one-way ticket to the sun - Galileo - December 08, 2014 for @Kaskara :)
i'm gonna assume this is a day after the meeting
It was another winter morning, and again the clock had begun to race, what had at first felt like seconds turned quickly into minutes which later joined together to turn into hours. He had been laying in the cold floor of his den for at least two hours now, his legs twisted beneath his body as he stared ahead into the empty spaces over the rock walls of his home. RE: one-way ticket to the sun - Kaskara - December 09, 2014 Yay, a thread with Gali! :) Since the fight with those two black curs and then the pack meeting, Kaskara had kept a vigilant patrol of the borders. Morning and night, she would take a wide sweep of the entire creek territory, marking the border fresh, watching for intruders, and generally making sure things were good on the home front. Then, between her duties as beta of accepting wolves and intercepting loners and settling any disputes that might arise, as well as hunting for the cache (which was full again, thank the stars), she would check on the border nearest the Bypass. It became habit, really, and it was something that she hoped wouldn't become a permanent one. It was during one of these sweeps of the borders that Kaskara happened upon Galileo. She knew him by sight and name, but she couldn't remember if they had ever met or talked about anything outside pack meetings. Deciding today was the day that was going to change, she sped up and called, "Hey, Galileo! You going somewhere?" RE: one-way ticket to the sun - Galileo - December 11, 2014 <3
The peppered male kept his nose close to the ground as he continued to approach to the invisible line that separated the pack's territory for the rest of the Wilds. He had begun to loose the hope he would run into someone, and while his pace had slowed down he was beginning to formulate the explanation he would give his superiors when he returned. He could have turned around and seek out Scimitar or the newly appointed Beta himself, but honestly he could not stand a second more standing on this ground. RE: one-way ticket to the sun - Kaskara - December 18, 2014 Kaskara's thoughts echoed Galileo's almost perfectly: it wouldn't be good if he went missing with the Shadow situation still not under control. But Kaskara wasn't about to forbid him from leaving; he was a long standing member and he was looking to further his own knowledge, which made him more useful and valuable to their pack. "Before I came to the creek, I lived in a pack in the flatlands," she smiled, explaining as she fell in step next to him. "It's definitely an interesting area. Are you looking for anything specific?" Maybe if she knew what he was looking for, she'd know if Blue or Junior would be helpful. She would go with him if she could, but it didn't seem likely right now. "Ah, Naturalist. I'm more of a warden and warrior type. I wasn't ever very good with predicting the weather. The only thing I know how to predict is rain." She held up her forearm briefly, motioning toward the long-faded scar hidden by her fur there. "I nearly broke it on the cliffs when I was little. My mother bound it and forbade me from playing or wrestling for weeks. Since then, though, my leg always aches right before it rains." RE: one-way ticket to the sun - Galileo - December 20, 2014
Though the memories of what had been discussed during the past meeting were not as crystal clear as he would've liked them to be, the peppered man was more than certain that under Scimitar's competent command and his fellow packmates capable care, his presence would not be required during the birthing and protection of the children. Unlike everyone else in the Creek, Galileo had voiced his empathy towards the Bypass ruler so even if he were required to stay, chances were his presence would end up being more of a nuisance than a convenience. RE: one-way ticket to the sun - Kaskara - December 21, 2014 She knew that being a Naturalist wasn't all about predicting the weather, but it was the part of the trade she understood best. She laughed at her own joke, trying to ease the tension in the air, "I know weather prediction isn't the only thing Naturalists do." Then she fell silent and wondered if Galileo thought her brother had made a mistake choosing her as beta, wondered if all the wolves thought that of her. She was trying her best, and while she hadn't faced anything particularly demanding quite yet, Kas hoped she was doing the job well. She hoped they'd tell her if she wasn't. "To be honest, I didn't get around much when I lived there," she confessed, looking sheepishly into Galileo's eyes before turning to look around them again. They were loping toward the borders at a leisurely pace, but it wouldn't be long before they would have to part for their separate duties. "But if you wanted to know about it, you could ask Blue Willow. She's the beta at the Plateau pack, at least she was the last time I visited." Kas wondered how they were doing and decided to visit as soon as she could. "At the very least, she would be able to point you in the right direction." RE: one-way ticket to the sun - Galileo - December 23, 2014
The hard angles in which the peppered male's features laid had nothing to do with the female, yet unwittingly it had sent the wrong message to her. Though this was the very first time he exchanged more than a 'hello' with the female, he had already known she was going to be a good Beta. Maybe he could not predict the weather with his leg, but he could identify a good wolf when he saw one. RE: one-way ticket to the sun - Kaskara - January 04, 2015 Kas chuckled and nodded, understanding his intentions: they both had their strengths and weaknesses, and she definitely wasn't a naturalist by any means. Though she didn't know what troubled Galileo, she hoped that he found whatever he was looking for in those springs, and returned swiftly and safely. "I'll let him know," she promised with a nod of her slender muzzle. "I hope your travels are safe and swift, and that you returned with knowledge to help you become the naturalist." Kaskara hadn't spoken much to him before, and this was getting a bit weird on her end. She could be so awkward sometimes. "When you return, come find me. I'd like to hear about your adventure." She smiled, hoping that he would indeed find her after his trek, and they could get to know one another. She didn't know his story at all, and she wanted to know each packmate as well as she could. RE: one-way ticket to the sun - Galileo - January 06, 2015 sorry for the delay I have been neglecting Gali lately :(
Would you mind closing in your next post?<3
The shackles that kept him tied to the Creek were strong, but even now they had been outweighed by the heavy sense of discomfort and confusion clouding his thoughts. Even if he did not wish to leave the Creek for more than a few days, he also knew that he would not be able to stand a second longer within the confinement of the Creek's territory. RE: one-way ticket to the sun - Kaskara - January 08, 2015 No problem on both counts! :) Let's have another thread when Gali gets back!
Kaskara wasn't sure what was wrong with Galileo, but she hoped that he would be alright. He had been a member as long as she had, if not longer, and she didn't want him to leave for any preventable reason. If there was anything she could do to make his life easier, she would. She respected him not only as a member of the creek but also because he was her elder by two years and had seen more of the world than she could have ever dreamed. She nodded with a smile. "Have a safe trip, Galileo. I'll see you when you get back." Kaskara paused at the border and watched him continue on. She stood there for a long time until he was no longer visible and finally turned around to find Scimitar, to tell him of their member's intentions. Though she didn't know him well, he would make a good counselor, and she wished Scimitar would utilize his skills more. |
