days replace days - Sascha - January 14, 2018
for @Alarian / the trio B) -- keeping it vague
oh, yeah, blackfeather's probably fine, and sascha will eventually give in to the guilt at the thought of disappointing their fathers and go back, but right now all sascha thinks is fuck the plan. they've never been a particularly disciplined child -- that was the whole point of sending them away, after all -- and they do not handle changes in structure well. they had instructions. a plan. except of course it was never going to be that simple because meldresi's claim lived on without her and there's politics and cousins and obligations. they caught a glimpse of that gaping maw and thought, it can wait a moon or two.
bugger it. they walk over the iced over tarns they pass, slipping slightly but maintaining their dignity -- until they slide across a larger patch of ice and end up sideways in the snow, feeling all the more a disgruntled cat. they rise and shake themselves off, casting their gaze back the way they came. maybe they just need to suck it up and get it over with. it's not as if they aren't proud to be a melonii or they don't want to contribute, it's just. a lot of work. the gods surely understand taking a day of rest. surely.
RE: days replace days - Alarian - January 15, 2018
Ali was doing a lot better since their encounter with the healer-- his infection had yet to clear up entirely but it was clearly on its way out. It showed in the way his eyes were a little brighter, the way he spoke more cheerfully and moved more energetically. Often his new-found energy was put towards trying to cheer @Korei Julia and @Lennon up in the aftermath of the cougar attack and everything else that had come with it.
Now they were back to traveling towards the pack, but Alarian had the nagging feeling something was off. He didn't really know how right he was-- though the trio had intended to go East, they had somehow ended up going the opposite way, back where they came from. It hadn't fully dawned on him yet when he stopped suddenly at the sight of another wolf, the color of smoke and shadow. He chuffed, half to alert his companions and half to greet the new wolf.

RE: days replace days - Korei Julia - January 15, 2018
Korei Julia stuck close by Alarian and Lennon since the cougar attack. She wasn't letting either of them get out of her sight, not once. She was going to put very, very close attention to them.
She brought her head up to Alarian as he chuffed, and then spotted the new wolf. With the injuries on the males, she half wanted to just stop them here, in case this wolf proved dangerous. But instead, she moved with Alarian till he stopped.
RE: days replace days - Lennon - January 15, 2018
Lennon's shoulder was healing faster than he anticipated, likely only a few smaller scars would remain once completely recovered. Even then, his fur might cover any trace of a wound there. His leg, though, was still unable to be walked on. Every chance available, he took the time to clean the gash, heading the witch's warning. Ever since, the young wolf no longer occupied their time with a song, only when the three were falling asleep. His charm and cheeriness, for the most part, hadn't ceased; especially when Alarian was being extra merry.
Seeing a stranger, for the first time, Lennon wished to turn around and leave them be. He cared not for a brawl, nor ill-tongue in his state. He cared not to deal with anymore, in simplest form, bullshit. It was clear the wolf in the distance was not a weakling, and nor was he when he had four working legs. Part of Lennon disliked this sudden scorn towards unfamiliar faces, before the recent attack he would approach any strange with hope and welcoming - but the "scuffle" had tainted his jovial perspective of newcomers for the time being. Yet, the true side of Lennon managed to peak out and not run away at the sight, and instead be only cautious. He chuffed as well, making the shadow aware of the group's presence.

RE: days replace days - Sascha - January 16, 2018
they're still looking toward blackfeather when they lower their mouth to groom the snow from their sides, ears twitching back in annoyance. they don't have time to dwell on it before a chuff breaks the pleasantly frosty silence of the tarns -- oh, joy. not only one stranger, but three. their eyes flick between the trio, subtlely duo-tinted gaze nakedly unimpressed by their general condition. have they been mauled by a bear recently or something?
but the trio doesn't look hostile and so sascha makes no effort to appear concerned by their presence. instead they cock their head. "nasty cut," they comment, lifting an eyebrow, and pull themself to their paws. "i'd hope whatever gave you that isn't still on your trail."
RE: days replace days - Alarian - January 19, 2018
He's dead, don't worry! Or she.Alarian informed the other cheerfully, then realized how that sounded.
Or-- it, I guess? Was a cougar.
He wasn't certain what to make of this stranger; they appeared so subtly unique, and so apparently indifferent. The boy tilted his head the opposite way in response, grinning lopsidedly at the other wolf. At least there was no hostility-- he had come to expect as much from strangers in this land.
What's your name?
RE: days replace days - Korei Julia - January 19, 2018
Korei Julia looked to Alarian as he spoke to the other wolf. She hoped it was dead, even though she had seen it dead. But then again, everyone had thought Galaxy dead the first time, and she hadn't been...
She glanced back cautiously at thinking this, thinking maybe they were being hunted currently, and tucked in close to Lennon.
RE: days replace days - Lennon - January 25, 2018
Lennon's memory flashed to Alarian ripping apart the cougar's abdomen at the shadow's comment but refocused as Korei shifted closer to him. He wondered if she fears the feline wasn't dead yet knew well it was but a lifeless body. He tilted his head in curiosity to his companion's inquiry, wondering too what the stranger's name was; and about a hundred more questions.
The creature seemed so indifferent and unanimated, something the dark male couldn't relate to.

