Get with me if you want to move up in rank. I'm going to change up the pack tasks for a little change of pace.
Congratulations to Adrian on her promotion to Governess. She will handle the guidance and teaching of our young pups in Iromar.
If you have a ^ next to your name, that means you're up for promotion so see me or send me a message on Discord so we can see where to move you. All others interested in specializing or getting a rank, let me know so we can figure out how to make that happen.
The pack board has been updated. If you wanted to remain a member, let me know either on here or Discord and I'll get you back on the board. Otherwise, let's have a thread!
I know I had a couple replies for the training with Spirane so I will be starting that thread soon. Stay tuned!
I am still working on an alliance with Diveen and Asteraia so stay tuned. If you have any information or would like to help, please let me know. If anyone has any ideas to promote activity within the pack, also, let me know. I am open for plots and such! Meanwhile, thank you all for your continued support of the pack.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO BLOOM IP: 108.245.133.46 Posted on December 18, 2014 at 02:30:09 AM by AITHNE
(No worries it was fine for me :P)
Part of her had wondered if the male had run off in the night, deciding to forgo the comforts of a pack life or the offering of a shared meal on the morrow, yet as she stands firm outside of his den she can hear the tell-tale scraping of his claws against the rough earth and the slide of his body as he awakens. How long had it been since he had slept in the confines of a den knowing that none would bother him? Yet the moment he peeks out of the den looking more worse for the wear Aithne immediately recognizes the groggy look in his eye as that of a wolf who had spent the night tossing and turning. His lovely fur attested to that and her eyes dipped down to it even as he quickly began to groom himself. She was impervious to it; it didn't matter what he looked like to her really, he had his reasons, just as long as he didn't stink. Aithne was not much one for a smelly companion despite living in the moors with the perpetual smell of rot that one grew accustomed to.
While he groomed swiftly she shook out her own fur, the muscles and fat around her shoulders jerking back and forth with her powerful movement before standing fur laid down smoothly and he blinked his reply to her. That would have to suffice. Her own belly clenched in agitation at having gone so long without being bloated, her preferred state of bliss, and when he agrees with her Aithne's hackles rise in anticipation.
Alligators were not simple creatures to kill and even a medium sized one often took two wolves to slaughter. She pads away from Kneph's temporary den, circling around a small pond of untouched water that sported lily pads and poking debris from within. The closer they grow to a larger body of water the louder the hissing and growling becomes. Instinctively her body moves towards a small rise of dirt big enough for the both of them and she pauses on the top as she glances past the twisted, dying fronds to see the edge of the water.
Had they all come out today? It certainly seemed like it. Knowing that the male would be beside her she is more focused on which one to pick, her eyes darting across a few heavier beasts that had clearly won the spoils of their wars often enough. They were the kind that should only be approached with another of more experience hunting such lizards - and only when it was separate from so many. In this way she quickly marked off the ones she had no interest in vying with until she spied, some fifteen feet down the bank on their right a smaller alligator. His body would fill both of them well with very little left over and he had positioned himself away from the others knowing his youth and size would afford him little in the way of protection against the greater beasts.
Aithne's ears flatten as she looks at the creature, turning her head and flicking her eyes to Kneph then deliberately to the one she has picked up. "They are difficult to kill. If you get atop them they tend to roll and despite their size, they are quite powerful. So we need to get to the bottom of it's neck," which was just as difficult considering it rested quite firmly against the ground, "Without getting stuck between those jaws. If you can dart in around to his tail and distract him - but be quick so he does not catch you - I should be able to get him under the jaw when he turns to bite you. Okay?" Now she grins suddenly, a feral sort of gleam in her eye that reveals her excitement in this moment even though Kneph would probably be regretting hunting with her in this moment.
