I Like Mustard on My Biscuits, Mmm Hmm - Aeylen - May 05, 2012 Before she'd wandered to Lost Lake. Things sure were quiet on the homefront these days. Aside from Kinis' untimely and mysterious disappearance, which had left the pack utterly broken, the shewolf had come to notice that the Secluded Spring was increasingly empty. Beside Ruiko's signature and Nina's, virtually every other scent she'd come to know had grown stale or faded completely. What was going on around here? Apathetically letting go of a melodramatic sigh, Aeylen rolled to her side. Wasn't pregnancy supposed to be a wonderful, and challenging, thing? Yes, she would often lay around for hours poking at her now very round belly, talking to the kids when there was no one else around, or just to see if she could get a rise out of them. But what felt like a huge part of her was just...missing. She'd always been healthy, happy, and full of life, but lately she wasn't feeling quite like herself. Was it the air here, which was muggier than it had been in the winter months due to the rise in temperature? Was it the fact that she'd never really been anywhere, aside from the Secluded Spring, save Bramble Falls, where she'd found her other half? Was it the fact the the territory had grown empty and quiet? All of these things, she considered, were a source of utter depression. She was listless as she spent more recent days sun bathing and eating - ferociously, quite like a monster. It was no surprise that her appitite was now ridiculous, but sometimes she swore Ruiko had impregnated her with a horde of giant wolf pigs, each with a bottomless pit as a stomach. It had been only hours since she'd woken to find a fresh meal at the mouth of the den, as there usually was - Ruiko was relentless about supplying her breakfast, maybe because he knew he'd given her wolf-pig babies - but the rumbling in her tummy soon prevailed. Just shut up! she would yell at it when no one was around - like a true psycho. Nonetheless, she wanted her children strong and healthy, so with a deep breath the woman would rise to her feet from her chosen, shady place at the densite. Though afternoon was coming to a close there was plenty of daylight to burn, which was good, because she hated tripping and stumbling her fat way to the cache in the dark (which she did most nights when it was time for a midnight snack). Stopping by the creek on her way to lap up some water, the disgruntled leadess followed the obvious, worn path to the store. "What'll it be today, fatty?" she mused to herself as though she weren't losing all of her marbles. Quail, half of a recently slain boar, a few deer legs...Mmmm, it all sounded really good...Perhaps she could have a nice liver appetizer before dragging out something bigger. And so she did shamelessly, licking the dirt and grease from her lips with satisfaction. Mustering the strength she hadn't devoted to consuming her first round, she drug the half boar back to what she considered the living room outside the cavernous pack outcrop. With a final heave she left the dirtied remains right there, plopping on her butt as her hind legs stuck out awkwardly from her round belly. "Any time now..." she continued to talk to herself, knowing that at any moment one of her family members would magically appear from the beautiful emptiness of the Spring or neighboring wood. Butttt...no one came. Where in the hell were they all? Probably out working or patrolling like she should be. And then it hit her - another wave of self-pity and sorrow as she sky gradually faded from blue to pink. She didn't want to eat alone; she didn't want to be alone (although she wolf-pigs were wonderful company). She held her breath until it felt like her chest would explode as tears streamed down her face. How much more could she take? It made her feel guilty that she was selfish enough to allow herself to react in such a manner, but damn it! her heart just hurt. With a quivering bottom lip, she sucked up her pride (or weakness), rose from her huge, round ass and lifted her muzzle to the sky, calling out for anyone who might hear. The alto tone would rise and fall a few times as she sang her sorrows and sorries away, hoping that they would all gather round for a family dinner she wasn't about to consume by her lonesome. Not again.

