Post by Claudius on Feb 7, 2013 13:25:15 GMT -5
Claudius arrived at the brook, out of puff as the big wolf usually was. He had been overtaken by Mikazaru somewhere along the way, and he had given a "tsk" of annoyance when he did. He had wanted the younger wolf to stay and rest, and recuperate. Obviously he wasn't going to take Claudius' advice, to stay and rest.
With a huff, he arrived just as Agro was leaving, singing a song as he did so. As Agro disappeared, and the last few lines of the song became inaudible, Claudius laughed along with the last few lines of the song, breathlessly as he tried to get his breathing back to normal.
With a grunt, he turned back to Mikazaru. "What did I say about resting? Never mind, you didn't take my advice, and I guess that's the end of it."
Claudius' eyes drifted towards the female who Mikazaru had addressed, and felt relieved. So the female had been found, much to his relief. He was worried that she had injured herself, the way she had run through the hunt the way she had. He felt that he should know her from somewhere, but he couldn't think where.
"Hello, young lady. I'm glad you've been found there, you had us worried."[/i] Speaking of worry, there was something about the area that made Claudius nervous. He knew what a coyote was, of course, and seen a dead one, but he had never got the chance to smell a living one. A dangerous one.
But Agro had gone in a hurry, and Claudius didn't like it. The smell he could smell wasn't a welcoming one. No, he didn't like it one bit.
"Hey, Mika, since you don't seem to want to rest, would you mind taking care of the young lady? I need to go and see what's up with Agro."[/i] With that, Claudius turned and ran as fast as he could. He was determined not to fall: something was terribly wrong, and he didn't like it. He hadn't missed the fact that the pups had gone too. "I hope they're all okay," the young warrior thought, ignoring the fact that blood still trickled from his neck and his leg and onto his white coat.

''What did I say about resting? Never mind, you didn't take my advice, and I guess that's the end of it.'', Mikazaru heard a familair voice and he turned around to see Claudius standing behind him.
It scared him a bit, but he knew he could have expected this, as he actually had followed Claudius' scent all the way back to the stream. He knew he could have come into this kind of trouble.
''I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... I just became worried being all alone, I hate being all alone...'', Mikazaru mumbled, his tail between his hind legs in fear and his ears flat against his head. He was shivering, not sure what to expect from the Meister. ''It won't happen again, I promise. I just don't like to be left alone...''
''Hello, young lady. I'm glad you've been found there, you had us worried. Hey, Mika, since you don't seem to want to rest, would you mind taking care of the young lady? I need to go and see what's up with Agro.''
Mikazaru nodded, smiling; he could do that. He was good at taking care of others, or keep an eye on them when needed. He was glad Claudius' response to him disobeying Cladius' order wasn't all that bad after all. And he was given a nice task, a task which didn't leave him he all alone.
As Claudius ran off after Agro, Mikazaru turned around to take a look at the female he had been told to look after.
''You didn't tell me your name yet. I'm Mikazaru, by the way.'', he said, smiling. Claudius had told him to look after this female, so of course he had to start fresh, which was by making contact, being friendly.

The little female seemed to have been shored up emotionally, but was still distraught. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying, and she sniffed. But, the two wolves had promised to find Tristan for her, so she had to remain optimistic.
The arrival of another male surprised her. She must have walked right into Blacktalon central, or something. "Oh, I'm sorry." She said shyly. Usually Tristan did the talking. Issy was by nature a very shy wolf, unless she was very upset about something. "My nam is Issy." She said. "And thank you again, for all the help. You and your Guild. Papa wasn't sure about you, he didn't really like that wolf with one eye, but you've all been so kind to me."
She didn't know who was a member of the Guild and who had just appeared. For those who weren't in the Azalea pack, she simply assumed they were from the Blacktalon.
Suddenly, her brow furrowed. "Goodness, are you hurt?" She asked.

''My name is Issy. Goodness, are you hurt?''
Mikazaru looked up and realized he still carried this wound with him. He took a glance at his side, then he looked back at the female who called herself Issy. She seemed like shy wolf, just as him.
He didn't know how to respond to her question, because he was hurt, but he didn't like to admit it. So he shook his head and added: ''Nah, it's not as bad as it looks like.''
He sat down near the female, his tail curled around his paws. He still didn't know what was going on as he just had gotten here, so he started to ask questions again.
''So, what's going on? Why are you here? And why are the others gone?''
He didn't feel nervous at all around this female, as she seemed to be just as quiet as him around new wolves. Somehow it made him feel less shy.
Mostly he would actually feel more shy.

She had a sad look in her eyes, and an uncertainty to her words. "I'm in the Azalea pack." Said said softly. "My daddy is the alpha. And my Tristan is a healer. Or, he was. He asked me if I would be his mate, and of course I said yes. But... Daddy said no! He thinks Tristan's not a match for me, but I love him so much!" She whimpered.
"Daddy threw him out of the pack, but your friends are going to try to help me find him. Then me and Tristan are going to go start our own pack." She said with a smile. "Far away from here. No more of Daddy's bossing, or the others being mean to Tristan. He's a good wolf, really, with a big heart! But oh, I guess I don't know why he wants to be a healer so bad. He's a much better hunter." She seemed meek, shy about talking of her love's flaws. Well, where they were going they'd need a hunter more than those other ranks.

