Bear brightened even more when he heard Alekzander. He felt terrible. All his attention had been focused on Star, he barely noticed Alekzander. He got up and trotted after Aleksander, flicking his tail for Haunted to follow. "Um, Alleksander? I'm sorry for not saying hello, I was just absorbed in Butiun." Bear paused, knowing it was obvious, but still reluctant to say it. "I-I kind of like her." He whispered. "So I'm sorry for treating you poorly for my foolishness." The lead fighter dipped his head, and trotted back to the group. He turned to Mia, who had spoken. Bear smiled, one ear flopping to one side. "I don't think you sound dumb. I think you sound unique. You're your own wolf. Be proud!" Haunted rolled his eyes, mumbling on about how cheerful Bear was.

Suwanee could tell she had irked the alpha, but in her mind, he needed it. She watched with knowing patience, awaiting her punishment. Every so often the thought of challenging her alpha would cross her mind, just to see what would happen, but in truth she would never really do it. The idea was tempting though, and that was why she sometimes overstepped the boundaries; to test him. But, the punishment never came. Alek appeared and started speaking of a trial for the new she-wolf. Suwanee quite disliked the brute, but his idea was not half bad. Her ears swiveled slightly when she heard Magdelena ask for something for pain and she gave the slightest nod to let the omega know she had heard her. But, her main focus was on this trial idea coming from Alek. She glanced at the young she-wolf and sighed silently. She would have to pass all three trials. Suwanee hoped the newcomer could do it. Otherwise, there would most likely be pain or suffering. Or both.
When Marrak spoke to her, she raised her eyes to his and wondered if he would ever get around to punishing her for crossing the line. But before anyone could tell what she was thinking about, she turned and trotted toward Magdelena, not even answering the alpha's words. Someday, she would get through that wall he put up.
"Magdelena darling, lets go get you some Feverfew from the den, alright?" she spoke kindly, smiling and motioning toward the healers' den.

Winter

Age: Almost five
Gender: Female
Rank: Loner
Crush: Orion
Tagged: Orion, Marrak

Winter nodded politely to acknowledge Marrak. The thought of having her abilities tested made her nervous. Hunting would be easy, she was made for hunting. Except, maybe her sense of smell wasn't to great and she could only focus on one scent at a time. Her knowledge on healing was excellent, she knew all about that. Poisons, herbs, stopping bleeding, all of that. It was fighting that made her nervous. Will I be fighting Orion? she glances down at her paws that Aleksandre had commented on. Winter didn't know what to do, she was supposed to look weak.

But there is no other choice now. Dipping her head she responds to the alpha, "of course, it is only fair. I will not disappoint you." Her voice is clear but not shaky, and it took all of her efforts for it to come out that way. She tries to think of consequences Death? That would be terrible, I hope it's not death. Banished from the territory? That was better then dying but... With her head still down she looks at Orion for a moment, but then looks back. It was better then death. Maybe it wouldn't be either of those things, maybe she would be an omega, that would probably be better then healer. Except if she demonstrated strength and speed it wouldn't really work out.

Orion watched Marrak's tension and anger building up at the Lead Healer, Suwanee, as she asked his opinion about Winter becoming a healer. Even though he didn't exactly agree with her, he really wanted to avoid the Alpha harming her, she was a good healer and it wouldn't be fair to hurt her. Then Aleksandr came, and he felt relieved as he seemed to stop the Alpha. He listened to him introducing himself to the newcomer, and it took a lot of effort to prevent himself from rolling his eyes at the Beta. To him, it was probably just another female to flirt with. When he scolded him for bringing the loner back to the camp caked with dirt, he pinned his eara back to his skull and dipped his head in apology, looking down at his own paws, which were not squeaky clean either. "Sorry, Beta," he murmured quietly, just loud enough for Alek and wolves nearby to hear. He wanted to say that he wanted to make sure she did not run off while bringing her here, however he did not want to make the petite brute even more frustrated, and besides, he wasn't paying attention to him anymore anyway, and now was talking to the dirty fae again. Having white fur it was hard to keep it perfectly clean, and he wondered how he kept his fur so white all the time, but then again he spent a lot of his time at the camp, not in the forest like hunters and fighters did. In honesty, Orion was not too bothered about being neat as long as it wasn't too noticeable and filthy.

He was quite surprised and shocked at the fact that Alek was concerned of the fact that they would have to accept another fae that would come into season soon, he thought that he would be eager about that. He was a very flirty male and everyone knew that, though in a way he could understand. It was likely that at least a few of them got pregnant, and that would result in pups, and the more females in season there was the more pups there would be, and then they wouldn't be able to do their duties for a while. Then came the suggestion of doing trials for Winter, and he felt his heart stop for a split second as Marrak thought about it. When he agreed and assigned him to be in charge of the fighting trial, he felt slightly better. He could control that, at least, and he could make it to be in Winter's favours as much as possible. He knew he couldn't make it extremely easy, but he wouldn't make it too hard either. He nodded as he was told he had to watch her. Maybe they could practice some of the skills she would need in order to pass the tests... His knowledge of herbs was not the best, he knew the basics in case he needed them while fighting, and he was okay at hunting, he could kill the prey with ease but he was quite slow at chasing which brought him down. One thing he knew was that he could help her with fighting, and hopefully it would help her.

