A Tale of Two Packs [Wolf RPG, Play!]

[sunhorsestar]

Kaden | Pup | L-Pack | Tagging: Qaniit, Lukina, Sorin | Location: Camp


Kaden giggled as Qaniit addressed them. The idea of Alpha or Beta was certainly appealing, but it wasn’t like that was something someone could just train for, or wouldn’t everybody? "You’re looking at what’ll be the best Warrior the Lightning Pack will ever see!" Kade boasted. He could do it! He knew he could! "I’ll have the best trainer and the best skills and I’ll fight the best battles and make everybody here proud to know me!"


Arian | Lead Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Canary, Archer, Kazimir | Location: Camp


Arian's eye was drawn by the familiar figure of her father approaching the prey pile, now dangerously low. Hopefully today would bring good luck for once and remedy that. "Father! Good morning." Arian was far from the soft and fuzzy type, she was a true Fire Warrior in every way, but for family…no, for her father, it was different. Enui was family too, Enui was her sister, but they had never truly been family in the same sense most siblings were. Kazimir had raised them both though, and in all honesty, for that, Arian owed him her life.

Lukina- f- 5 y 6 mo- Den mother; wants hunter- willing to be beta- trainee: X- Pan; Shadow- mate open- pups: Sorin plus two more- dad x mom and litter mates and others (not in RP)- Tags: Sorin/ Kaden, Qaniit

The pretty gray she wolf smiled a canine smile as she looked upon the pups. "You two be careful," she said to them. She then turned her golden gaze to the other adult. She nodded to Qaniit, saying "They're both growing so quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if they could become alpha or beta." When her son spoke, she nodded along to what he said. "Yeah, I want to be a hunter once I can get back to it. I don't know, Sorin, you might be able to be the beta one day, unless Kaden gets it."

Sorin- m- 2 mo- pup- willing to be beta when he's old enough (I didn't realize I could write that)- will have a trainee when older- will be homo; will be Kaden- male x Lukina, two siblings- Tags: Lukina/ Kaden, Qaniit

The smaller and slender black-phase pup bounced around a bit. "Yeah! Let's play! Go easy on me though," he said to Kaden. Kaden was a bit bigger than him. The white toed one figured that meant Kaden would be better at wrestling than him. He giggled a bit, then looked to the adults. "Oh, beta could be a nice position to have in the future. Mama wants to be a hunter! I'll probably end up just being a hunter like her..." he trailed off, shaking his head.

Navii- f- 3- hunter- bi and poly open; Karter- mate open- wants pups- Oberon x Titania- Tags: Karter

The pretty dark she wolf turned turquoise eyes to her friend, and smiled a canine smile. She nodded her head as she looked at him. "Why, did you have trouble sleeping?" she teased the male. She giggled a bit, then shook her head. She said "I did have a bit of trouble going to sleep. Linkk ended up singing me a tune to help me," she said. Every-wolf probably knew how close the twins were, and how they'd been with their parents. Oberon and Titania had gone missing one day...

Linkk- m- 3- hunter- homo; Blizzard and Chronos and Comet maybe, Lucas- mate open- Tags

The lighter brown semi fluffy one moved a bit in his sleep. It was likely he heard his sister as she left the den a bit earlier. He moved some more, continuing to sleep. He whined a bit in his sleep, ears twitching back and tail flicking quick. He then finally jerked awake, turquoise eyes opening to the world around him. He stood and shook off, stretched then trotted to the entrance of the den. He stepped out of it. The smaller and slender one nodded to his sister, then headed for the prey pile.

Rion- m- 4 y 8 mo- warrior- willing to be beta- trainee: X- homo; Luciano and maybe also Archer- wants pups (which would require a surrogate or some such)- dad x mom and siblings (not in RP)- Tags: Mouse

The brown male pawed at his darker face again, feeling like there was an itch there. He shook his head a couple times. He let out a small puffing breath of air. He glanced around the camp, and his eyes landed upon the resident omega. He'd always wondered what she'd done to land in that ranking. Had she tried to fight Max and lost, or was she just too weak to be anything else? He wondered if it was that. After all, he watched a warrior snap at her, and send her scurrying with a cry. He watched her lie down in a protective way. Like she was trying to minimize anyone's ability to hurt her. She definitely didn't seem the fighting type. He glanced to her, then the prey pile, then her again.

