War of the Wolves [Roleplay Area]

[sunhorsestar]

(Just very quick, IcyKyrstal, I’d like to note wolves don’t have claws that sheathe and unsheathe like a cat's, they’re more like blunt nails than anything.)


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


Fish didn’t block, didn’t try to dodge. There would be time for that lesson later. Rain was so small in comparison to her though. It would have to be done carefully, and for now, the best way to train her was to observe and help her sort out her fighting form. "Next time, when you’re faced with an opponent more than twice your size, wait until you get closer to jump. As you jump early, you lose height as you go, which does you no favours and leaves you vulnerable," she warned. "If I’d wanted to, at that height, it would’ve been all too easy for me to have knocked you aside."


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


It was certainly an odd thought, and yet, somehow soothing to know that she really HAD known Erle almost her whole life, and didn’t just wonder about if he’d been there before her active memory formed. Now Arian smiled at the wording. She reached up to brush his shoulder, for that was as high as she could reach on her own, a brief, affectionate gesture. "Don’t worry. I’m not trying to accuse you of anything. It was simply a wondering on my end. If your heart is warm around me, then that’s what’s important. Though I suppose my being beautiful doesn’t hurt either." Was Arian a bit vain? Okay, maybe. But she figured that with the care she put into herself— including her appearance— she was entitled to an offhand comment every now and then. "Well as fate or luck or whatever you wish to call it would have it…it's not some unrequited love," she agreed.


Leo | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Lucas | Location: Camp


Leo's formerly goofy and bright expression dimmed. Lucas' voice seemed void of hope that they would see the end of it. The idea of living their ENTIRE lives fighting though…it didn’t feel right. He wouldn’t oppose his mother, should she feel this was right, but that didn’t make it hurt any less. "Warriors wouldn’t be any less needed to help KEEP the peace, and the protect the Packs from outside threats though, right?" Leo tilted his head to the side. "Oak left with Nadia and Karter not too long ago, but sure! Anything to get out of camp for a bit."


Shadow | Alpha | L-Pack | Tagging: Ambrose | Location: Camp


"Oh look at me, Ambrose." A glimmer of amusement shone in her eyes though. "I’m not the thinnest wolf in the world, and we're in the good hunting season. You don’t need to worry yourself over me. It’s nice to know you care, though." Shadow was a fully capable wolf, a fine Warrior before she had been Alpha. She could take care of herself, she knew what she was doing…and she also knew that Ambrose knew it as well as she did, but would still not stand down. He would stand by her, and truly, she appreciated it. Watching the gentle prompting of play, it took Shadow a moment. She’d seen Leo play like that though. She understood. Did grown wolves play? Much less in the middle of a war? I suppose it keeps morale high, which can’t be a bad thing. So she finally surrendered, standing and gently nipping the Beta's ear before giving chase to her companion.

Rain | Warrior Trainee| L-Pack | Tagging:Fish | Location: Camp
Rain shot up to attention after landing and nodded, assuring Fish that she understood.

[QueerChaos]

Grief | Healer | F-Pack | Location: Camp
Grief lay on the ground, calmly looking around the camp.

Nadia- f- 4 y- Lightning All Around- crush: all 5 brothers (Ambrose and co)- mate open- pups: not born yet (12-14 days pregnant)- Tags: Karter and Oak

The sweet and gentle but stubborn and sometimes hard headed she wolf nodded. The beautiful lighter tan she wolf twitched black lined ears. Amber eyes looked between the males. She said “I think that’s a good idea, Oak.”

Elian- genderfluid- 6 months- Lightning all around trainee- crush is Kotori- too young- too young- Trainer: Saffron- Tags: Saffron and Grant

The kind and caring but shy and nervous black one nodded to their trainer. S/he said “I’ll keep an eye and ear out. Erm…I’ll keep my nose working too,” they said. They weren’t sure that was the right way to put it…but they said it anyway. They hummed a quiet canine sound as they followed her. They weren’t smelling anything yet, but there was still time.

Mayuri- agender (f)- 5 y- Lightning hunter- Masa is cousin- pan and open- open- no pups- Tags: Akita

The flirtatious and playful but fire disliking one hummed a canine sound. The brown wolf with brown eyes made a small sound. They said “As long as you can do your job, yes. You may be clumsy or crazy, or anything else, but you’re a warrior. Clearly you completed your training and did it well. So yes, I’d like you to go with me.”


Oriole- genderfluid- 6 months- Fire all around trainee- Basil is their aunt- Bi maybe poly; Jay- too young- too young- Trainer: Stryker- Tags: Stryker and Talon

The playful and loyal but fiery and stubborn one smiled at Talon and Stryker. The pretty chocolate one, with a white muzzle and chest patch, hummed.

They sighed and waited for Talon to go get his trainee and bring him back. They were ready to start the training.

Ami- agender (m)- 6 months- Fire Hunter trainee- Apollo is crush- too young- has to adopt or have surrogate- Trainer: Mercy- Tags: Mercy

The happy and lucky but hard headed and sometimes loud one nodded. The black nosed dark gray one trotted back to the center of camp.