When Marrak gave her the name of Winter, he flickered his tail, thinking of how much he hated the winter season. Slippery underfoot, near to no prey, dull colours and freezing weather. Hopefully he wouldn't hate this winter, and he already took a liking to the fae, so maybe it would be alright. He looked over at the fae, who looked thoughtful and nervous, probably worrying about the trials that awaited her tomorrow. At this moment in time, she didn't look much like winter, with dirt and mud stuck to her fur, especially to her paws. It was probably pretty uncomfortable and itchy too, he thought, so he would firstly take her to the stream to wash it off. He looked back at Marrak, Alek and Suwanee. "Yes Alpha, I will watch her well and prepare the fighting trial. I will now take her to the stream," he replied, summing up everything he was in charge of. With a quick dip of his head to be respectful, he turned to her, and flicked his tail towards the forest where the stream was located, indicating they were going that way. Since he had to watch her, he guessed there would be no calm star gazing tonight, and he would have to spend the night outside, probably not getting much sleep, but then again he hardly ever did anyway, the sky took away a lot of his hours of sleep.

.:I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds
It takes more than I have, pick fights with the past, I always lose
Oh, don't you know? That's no way to live!
I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds

I get it, give me a little credit!
I remember when I was that pathetic
Wear my scars on my sleeve, for all the world to see
Like look what they did to me quick, lay on the sympathy thick!
You probably have the right to feel how you do..."

Magdalena was, as usual, unaware of how close she was to pushing her leader over. Her next mindless comment probably would have had some consequences, but that's when Suwanee came to save the day, the distraction causing Magdalena to become quiet so she could hear the healer's words. Afterwards she even smiled and greeted her! Magdalena returned the smile with a huge grin, tail wagging in delight at her appearance. "Good morning Suwanee! And don't worry, Marrak is making sure that we'll have plenty of rabbits to eat!" she greeted and reassured her with a confident silly nod of her head. Magdalena was greatly fond of the healers and Suwanee was no exception with that statement. Magdalena often visited them for checkups. Having your face and leg messed up entitles you to that. First off she has to often get her ear checked. A wolf's ear has many wonders, the fact that it's designed to catch sound and protect the sound hole from bacteria are a couple of them. So the healers have to make sure nothing bad is forming in the hole were her ear once was. Next off Magdalena constantly has to worry about infection, specifically forming around the eye socket that once held her right eye, it's not hard for white blood cells to get trapped and die around there in an attempt to heal or clean the area. So she sees the healers to check for or clear any beginning infection around the eye socket. And finally, on cold days like these the arthritis in her messed up leg can be tremendously painful for her, so she needs something that helps relieve the pain. It sucks but hey, what can ya do?

Marrak then spoke back a response to Suwanee, answering Magdalena with a response and look at the end that made her ear droop. "Awww, but Marrak, you're the alpha. Can't you make it rain rabbits or something?" she whined, not making it very clear if she was being actually serious with that question. However, the turn of his head distracted Magdalena from the precious tragedy of her dear alpha not manipulating nature to create a rain storm of rabbits. She followed his gaze and saw a female she did not recognize. A new wolf?! She stared in awe, her curiosity strong. She had many questions as she watched Marrak get up and headed over to the new wolf. Upon his departure Magdalena turned back to Suwanee, eye bright with excitement. "I wonder who she is?!" she shared her curiosity with the healer, the omega than became a bit wiggly but quickly went still as the pain she had been ignoring up to this point made itself determined to be the focus of attention. She gave the brown female a sheepish smile as she spoke again "Um...Suwanee, when you have time, will you give me something for pain? My leg is a little sore, sorry." she apologized with a bashful laugh. She really was thankful for healers like Suwanee for existing. Despite her intense appreciation of them though, Magdalena couldn't help but feel like she was getting slapped in the face each time she was helped by them. Thomas was a healer too before he gave it up to live out her dream for her. Oh how she was a fool, if only she could have learn to appreciate healers earlier in her life instead of seeing violence as the only answer. Maybe everything would have been different... Magdalena would probably try and aim to become a healer for this pack if memories of Thomas and her own disappointing faults didn't become so vivid whenever the small of medical plants hit her nose. Also there was the fact of how she hated sitting still.