He knew he could get in trouble, potentially, but he hurried to the pile. He grabbed a squirrel and a rabbit, managing to find one. He was going to give her the rabbit. It was a smaller one, anyway, and if all else failed he could snatch it back. He didn't know if he'd be quick enough. He could take it back and make it look like he was just passing by, if any wolf passed them. Then, if that wolf left, he could give it back to Mouse. He hurried over to her now, looking around then quickly dropping the rabbit.

Quin- f- 3 and 1/2- hunter- trainee: X- bi and poly open; Kass- mate open- Tags: Kass

The pretty, slender, and somewhat taller she wolf shook her head a couple times. The black-phase she wolf nodded to her friend. She looked at her paws when called darling. She felt like that was a thing Kass called every-wolf, though. She looked back up, smiling a wolf smile. She nodded to her friend a second time, saying "Fine, fine. I'm sure animals will come out, since it rained. I wouldn't be surprised if some burrows and dens and such have gotten flooded," she said.

Oriole- genderfluid (f)- 3 y- hunter- bi and maybe poly open- mate: Jay- pups: soon (mine is Sparrow- basil is/was aunt- Tags: Jay

The pretty chocolate one with the white muzzle yawned again. The white tipped tail flicked acouple more times. Light gray eyes glanced upon her mate, and she smiled. The white pawed one asked "How did you sleep last night?"

[sunhorsestar]

Kaden | Pup | L-Pack | Tagging: Qaniit, Lukina, Sorin | Location: Camp


It didn’t make sense. In all honesty, Kade had never really understood the path of a Hunter. Just chasing things around all day? Half the time, in his experience, the wolves who went out on the hunting parties barely brought anything back! Where was the glory? The opportunity to move forward? Where was there any kind of chance at a real future? Was he missing something somewhere? He shook the thoughts away though and pounced at Sorin to try and knock him over, playful, careful not to cause any damage to the younger pup.


Karter | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Navii | Location: Camp


"I dunno. It’s whatever though. I’ve always had this weird trouble with sleepin' on again and off again. Can’t really put much of a name to it, it just comes and goes, and as a result, I’m almost always up with the sun." He couldn’t complain though. Karter didn’t mind the early start. An early start guaranteed that he didn’t miss out on anything, and that nothing escaped his eye early on. He could see who was where, what was going on, before finally settling in for the day and finding something that was actually useful to do with himself.


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


"Exactly. Today will be a good day." That was what she chose to believe, anyway. What else could she allow herself to believe? If one was to start their day already depressed, then that was how the day would go. "So. You have anything much on your agenda? Anything big planned for the day ahead?" Kass asked. She personally liked to keep busy when she could, and she knew the Pack always appreciated the hard workers the most, but she was also aware some wolves weren’t like that, and honestly she hadn’t paid enough attention to Quin's habits to figure her out.

Lightning Pack

Willows | healer trainee | female | crush- Uciel, open |tags: Terra, Uciel, open

She shook her head at Uciel's question "no, no, you didn't, I woke up by myself, don't worry about that" she responded to the other healer trainee "there is no way you could wake me up, your steps are so silent, like a ghost..." she said joking, but then felt embarrassed. She nodded to the healer "of course, so which piles you're done already? uh were I can continue?" she asked, feeling even more stupid now.

Nyx | hunter | female | crush- Smoke & Leo | tags: Smoke, open

She turned to look at the white warrior, hearing her say something about her work being done "well, good job there, Snowball, I think the pack appreciates it, especially those who didn't want to wake up yet" she said with a smirk. She shook her head and sighed "no, not really, I am not really even thinking about what to do today, of course, hunting I need to do as aren't I a hunter..." she responded simply. She looked over to Lucas there before looking over to Smoke again "so what about you? any plans? or do you go where the wind takes you?" she asked her.

Chronos | warrior | male | crush- Karter | tags: Blizzard

He murmured something under his breath "hmm so you had a rough night as well...I think that some winter stuff" he said " too cold to sleep, too cold to eat, or too cold too so actually anything, but to stay alive you need to do those all" he said turning his eyes to look around the clearing. He shook his head "no, nobody come to me this morning, before you...so do you want to try to go to a patrol? Maybe we could go together or ask if there are some other warriors interested to join it?" he asked him.

