A Tale of Two Packs V2 (Play)

[sunhorsestar]

OOC: The thread was locked, so not to worry! Also @Mochi: Cole is a male
OOC2: Yeah, I’ve messaged Alpaca now and have not received a response, so as RPer owner, I say we continue without her for now, and help her jump back in when she’s ready.

IC:


TREY | Pup | F-Pack | Tagging: Peeta, Kinkajou, Roland | Location: Camp


"Wellllll then say something someday soon, before she decides once and for all she wants to be mates with Frost!" Trey reached up to gently lick Peeta's cheek. "I’m gonna go to sleep now, Arian's coming over, and she looks MAD..." He stole a glance towards the small mottled she-wolf, who had worry and fury burning in her amber eyes, even in the walk she stalked over towards the small group.


SIRA | Hunter | F-Pack | Tagging: Feluris | Location: Camp


Sira smiled tensely at this. She may not have had a ton of social skills in comparison to some wolves even within her own Pack, but as a liar herself- and proud- she knew how to tell a lie. She also knew when someone lied about something small, there was usually good reason behind it, and she did not wish to tempt fate. So for the time being, she just left it, dipping her head to the Warrior Trainee.

"And what has come of your training? I hear Mattias and Athena's Pups have arrived today, so I know he’s been busy the past couple of days preparing for that." It must be hard, the Huntress reflected, having a trainer who has to suddenly split focus, but it happened.


CODY | Den Mother | L-Pack | Tagging: Cole, Pups | Location: Camp


Cody looked down at her sleeping Pups, feeling bad. She had allowed Sandpiper to name her daughter, but neither of her sons yet had names. She had hoped her mate would’ve come by at some point. She had EXPECTED he would. He’d always been attentive to her...until the day their Pups were born. Perhaps with the Meet and all though, he was busy. Shadow had said she was taking him, but his scent was still prominent, and growing stronger. Peering outside, Cody saw the large brown and black Beta, and a smile came to her face. She slipped out of the nursery, just for a moment, calling out softly to the Beta as not to wake the sleeping Pups.

"Cole! Our sons and daughter have been born. Come meet them!" The light brown she-wolf urged him, her bluish green eyes lighting up as she spoke.


MATTIAS | Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Athena, Pups | Location: Nursery


"I know." Mattias could see it in Athena's eyes. Was she afraid when he left he wouldn’t return for a long time? No. That wouldn’t happen. He would leave to do his duties, as was commanded, then he would return at once. He would sleep next to her if the other wolves of the nursery and the Alpha allowed it. He had not known of a male sleeping regularly in the nursery after he had become a Trainee though.

"I wish for that too. We both know that isn’t how it works. You have the nurse the Pups, and I have to do work here to earn our keep, but I hope they’ll allow me to lay next to you at night here, if you so wish it," Mattias added after a long moment, his voice soft and quiet.


ENNA | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Angel | Location: Camp


Enna considered that though. A single relationship seemed complicated enough though. She had seen what had happened with Mick and Blizzard, who kept falling apart, again and again! Then to add another wolf doubled that, and if more and more wolves were added, it only increased the challenges, but it was a nice thought. Hard to fathom to the golden Warrior, who had never once had a romance of her own, however. She barely had friends, much less a relationship! So the question had quite caught her off-guard, but she just dipped her head as the white-grey wolf excused himself to go speak with the worried Riley. She had dodged answering a rather awkward question, which was good, as she hadn’t been sure whether he had been joking or if he was actually being serious.

Enna fixed her blue eyes ahead and watched from where she sat as Angel approached Riley in inquire who was the father of her newborn Pups. Oh no...she’s gonna start crying again... Enna rose to her feet again and quickly retreated towards the prey pile as to no longer eavesdrop. She had not been asked to join them, and it seemed a private enough conversation, so she would leave them to it.


KARTER | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Three-Foot, Storm | Location: Border


"I ACCUSE because I KNOW," Karter snapped back. He was breathing heavily now, crouching down, every muscle tensed. He’d hoped to slip past a guard, see if he could find June's scent, check on Storm if she wasn’t at the Meet, and be gone before the wolves got back home. By now, no doubt Ash had already noticed his absence, since he had been left in charge of the camp in the Alpha's absence.

Karter's pale gaze shifted towards the wolf who had saved him from being choked. He himself was a Warrior, but he wasn’t built for strength. It was dark to see properly in the darkness, but that voice, that scent, and that grey pelt...was his luck really that good? "Storm?" He asked.

