In search of a home (Remi + Open!)

[Remi Fritz]

[/i] was enough to show a hell lot of weakness in the small wolf. Remi took the fall without so much as a squeak; he laid in the snow for a bit and watched the Lupo walk off into the snow. The younger wolf lifted himself up quickly- an ability he mastered after he turned two and shook off the excess snow. Remi needed the protection, he wasn't exactly the strongest and just standing alone near Tori got him nervous. Remi was always under the careful watch of Sabriel and he never had to worry about acting like a fool around people; because Sabriel would shrug it off and the rest would be intimidated by the stronger one and ignore Remi. The lupo looked at Tori with a small smile and stepped forward- KERTHUNK. He of course fell onto his face and it just so happened to fall into the wolf in front of them. Remi jumped at this and stood up again.

"Oh I'm sorry!" Remi squeaked and backed up slightly. He looked off at where Sabriel left off to and wondered how long it would take him to look back. He tail lifted for a moment and Remi was off padding towards Sabriel without a hesitation. It was funny how Remi was able to trot over to Sabriel- but when it came to sneaking past someone, he would fall. "I'm not ungrateful and I'm not a wretch either. "

He looked back at Tori and smiled at him. He wondered if Tori knew that this could have been the end of both if they didn't pass- although that wasn't a pleasant thought to think of. Remi knew that Sabriel desperately wanted in this 'pack' and he knew that if Remi didn't pass... he would have to leave. Remi would leave for Sabriel's sake. Although it was always easier said than done- there had been a million times where Remi would have woke up and looked at Sabriel to wonder if he should leave him. Sabriel was a 'monster' and Remi felt like he was trying to do the impossible and soften him up.

"So, when's the last time you've seen your Drappa?" Remi asked without looking back at Tori. "I mean, we're not going to have to get there and just wait right?"

Remi didn't want to wait for very long around wolves that have already taken their test and just judging both Sabriel and Remi on not taking it. Remi was desperately worried about not passing it either. He wanted to be able to prove a LOT of wolves wrong. [/size][/ul]

[Inochitori Namida]

Sabriel calling Remi a brat was a little surprising. It seemed rather immature for the large male, it didn't bother Inochitori, but it did make him more curious. Sabriel then seemed to initiate play. That was something Inochitori hadn't thought he was capable of. He blinked a couple times and looked on, tilting his head as he watched the grown pup get buried, he started to giggle but immediately stopped as Sabriel turned to him. He tried to straighten his lips and hold it but almost lost control when he was called a fool. Sabriel was funny like this, incredibly funny. Sabriel was, too, a gentlemen, just not when he acted like this, at least in Tori's eyes. The larger male slowly walked off and left his precious cargo behind in order to call Teekah to them. Remi had nothing to fear from Tori, even if he was the sort who was always looking for a fight, it didn't mean he didn't know how to socialize without one.

The pup, who was not quite a pup at all, slowly stood, removing himself from his snow drift. Tori covered his face from flying particles of snow as Remi shook, even though he didn't have much to worry about and looked up a few moments later. He had enough time to catch Remi's smile before the wolf once again lost his balance and fell right into Tori. It had been enough time to react had he been ready to react, but the Venatoro had relaxed and had no time to get out of the way. He tensed and held his ground as the other smacked into him and he was just about to give a small growl just to see what the kid would do about someone else being so inconvienced when Remi apologized and squeaked like a mouse. Tori wasn't able to hold back his burst of laughter, especially since he wasn't truly angry, he was more curious if anything. He already knew it was an accident and he wasn't so high-strung to get all upset over something like that.

Remi was obviously at a loss for what to do and completely unsure of himself, he even ran back to his 'mommy'. 'Quit playing in the snow, my son, you're such a trouble-maker.' That was all Tori got out of Sabriel's words. It was funny how Remi totally changed when he stood next to Sabriel, it was no wonder he kept so close to him and it was no wonder why Sabriel wanted protection from them. Tori was slowly coming to understand this. They weren't going to want to split up but Sabriel really didn't fit in with the other packs and without a pack, little Remi wasn't safe. At least not as safe as he wanted him to be. Inochitori gave a small grin and moved forward to join them once again. He really shouldn't make friends with them like this in the off chance that he would be sent to chase them off or to kill them. It was his job and given the command, he'd do it in a heartbeat, but it wouldn't be as fun as other murders, it really wouldn't.