Comet | hunter | male | crush- Terra & Cody | tags: Linkk, open

He looked around the camp his eyes looking to the pile as he noticed one of the hunters going there "You like frozen prey huh Linkk?" he asked him then shook his head "sorry I am looking for a possible hunting patrol to get out, so we could get some fresher prey to the camp than those" he continued with a sigh. He looked over to the den-mothers den "did you see if my sister or the other mothers are eaten yet?" he asked him.

Minttu | Den-mother | female | crush- Risen | tags: open

The pale she-wolf curled in her nest in the den-mothers den, she moved to the den a few days ago and there were still things she needed to use. The den-mothers den was quieter and more spacious as there were only two wolves including herself and two pups.
Stretching she stood up silently, she didn't want to wake up the two other she-wolves if they were still sleeping, walking toward the den entrance and peeking outside of it. The cold air made her shiver a little bit, but she didn't really mind it that much, her eyes looked around the camp, before spotting the hunter Risen there, blushing deeply as she looked at the male.

Roque | hunter trainee | female | trainer- Toby | crush- open | tags: Micah, Toby

She was hungry, so hungry, but she didn't want to just go to eat in the fresh-kill pile she wanted to work hard and earn her prey. Shaking her white fur once more to make it feel warmer, she looked back to the trainee's den for Micah who was still at her nest "hey Micah, wake up, you don't want to miss the morning hunts and other duties" she called out for her. Her ears perked over to the little group where his trainer Toby was as well, she didn't want to miss it either "Tobyy? Are you going for a hunt? I would love to come too?" she decided to call over to her trainer too "prey tastes better after hard work right?" she called out with a smirk.

Apocalypse | elder | genderfluid | crush- none | tags: Shadow

He listened and nodded, his hearing was not as good as it was when younger, but hearing the Alpha's gentle voice didn't got any problems for him at all "that's good, you need to eat as much you can, the pack needs their alpha and the pack is much happier if the alpha is strong and healthy" he responded with a smile. He flicked his ears as he sat down "of course, I am not maybe the wisest wolf there, but if I can help you anyhow, I will gladly do it and I do have a lot of time to spare..." he said looking at her "so what's troubling you my alpha?" he repeated his question.

Fire Pack

Octavia | senior hunter | female | crush- Max | tags: open

She woke up and left the den almost immediately, she knew that the cold felt even colder if you stay in the warm den too long. Shivering a little bit, she shook her fur and stretched, her eyes looking over to the alpha there, wanting to greet him good mornings, but decided another way after she saw this serious gaze the alpha gave to Enui he seemed to go to talk to. She sighed and looked around the camp to see which hunters were up now, could they do a hunting patrol, maybe a large one as the pack needed prey, badly?

Serafina | hunter | female | crush- Kassandra & Leonidas | tags: Kassandra, Quin

She woke up in the empty yet little freezing den, realizing that she was the only one there now 'how embarrassing she thought to herself and almost run out of the den, but felt relieved when noticed how many wolves still were there. Stretching her legs the white she-wolf shook her fur and walked over to the other two hunters she saw ahead of the hunter's den "good morning, ladies" she called out with a soft smile as she looked over to Kassandra and Quin "uh did I disturb anything? I sure hope not?" she asked then her eyes turning to either of them "plans for today...uh sorry asking too, much without even knowing if I am bothering you or not" she said with an embarrassed laugh.

Archer | warrior | male | crush- open | tags: Arian, Canary

He smiled at Canary then turned to the lead warrior when she started to speak to him "Oh, stop flattering me, Arian..." he responded to her with a smile. He looked and listened to what the she-wolf wanted to suggest for them to do, giving a nod to her as she told them what was on her mind "sure, that sounds like a plan? are we going now? or asking for more volunteers to this patrol?" he asked at Arian.

Solomon | warrior | male | crush- Acero | tags: Kazill

He felt a little awkward when the warrior mentioned him not eating that much "well, yeah that's little my weakness I could say...I just let the others eat and eat those the leftovers...I know I could eat a little bit more too" he said to him. He looked over the hunters there "yeah, do you think we could do more bigger scouting patrols? if there is not enough prey inside our lands we could check those unclaimed lands next to ours?" he suggested looking over the grown and gray male warrior next to him "of course we could need to speak with alpha before doing anything" he said.