Arla- f- 4 y- Fire Warrior- crush will be Pandora- mate: hopefully Pandora- pups: pregnant (49 days)- Tags: Pandora

The honest and trustworthy but sometimes cold and cruel one hummed a canine sound. The beautiful gray wolf turned amber eyes to the she wolf. She’d heard her yelp, happily. Well, she’d yelped a good morning, but anyway. She shook her head a bit as she looked at her. “I’ve still got a week or two left until I have to go in the nursery. They probably want me to wait until a couple days before that to do my nest. The pups are very active though,” she said.

Masamune (call him Masa or Mune)- m- 3 y- Fire hunter- Mayuri is cousin- Bi and open- open- no pups- Tags: Hati and others

The story loving but cold one hummed a canine sound then followed. The black furred and brown eyed one sniffed a bit.

Spark/Pup/L-pack/Location: Nursery/Tagging: n/a

Asleep

Canary/Warrior/F-pack/Location: Camp/Tagging: Open

Canary was already awake and outside, waiting for the other wolves to eat

Sandie/Den Mother/L-pack/Location: Nursery/Tagging: Open

She looked over at the rabbit, and starts to eat

Jay/All rounded Trainee/F-pack/Location: Trainee Den/Tagging: Enui, Oriole

They perked up happily "of course I'm being trained by one of the best, it's why you're the Beta" they say, they stand up, puts their nose up in the air, and sniffed. They looked back down and looked at their mentor "about 16 give or take" they say

Terra/Healer/L-pack/Location: Entrance to Healers den/Tagging: Blizzard, Rowan

She took a breath in, sighed out and relaxed "it is be very personal" she says calmly

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


"Okay, can you try again for me using that tactic?" Fish prompted. She didn’t lower herself as was her urge to. The young she-wolf had to learn how to do these things. A Fire wolf wasn’t simply going to lay down and give themselves up in the middle of a real battle, after all!


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


"Of course it pleased me. The softness of compliments may be more prominent in those soft-hearted Lightning wolves, but one here and there…I can appreciate it. It means all the more coming from you," Arian admitted, looking up at him briefly before rounding the bend along the border. What happens now? That wasn’t a question she’d imagined she’d be asked today— or ever, really— in such a context. "I…" she trailed off, amber eyes turning to the ground. "I don’t know," she admitted. She hated not knowing ANYTHING, really, but matters of the heart were difficult to navigate. "Erle, when you told me, what were you hoping would happen?" That was what she wanted to know. What had his intentions or thoughts been in saying something?

Rowan | Lightning Healer Trainee | Location: Healers Den | Tagging: Terra, Blizzard

Rowan tilted his head from one side to the other, confusion clear in his expression.
"Personal?" He echoed. What was wrong with personal questions? Wasn't that how he got to know other wolves better, through personal questions. "Well... okay. I won't ask personal questions if you don't want me to, Healer." He said, hoping that his tossing in her title rank would make her less likely to bark at him again. Instead, he turned his attention back to Blizzard and asked what he hoped wasn't a personal question, so much as a general statement.

"If you've never killed any wolf before, even when you're a warrior and we're in the middle of a war, you aren't very good at your job." He announced to the older warrior, before looking at Terra with a large, hopeful grin. Surely she'd be proud of him, as he didn't ask any weird questions this time, right?

[belloblossom]

Enui | Fire Beta | Location: Camp | Tagging: Jay

Enui frowned a little when Jay ignored one of the biggest points of her request.
"We'll do the exercise again, with you closing your eyes this time." She pointed out. "Which wolves are the closest to us? Think about how you're able to distinguish one wolf from another. What makes a male scent different from that of a female's? Do you think different ranks might have different scents on them? How would you be able to distinguish friend from foe, at a moment's notice, if you couldn't see them?" She prompted her trainee, tossing questions at them with ease.

[belloblossom]

Saffron | Lightning All-Around | Location: Forest | Tagging: Elian

Saffron smiled at Elian and inclined her head to her trainee to indicate that she'd heard and understood the younger wolf, before she continued to move on ahead. It wouldn't be a long trek to the river, but anything that they might be able to find on the route, whether it be anything as small as mouse or as large as... well, if it was anything like a deer, they'd have to let it pass. Only hunters could go after the large prey, but they'd be able to report it back to Toby when they returned to the camp, if they came across any such scent. All-Arounds were given the basic training and since there were so few of them, they typically did solo hunts for small prey. Anything bigger than a turkey could prove dangerous to try and engage alone.

So, she continued ever forth, keeping her ears pricked and her nose to the ground, trying to pick up any scents. Summer was a good month for prey, especially in this weather, because more prey would journey closer to the river borders to drink. They didn't often remain there, given the heavy wolf scent on either side of the river, but every animal needed to drink and so they'd surely come around sooner or later. Hopefully Saffron and Elian would be able to get some good training in as well as bringing home something for the pack.
