call it what you will - Gent - Jul 11, 2016
For @Miccha only.
Dated for July 11th. Clear weather, mid afternoon. [dohtml] It seemed natural once more to roam the Blackberry Fields, without the tweedle of ghosts reaching out to him to pull him off the path. No longer did he think of what used to be here, of all the encounters he'd had amongst the unfriendly bushes. His mind was now free of such fogs, focused instead on the clear and bright future. At last with a pack that didn't need constant watching over, he could breathe and travel (only now and then, as spare time was much better spent with the children) as he used to be able to what felt like so long ago. Stretching his legs now amongst the tangles of the berry-bearing growth, he sought not the sickening blackberries but the clusters of white yarrow that grew amongst them. It was a small plant that was excellent for so many things, and while the hardest (physical) portion of child rearing was over for @Raela, Gent still made sure to cater to her every need and ensure that she did not suffer any maladies. And the others too, he supposed. Not that they had given any cause for concern, each of them fit as a fiddle. Normally, @Sylva would be brought along on such a venture, but today, Gent was enjoying being alone with his thoughts. There was always next time, anyways.

RE: call it what you will - Gent - Oct 30, 2016 Ah, there some was, a rather healthy cluster hidden under the brambles of one of the berry-bearing bushes. Gent bowed down to eye it, half debating just leaving this one be. While his time in Black Thorn Downs had served to make him quite used to rooting through such agitating brush, that was quite a long time ago now. Anyways, these berries reaked, but... it was for Raela, and this was indeed a prime bunch to pick. With a sigh he crept forward, and slipped his muzzle under the hanging leaves to gather a few stems betwixt his teeth and pull them lose. The work was distracting enough that he did not sense another wolf entering the area. It wasn't until he had gotten enough to be satisfied, deposited it on cleared ground, and rolled back his shoulders that he breathed in the other man's scent. His head turned as Miccah called out, and a polite smile crept onto his muzzle as he nodded his acknowledgment. "Miccah," he returned, before joking, "come all this way for a bouquet too?" completely unaware that he had more or less hit the nail on the head.

RE: call it what you will - Gent - Jan 17, 2017 Ah, close enough, Gent learned. @Miccah wasn't here for practicality but rather sentimentality. As the other man motioned toward the berry-bearing brush, the fellow king's own snout wrinkled slightly. He could definitely understand the distaste. There were many things he disliked about the shrubs, and it had been a long time since he'd had any reason to ignore that. Then, for a moment, his pale eyes turned thoughtful as they regarded their surroundings. Had Minka loved the blackberry bushes? Was that why they had moved here, ignoring the proximity of the Woodlands? He'd never asked. Would never know. Hm. "Can't blame you, I'm not fond of them myself. Took quite a while to get accustomed to the stench when I was with the Downs," he shared, before answering the question about Raela with a smile. "She's wonderful, as are the children," his lips pulled back as his expression widened into a proud grin, "three of 'em, two girls and a boy." He needn't mention the scare they both had had during the birth, nor that Lucia's small size was potentially troubling. Those hiccups aside, they were perfectly healthy, and absolutely adored by their parents and their pack. "Yours?" If he felt good boasting, surely Miccah would wish to do the same. It had been their first litter too, hadn't it? |
