do what you gotta do [ic joining] - Yildun - January 15, 2014 date; 1.15.14 time; mid-afternoon status; all welcome, though calling for a leader @Hawkeye
RE: do what you gotta do [ic joining] - Hawkeye - January 16, 2014
The inky black wolf padded carefully through the snow that covered her plateau, strengthening scents that faded with the blanket of white. Small crunches could be heard underfoot, a faint squeak reaching Hawkeye's left ear here and there but mostly staying quiet. Freezing mid-step, Hawkeye caught a sorrowful and lonely howl that she stretched her ear to grasp. The call somehow sounded familiar, but she could not place the voice. She shrugged and turned to trot, the crunch, crunch, crunch sounding beneath her feet as she went, a strangely satisfying sound that made her lip quirk into a little smile. But that smile turned to a frown as she saw the male who called. So that's who it was. Red began to form over her vision but a grunt wiped the fogginess away. It would not be professional to lose control, she thought at least. Even if she had, it would have been considered acceptable to her pack since she was Alpha, but none of this crossed her mind. "Yildun," she spoke quietly. "What are you doing on my lands? I thought that you and" - this next part came out roughly - "Koontz left here for good. You have no business here and to show your face is rather stupidly brave on your part." Though he could not see her, she lengthened her chest and neck. A puff of smoke filled the air each time she let out a husky breath. table by houkie RE: do what you gotta do [ic joining] - Yildun - January 16, 2014 say something, i'm giving up on you i'll be the one, if you want me to anywhere i would’ve followed you [size=3]say something, i'm giving up on you[/size] He was feeling a bit nervous, unsure of if he should be there at that moment in time given that he did recognize the scent that lingered in the air. The sound of paws against the snow made him realize that he had spent too much time trying to think about what he should or shouldn’t do, giving sign that it was too late for him to just turn and leave. As the sound neared, her scent grew stronger. He lowered his head, slicking his ears back against his head. The sightless male knew this area. It had once belonged to Koontz. He knew his way around, and he knew where to go if he had to leave in a hurry, which he hoped would not end up being the case. She addressed him and he dipped his head down a little further. Avoiding eye contact was easy for him since he was blind, unable to see her face, forever unable to see the faces of others in general. “Vilocity,” he spoke her name in return, the only name that he knew her by. Inwardly he cringed as she said “my lands” but outwardly showed nothing. “I have not seen her since I got caught away from here, these very lands, in a storm and it washed away my scent trail, leaving me unable to find my way back until now. She’s gone. I know this. I have tried to find her scent, but to no avail.” The sightless young male took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. This was not how he envisioned his day to go. “I am most likely the last being you thought to find at your borders, but here I am,” he began, keeping his head low and ears slicked against his crown. “I have nowhere to go, no place to call home.” Yildun sighed at his own words, feeling the pain as his own words fully sank in. “I am here to humbly, very humbly, ask to be able to call here home. I know this territory. Having lived here I know every inch, every rock, every tree, every nook, every cranny.” Being this humble was hard, especially since the two of them didn’t exactly get along, but he was doing what he knew he had to do. Lowering himself further, his entire body and not just his head, he could feel the coldness against his stomach, causing him to shiver lightly. “Please…” His voice quivered, be it from the cold or from groveling it was unknown. “Don’t turn me away. I may not be able to hunt with the pack, but there are other things that I can be useful for. Place me at the lowest possible of your ranks, but please… don’t turn me away…” RE: do what you gotta do [ic joining] - Hawkeye - January 16, 2014
