Wolf Mountain [Semi lit] -OPEN-

[LoneWolf-Gage]

Mika smiled "As do I. Family, is not always blood after all." She told Grace as the other two came down the stairs. She saw the look of fear in Talon when Ari told him about Grace telling her part of their past. Seeing the look in the young boy' eyes Mikael's own held sorrow. To see such fear and pain in one so young, it made her more maternal nature show itself. That and the fact that she was already becoming protective of the three. She met Talon's gaze. "Talon, you and your sisters do not have to worry about anyone bringing harm to you here. I will not let them. Nor will Oliver." She stood and walked to the boy, lowered herself just enough to be eye level with him. "If you want to know something, ask me. I will never lie to any of you. I give you my word on that." She looked from Talon back to the girl as she stood. "As for Oliver, he isn't very picky." She told Grace referring to her question earlier about a snack for him. "Though I am sure Lucy has been giving him snacks all day." She said with a slight sigh. "Anyway. Aside from what you have, if you guy want to make a list of things you need or want. Including clothes, shoes, or what have you. We can see about getting them tomorrow. Sound good?" She asked the three.

[Since he hasn't responded I'm just gonna say that Feykir has left for now. I kinda need Triko to be active for a bit.]

Trike looked up from the box of herbs and elixirs that he was filling for a customer to pick up later. "How can I help you young lady?" He asked when the girl called out to him. He had already caught her sent the moment she had opened the door. "Your friend can come in if he wishes. So long as he doesn't knock anything over." He said referring to the dog she had left outside. It was odd for one such as them to have a pet. Though it was not rare. He continued to fill the box with the order as he waited for the young woman to speak.

[i know the feeling. I'm only just heading to bed myself. Gotta love 3rd shift...]

"How can I help you young lady?" Gaze having drifted around the shop in curiosity, the elderly voice caused her attention to snap towards the man she felt sound in assuming was the owner. Observing with brown eyes bright in interest as he tucked away various jars and containers into a box. Tilting her head slightly but letting her curiosity lay, her mouth opened to answer his earlier question only to click shut when he continued on to welcome her to let Chance in. Dipping her head in both acceptance and thanks, she stepped back to open the door. The shepherd's ears pricked, easily slipping inside with all the mild manners her swift warning glance had demanded. Letting the door shut gently behind her beloved companion, she followed him closer to the shop owner.

"Thank you, sir. You wouldn't happen to have anything to help against infection and inflammation, would you? Chance here thought it would be a wonderful idea to go pester a deer, and I'm afraid that went about as well as one might expect. Beg pardon..." Raising an arm to cover another sneeze, she absently pulled the thick chocolate locks closer to her face. Tilting her head slightly so the softer, more familiar scents could help drown out whatever herb had her nose burning so. Perhaps it was an allergy, since her canine companion didn't seem to be having any issues? Whatever the case, it was aggravating. She couldn't take a deep breath without sneezing. Letting her lips part slightly to breathe through her mouth, her eyes widened slightly and an mortified flush spread as she finally caught the tell-tale scent of wolf.

"Apologies, sir. This wasn't a planed stop... bracing for the moon... far as I can manage... Chance... hurt..." Words so low a whisper that even her companion had to strain to catch them, there wasn't any chance a human would grasp them if her theory proved incorrect. If he was a wolf though, it was certainly best to clarify why she was trespassing.

Talon breathed a sigh of relief. "We can do that. I know we have some clothes in our gear but I think they have about had it." he said with a sly smile then chuckled softly as he stepped closer to his siblings and added with a laugh "maybe a pink collar for Grace and a blue one for me with tags on them." He scampered backward just out of his older sister's reach as she swatted at him then laughed as she growled playfully "You know I HATE pink Talon. Green or purple are more my colors." she said as she laughed. "Now you to go get washed up I'm going to start dinner and maybe if we have the stuff I need I'll make either some cookies or maybe a nice strawberry peach pie for dessert." She said as she rose and walked over to wash the tears from her face. After her twins had gone up to get cleaned up she turned to Mika "please tell me you didnt take Talon serious about the dog collars.." She said with a half smile while the thoughts ran through her mind wondering what she was going to do with the new found freedom the chance to be a "normal" teen or as normal a teen as a young werewolf could be.