Lucifer | hunter | male | crush- open | tags: open

He walked to the fresh-kill pile to look at the status there, it was not good, there were only a few small preys left. Sighing he knows that today will be a heavy day and lots of walking around to look for prey. He didn't mind hard work, he liked to run around the forest, but he does hope to get some reward for the hard work too. He heard noises after he saw his son Cheshire running around like some little pup, but this was his very first winter so of course, he was excited. His ears perked toward the warrior's den as he saw his son laying on the ground after slipping 'hmmm, he was still lot's to learn' he thought to himself before turning to his other pup, Zaeru who was also coming to the fresh-kill pile.

Tesla | warrior trainee | male | trainer- Morain | crush- Catania | tags: Morain

The warrior trainee eat the squirrel his trainer picked for him, he was hungrier than he thought to be as the squirrel almost disappeared to his stomach "I am sorry, I didn't ask if you wanted a share..." he said embarrassed licking his lips as he looked the leftovers. He nodded to her "yes I did sleep very well actually, I had some very weird dreams, but I can't remember it anymore, but I do remember that you were there too" he said. He then shook his head "So are we going now, as I am done...with the squirrel...as you can see...nothing left" he said.

Cheshire | warrior trainee | male | trainer- Leonidas | crush- open | tags: Leonidas, open

He shook the snow out of his face and fur, getting back to his paws "I know...this slippery come from nowhere...I was running there happily without any problems then boom and then I had a lot of snow in my eyes, and could only smell snow and I think I ate some snow too..." he said to him. He looked back at his trainer, with a little apology look in his eyes "soo, if that was the first lesson, then what's are the other lessons?" he asked him.

Zaeru | healer trainee | genderfluid |crush- open | tags: Ekaterina

As she finished her prey, she noticed the older healer trainee Ekaterina there on her way toward the camp entrance "hey, wait Ekaterina? Where are you going? Can I join too?" she called out for the female healer "Does Jasmin know? She hardly appreciates you leaving and not telling where..." she told her, walking after her. She then felt stupid when she repeated her own words, first asking to join her and then asking if their trainer liked it or not.

[belloblossom]

Mouse | Fire Omega | Location: Camp | Tagging: Rion

Mouse had looked up when she heard pawsteps coming towards her, bunching her muscles tightly together defensively. Was it Enui, come to finish the job, or another wolf meaning to antagonize her as well? A quick glance and a wheezing breath in told her that it was another male, a quick, shy glance upward told her it was Rion, an older male. He had a rabbit in his jaws and then dropped it at her feet. Her stomach growled at the scent of prey near her and she looked hungrily at it.

I shouldn't eat it. She thought. I'll get in trouble. Maybe that's what he wants. He wants me to eat it, for the blood and prey scent to smear over my lips and nose, so that others will see my offense and I will be killed for it. The two year old she-wolf couldn't fathom that anything like this was done out of kindness to her. She kept her gaze on the rabbit in front of her, hunger instincts warren with the knowledge of consequences to follow if she ate it.

Was it worth it to question Rion on his choice? No, omegas didn't talk to their higher ups - who in the pack, was everyone besides the omega themselves. Her nostrils flared and the longer she waited, the more her eyes shone at the prospect of prey, any prey, in her belly. Especially when it was so cold these months. She shouldn't, she really shouldn't, but... she couldn't help it. She stumbled forward, legs untangling as she took the rabbit into her maw and began to tear away its fur and into the softer bits inside. She felt delirious with joy and she took the chance to enjoy the moment. After all, once any one else in the pack saw what she was doing, she was certain that her joy would be cut short.

[belloblossom]

Enui | Fire Warrior | Location: Alpha's Den | Tagging: Max

Enui was eager to get her moment, but she saw the wisdom of asking questions.
"How do you manage it all, the stress of leadership and the weight of it? And... how do you not let it affect you?" She asked the older male. She tended to wear her heart on her paw, but being overly emotional may not be a trait suited to a leader. Even though Enui was younger, four something years these days, she knew enough to suspect that you had to be composed through the hostilities you might face.