RE: days replace days - Sascha - January 26, 2018
again only the little one speaks. sascha openly checks them out, finds themselves a little jealous of the other's delicate build. they're not exactly hulking themself, but it would be nice to have a body that didn't immediately scream male at every stranger, scent aside. at least a little ambiguity would have been nice.
oh, well. since the other two seem to be deferring to the feminine one, sascha doesn't bother addressing them when they speak. "glad to hear it," they murmur, not sounding glad at all. "my name is sascha melonii. i assume you're the ring leader of this little à trois?" they glance briefly at the other two, dismissive, and move to sit again in a fluid motion. their features pull forward, attentive despite the seeming disinterest in their voice -- they're curious about this little group. what are they up to? sascha's never considered the goings-on of those outside of their family circle, but if blackfeather is a dud, perhaps it's worth considering socializing with the locals a little bit.
RE: days replace days - Alarian - February 10, 2018
The boy found the strange disconnect between the other wolf's tone and words fascinating. Their name, too, was novel to him. Sascha, he repeated to himself in his head. It was a feminine name, contrasting the masculine build, and he admittedly was a bit confused. It didn't matter too much, though.
We don't have a leader. I just talk a lot.Ali's observation was merry and without hesitance.
I'm Alarian Keil! Do you live around here?
RE: days replace days - Korei Julia - February 10, 2018
Korei remained close to Lennon as Alarian took the head of the conversation, speaking to the other named Sascha. She remained ever silent, occasionally tucking her face into Lennon's fur in a rather nervous manner.
Short post from me as she's not really doing much
RE: days replace days - Lennon - February 13, 2018
Lennon couldn’t help but smirk was the pale girl burrowed her face into his coat. He felt so honored to be her shield- to be her anything really. He was distracted from the conversation, but finally redirected his attention on the stranger. When finally recognizing the proposition that Alarian was the leader, he was interested. Though, didn’t dwell on the comment long, in his opinion no one was leader. It wasn’t often he would ever allow one over himself anyway.
RE: days replace days - Sascha - February 19, 2018
when the two in the back, once again, fail to engage, sascha abandons any pretense of paying them attention. alarian (as he introduces himself) claims not to be a leader, just talkative -- sascha doesn't doubt the latter but they suspect the former to still be true, whether they all realise it or not. every group requires a leader by it's nature, whether or not one is formally recognized aside.
"sort-of," sascha says noncomittally, "i've family in the area." they just haven't bothered to.. intergrate with them yet. "what about you?" they ask, casting a critical eye over alarian (and pointedly ignoring the other two). there's no smell of pack clinging to them, but perhaps they're in the process of moving or founding or some such thing that could benefit from a melonii's touch.
RE: days replace days - Alarian - March 07, 2018
The boy couldn't help but shoot Lennon a glare-- why are you leaving this to me?-- but his focus turned quickly back to Sascha. Family in the area-- that got his attention, especially after the trio's encounter with Aditya. His eyes flitted briefly between the directions the aforementioned male had pointed out.
The conversation didn't last much longer, and soon the trio was on their merry way-- and eventually, Ali would realize they were going the wrong way entirely and turn them right around.
We're looking for a pack for Korei. I'm... more of a wanderer.Alarian's gaze had turned back to Sascha, curious and studying now.
Your family-- is that one of the packs around here?