Triko looked to her with a slight smirk when she started sneezing. "I suppose those herbs would play with the senses of a fox child." He said with a small smile as he set another bottle in the box. He looked to the shepherd for a long moment before returning his gaze to the young woman when she started to explain her being there. "Calm down." He told her as his sharp eyes glanced around to be sure no one was listening in. "The village is neutral ground." He assured her. He turned and ran a hand over some of the bottles on the shelves that had been behind him. After scanning through them he pulled one from the shelf and turned back to her. The bottle had no labels on it. Just a small brown bottle. "This should do the trick without effecting anyone's senses." he told her. "Just be careful if you are to try your luck in the forest or mountain right now. The leader is on a bit of a war path with the second moon to be here in a few days." He told the young woman.

Mika smirked as she listened to Talon teasing his sister. She watched them run off up stairs and shook her head with a slight smile before turning to Grace. "Not at all." She assured her. She was a bit surprised that they had been as willing to admit what they were to her. Though part of Mika's mind knew the existence of such creatures was true and had for ages. She dismissed that as she looked out the window to the late afternoon sky. She would need to meet up with Lucy soon.

A small smirk came across Von's muzzle as he listened to her."No, there is something awaiting you there. Perhaps someone." He said quietly. He again looked to the little female. "Novak will not let you go before the full moon." He told her calmly. "Instead of getting hostile like you were before, listen." Vol spoke clear and careful unlike others in this pack. It was not hard to tell that this language was not his native tongue. His accent was a rough Romanian one though he often was able to mask it. "There has already been one full moon this month. This will be the second within the month. Not only the thunder moon but a blue one at that. It is enough to drive the most in control wolves mad. That is why no one will be out on full moon this time. Rather it is pack wolf or drifter. Those who favor their wolf form are more at risk to become blood thirsty and kill. We will all be well contained on this moon." He told her. His voice was calm, though it still held the bored tone to it his words were clear. "Letting you leave before then. It is much too risky for them." He added. The way Von spoke of this pack, never referring to it as his or their pack, always this pack or them, it often reminded those around him that he was not born to their pack and did not share in their customs well. He watched the female only a moment longer before again laying his head on his paws.

Rayne's eyes dipped down a bit as he guessed the small fraction of what she was doing. Yes, she needed to get over there for something, but instinct had her doing that, not because she knew of something. Rayne listened to him talk over the thunder and blue moon. "Yeah. I got that, thanks." She snapped. After a small, short breath, she calmed. "Why do you call your pack, them? Your part of the pack. You should call them your pack. At least you have one," came out as a silent mutter.

Mobile. Sorry---

[Kinkaid]

Kain smirked to her comment about his name. "Names after the father of a demonic arms." he muttered mostly to himself. He listened to her explanation and nodded before giving her a smile at the next question. "Well, I go fishing on some of the days that I don't have students. Or take Gin for a run." He said simply. "Hm, I probably don't have a very interesting life." he said with a slight chuckle. Though Kain did spend a lot of time at the library. "What about you? Aside from your 'girls night out'?" He asked.

[That might actually be interesting]

Von scoffed. "I was not born to this pack. I do not share in most of their values nor do I answer to any rank lower than alpha, Obviously." He said referring to the confrontation between Alec and himself. "If you are wanting to join a pack so badly I am sure Novak would accept you. After all, you had the guts to challenge him, knowing his rank." He said with a shrug as his head remained on his paws.

"Calm down." The stern command saw her frozen, nearly shrinking into herself as she watched him glance around like an old war veteran speaking of something more than just confidential. While it had the intended effect of halting her soft mumblings, it also saw her tense as a taunt bowstring. Did the humans around here really have such superb senses as to make out the hushed words she'd in part feared were too quiet even for the older wolf to catch? It was certainly a scary thought, and considering the elder was native to these lands and thus knew much more than she could ever hope to about them, she would defer to his judgment. It could never hurt to err on the side of caution, after all.

"The village is neutral ground." Blinking slightly, her nerves were somewhat soothed by the new thought that the eagle-eyed glances were for his own comment. It certainly hadn't been a barely there whisper of airy sound, and while a stranger might be explained away as madness, a respectable member of the community might not be able to escape with the explanation of having humored said stranger's madness. Especially if there was already reasonable doubt or suspicion to of sewn the seeds of chaos. Tension draining as her wild imagination's ponderings were quelled, and furthered settled by the information that she hadn't just accidently wandered into another wolf's territory, it was nevertheless worrying how close she'd come to doing just that. Not to mention that they were still to close for comfort, and with all things considered this detour was likely going to chew through more time than she'd planed- a concerning thought with the moon looming.