"And... I want to ask about the Lightning Pack. Our packs have been at odds for seasons, longer than I have been alive, even." She brought up. "What, if any, is the status on that? Are we at peace, despite the occasional border patrol, or will we mean to one day drive them out? I want to know, so that I can support your decision from any naysayers." She raised her head. "Though no wolf shall dare disagree with you while I'm around." She added with a smile. "They shall have to go through me before talking to you, so I can filter out the real problems from the small, petty ones. I hope to lessen your stress with my new rank." She explained, the pretty words rolling off her tongue with ease.

[StormDragon55]

Phoenix/L-pack Hunter/Location: Camp, prey pile/Tagging: Cody (Mentions: Toby, Storm)

He flicked his tail and his gaze landed on Toby and Storm "do you think those 2 are planning a hunt? We should tell them about the deer scent I catch" he says looking back over to where Cody stood

Canary/F-pack Warrior/Location: Camp/Tagging: Arian, Archer (mentions: Rion, Mouse)

She looked around to find another Warrior, but saw something unthinkable, it was Rion giving Mouse prey! She growled see that "Arian look!" She says bristling of her fur "I haven't eaten yet, and yet Rion has the audacity to feed the Omega!" She growled loudly

Jay/F-pack Hunter/Location: Camp, Hunter's den/Tagging: Oriole

They'd yawn seeing Oriole yawn as well "I slept well, especially since it was next go you" they said licking her cheek

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

River giggled watching Fish try and smooth down her ever sticking out fur. River reached over and licked her friend's shoulder smoothing down one part "There you go, that should help" she said with a small tail wag. Some wolves thought she and Fish could be too close but to River their friendship was perfect. She shook her head "Nothing on my schedule yet. Perhaps we could go off on a quick patrol, make sure none of those fire wolves have come close to us" she said with a hint of laughter. River turned her head to look around the camp, there were a few other warriors and hunters already out of their dens and beginning to gather. Maybe there there would be a patrol they could tag along too?
As she scanned the camp her eyes landed on the pelt of one of the pack hunters - Toby. She had always admired the hunter's dedication to the pack , and well - him in general. She shook her head ridding her from her thoughts. Nope, she scolded herself. We aren't doing this today.
River returned her attention back to Fish and wagged her tail "oh! How was your swim?"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Risen lowered his head as Night spoke to him, even though he was a decent ranking as a hunter, his more muted side of him added a submissive undertone. He hoped he wasn't embarrassing the warrior by his lack of words. His ears pricked as she offered to share a meal, with a small nod of his head he re-focused his attention towards the prey pile. Once again, the pile brought the hunter sadness. He couldn't help but let an unamused whine escape him as he huffed over the prey pile. His eyes scanning over the limited options. It would really be down to a rabbit or squirrel or other small prey item. The only thing they seemed to have luck catching recently. Hopefully that would change soon.
Risen tiled his head towards the rabbit as to ask Night if she would like that. He would of course fetch it for him, he could be a gentleman at times. He also wanted to select a few prey pieces for the mothers and expecting mothers. They needed to eat. His large head turned to look towards the den of the mother wolves, he caught a glimpse of Minttu - an expecting mother and dipped his head in a greeting. He noted that since she was awake to bring her a piece of prey in a moment.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Blaze woke up to the cold morning air creeping into his fur, as his amber eyes opened he realized he had fallen asleep, once again in the camp instead of his den. He shook his head , Scolding himself for laying under a tree rather than the den. He pushed himself thoughtlessly to his paws before shaking the fallen leaves and twigs from his fur. Blaze was always on guard, even when his pack mates told him to relax. It just wasn’t possible for the fighter. He needed and wanted to always be prepared. Especially with the Lightning pack so close, he hated even thinking of those wolves. And hated the thought of them ever trying to take the Fire pack land. If they could take him down that was. Blaze huffed and continued his watch over the camp.
He noticed Arian, the lead warrior beginning to put together a patrol , or at least he assumed. With a huff, Blaze padded towards the tan wolf and dipped his head as he approached "Good morning Arian" he greeted her with a flick of his tail.

Destiny offered a soft smile as she realized she caught the warrior off guard. "I apologize if I am disrupting your morning" she spoke softly before flicking her tail to answer the wolf "However, I am well , thank you greatly for asking! I am just hopeful for a patrol to go out soon. I'm a bit more energetic this morning" she commented before shaking her fur out gently hoping to not get anything on the black pelted wolf in front of her.