His heart twisted when he saw her. He’d spoken to Aala before, the first wolf he had ever told about his feelings for Storm, when he and Aala were first considering taking their relationship beyond just idle flirting, and she’d tried to soothe his nerves. He’d become mates with her a month later, and now they had a family. He convinced himself day in, day out, that Aala was the only one. That he was over Storm. She was in another Pack and had left willingly. When he’d offered to come with, she said she needed to find her sister on her own, and see if she could bring her home. He thought that was all over, and he would one day look upon her again and see only his best friend, not the first wolf he’d ever loved. But when his eyes fell upon her, seeing her lithe form, the gleam in her eyes, hearing her voice, even as she growled at him, a lump formed in his throat, his heart seemed to stop for a moment, and for a long moment, it felt as if he couldn’t breathe.

That fire. That willingness to do whatever she needed to for her own goals, her being her own wolf, not conforming to anyone else's standards...it was why he had loved her in the first place. Although time and distance had separated them, clearly, she had not lost that. Yet here he was, staring at the first wolf he’d ever loved, and if and when she asked his business there, he would have the INCREDIBLY awkward task of explaining he was here for his daughter. Not that he expected Storm had ever loved him. They’d been close just as best friends! Of course, what Aala said...Leo and Sandpiper were too, and EVERYONE is pretty sure they’ll be mates someday.

"I didn’t come here to cause trouble. I came here to do what I promised Aala I would." His eyes turned again on his friend. "Storm... I..." Karter's voice trailed off, and he wasn’t sure whether to flee while he could to avoid an awkward situation, and try again later, or when to come forward and greet her properly, so he just stood there for the longest time, debating this, which didn’t really get him anywhere.


SHADOW | Alpha | L-Pack | Tagging: Meet Wolves | Location: Meet Hollow


Shadow lifted her head to address the crowd once Toby's Tales had ended. "With the trading and storytelling parts of this Meet completed, I declare it is time for the games! Any wolf, of ANY rank, who wishes to partake in the sparring section of the night, come and join me. If we have enough volunteers, we shall have a tournament, that will consist of a round of ten minutes, and will be observed by Hunter Toby." She looked to Toby, who nodded in agreement. As a Hunter and as a wolf of peace, he had no wish to join in the fights.

Shadow lightly stepped into the center of the clearing, watching the gathered wolves. It’d be tough, pairing up matches, she reckoned. She wanted to try as well, but last time, she’d only fought against Ash, undoubtedly the most skillful Warrior of the lot of hers, and they had to call it a draw back then. It would be unfair for her to be paired one-on-one with anyone else. She suspected being both swift and strong, on top of her massive build by any standards, she would be able to overpower almost any wolf, and undoubtedly she would outdo any of the younger ones unless she went easy on someone, which was not something she particularly liked to do. Even in training, she had worked her Trainees as hard as she could. Going easy on someone was not the way Lina, her own trainer, had taught her.


ARIAN | Lead Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Peeta | Location: Camp


Arian has caught Roland's scent, but his pelt was dark, like his father's, and he had always been a relatively quiet Pup. It was hard to see him in the darkness, but his scent had been over here. When asked what was wrong, Arian took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice from shaking. She was the Lead Warrior. She had been carefully taught as a Trainee that fear was for the weak. The strongest wolves may feel fear, but never should they show it. That had been the teachings of her trainer, and she was no mere Warrior now.

"My youngest son, Roland, is missing," She declared, fixing her amber eyes on the Warrior Trainee. "You...You wouldn’t happen to know where he got himself off to, do you? I saw Trey head for the nursery, and as always, I expected they’d be together, but they... they were not."

Accalia
Lightning Pack | Healer | Location: Camp | Tagging: Arnou, Winter, Willow, Flame

Accalia shrugged. “No worries. I’m sure.. sure I can figure it out.” She wheezed, her lungs tightening for just a moment. The she-wolf gently picked the pup up by the scruff, struggling a little to stand up as her legs felt like wet sand. She nodded at the other wolves and started padding towards the Healer’s Den. She flicked a tail at Arnou, asking if she could come with.

He shuffled his paws as her gaze burned into her pelt. He replied, "No, I haven't."
Whoever plays Angel I replied to her question.

[sunhorsestar]

OOC: Bello does, and she’s not on right now. She works, and it’s still pretty early here.