The whole time Mikazaru listened carefully, and he nodded a few times, telling this Issy he understood what she was saying. He had never had a love in his life, but he understood Issy was upset with it.
She had a very bossy father, she told him, and he knew the feeling of being bossed around his whole life. Even thought he had not felt love before, he could understand Issy's feelings.
He smiled at Issy, trying to comfort her and he wagged his tail a few times.
''Don't worry, I'm sure the Guild members will find your Tristan. Until he's found, they will try their best.'', he said and he sat down. He looked at his side and snorted; the wound was still there, and stinging. It was less worse, but it still hurt. ''I wish I could help with the search, too, but I don't think I will be able to with this wound. And Claudius told me to look after you until Tristan is found...''
He looked up at her and shook his thought away, putting a fake smile on his face, because it was Issy's problem this moment was about, not his. ''But well, that's how it is I guess.''

((Sorry about the wait, Mika, verrry long couple of days at work. ^_^ I'll try to be better))
Issy sighed, looking longingly in the direction the Guild members had gone. She hoped he was right. The longer they were gone, the more she worried. To her, Tristan was one of the fastest and strongest wolves in the whole wide world. If he kept running, they'd never catch him, no matter how good they were.
"I don't need a babysitter!" She said suddenly, defensively, as Mika explained his job. She quickly crumpled into a more apologetic stance. "Oh, I didn't mean..." She tried to explain, stuttering. "It's just that, um, well, everyone's always telling me what to do, and where to go, and even now who can or cannot be my mate." She said. "I'm all grown up now. But everyone looks at me like I'm still a puppy. My sisters all have mates now, and they're my age. I'm just the littlest." She was also her father's favorite, a typically boisterous and merry little wolf. Tristan loved her for the same reasons.

''I don't need a babysitter!''
Mikazaru didn't even have the good time to react. The sudden reaction of Issy scared him, and he froze as he looked at her in confusion. But he didn't have time for emotional feelings, as mostly, as Issy immediately kept on talking again.
''Oh, I didn't mean... It's just that, um, well, everyone's always telling me what to do, and where to go, and even now who can or cannot be my mate. I'm all grown up now. But everyone looks at me like I'm still a puppy. My sisters all have mates now, and they're my age. I'm just the littlest.''
Mikazaru nodded understanding, stretched his limbs and sat back down, curling his tail around his paws.
''I see.'', he said and he became quiet, as he has no idea what to talk about next. All he could think of was if this Guild was going to accept him for real. He knew you had to swear some sort of Oath, but he didn't know when was the right time for him.
He wanted to become a real part of this Guild as soon as possible, because he didn't want to lose a new family he had made.
He then realized he had drifted off in his own thoughts a little, and looked up at Issy. ''I'm sorry for not really responding, I was thinking of something else for a moment...''
That, and it was mixed with his shy feelings. After all he was still shy around other wolves.
''Shall we move somewhere else or shall we stay here? It's just that I don't feel like sitting around here all day.''

Issy gave the other a weak smile. "If you don't mind, I'd like to stay here and wait for Tristan." She said softly, looking away. "I always told him that this would be the place where I'd wait for him. Whenever he went out for lessons, or I had to go with Daddy to see the lands." She laid with her head resting on her paws.
"Before, he always came here, right when I expected him. He's never let me down before.... I hope he doesn't this time, either." She still sounded sad, but less upset than she had been. Perhaps it was because she felt in her heart that he would come back, or maybe she had resigned herself to the loss of her beloved.
After a quiet moment, she stood back up. "Mikazaru, thank you for waiting with me for a while, but I think now I would like to wait for Tristan by myself." She smiled, and had it not been for the fur on her muzzle she would have seemed to blush. "Tristan can be a little jealous of other males..."
"Will you tell your guild that I thank them for their help?" She asked with a wag of her tail.

Mikazaru smiled at the female and nodded.
''I'm sure he will come back. I think the others will find him soon enough.'', he said and he looked up at the sky. He scratched behind his ear with his rear paw, taking away an annoying itch.
After a while Issy got up again and she looked at Mikazaru, who looked back at her.
''Mikazaru, thank you for waiting with me for a while, but I think now I would like to wait for Tristan by myself. Tristan can be a little jealous of other males... Will you tell your guild that I thank them for their help?''
''Oh, um, alright. Sure, no problem at all.'', Mikazaru mumbled and he stood up himself, too. He stretched his limbs, then looked at Issy. ''I guess they will need my help for Bloomsday anyway. I haven't really checked on them for a while. But sure, I will tell them.''
He turned around and scanned the air, trying to find a scent of the others so he would get back to them easily. He turned around to look back at Issy for one last time, and said: ''Good luck with waiting for your Tristan. If he hasn't come back yet after a while or if you need any help, just contact one of us and we will come to help you.''
He gave the female a smile before running off into the distance.
He hoped Issy would find back Tristan and that the others still needed his help for the Bloomsday preparations.

Post by Marina on Feb 28, 2013 17:21:45 GMT -5
Marina sped across towards the river, or rather stumbled. What a day! These two were finally going to be together. Tristan was a Seamus after all, and they were going to - oh, it was too happy! Almost like a romance story; someday she might even tell it to her children.
Not that I'm ever having children, she reminded herself sharply.
From Issy's position by the stream, Marina could be heard before she was seen. "Issy!" she was crying. "Issy, look what we've found for you!"
She didn't stop at the young lady, but instead jumped clear over her and splashed into the stream, rolling and reveling in the clean water. The already-dried mud flew off her body in large chips, revealing her dotted coat beneath. Her coat was clean and shiny again, if a little dry.
"Anyway..." Marina sloshed out of the stream without bothering to shake herself, and stood dripping in front of the damsel in distress. "We found him - moping and pining away for you like a good boy. I ran ahead to tell you. He's on his way!"