Making up her mind, Magdalena headed towards the group of wolves that contained Aleksandr and company, calling to Suwanee from behind her shoulder "I'm gonna go figure out who that stranger is but morning greetings are important too, so that comes first! Lets greet the others, Suwanee!" she said and limped to the other wolves without looking back to see if Suwanee was following. That was one of the many problems with Magdalena, she'll ask one thing than quickly forget it to do another thing instead. Her priorities were quite questionable. While limping over there she made sure to bump into Saifali who was sitting off by himself, something that wasn't unusual. She headbutted his shoulder "Come on, come on, let's greet the others, Saif!" she ushered him, apparently satisfied with that being the morning greeting she was to give him. It was like this most days too. Saifali was a three-legged omega born without a leg thanks to fate, and Magdalena was tempted to call him her best friend in this pack. He was gentle and mellow, she was loud and rambunctious. Opposites who both possessed huge hearts. Magdalena felt bad for him, at least she had been able to experience what it was like to have all her legs in normal condition. He never got to experience that, actually he seemed sheltered in general. So often Magdalena found herself pushing him to try new things as well as to be a bit more adventurous in nature. To sum it all up, she liked dragging him into trouble with her. He reminded her of someone...

She continued with her destination, now leaving behind both Suwanee and Saifali to follow or to just do their own thing. Before she reached the group, Aleksandr left to join Marrak, oh well, she already talked to him anyways and plus they were gonna share food later anyways so here was no need to speak to the beta again at this current moment. Upbeat, she approached Star, Mia, Bear, and Haunted. "Good morning everyone!!! I wonder who that stranger over there is!" she greeted and commented with the biggest smile ever. Remembering that she was mainly surrounded by fighters she asked the one question she asked almost every day. "Are any of you guys practicing sparring later today???" Magdalena loved watching the fighters practice, it was the only time she would ever be quiet and still. She always wanted to give them advise or ask them to teach her some of the techniques they used that she never could have come up with in a million years, but yet she remained quiet, satisfied with observing them. She hoped they would, oh that would be so cool if they did!

((No, no everyone, I'm fine! I just became, how you say, very malnourished from all the throwing up I did. I'm okay, I just need to take it easy. Thank you for understanding though, you're all so awesome buhfedhyuh

Que Aleksandr making plot and endless chatter that requires far too much color coding
Que Magdalena's ADHD
Que Magenta's emoness
Que Malba being a stud

The large brute took his paw and backhanded him across the camp.

I just want to point out that this is probably the best/my favorite quote to have ever appeared in an animal rp.))

((Let's stir up some trouble or something! Wheeee!))

After a quick tussle in the Omega Den, Magdalena bounded out with Marrak the grumpy Alpha. Saifali chuckled. This happened at least once a week, more in the fall and winter, when the sun took longer to rise and the dens felt nice and warm. Marrak seemed to think this was the ultimate crime, but Magdalena shrugged it off easy. She was kinda oblivious to anger, which helped a lot when you were an Omega from another pack.

She left to see the Healer Suwanee, then came back and head butted Saifali in his good shoulder. He grinned, "Hey Mags." He followed her toward the new recruit, a she-wolf getting interrogated by Marrak.

Rank: Loner
Crush: Orion
Tagged: Orion, Marrak

Winter nervously looks up at the sky, she was screwed, and her plan already had some faults before it even hardly began. She had expected some obstacles but not this kind of obstacle. She looks over at Orion again, and notices him motion for her to go, and she gets up, politely dipping her head to Marrak then standing beside Orion. Even if Marrak was stern and wanted her to go through testing, she knew there was always some way for her to get around it. If she passed the test, everything would go smoothly, right after she forces herself into forgetting her feelings. If she does not pass, there would be no chances taken. Winter would run far away and not look back, if there was a possibility that she could be killed there would be no sticking around or respectfully bowing her head to the alpha.

But that would be the hardest part, running away. These wolves knew their way around the territory, they were strong in numbers, and Marrak probably wouldn't just let her go if she made it half-way and was no longer a threat. Winter turns to Orion, signalling that she was ready to get moving and get the stupid mud off her paws. She makes her way in the direction of the stream, taking short and careful steps. Who will be judging the assessments? she thinks to herself nervously. I hope Aleksandre gets no say in it..... Will I fight Orion or someone else?.... Will Orion show me any fighting moves? Winter hoped that Orion would. Anything that Orion taught her she could use in the assessment, then say she only knew it because of Orion. That shouldn't make me too much of a strong wolf, just a fast learner who pays close attention and will make a good addition to the pack.

» After Zero had taken her leave, Soot had just kind of stayed there watching everything happen. He watched the beta, delta and alpha as they moved around, he watched the fighters and hunters do the same but of course not having the authority those three ranks possessed. Today, he wasn't in much of an active mood and was planning to just lay around until they needed his assistance, after all it's not like they had someone to fight right now.

