I Couldn't Get too Far - Thanos - Dec 09, 2013 @Corinna or @Triell [dohtml]
RE: I Couldn't Get to Far - Corinna - Dec 09, 2013 [dohtml] Gone TomorrowThe reality had set in with the cold and it was just as harsh. The snows had continued to piled up, making travel hard. Corinna's howls to @Kisla had gone unanswered, and everyday the mother waited in worry for her daughter to come home. @Ice and @Merlin had also not returned after their search for Cali. Their numbers had been worn down before the winter had well and truly arrived; never a good thing. Food had grown increasingly scarce, and more than once Corinna had needed to stop her youngest from pillaging the entire stores to ensure that the others were also able to eat and be nourished. So when the stranger howled, calling for the pack's leaders, Corinna was not as immediately irritated as she normally would have been. The older she had grown, the less tolerant she had grown of strangers, but with winter blowing past their doorstep uninvited, she had little choice but to see what this stranger wanted. The going was not easy, even though the leader was not particular heavy. The depth of the snow made it tough, and more than once she fell through the surface and had to forcefully shove her way forward. Snow clung to her chest, back, and shoulders, the coating growing deeper every time she fell through. But Corinna forced herself on, even though she grew weary with the effort. The result being that when she finally reached the borders and spied the tawny brute who had called for her, her irritability had risen. Pausing to shake herself, she stood still and shook her body, sending the ice that clung to her fur flying. With that finished, she approached the borders, her head and tail instinctively rising, hopefully leaving no doubt as to who she was. RE: I Couldn't Get to Far - Thanos - Dec 09, 2013 [dohtml]

Not that there was really any surprise in why he had shown up. Very rarely did lone wolves approach her borders with anything other than a request for food, a place to sleep, and land to call home. There had been few, though, who had taken that chance recently. The winter snows were worse than they had been in Corinna's five years of life, and if they were harsh on a pack wolf, they would be lethal for a lone wolf. As macabre as the thought was, she couldn't help but picture the scene come spring: decayed carcasses of lone wolves who had been unable to find companionship during the long nights. It remained to be seen if this Thanos would be among them or not. "Very well, Thanos," she returned, doing her best to keep her irritation out of her voice and her tone level. As irksome as dealing with strangers was, Corinna could not deny her pack another body out of her own spite. With Ice, Merlin, Cali, and now Kisla, missing from the pack's ranks, it would be ridiculously stupid to send away a potential subordinate. One more mouth to feed, but perhaps the difference between a successful and failed hunt, as well. "I am Corinna Donata, and this is Oak Tree Bend, my family and my pack. We don't take in stragglers, so if you're only looking for temporary shelter, then you should leave now." The leader took a step forward, her black lips lifting so he could understand the very real threat she was making beneath her words. "What's brought you here? Surely you didn't decide that winter was the best time to go exploring on your own, did you?" RE: I Couldn't Get too Far - Thanos - Dec 25, 2013 [dohtml]
RE: I Couldn't Get too Far - Corinna - Dec 30, 2013 Thanos can either run or he can submit and be attacked, it's up to you. [dohtml] Gone TomorrowThe she-wolf's ears twitched atop her skull as she listened to Thanos speak. Empty words of promised loyalty meant very little to Corinna. What else, after all, was a lone wolf going to say when faced with the threat of starvation? Loyalty was not something that could be pledged with words. Words were cheap, but actions were worth their weight in gold. Only time would tell if Thanos' words were trustworthy, though it remained to be seen if the leader would give him the chance to do so. His response to her question caused her to inhale sharply. Instinctively, the hair along her back stood up, and she answered him with a low growl and narrowed eyes. The leader's muscles tensed, and her body fell into a crouch - prepared to lunge at him and drive him off. What kind of wolf let a child wander around on their own during winter? The mother had always been wary of strangers around her children, a fear that had only been intensified with Rissa's death. Thanos said he had gone back to find her, but that was irrelevant - he had allowed a pup to wander off alone. Still growling, Corinna glared at the loner; there was no mistaking her anger. Muscles tense, she lunged at him, teeth parted and prepared to bite into him for his grave mistake. RE: I Couldn't Get too Far - Thanos - Jan 02, 2014 [dohtml]