"This should do the trick without effecting anyone's senses. Just be careful if you are to try your luck in the forest or mountains right now. The leader is on a bit of a war path with the second moon to be here in a few days." Phantasmal feelings of flickering ears and a curling tail joined with a low worried whine as her distress abruptly spiked with this admission. Giving the mountain as wide a berth as was likely required would certainly cut into precious time. Time she couldn't really afford to waste. The ideal distance would probably have to be forgone in favor of having other preparations ready for the shift. No matter what direction she ran she wouldn't be able to ensure that much distance would be there as a safety net if she had to skirt the forest. She didn't want anyone to get hurt. She didn't want Chance to get hurt. Maybe she could track down a cave with a small opening and a big rock? Or perhaps one of the milder big game traps? She could probably hobble herself with Chance's help, but all but the unlikely first would see her vulnerable to attack, be it hunter, wolf, or some other predator. It wasn't really an attractive thought, but who knew what might happen in the worst case scenario otherwise?

"Thank you. What do I owe you?' Already rummaging through her doeskin purse for the necessary coin, her next question was a touch more hesitant. "And... any recommendations to weather the moon?" Glancing down as the fox-raised dog brushed against her legs, some of her tension fled even as her chocolate gaze shone bright with concerned love. They'd not yet spent three years together, and this would be the first blue moon spent with the troublesome pup. Both fox and wolf hadn't a problem with him on the rare full moon they commanded, but who knew how well it'd hold under the magnified lunar draw? He was too precious for her to risk.

[Roman'sGirl75]

Grace laughed a little then turned to the refrigerator and rummaged until she found some chicken breasts,ham and swiss cheese then crumbled up some bread for bread crumbs then fixed the chicken cordon blue and cleaned up that mess before peeling and cutting potatoes and putting them to boil for mashed potatoes. By the time that Ari and Talon had come back down she had most of dinner ready and the strawberry peach pie was in the oven. "Ari would you mind setting the table please?" Grace asked her sister with a sigh. Talon gave a low growl before saying softly, "does that mean I have to say the blessing?" he had a look on his face that almost said he wished he didnt have to. Grace shook her head "no it means you get to do the dishes tonight. I'll say the blessing." she said with the typical teenager's roll of her eyes "Are you sure you can handle having two teenage wolves and their human sister in your home when we bicker like this?" she teased Mika playfully as she placed the serving dishes of food on the table after Ari had set the table and gotten everyone something to drink. The triplets took their places at the table and once Mika had joined them, Grace said the blessing and they began to pass the food around the table. "I hope that you enjoy the meal." Grace said with a weary smile.

[LoneWolf-Gage]

Triko shook his head. "You owe me nothing this time around." He told her with a small smile. He thought for a moment. "Well, our lot usually rides one like this out in the Labyrinth. So long as you are brought there by a member of the pack to weather the moon rather than just trespassing you will not be harmed." He told her. "That would be the safest bet around here." He added. The pack had used that system for ages. The old city of stone far beneath the village and the mountain. One could get lost easily if they did not know it. It was why they used it. Should one take off down a tunnel in a blind lunar rage they would never reach the village nor harm themselves trying. Though once they regained their senses after the moon they would be able to re-track their way out.

Mika smirked. "Oh, I think I can handle it." She told her. "It's actually kinda nice to have laughter and bickering around again. It has been a long time since... I have lived with anyone aside from Oliver." She admitted thought she had changed what she was going to say at first. She sat down with them as they said their blessing and passed the food around. Mika, in turn, made her plate. "It looks great. Like I said I'm not a picky eater. Or a very good cook for that matter." she told Grace though she muttered the last bit.

[Roman'sGirl75]

Grace laughed and said with a grin," Ari is a good cook too so we can switch back and forth and we can help teach you." Ari laughed and winked her own grey eyes twinkled softly "I know that Grace told you that her and Talon are wolves but you should see how pretty they are. Grace's fur is the color of smoke but her underbelly is a light grey almost white. Talon is a darker grey on top with a smokey grey underbelly. Their eyes are a silvery blue grey." Talon shook his head, "Grace is pretty that is for sure but dont let her small size fool you. We may be pups but Grace is quick and she is tough. She loves to make sure that we are safe and protected I guess we figure that its her job as the oldest. " For Grace it was touching to hear Talon's words and she reached out to ruffle her brother's hair "Thanks Tal I love you too little brother." she said before she took a bite of the potatoes. Somehow for her it seemed that the food tasted sweeter since they were finally safe.
