he broke his own heart and i watched. - Summer Ostrega - December 05, 2014 Tytonidae seemed to be settling in comfortably to life at the Sunspire, a fact for which Summer was thoroughly elated. Ever since he'd met her, their every encounter had been tainted with some form of distress or another whether it was the pain of missing her mother or the pain that her sisters had caused her. He hoped quite fervently that being away from them now and in a place where maybe her mother might one day return (as slim as the chances were) might bring peace to the young girl's heart so that he could see her light and free of the burden of pain as he lately had been. There was still the matter of Lasher's request, however, that as far as the Ostrega knew had not been fulfilled. Though he'd been against sending any of their wolves to the Plateau to inform them of their juvenile's safety, he lately had been rethinking the positives of doing so. The good seemed to be about even with the bad, but one fact outweighed them all in Summer's mind: keeping the peace with Ty's former pack meant keeping her safe within the Sunspire's borders. He needed the Plateau to trust them to take care of her, and he wanted them specifically to trust him. Which is why the dark-pelted yearling tossed his head back that day to call for @Amekaze or @Jace to join him at Sunshadow Rock, so that he could discuss the matter with them and to get their blessing to take the task upon himself.

First, there was Vienna's healing, which was slow but made its progress, and Jace's decisions in regard to such. This led her to the next obvious matter of the cougar that still roamed free and how she was supposed to keep her wolves safe from its teeth and claws, or find the damned thing, kill it, and use its furs to line a den without getting maimed herself... Then came Rain, who she had allowed to go out on her journey across the wilds to gain information and see the sights. Ame was anxiously awaiting her return and tried to be patient, but it was difficult. She wanted to see her come back safely (and not with cougar claw marks adorning her silvery form) and then, which was of slightly less priority, was hearing what she had learned out there. Ame's own travels were less frequent.. and with no foreseeable opportunities to roam abroad on her own. She'd have to live vicariously through Rain's pawsteps for now. This was on top of all her usual topics of consideration that ranged everywhere across the spectrum, from new joiners to long time faces. So, when the mind became to busy, she found it was some strange therapy to keep the body even busier.. which came in the form of hunting lately. Rabbits, pheasants, squirrels, shrews, woodrats, mice.. whatever she could manage to flush out of hiding, she pursued to mixed results. Right now, she was huffing to herself as her defeat was to be reluctantly accepted. The little rabbit had veered just one too many times and lost her. While she slinked on, eyes sharp for sight of a new quarry, the call was noted. She paused, listened, and adjusted her course not long after. Ame could do with something besides chasing to focus on, if only for a little while; she loped his way, towards Sunshadow Rock. She arrived with a swishing tail and set her eyes on Summer right away. In the midst of all things considered, he was there as well, both with his recent graduation to the adult ranks and the whole Tytonidae situation. RE: he broke his own heart and i watched. - Summer Ostrega - December 07, 2014 Had Summer known all of the details of what had been happening with his packmates, he probably wouldn't have even brought up the task he was about to with his alpha. Although he had quite lofty ambitions and ideas about what his place in the pack ought to be, he was still quite young and naive. He was too preoccupied with his own interests to notice that Rain was missing and that Vienna's injury had caused a change in Jace's priorities. He had yet to learn that to lead meant looking upon the whole pack and putting it before himself. No, Summer's thoughts had been on Ty, how to take care of her, how to make her happy, and how to tie up the loose ends that threatened to harm the healing she had yet to do. And now they were on Ame who approached him then as he'd requested. He leaned towards her to brush his muzzle respectfully upon her chin, in typical wolfish greeting fashion. Not wanting to waste her time as he knew how important it was, he decided to get right to the point. "I wanted to discuss Tytonidae with you," he said, "And the matter of the Plateau. They had requested we notify them if she returned. I wanted to know if that was a request you wished for us to honor, and if so, if you would allow me to fulfill it for the pack." RE: he broke his own heart and i watched. - Amekaze - December 10, 2014 <style type="text/css">.ame {margin:auto; width:530px; text-align:justify;font-size:11px;} .ame q {color:#7a2638; font-family:georgia;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:1.3px;} .ame p {margin:0px;text-indent:30px;}</style> She settled not long after affectionately tapping her muzzle to his cheek when he was in close for a greeting. Then, he wasted little time going right to the point and she remained unsurprising of the subject matter. While still trying to understand the depths of all Tytonidae had experienced, and what it was that had driven her entirely from her birthplace, it was glaringly obvious there was a bond between them already -- no matter how fledgling it may have been for the time being.