Lukina- f- 5 y 6 mo- Den mother; wants hunter- willing to be beta- trainee: X- Pan; Shadow- mate open- pups: Sorin plus two more- dad x mom and litter mates and others (not in RP)- Tags: Sorin/ Kaden, Qaniit

The pretty gray she wolf turned her golden gaze to the other adult. She nodded to Qaniit, saying "They're both growing so quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if they could become alpha or beta." When her son spoke, she nodded along to what he said. "Yeah, I want to be a hunter once I can get back to it."

She let her eyes wander the camp a moment, seeing Mintsu in the nursery entrance. She saw Risen over there as well. Her belly grumbled a bit, and she felt like she'd blush in embarrassment. Shaking her head, she asked "Have you eaten yet, Qaniit?"

Sorin- m- 2 mo- pup- willing to be beta when he's old enough (I didn't realize I could write that)- will have a trainee when older- will be homo; will be Kaden- male x Lukina, two siblings- Tags: Lukina/ Kaden, Qaniit

The smaller and slender black-phase pup giggled, a puppyish sound. He lowered his head to lick at white toes, then raised his head again. He barked and wagged at the other pup. Maybe he was a bit too excited here, but he was happy. He flicked his tail quickly back and forth, then stopped. He twitched his ears and squeaked as he was knocked over, then pawed and tried to kick at Kaden a bit.

The pretty dark she wolf nodded as she looked at the male. He was bigger than her. Which was usually normal for a male compared to a female. She didn't mind it so much. She smiled a bit as she looked at him, then listened as he spoke. "Maybe...I could try helping," she said. She didn't know if he'd accept that, since what she was thinking of was cuddling up to him whenever he'd have trouble sleeping. "Getting up early is a good thing, though. It allows an early start to hunting, and patrols and such."

Linkk- m- 3- hunter- homo; Blizzard and Chronos and Comet maybe, Lucas- mate open- Tags: Comet

The lighter brown semi fluffy one glanced around a moment. Turquoise eyes caught sight of all his pack mates around. He jumped a bit as Comet spoke to him, quickly looking to him. "Oh, um...good morning Comet," he said first. He then said "Fresh prey would be nice. Did you...want me to be part of the hunting party?" he asked, tilting his head some. He glanced towards the nursery, and shook his head. "I see Risen over there, I think he might be intending to bring them some food."

Rion- m- 4 y 8 mo- warrior- willing to be beta- trainee: X- homo; Luciano and maybe also Archer- wants pups (which would require a surrogate or some such)- dad x mom and siblings (not in RP)- Tags: Mouse

The darker faced brown male watched the she wolf curl in on herself defensively. Well, she was bunching her muscles, anyway. He shook his head a couple times. He watched her glance up, quick and shy, probably to figure out who was before her. He continued to watch her after dropping the rabbit. He could hear her belly, as he was sure omegas were always hungry. He knew they didn't always get to eat. When they did, they were the last ones to do so. Shaking his head, he watched as she seemed to be thinking. Contrary to what she probably believed, he did do it out of kindness. Perhaps more so pity than kindness. Sometimes, he wondered why he was in this pack, as he was so kind and caring.

He could be mean and fight when needed, that's why he was a warrior as he was. He cared for, or at least pitied, others too easy, though. He also knew he could get in trouble if they got caught. He said "Eat it, quick, before any- wolf sees." Maybe it wouldn't be so bad being caught. If he was put in the omega rank, she'd have a friend, at least. Unless she was boosted to a different rank because he was the omega...Whatever, no time to think on it right now. "Good," he said, as she began to eat quickly. He didn't realize Canary had already seen...or that she was telling Arian. Arian had seemed a bit busy anyway. He also knew he could potentially be chased out of the pack for this, too...but only shook his head.

Quin- f- 3 and 1/2- hunter- trainee: X- bi and poly open; Kass- mate open- Tags: Kass

The pretty black-phase she wolf nodded to her friend. She said "I'm sure it will be a very good day," and chuckled a bit. She shook her head, then glanced around a moment. She said "Well, I could go hunting on my own but I probably shouldn't. Who knows what other predators I'd run into out there...Maybe we could go together, or see if there's a hunting party planned." She then looked over as Serafina approached them."oh, um...you're not bothering us, we were just talking about plans for the day."

