Journey to the Blood Stained Home

Charna looked at Elysia confusedly as she seemd to hide how her day had truly been. Her attention shifted to Archangel as she asked a distracted question. The two seemed to be quarrelling within themselves, while Charna's only quarrel was, well, she didn't really have any quarrels. Hey eyes were on the male next to Rune momentarily before alighting on those whe was conversing with. As the equestion had been directed at Elysia, Charna did not respond to it.

(lame)

Elysia looked between Charna and Archangel, neither of them looked convinced with her pathetic attempts at nonchalance. Why not just come out with it? They'll know sooner or later Her inner voice was being argumentative. Elysia's tail flicked as she thought over it. Her pensive eyes wandered the clearing. A tan colored male had risen from an aparent nap, his own wandering eyes settling on their small group - though they seemed more specifically pointed towards Kanae. Elysia's interest piqued and she wondered who the male was, and what his relationship with Kanae was. Charna had said nothing, seemingly off in her own world. Elysia looked to Kanae.

"I was accepted not an hour hence." She hesitated, she could tack it on. The little truth. Right here and now. Or she could be quiet. Or she could tell the truth. But she wasn't lying, she was just omitting. Was that still bad? It wasn't as bad, but it wasn't great either. She shuffled her paws uncomfortably, lost in thought. She looked around the pack. She felt like there should be something there, some reminder of Pallatsera or some remnant of her presence. But if it wasn't for Derek's story and the looks of longing sorrow, it was as if she had never lived at all.

Elysia suddenly motioned her head in the direction of Maiara, commenting in an emotionless flat voice. "My elder sister was alpha female before Maiara." Her tail tip twitched back and forth and she said no more. There, she was done. She used past tense, she mentioned it. That was all. Time to move on.

Aceline nodded"Yes it can" she said. Her hazel colored luminaries looked at him, a small smile started to form. She watched as he moved her paws in a way that made him lean. She turned her head towards the sky as she spoke"I found this place by mistake" her tone was saddened

"I don't know if its a good thing" she said still looking at the sky. Her ears slightly perked at his words"Im glad you came here" she said in a tone with happiness. "I don't think it would be wise to leave" she said looking towards him

Kanae did not speak. She just nodded at Elysia's words. Despite the fae's flat, emotionless voice Kanae had a feeling that Elysia was full of sorrow. She felt bad for the she-wolf. The pain that one would feel after discovering that one's sibling has departed from this world was just as powerful as the heart wrenching sorrow that Kanae still felt for Dagger.

In one quick movement, Kanae stood up gracefully and moved her body forth, towards Elysia. Reaching with her snout, she lightly touched the other fae's muzzle with her nose. It was a sign that meant many different things. But to different wolves those meanings varied. It could be a sign of love, apology, or even acceptance. It strictly depended on the other wolf to realize the meaning that another can not say.

Soran sat tightly with his tail curled around his paws, a plain expression masking his face. His dark brown eyes scanned each member of the gathering group as he waited for Rune's signal to continue. The male shifted his paws slightly as different conversations drifted in and out of hearing range. His gaze flickered over to the bright loner Rune had spoken to earlier, speaking to the grey she-wolf beside her. Though he resisted the urge to start a conversation, the hunter merely sat as he turned his eyes on the grass below his paws.

(horrible..)

Elysia jumped slightly, not having expected the sudden contact from Archangel. Elysia had never been a very physical she-wolf, she wasn't a cuddler or a nudger or any of that. With Derek, well that had been different. They were suffering mutual grief. But Archangel? She didnt know Elysia's grief. She didnt know the whole story. But she had taken the step anyways, come forward and lended her support. Elysia wasn't sure what to think or how to react. Her pelt was crawling as nervousness flooded her. There were so many wolves, milling here and there. She felt like she could feel eyes resting on her. Her tail tip flicked back and forth, still wrapped around her paws. She maintained her careful composure, looking at her paws pensively.

She raised her head, simply nodding to Archangel - gratitude but unable to return the touch. Elysia cleared her throat, wishing to move on. She looked around. The pack seemed to be expectant, organizing themselves for something. The leader male was talking with Maiara, another she-wolf waiting anxiously to the side. The dark brown male Elysia had noticed earlier (Soran) was still standing near the lead male (Rune). Was that Elysia's mistake, or had his eye sflicked to her for the briefest of moments? Elysia shifted her paws and glanced at him. She wondered why he sat like that, solitary and silent. She tilted her head, looking to Archangel as she spoke softly.

"Who is that male? The one beside Maiara, the lead male and the anxious she-wolf?" Soran had piqued Elysia's curiosity. Her ears flicked and she remembered that Archangel was no older a member than herself. She may not know. But she may know, and information was a valulable thing.

Spirit padded slowly into the clearing as the moon seemed to be rising higher into the night sky. She paused, looking around at all the new faces; there seemed to be so many. She pushed the thought away, she would get the chance to talk to them on the journey, right now... it could wait.

Sighing, the Spirit made her way to a side of the clearing - close enough to be near everyone but far enough away so she wouldn't get trampled. She lowered herself to the ground, resting her head on her paws as she gazed at the ground before her. She grinned slightly as she spotted an oak leaf nearby. Spirit lifted a grey paw and set it down carefully on the leaf, a pleasurable smile spreading across her muzzle. She lifted her paw again, as if to check if it was still there; grinning when it was. Spirit bought her paw back to her side, resting her head on it once more. Gliding her tail across the ground behind her she stared at the leaf lazily.

( Didn't know what to do.. so yeah. Look a leaf! =}D )

"Dagger. I mean," Kanae desperately wished she could take back his name. When she responded, she had been trapped in the past with his ghost. "He's Soran."

She knew the dark brown brute's name due to listening to other wolves. Many of these wolves did not know it, but Kanae knew their names.

Ninja rose his head from whatever he was doing and he saw Kanae over in the distance. He got up to his feet and padded over to her and sat down next to her. The look on the fae's face was sad. "You ok Kanae? It looks like you could use some company, mind if I sit here?"

(Ack, wanted to post something, really lame)

"I'm alright, Ninja," Kanae spoke his name gently. "But I would love more company."

She smiled at the handsome brute, her pelt prickling with slight nervousness. She wasn't used to wolves coming to her, she usually went to them but this was very refreshing. Ninja sat rather close to her, though their coats were not quite brushing. However, a few of the longer strands on Kanae's pelt lightly touched Ninja's flank. Soon, Kanae lost herself in Ninja's eyes but a few heartbeats after, she realized that Elysia and Charna were still there. Clearing her throat, she looked at the other faes.

"Ninja, this is Elysia and Charna." She introduced them, hoping that the other two had not noticed that she had forgotten that they were there.

Ninja's brown orbs moved over to the sight of the two faes. "It is a pleasure to meet you Elysia and Charna." he bowed to them, being taught that at a young age. Ninja bowed to everyone he met. Whether they wanted it or not, he still did it anyways.

The brute moved his eyes back towards Kanae. He could feel a strong feeling overpower him, but he couldn't figure out what it exactly was. He didn't know if the feeling was real, or if it just was his mind playing tricks on him.