The Plateau was greeted with much indifference. She had once been much more wary when Fox had become one of theirs, but, although she did not know this for certain, she guessed she had left to lead elsewhere with Peregrine. RE: he broke his own heart and i watched. - Summer Ostrega - December 11, 2014 Summer sighed gently with relief when Amekaze began to speak. His alpha was intent upon letting the Plateau know of Ty's well-being, it just wasn't as much of a priority to her than other things. He ought to have wondered what those other distractions were, but he was focused on the matter at hand, and also at his relief that she would permit him to be the one to deliver that news. "Thank you, Ame," Summer replied with a smile and a gentle wag of his tail. He listened as she continued, his head tilting thoughtfully as she spoke of wanting to learn more about the pack. "I would be happy to inquire about whatever it is you'd like to know when I'm there," he reassured her, "Lasher seemed like an amiable man, and in all of my talks with Ty, it does not appear that he is one with whom she has been feuding. I'll definitely do my best to make sure it's his audience I receive." RE: he broke his own heart and i watched. - Amekaze - December 14, 2014 <style type="text/css">.ame {margin:auto; width:530px; text-align:justify;font-size:11px;} .ame q {color:#7a2638; font-family:georgia;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:1.3px;} .ame p {margin:0px;text-indent:30px;}</style> So long as Tytonidae was well, and settling in as neatly as she could be all things considered, Ame wasn't going to fret over her.
Then, on Lasher, she nodded. RE: he broke his own heart and i watched. - Summer Ostrega - December 17, 2014 Summer listened attentively as Ame explained what it was she wished to know about the Plateau. It was not his intent to be an outrider for the Sunspire--that was a job for an adventurous soul like Vienna or Sumayl. What he wanted to know was what it was an Alpha felt towards other packs and how such would act towards them. He had his own ideas on relations between neighbors, but Amekaze was the only real alpha he'd ever known besides the one who'd abandoned them, and so it was her lead he would trust and follow. "Did you have any hope of making them our allies?" he asked suddenly and far too boldly for his own comfort. He immediately felt awkward, and continued with a somewhat uncomfortable explanation of his words, "I mean.. with things with the Creek still to tense and with Winter at our door... I would think that it wouldn't hurt to know we have trusted friends nearby..." In truth, Summer felt no need for any allied outside of their orders. The Spire was strong and self-sufficient, there was nothing that could be gained from a friendship with outsiders, only lost when they began to fail while the Spire thrived. But there was Ty now, and Summer would not have the Plateau coming to their door demanding her back because they felt his pack was an enemy. RE: he broke his own heart and i watched. - Amekaze - December 23, 2014 <style type="text/css">.ame {margin:auto; width:530px; text-align:justify;font-size:11px;} .ame q {color:#7a2638; font-family:georgia;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:1.3px;} .ame p {margin:0px;text-indent:30px;}</style> His question did come with a slight surprise, and her expression arced accordingly. It was a good question, no doubt, just not one she had anticipated here from Summer. Perhaps she was more distrustful than necessary, but her in homeland, allies had been a well-founded bond built of ties greater than that of just general location proximity. They were the relatives or sometimes even just the former close comrades -- the splinter packs were only testament to an original pack's overgrowth. Since she hardly knew any wolves of the Plateau at this time, none of this really applied.
RE: he broke his own heart and i watched. - Summer Ostrega - December 28, 2014 Summer listened quietly as Amekaze explained her views on becoming allies with the Plateau. He got the feeling that an alliance meant more to his alpha than the idea he had in his head of it. His was a more basic definition--a pack that they were on good terms with that they could count on to have their backs if any ill befell them and vice versa. It was not something Summer typically had any interest in himself being the territorial and protective wolf he was. But if being allies with the Plateau meant keeping Ty, then he was more than willing to make connections wherever needed. "You're right of course," Summer replied after a moment of thought, "I'll make nice with them and learn what I can." The black wolf smiled then and dipped his muzzle. He was eager to be on his way. They had been lucky thus far that the Winter hadn't been too harsh. As long as it stayed that way on his voyage, all would be well. "I want to go let Ty know of my intentions," he said, "Is there anything else you'd ask of me before I go?" RE: he broke his own heart and i watched. - Amekaze - January 02, 2015 <style type="text/css">.ame {margin:auto; width:530px; text-align:justify;font-size:11px;} .ame q {color:#7a2638; font-family:georgia;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:1.3px;} .ame p {margin:0px;text-indent:30px;}</style> Since they had never needed allies before, it was not high on her list. In fact, she scarcely heard of alliances in this Teekon region at all. If there ever came a time in the future where they might benefit greatly from some alliance, she would revisit the idea in full detail then. Until that happened, it was just something she was open to letting develop if truly necessary, but significant effort wouldn't go towards making it happen. They were just fine without.
RE: he broke his own heart and i watched. - Summer Ostrega - January 03, 2015 Amekaze's words caused a wry smile to flit briefly across his muzzle. "I don't think there will ever come a day when I'm not," he said truthfully. With all that they had been through with the beasts, Summer likely would always be on the lookout for one of those monsters. They'd done too much damage to his loved ones. Their conversation at an end, Summer dipped his muzzle respectfully to his alpha. "Thank you again," he said with a smile before turning to canter off into the Spire, intent upon searching for Ty to get her permission now on the same matter. |