The white marked pretty chocolate one giggled at they're mate. She nodded as she looked at him, light gray eyes soft. "Yes, I slept well too, being next to you. Um...were mates now, so do you...have you ever thought of pups?" she asked.

Arian | Lead Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Canary, Archer, Kazimir, Mouse, Rion, Blaze | Location: Camp


"I never offer flatteries, only the truth," Arian insisted. She tilted her head to the side. "I think with Blaze or Acero, it should be enough." Speak of the devil, one of the wolves in question had appeared, and she dipped her head in turn to him. "Good morning, Blaze. You’re just in time. I was actually about to send for you, to see if you weren’t too busy for a patrol?" Although phrased like a question, her tone held a certain air about it that was more giving an order. She never meant to come off as bossy, but she was sure the others would understand. It was her job to command.

Arian paused as Canary spoke. "Before the others have eaten? An Omega has to eat too, but the hierarchy says she eats last. I doubt if everyone else's been fed yet." Arian's feelings towards the Omega were quite mixed. On one hand, she understood the dark place it must put the she-wolf in. She maybe even sympathized a little, but was certainly glad it wasn’t her. Alone, she might’ve opted for kindness too. On the other hand, she was the example, she had to set the example, and there was no room for wolves who could not lend to the Pack. She honestly didn’t know why they weren’t simply cast out.

"Oh dear. Things have to be sorted out, all in accordance with the hierarchy, I suppose. Though dealing with the rules and protocols that bind an Omega is never a pleasant task. I'll speak with Rion later, we have patrols to attend to. Even so, though..." She glanced towards Rion and Mouse though, wary. The role of Omega truly is pointless mechanically, but it’s all part of the hierarchy… She marched forward, to Mouse and Rion, narrowing her eyes. "Hey. Omega. You made sure everyone else has had the chance to eat before you take your share?" She challenged.


Cody | Hunter | L-Pack | Tagging: Phoenix | Location: Camp


Cody nodded. It certainly seemed that way. Toby was a social wolf, but the way his gaze kept travelling over the group that was scattered throughout the clearing, it certainly seemed he was searching for someone or something. "It appears that way to me. Go on, let him know, and if you’ve nothing else to do, maybe the two of us can be of some use to that hunting party, or else take out one of our own," she suggested.



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


"For some time now, we've lacked a Beta or Leads. It comes to my mind more and more frequently these days, and I always put it off for fear I’ll do as my father did and make the wrong choice. One wrong choice can change history," Shadow admitted. It was just a worry she’d carried a long time. "But I’m debating my options. You’ve been in this Pack before I was born, and you’ve undoubtedly had more experience with them all socially, given how busy I can get as an Alpha. Might I run some names by you? I’d like a second opinion, I worry I may be too much in my own head," she added.


Toby | Hunter | L-Pack | Tagging: Storm, Roque | Location: Camp


"Huh? Good morning," he greeted Roque, a flicker of warmth tinting his voice. "Actually, as a matter of fact, Storm and I were discussing getting a group together. Nothing like lived experience to learn by, huh?" Toby knew the Trainee was still quite young, but he didn’t mind giving it a shot. She was smart and strong and fast. "Have you seen Linkk or Comet? We were hoping to bring them along too. More bodies means chance at bigger game or more area covered."


Smoke | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Nyx, Lucas | Location: Camp


Choosing to ignore the sarcasm, Smoke shrugged. "Well I’m glad someone sees it that way." Her wink following suggested a teasing that her tone only held the slightest note of. She could play it off, at the very least, she wouldn’t allow herself to be pushed off to the side or spoken down to. That was for other wolves who didn’t know how to either stand up for themselves or let things roll off their backs in the same way she’d learned to. "I guess just go with the flow unless I’m appointed to something in particular. Really I’m eager to get moving again."


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


Fish offered a sheepish grin in response to her friend's attempt to held with the damp, unruly fur. She didn’t have a whole social circle the way most wolves did, and the wolves she did feel close to, she kept close. As close as possible. Physically and emotionally. River was certainly one of those wolves, so her touch was more than welcome. "Yeah, I would be up for that. I don’t think I saw the Alpha, so no patrols have been formally organized yet?" It came out more of a question than she had intended. "What’s the matter?" She followed her friend's gaze towards Toby. Then she snapped out of it. "It was good! Cold, but that’s normal now. It’s good exercise, keeps the muscles and core strong. I should teach you sometime, in the shallows, where it’s not a really strong current!"


