Wolf RPG

 

Crius examined the moonlit hills, the territory was far bigger than he thought, he had yet to meet any of his pack mates. It'd take some getting used to but he could make the hollow work in whatever den or tree stump the offered him. It'd be appropriate for him to introduce himself to at least two or three of his pack mates when he gets around to it, that or just become good friends with one.

Judas paced around just inside the entrance of his den, going back and forth. He had things on his mind. Polar opposite thoughts. Some for devious acts, others for kindness to the pack that showed him hospitality. He did not spy anyone nearby, too busy muttering to himself. Having one of his little self-conversations. They were becoming more frequent, and more annoying. But also shorter, and quieter.

On her way to give Judas another check up, as her last one was a bit...rigid, she happened to come across the smell of another. It took a moment for her to decipher who the owner was, but when she did she was joyed. It belonged to Crius, a wolf she had accepted into Moonlit. The two hadn't spoken since then, so she took a detour only for a moment to see her fellow pack member. "Crius!" She said, once spotting him in the distance, her pace began to slow the more she closed whatever distance between them. "How are you?" She asked, hoping he was growing to like his home in Moonlit Hills.

Crius heard his name come from a short distance away; he turned eyes narrowed in an attempt to make out who had called him, and it was no other than Sage. A toothy grin  stretched it's away across his muzzle, it had been a time since he last saw the Beta female and he had been meaning to find her anyway as he had a request to make of her. "Sage!" He bellowed taking a few steps towards her. "I am fine, a little light headed but I think that's just the change in season catching up to me. How are you?" 

It had just occurred to the Dark wolf that he needed to find Judas, if he was an agent of X it'd be best to try and talk him out of following X's leadership.

Judas paused his pacing upon hearing two conversations going. He stopped what he was doing and cast a glance over at them. He saw Sage and someone else, someone he had not seen. He decided to sit and watch how this went, easily hearing what they heard, tipping his head to the side curiously.

"I'm well," She spoke with a nod of the head, as if supporting the fact she was, indeed, well. The Beta didn't notice Judas lingering so close by, too focused on her recent pack member than anything else. "Have you met anyone else besides me and Malice?" It was always good to stay social, at least if you were within a pack. Recently, she'd caught the smell of newcomer's she's had yet to meet, finding this rather bothering. She wished to gain at least good relationships with all her members, and wouldn't be able to do so if she hadn't even met them.

"That is good," Crius uttered, unaware that his target was far closer than he expected "I have not met anyone yet but, I am excited to meet everyone soon." though he did have a mission it'd be beneficial for him to make many allies within the pack. 

 "I have something to ask you, how are we on scouts?" he asked. Hopefully, Sage would mention the need for another scout, and it was far more useful occupation than another hunter. "I know all of us can hunt, but not everyone has a nose for spy work and scout work."

Judas watched the two converse, before toning out due to a new voice. One only he could hear. "We should give him a 'friendly' welcome" said the sadistic voice. Judas snarled at the voice. It was getting on his nerves. Although, it was right. If he wanted to get back on the good side of the pack, he needed to step up. Make his charm and friendly facade his true face. Just not in the way his other side intended.

So the coywolf came more out into the light, keeping his distance. Knowing full well that Sage would not look fobdly on him. "Good day, you two" he greeted over to them before shaking out his fur.

"I'm gaining the scout trade myself, along with Issun. I'd be happy to join you on a scouting expedition." It wasn't until Judas spoke did she notice his presence. Moving her gaze upon to coywolf, her expression hardened slightly. Although her original reason for coming this way was to see Judas, she hadn't expected him to show up on his own. "And to you," Sage nodded at the male, giving him a one-over with her eyes, before returning to Crius.

She'd taken time and effort to become closer with Judas, but lately it seemed her work was becoming rather useless. Their last occurrence was rather disappointing.