ARIAN | Lead Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Peeta | Location: Camp


Arian's shoulders tensed and she shook her head. "He’s never gone missing before. Galaxy or Aru, I might expect a bit of sneaking around from THEM, but not Roland..." Despite her attempts at remaining as firm and strong as ever, that crumbled away, and her eyes betrayed her despair.

"If...If you see my son, can you either send him to me or let me know? He’s...Not usually the one to run off. He's still so small, even in comparison to his other siblings...If he was playing by the edge of camp, I’m worried a fox might’ve made off with him," She admitted.

Arian had no idea what had happened to Erle except that he hadn’t been seen in more than a month, so he couldn’t help find their son. He couldn’t even comfort her if she found out that WAS what had happened. She was a great tracker in general, but the scent of the Meet wolves were so strong she doubted she would be able to tell any one individual scent in the camp or by the entrance at this point. She would have to search tomorrow, and by tomorrow, if little Roland was wandering on his own assuming a fox HADN'T gotten him, Arian worried he may have gotten so far away that she wouldn’t be able to both track his scent AND catch up with him.

Arnou
Mobile

Arnou nodded and followed Accalia to the healer den. “ Accalia dear, please, just show me what he needs, and get some rest, you look dreadful and I bet your exausted.”

Peeta/male/1yr and8 months/Tags:Arian, Roland/F-pack/Location:Camp
He nodded and said, "Will do." He looked behind a bush and said, "Hey Roland, huurry, ur mom is looking for u." He thought, tonight. The flowers r perfect for her so I'm telling her tonight. Or maybe tomorrow or the next. Before I know it She will be off with Frost.

Angel - Tagging: Riley

Angel looked skeptically from Riley and the pups.
“That isn’t possible, Riley it takes two to have, well,” He tried to count to little success “many.” He finished with a shrug. “So likely you just don’t know who the father is, or maybe there are many.” He looked again at the pups, trying to decide who they looked like, before looking back at Riley.

“So, do you want to tell me why you’re crying so much, sweet wolf?”

Accalia
Lightning Pack | Healer | Location: Camp | Tagging: Arnou, Flame

Accalia inhaled a breath to argue, but decided heavily against it. She was in no fit state to fight with anyone, and she also had a pup in her mouth. The Healer silently slid into the Healer Den, casting a glance at Nova as she and her pups slept in the corner. She nodded at Arnou and set the pup down carefully in another nest, close to the storages of herbs. She sat and stared at the Pup for the longest of times, then shook her head vigorously and tried not to doze off. With a reasonably heavy sigh, she gently felt around Flame's head and placed an ear to his chest. "Regular breathing, no pulsing veins.." She murmured to herself. Accalia sat up and faced the other she-wolf, her eyes misted and unfocused. "Well, he hasn't burst a vein.. his heart is pumping as it should be, and no broken bones or fractured joints. I'd.. I'd say he just slipped and knocked on his skull, causing t-the brain to rattle around." She said in a mildly trained tone. "He'll be fine as long as he's kept warm, and.. and.." The Healer's voice faltered as she suddenly looked a little confused. What had she been saying?

ARIAN | Lead Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Peeta | Location: Camp


"Thank you, Peeta." Arian dipped her head towards the young Trainee. Then she turned and wearily trudged back towards the nursery, making sure all the others were there. Aru, Denae, Galaxy, Kioko, Naomi, Faith, Blaze...they’re all safe. Most of them were already asleep too. The only eyes she could see open, gleaming in the dimness of the den, were the dark cobalt eyes of the small Aru.

"It’s okay, Aru. Roland will be back soon, I’m sure. Go to sleep," She whispered, licking him between the ears. Then, as she did every night for the past couple of weeks since she’d resumed her duties, she departed again for the Warrior den, though try as she might, sleep would not come.


SHADOW | Alpha | L-Pack | Tagging: Meet Wolves | Location: Meet Hollow


Shadow smiled ever so faintly to herself as she watched Rue bouncing around, asking Alpha Striker if she could join in the upcoming sparring. "Young Rue, it’s an open sparring session. You don’t need permission to join in the festivities," She told her, voice soft but light.

Shadow scanned the group of wolves. Smoke had already sprung towards her, and Leo was approaching more cautiously, glancing back at Sandpiper as if asking for HER permission. Shadow nodded to her son, beckoning him forward. "Don’t be afraid, Leo. It’s only sparring."