Blizzard | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Chronos | Location: Camp


"Yeah, I've been blessed with a thick pelt, but it’s still not enough to keep me happy, per se. I’d rather be up and moving, get the blood flowing a little, y'know?" Blizzard nodded, scanning the camp. Who was actually around? "Yeah, maybe we could grab…Denzell? I could swear that I had seen him a little earlier, up with the sun, practically."


Night | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Risen | Location: Camp


Really, she wasn’t sure what to make of the nearly-silent Hunter, but she’d known wolves of all kinds before, and sometimes it just took a while for them to become comfortable, and Night understood. She was quite a presence, demanding and high energy and stubborn to boot. "Sure, why not. At this point in the season, any prey is good," she agreed when Risen indicated the rabbit. Food was food. They needed to keep their energy up if they wanted to succeed, protecting their Pack well and securing their lands, continue bringing in prey, in the case of the Hunters.


Uciel | Healer Trainee | L-Pack | Tagging: Terra, Willows | Location: Camp


"Hah…okay, I guess that’s true." Uciel certainly wasn’t like Smoke, who ran around making a lot of noise simply for the sake of it. He set down his herbs. "Maybe help me sort these out? I collected whatever I could and didn’t really think about transporting them separately. I didn’t want to take too many trips when we're already starting to run low on energy and the food that gives us the energy we need," he explained.



Max | Alpha | F-Pack | Tagging: Enui | Location: Camp


That was a good question. Not one that Max really put a lot of thought into. After all this time, a little more than three and a half years as Alpha, it was just…normal for him. "Oh it affects me, I simply don’t allow it to cloud my judgement. I have to remember to not think about myself anymore, but about the Pack. What’s best for the Pack, rather than any one individual. It’s why I let Moon leave us when sickness hit the camp last year, and why we ended our war before one Pack could be eliminated entirely. Back then, we were not strong enough. Which leads into your second question. We are in a truce. We have been at truce for seven months. We didn’t have the strength or numbers, but these Packs have been feuding for years. I know all the stories my father used to tell me," he remembered. "As our Pack grows and strengthens, one day, I plan to be rid of these fools who call themselves Warriors and Alphas and Hunters, who do half their job and leave so much room for mistakes. They’re a shame to the wolves who put in the real work, and after so many wrongs done to us, I want to play our cards right, and take them out in one fell swoop when the time comes."



Kazill | Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Solomon | Location: Camp



"You still have to take care of yourself. The Pack needs all its wolves strong. I get it. You want the rest of the Pack to be well-off, you give up your share for them, but what good is it if you end up getting sick and weak from malnutrition and end up stuck in the Healer's den for sky-dogs only know how long?" Kaz pointed out. He nodded. Unclaimed lands. No-man's land, land where the two Packs could have their meetings, to discuss whatever they needed, to share important news. Whatever it may be. "If you want, we can speak to him about it today, we’d also have to go through Arian though, as Lead Warrior, if we plan to search while out on patrols or whatever," he pointed out.


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


"Good. I’ve had something already today, don’t worry about me." She couldn’t help but think it was kind of touching that her Trainee worried about her too though. Móraín stood and stretched out her spine. "Patrols are already going to be leaving soon, so we should get going when we can." She tilted her head to the side with vague concern. "Weird dreams? Are they bothering you? If sleeping is troublesome, I’m sure Jasmin has something to help."


Luciano | Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Destiny | Location: Camp


Luciano nodded slowly. His thoughts had been something along the same lines, admittedly. He shifted his weight back. "Yes, I was actually thinking in a very similar manner myself, as a matter of fact. It doesn’t appear to me anyone has been searching for us. Arian collected a small group over there. I suppose we could check out if more numbers are needed," he suggested. It would certainly beat standing around and doing nothing.


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


Kass turned as Serafina approached them, and she nodded for the she-wolf to come join them. Serafina was a good wolf. A wolf she liked, quite a bit, in fact. "Oh nothing at all, dear! Not interrupting a thing, nor being a bother. We were just making chitchat," she told her. "I fear we might bore you, speaking of the weather and our hopes for good prey, despite all our recent days of luck, but if you wish our company regardless, then you’re more than welcome to join the party, I’m sure."
