Summer has arrived. The world has been well at peace, and others seem to be trying to take advantage. They believe we are lazy and complacent. We are no such thing. Remain vigilante, friends and family.
Give your congratulations to Maiko. She has been promoted to Blizzard; she earned it.
We also have an activity check going. Please reply so I can make adjustments accordingly. Check will go for an entire month so we can hopefully capture everyone.
As always, if you have need of me, do not hesitate to find me.
= I Dropped My Halo = IP: 124.170.229.110 Posted on November 2, 2013 at 10:45:02 PM by Heyel
I managed an easy chuckle at Amir’s somewhat…sarcastic words. Now, now Amir, let us not get into a verbal battle, you shall hardly win. Even so I allowed my lips to pull into a grin, flashing white fangs towards him momentarily before neatly crossing my paws before me, waiting for that Nootau fellow to join me atop my boulder. Honestly I am not all that interested in the fish and if the boy impresses me enough I see no reason not to allow him to have it back. I moved briefly to allow the violet of my gaze to travel back towards Vague or Voltaire or whatever it is he has decided to call himself these days, letting my eyes rest upon him for a moment before returning my attention to the white male as his own gaze shifted slightly, viewing something slightly behind myself, ears flicking backward in that moment, my half-missing left ear swivelling at the sudden sound of paws on earth and truly- I’d know those overgrown paws anywhere. I managed something of a snort as my hard-earned fish was unceremoniously removed from my possession, the giant, blackened male that has been my friend and companion for well over ten years grinning back towards me from his own boulder. Despite the somewhat irritated look I managed to force across my features, to be honest, I can never truly bring myself to be anything but pleased in Devil’s company. We have known each other to long, been through entirely too much together and honestly there is very little we have not shared over our years of ruling our kingdoms side-by-side. I still remember celebrating the births of our first litters, as I remember fighting beside him, hunting with him and spending endless hours discussing the injustices of society beneath the tree in Paracon I had used as our meeting point since the day I joined his pack so many years ago before becoming his equal. I let one eye lift slightly as I regarded him.
“Trade you for it? I hardly think so, look at it, it’s all dirty now…..I hardly want it.”
I, for one, am not picking gravel out of my tongue, flashing the dark male another grin as that Nootau fellow moved to join me on the rock, my attention deviating towards him briefly before Voltaire spoke once more, eyes flicking back towards the pair, quite content to continue to watch the show until someone displeased me sufficiently enough that I knocked one of them to the ground and dragged the other out by his tail, with Devil around I may well achieve both at once. Isola does not need disruption and indeed I am hardly going to let them have a yelling match. My ears do not feel like that assault today. I turned only once more as Nootau suddenly leapt, snatching the fish within his jaws and yanking it out from underneath Devil’s paws, springing away like the child he was to bow down playfully, my lips quirking upward into a smirk as I chuckled once more, eyes flicking to Devil.
“Did you just lose your meal to a child? I never thought I’d see the day.”
One ear flicked once more, head turning back towards the boy at his comment. We were slow? Since when did I become slow? Devil, well, he was never all that quick on his feet, I suppose I can understand how it is he might be considered slow. As for myself, well, I am quite sure this I the first time anyway has dared suggest such a thing. I scowled momentarily, meeting Devil’s gaze a moment with amusement before returning my attention to Nootau, still keeping on ear, of course, on Voltaire and Amir, waiting to see exactly what this entire altercation was about. I moved to leap lightly from my rock, striding towards the boy and the fish at his paws with no real purpose, moving to seat myself just before him once more, tall, snowy frame still rather regal if I do say so myself, despite my evident age and really, considering I am the oldest male alive in these lands I think I am allowed to be regal. I met the boys gaze readily.
“Tell me Nootau, why is it you seem to believe I am slow? Have you seen me run? Have you actually seen me perform any tasks requiring speed? Do you have any idea what my job has been since I was six months old?”
One eye lifted, my form shifting slightly, leaning slightly closer towards him, violet gaze firmly held to his own.
“Do you know anything about me, save for perhaps my name? I am inclined to believe you don’t, but, because I find that I quite like you, I might be willing to share a secret of sorts about myself and Devil too, hmmm, yes, I think I will share it.”
Devil, no doubt, was entirely aware of the game I played, the boys attention clearly on myself alone as my left paw slid silently forward through the dust and towards the fish, claws hooking it lightly, dragging it slowly back towards myself as I spoke, dropping my voice rather suddenly as if about to offer some delectable piece of gossip.
“Non opus est celeritas, cum animus habet superiorem.”
(One does not require speed, when one has a superior mind.)
Indeed only Devil would understand the words, despite the black males attempts to pretend he does not comprehend the ancient tongue, a game he has seen fit to play since our earliest days as I abruptly flung the fish backwards and towards Devil, smirk lacing my features as I chuckled once more, tail waving a moment to indeed prove I hardly meant to offend the boy merely teased at him for amusement before I turned to leap back atop my makeshift throne to continue to watch the show. Oh yes, I’ve still got it, greatness knows little about age.