Excellent, it appears Crius could earn his place in the pack through scouting after all. It'd take him some time to become as vigilant as he wanted but he had plenty of time as far as his time in the moonlit hills was concerned. "Fantastic! I can't wait to get to buis-" Crius was cut off by the voice of a stranger, no doubt one of his cohorts. 

He turned his gaze from Sage to the intruder; he looked the newcomer over his eyes widening. This male resembled X. It was uncanny. Could he have been her spy? If so Crius would need to keep his eyes on him, the last thing he wanted was for X's subordinate to ruin Crius' new hold life. "And so it is um... I'm sorry I didn't quite catch your name?" 

Judas let off a gentle smile in response to Sage's greeting, accompanied by a nod of his head. "It is. Great day for a stroll, but I know my place." He then turned to the other, whose name was Crius from. Judas had heard Sage say it earlier. "Judas. Just Judas." He started to look around, as he usually did from time to time.

Judas seemed especially kind today, maybe it was only because she became impatient with him last time, or maybe he was truly turning over a new rock—or maybe just manipulating her to think those things. Although she may not trust the coywolf, Sage would never treat him differently than her other members, unless given reason otherwise. "Do you have any aspirations to be a scout?" The dark fae asked, hoping to keep the same conversation flowing.

"Of course, I can be quite sneaky after all." Crius assured his eyes still fixated on Judas. He looked the smaller wolf over intently, looking for signs of fragility. Judas seemed normal, excluding his coyote-esq features.

"Becoming a scout would be most rewarding not only for me but the pack lady Sage," he began, taking his eyes off of Judas and returning his gaze to Sage. "Plus i'd love to spend more time together." Crius would have to be careful not to tip Judas off too early, if the coywolf was under X, there'd be more than enough time to gather what little information he may know already.

There was something..off about Crius. He kept on looking at Judas. Maybe it was because he had never seen a coywolf. Or something else. Judas wouldn't have been bothered if it were for the first reason, but if it were for something else, that would bother him. Yet he assumed it were the former reason, and paid no more mind to it. 

"I wouldn't. She'd talk your ear off" he joked, a grin slowly appearing. He had learned one way to get on someone's good side was making jokes. Making jokes about them, he hadn't learnt the downside of that yet. "Anyway, I'm going to go back to my corner. Just wanted to see what all the talking was about." He dipped his muzzle in farewell, then retreated back into his den. For once, he had a good feeling.

Sage gave Judas a small smile of approval, he said nothing rude, and even made a joke. Maybe he really was warming up to his wolf side. "Farewell, Judas." She'd make sure to check up on him sometime soon. She refocused on Crius, her tail swishing back in forth in a leisurely manner. "If you wish, the two of us may go on a scouting mission." She had recently gone on one with Issun, but there was never a time not too in her mind. Moonlit still needed to scope and discover any lingering packs near by.

"Till late Judas." Crius muttered, While the idea of his first scouting mission with Sage and company was a fond one, Crius needed to first solidly submit the idea that he can scout as an Agent of the Hollow with relative ease. "For now, I will have to decline reluctantly the offer; I wish to investigate the a few territories alone, that and a few other territories. That way if things were to go south due to hostility, we wouldn't be at risk to lose one of our leaders." 

While Sage was honored he would rather keep the Beta safe, she was almost offended that someone might think she was unable to care for herself, but knew he was only doing so out of respect. "I'm able to scout anytime you wish to," she exclaimed, giving a small smile.

"Believe me I am well aware you are more than likely an excellent scout my lady."be bowed his head. By no means did he want to offend the beta, it was the last thing on his mind he just needed to scout the wilds alone for a bit. "I will head out as soon as you give the order gracious leader."

She thought for a moment, taking consideration to his word. "Actually, if you wouldn't mind, I've been hoping to discover any other nearby packs, maybe you could assist?" Sage smiled slightly as the male, showing all was well. "We'be already discovered those of Dark Brotherhood and Neverwinter.