» Listened closely to the brute's instructions and then nodded before taking her leave. As soon as she left the cluster of wolves which had now formed around Aleksandr she sighed with relief, she had always hated being enclosed and surrounded. Recalling the beta's tasks which she had just received, Breeze looked around and spotted the loner which seemed to be perking interest here and there. She frowned inwardly as she noted that yet again she would have to be with many wolves. Heading on over, Breeze listened closely to all the conversations which mentioned this newcomer. It seemed like Marrack was going to let her stay, much to Breeze's surprise. She soon lost interest in this new wolf and since she was sure everything was fine in that area of her job she set about doing task number two. This would be interesting, she was to gather up two fighters and go out, but who?

Orion waited until the fae started walking first, so that he could have more control over her actions like he did when bringing her here. Really, he only did that until they were fully out of sight and hidden by the trees, and then he did two quicker steps so that he was side by side with her, but he left a gap between them. For a while they walked in silence again, as he was thinking of what to do. Even though she was just a loner that hunted on their territory and got caught, there was something about her that made him care about her and he did not want anything bad happen to her. That will be hard with an Alpha like Marrak, he thought, showing the tips of his white teeth in a small snarl. He didn't like Marrak, you could say he hated him at times, he was so rough and showed no emotion whatsoever, you could save the whole pack and not get a single thank you or reward apart from not getting killed. What sort of feedback was that? He chose to not show any sign of it though, rather just kept his mouth as shut as he could around him and showed respect, that seemed to keep the higher ranks content.

His thoughts wandered to the fighting trial he had to prepare. He didn't really know how to go about it, he guessed for fighting they would like to have a show of power, dodges and different tactics and techniques that build up an excellent fighter. Looking over at her, he wondered how strong she really was. She did not try to knock him off when he pinned her down, and she always acted weak in front of everyone, including him, but he wondered if that was her true self, because she had to be strong enough to live the life of a loner. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but then he forgot how to word the question so he looked away. I can't just ask her how strong she is, the definition of strong varies from wolf to wolf. "Winter, what is your fighting like?" Orion asked. At first he thought this would be a better question, however now he realised it probably was as bad as the first one. Too late now, he already said it.

Winter

Age: Almost five

Rank: Loner
Crush: Orion
Tagged: Orion

Winter walks alongside Orion as they disappear into the trees. She didn't know what to say to him, and awkwardly stumble over a root of a tree. Usually she was agile and fast, she couldn't remember the last time that she had tripped. Probably only because it hadn't mattered at that time, at that time she had no one to impress.

Winter blushes a little bit, hoping Orion hadn't seen that slip-up. She hears his voice and listens to his question. The loner didn't quite know how to answer something like that. She had the build of a hunter, but slightly smaller. The structure she had allowed her to make fast movements, and her claws were sharp like any other wolves scratch. Winter answers his question, slowing down the pace of her pawsteps. "Well, obviously I'm not the best fighter, I am small and it's hard for me to tackle or pin a wolf down. But I'm fast, and can move in and out fairly quickly without getting hit. I have picked up on a lot of fighting tactics that I can use to my advantage, so I think I'm decent at fighting."

That seemed convincing enough to her. "Oh, and I can take a lot of hits despite my size, as hard to believe as that may seem." Winter turns away from Orion for a moment and looks ahead, it didn't need to be convincing. Without realizing it she had told the truth, and for once she was happy with it.

Orion noticed her stumble over the root if a tree, however decided against reacting in any way, sensing that she might find it embarrassing. Instead he just walked on, looking ahead, as if nothing happened. Quietly, he listened to her answer to the question, and he thought of ways she could use her speed. Yes, she could use her agility a lot in the trials, however dodging attacks wouldn't get her too far, she would need to bite and hit to make it. With those abilities she would make an excellent huntress, and he wondered why she didn't choose to be one instead of a healer. The pack already had a few fast wolves, such as Lily and Magenta, and he wondered which of them was the fastest. Maybe they hunting trials will havea speed contest? He was certain she would do well in hunting. As for fighting, maybe he could make parts to it that showed off the different aspects that could impress whoever was judging the tests, he guessed it would be Marrak or Aleksandr. Dodging hits would be one of them, and even though she was not the strongest of wolves she could throw in quite a few bites and then withdraw before the other wolf could react, which would be useful too. Another part would be showing her tactics, and he would leave that up to her, as she said she was good at then, maybe he could show her some of his but nothing more than that. He felt a bit better after making that plan of the test, and he hoped it would be enough.

"I think that's good enough, we can try to show off your agility in the fighting trial and maybe they will be impressed by that, though I can't help but wonder why you chose to be a healer and not a hunter?" He asked, looking at her on the last bit. A healer was an amazing rank, however her build would be more suited for a hunter, and maybe Marrak would be more willing to accept her into the pack then.