The red hinted female smiled a genuinely ecstatic, toothy smile, feverishly wagging her tail, which beat upon the ground sweeping the dirt to and fro. She waddled to her feet in an instant to greet the tawny shewolf who had been one of the only members to have apparently stuck around. I Like Mustard on My Biscuits, Mmm Hmm - Nina - May 05, 2012 [dohtml] Her leader didn't sound panicked, but just in case the golden brown female picked up her pace to get to her leader just in case something was amiss. But when she arrived at the scene and put the three stalks of the plant down she heard her leader speaking to her belly, she supposed. . .it had been Aeylen, , ,though she wouldn't have been surprised if it was Ruiko either. The call she had sent out was obviously for everyone and as she entered, the familiar face of Pakuna appeared. Walking closer to her leader she remained in a neutral position, not showing any sign of dominance. Dipping her head silently in greeting to the two wolves she listened to what her leader had to say. Asking how things were going, eh? For her, she kept busy, she just couldn't sit on her butt all day, but would have been, she didn't know why but it just seemed to happen to be like this. The golden brown female made sure to keep a light weight on her still fractured back leg and sat down in front of the wolves. . .she only hoped they wouldn't see this as rude. Her recent run-in with the Poison wolves had not done her well. I Like Mustard on My Biscuits, Mmm Hmm - Pakuna - May 05, 2012 [dohtml] [/dohtml] I Like Mustard on My Biscuits, Mmm Hmm - Aeylen - May 06, 2012 The tawny shewolf listened intently as Pakuna spoke of the condition of the borders - untouched, as she agreed with a nod that they should be. Shortly thereafter, the pack's medic, Nina, appeared into view with a small mouthful of herbs the Leader concluded to be for her practices. Utter delight tickled her insides as the golden brown female took her rightful seat before (and beside) them, and Aeylen's gaze would sweep over the leg that she favored with concern. I Like Mustard on My Biscuits, Mmm Hmm - Nina - May 06, 2012 [dohtml] After a quiet, comfortable silence Aeylen spoke up, inviting the two girl's to the meal and the two were greeted with a warm smile from the female. Nodding her head once again, Nina kept her head in the point at hand. She would eat after she gave the seeds to Aeylen, she was almost done putting the small seeds in a pile too when Aeylen commented. . and if on anything it had to be her leg. Glancing up at her leader she nodded her head and sighed mentally. Now she didn't have a choice but to speak. In a ragged, soft voice that obviously hadn't been used too much recently she spoke, "It is going better than it was before. I had a run-in with some pack wolves. It seems Rhysis and Niara have joined together to join a pack. Athena, she rammed me." She figured she might as well give the story to her leader, she had technically asked without asking, and it was better getting the story out quickly rather then have to wait. She was just glad Volkan wasn't here to hear her small tale. . .she probably would have been pretty pissed. . .as would have Ruiko. Though Nina couldn't hide the hint of shame she felt for getting injured so easily. Nosing some of the seeds she had picked over to Aeylen she said softly, "Some herbal nutrition for the little angels growing inside of you. It will do you good." I Like Mustard on My Biscuits, Mmm Hmm - Pakuna - May 06, 2012 [dohtml] [/dohtml] I Like Mustard on My Biscuits, Mmm Hmm - Kanosak - May 07, 2012 He had heard the howl, from the other end of the territory, but truthfully had been avoiding company since Kinis’s disappearance and the realisation that Wille too, was gone. Being with the others... just made him depressed. He missed her bright eyes and melodic laugh, missed Kinis’s wonder and stories... The last thing he felt like doing was sitting about and listening to stories or whatever the plan was for tonight but he had been summoned and so he picked up his pace, making a beeline for the gathered females. I Like Mustard on My Biscuits, Mmm Hmm - Kashikoi - May 11, 2012 Kashikoi was in the process of finding new herbs which was not always the most pleasant job. It often required that he try tasting a little of each plant and hope it didn't make him sick. So far though all he had found by himself was a bright red flower with black center that made you numb. He had shown that plant to Nina not long back. Smelling the air every so often Kashi manage to pick up the scent of something strange and fresh. As he ran towards the smell he heard the others of the pack as well as smelled them. What was that smell though? As he came into the clearing where the other wolves were gathered it was apparent that he was missing out on a pack feast. In the center of the group was a large fat dark thing with large teeth protruding from the front of it's mouth. As Kashi approached he sunk low to the ground in front of the alpha's in apology. "I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a hunt and what is that thing?" |