Hawkeye impatiently listened to his words, slipping in a "I go by 'Hawkeye' now" over his soliloquy; but, she let him speak his piece after that. She kept her mouth shut and stared into the milky eyes of the male. Though he was blind, she could still see emotion marred into his eyes. "And what of our last encounter? You two took everything I said the wrong way. Do you remember, Yildun? I thought we could have been close friends. I did not pity you or think you incapable of tasks. I had never met another wolf that was handicapped -- whether you believe it or not, no matter how skilled we become, you will never have your sight and my hearing will always be fucked up." Hawkeye growled the last portion out, spitting the words. "I have no doubt you could hold your own weight, and I would never believe otherwise, but both you and Koontz were out of line that day; now, look who stands here. Me. Obviously, I am the stronger wolf. Not your old 'Alpha'." She mocked Koontz with the last word, getting a high off of the angry tangent that she had just gone off on. Maybe she was being a bit childish, but she didn't care; she was upset and an emotional wolf. table by houkie RE: do what you gotta do [ic joining] - Yildun - January 16, 2014

Lowering her head in defeat, she sighed. "Stand up, Yildun. You look pathetic right now." Wincing at her own harsh tone, she slipped out a quick "sorry", but then continued on. "You will be a sigma, but you must pull your own weight as well. Rising in the ranks is fair game, and I will not give you special treatment, something I know you must hate, anyway. I suppose we all make mistakes sometimes; you are forgiven." She thought to the embarrassing day when she entered Neverwinter Forest and had to submit to wolves that were ranked lower than she, and she groaned inwardly. The large wolf walked over to Yildun and pressed her nose to his throat in a gentle way, trying to show him that all was forgiven and okay -- if Koontz were to return, though, she supposed his true colors would shine in that moment. table by houkie RE: do what you gotta do [ic joining] - Yildun - January 17, 2014 I am so sorry this took me forever. Yesterday and today have been... just ugh.
RE: do what you gotta do [ic joining] - Hawkeye - January 21, 2014 Hawkeye backed up and sighed. "Just please make sure that this was worth it, Yildun. I don't want to tell myself later that I made a mistake letting you into the ranks." She stretched herself, groaning in the process and then nearly giggled at what Yildun might think she was doing with the weird noise. "The den is where the old one was, but I expanded and made another entrance. There are a few caches around, and Peregrine has been filling them up like a good boy, so those are open to you as well. Not much has changed around here, except, you know, there being a better pack living on the lands and all." A smile showed on her voice with the last sentence, and she couldn't help but make jokes about being the more successful pack (considering they were still around). table by houkie RE: do what you gotta do [ic joining] - Yildun - January 21, 2014 Very sorry for the delay. Weekends are 100% for my kiddo. Plus having to get this school garbage sorted out... I've been mentally beat lol say something, i'm giving up on you i'll be the one, if you want me to anywhere i would’ve followed you [size=3]say something, i'm giving up on you[/size] “I won’t make you regret it,” is the response he gave, along with a faint dipping of his head. He wouldn’t have gone through all of this otherwise because why would he want to have to be this humble toward anyone? No, he would not purposely do anything to make her regret letting him into the pack. That would be like shooting himself in the foot, so to speak. Honestly, Yildun thought nothing of the groan that came from her, other than maybe she was starting to have second thoughts about letting him into the pack. He really hoped that wasn’t the case. His ears twitched, slightly, as he listened to her. “Um… I only ever shared a den with my sister,” he chimed in. There hadn’t been a communal den or whatever when he had been here as part of Koontz’ pack. He did find himself wondering if his secret place was still secret, but wasn’t about to ask that out loud cause then it wouldn’t be his secret place anymore. He swallowed a sigh that was trying to rise in his throat at the cutting “joke” in regards to his former pack. Yildun did wonder if this was something he was going to be stuck having to hear from her often as a way of basically shoving it into his face. “Okay,” was all he answered in return. RE: do what you gotta do [ic joining] - Hawkeye - January 22, 2014
The pitch black wolf frowned slightly at the response to her joke. He didn't seem to think it was funny, and she figured that at least Peregrine or Pied would find it humorous. She shrugged it off, a little annoyed; it was true that this was the better pack, and Yildun would see this in time. Sighing, she said, "well, we can part ways here, or I can show you a few of the caches that are around, though I am sure you could easily smell them when you pass by." Hawkeye suddenly wondered if she was making a mistake or not, but time would tell whether the uneasiness that was now carried in her body would stay or go. table by houkie |
