a bird, and there were HUNDREDS of them. Studying the pile, Karter scowled. There weren’t many of the young Warrior's favourites remaining, so he settled for a thrush. Skinny and small, but he was easily one of the smallest adult wolves in the Pack, and undoubtedly the smallest Warrior their ranks held.


Arian | Lead Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Erle | Location: Camp


"It is though," Arian insisted. "Thinking about my sister, who's my only remaining family. I remember the face of my mother in her last moments." Her shoulders hunched. "And I keep thinking…about if this war will one day be over. I’ll fight to my last breath, you know that better than anyone. I will fight and die for this cause if need be, but it doesn’t mean I WANT to." Her eyes closed. "And sometimes I wonder about HAVING a family of my own. About if the weight of my duties will ever lessen. Of if…"

She was sure Erle was by no means blind to her. He knew her better than she knew herself, she could swear it sometimes. On the surface, Arian always presented herself as strong and unwavering. As a Lead and a member of the Fire Pack, what else could she do? It was her responsibility. That didn’t mean she was never afraid though. "Of if when this is all over and we're free, if I’ll still be here to have the chance in the first place, to fall in love, to tell the wolf I like about it, to maybe find myself, to have a family…or if I’ll fall on the field."


Kassandra | Hunter | F-Pack | Tagging: Serafina | Location: Camp


"That’s exactly what I’m talking about," Kass agreed. Many of their Hunters were well into adulthood. Catania was quite possibly the youngest Hunter in their entire Pack, and she had graduated considerably late at that. "There’s no chance to be equal if a youngster isn’t taken along on occasion though," she pointed out. A small smile formed on her face, fleeting, gone just as quickly as it had appeared. "I couldn’t agree more, darling. Come on, let’s see if we can track her down."


Max | Alpha | F-Pack | Tagging: Cartel, Canary | Location: Camp


"Not to worry, Canary. You did nothing but follow orders." Max narrowed his eyes when Cartel spoke. "No." For as long as the Packs had stood, it had been simple. Warriors patrolled, fought, and defended, Hunters hunted. If someone wanted to do both, they became an All-Around. Max didn’t care how his Packmates perceived him for laying down law. In his reign, he’d done enough to command respect from most of the wolves as it was.

"It’s simple, you should know this. If you wanted to hunt as well as patrol, you should have become an All-Around. The duties must stay separated, in order for order to be maintained, and to keep the groups separate. There’s a fine balance. Report to Arian, but there will be no hunting unless you are to accompany a hunting party."


Toby | Hunter | L-Pack | Tagging: Roque | Location: Forest


Toby shivered as icy, frosty ground touched the sensitive paw pads once they had exited the relative warmth and safety of camp. Thick fur or not, he had never particularly been a fan of the cold. It was a part of life though, sadly. This was Roque's first winter too, the tail end of it, and he was determined not to be openly miserable about things and ruin it for her.

"Throwing down a cliff is exactly why I want to avoid rougher patches. I’ve seen too many wolves go down via cliff rather than battle," he admitted. "We'll keep an eye out for space though." He paused, slowly breathing out. He didn’t like answering that question, despite the fact it was a fair one. "We're at war, Roque. It’s been quiet recently, but war never rests. I don’t want to take any chances."

xXx Fire Pack - Warrior
@ Max, Canary
Max's response was no huge surprise to Cartel and he bowed his head respectfully. "My apologies, I only thought it would help with the lack of food lately." He admitted. He hadn't wanted to make the wrong impression to the alpha, had simply only wanted to aid the pack. "My apologies." Cartel added, admitting his mistake and owning up to it. He had been aware of the pack rules since taking his rank and understood it was not normal place for an Warrior to hunt, however the lack of current food had been a concern to Cartel.

He looked over to Canary, who also appeared irritated, which was understandable. He did however dislike her ordering him about, and he expressed that with a frown. Had it been the Lead Warrior or another higher ranking wolf, or one of those specifically requesting him, he would not had given such an expression. But considering how he had just gotten the wrong idea about the circumstances, he kept his mouth shut.

"Alpha, do you have any requests I can fulfil?" He asked ax as he got to his paws and the large male stretched in preparation for patrol. "And is there a way I can make amends for my mistake?" He additionally asked. "I understand that we have our positions and duties for a reason. This pack, and you as my Alpha, is my family and I would hate for anyone to judge my poorly." He confessed.

Louve

“Ah well that’ll be fun. Anyways, you guys enjoy your little chat. I’ve got patrols to attend to” she lied but as a warrior she WAS obligated to keep their back safe. She wanted to give those two time to talk, given that deep down she felt that she was a third wheel but she didn’t overly mind. They both deserved happiness and if this was their way to it, than she wouldn’t stand in their way. “Where is Leo?” She mumbled to herself.

Rain | Warrior trainee | L-Pack | Tagging: Open | Location: Camp
Rain woke up. She blinked her blue eyes and rolled into a patch of sunlight, letting the sun warm her fur up. Rain was aware that she had become more dreamy after her first battle and that she started thinking that perhaps peace was better than war. But, she did not let it take much of her mind, so it was mostly a nagging thought. Rain gathered herself up and moved towards the prey that she knew was there. Her coat was always neat and tidy, and even she didn't know how or why. She took a bird up and headed to look for Shadow or Fish. Either could do.

[rottingsnakes]

Thessadowes | Lightning Pack | All-Around | Location: Camp | Tagging: Smoke

Thessadowes glanced at wherever Smoke pointed, and saw this to be true. A lot of the wolves in the morning enjoyed chatting with packmates before the day got started, which wasn't too much of a problem. She liked doing the same thing, but felt itched more to get out the higher the sun rose.
"Makes sense," she agreed, "anyone who's available will be okay. Can't postpone this for too long." Thess finished, then frowned at the questionable thrush Smoke tugged from the little mound of leftover prey. She lowered her head and peered at the options, then wrinkled her snout slightly as she pulled out a twisted-looking gopher. Since it was early spring, it obviously wasn't bound to be a very plump one, but it just seemed the best out of what was left behind. Too bad she hadn't gotten up earlier.
"At any rate, I, personally, would like to leave as soon as possible." Thess chided, with a small smile at the Warrior. She didn't want to sound pushy, but she hadn't gotten out much yesterday and was itching to wander in the forest.