Tori perked and cocked his head a bit. What did he want to give as an answer to Remi's question? It had been a few days since he had last seen his Black Beauty and he wasn't ever one for giving out information about himself and he wouldn't do such a thing to Teekah either. He gave a thoughtful hum as he thought about it, as if trying to remember just when the last time was that he saw her. "Uh, not too long ago. I don't think you'll have to wait long, I didn't," He shrugged. "Then again, It's not like I've been around for years or something."

[Teekah Kranis]

The large, lanky shape of a black lupa shifted silently through the snow. The Blizzard had no effect on her though she could feel it dying down a little. She had just recently finished patrolling and though she had smelled the two newcomers she hadn't gone after them as she could scent Tori with them too. She trusted him to keep things under control till she got there. So she had finished scouting out the border and then made her way back up the mountain.

The drappa picked up the pace as she headed towards the scent near to the caves. She wouldn't have let them come this far into the territory but she would sort things out soon enough. She was suprisingly calm today, probably because of the storm. She spied the three wolves up ahead and darted forward easily through the snow. This area of the mountain didn't seem to collect as much snow because of the caves and such so it wasn't deep. She approached them with her tail raised and her crimson orbs locked onto them. She immediately recognised Tori and nodded to him as she padded over. She passed the two new wolves without a care, she had nothing to worry about. True if they both attacked her she would be overpowered but she had the advantage of home terrain and she had Inochitori there also.

Teekahs tail waved in the air like a flag as she looked at the two. One of the males was exceptionally large, but compared to Vereor the Curator and Cain the Beta, he was tiny. She took into account by his posture that he was proud of his size, but size wasn't everything. "I am Teekah, drappa of Blizzard Moon. What are your names? Wolves." She spoke with an icy tone like the Blizzard and her ears flattened back a little. The larger wolf seemed to be trying to assert dominance over Tori, yet he wasn't even pack. This irritated her a little, him being too sure of himself, but Tori's uncaring expression of this made sure she didn't put him in his place, yet. One wrong more or paw out of line and she would fly at him like daggers.

She flicked her attention from the brute to the younger wolf who seemed more timid. Strange, had these wolves mistaken Blizzard Moon for another? They were fools if they had and would pay for it. She 'hoped' for the younger wolf's sake that he had some potential. Blizzard Moon definately wasn't a refuge for weaklings who hid behind others for protection.

[Sabriel]

Watching the pudgy wolf make his way over to the ledge where Sabriel sat, he gently tilted his head to remove any snow that had been clinging wetly to his fur. He didn't mind the weather, it was easy enough for him to tolerate whether he could see through it or not. Snow was something he preferred over rain or sunshine, it just seemed to keep him content. The blizzard, however, had just been too much for the amount of travel him and his companion had endured to reach where they sat now. "Be patient." He barked softly at Remi. Complaining and whining was something the larger canine could not stand. It was amazing he kept Remi around at all.

Slowly standing again he gracefully shook himself out and climbed down the small slope to meet his "child". The breeze was dying down with the snow but he could still sense another presence making its way up the mountain. Hopefully it would be the Drappa. After all, the two outsiders were not being very inconspicuous about trespassing on pack lands. She would definitely know they were there.

His chocolate orbs were slender as he faced the chilly wind and glanced back at Tori, watching gently for any recognition that the wolf approaching was his Drappa. And whether or not he did give any recognition before she joined them, Sabriel padded gently through the snow to relocated himself away from the edge. Immediately he tossed his head to the side and watched the Lupa approach them, his eyes, however confident, were curious as they followed her until she stood still. He didn't look at Remi, not even when she turned to him. It was a time where the larger wolf could not step in front of the Grey, no matter how much he wanted to. This was a form of submission. He wasn't dumb enough to challenge her before there were any signs of a threat.

"I am Sabriel." He finally spoke, taking a moment to assess the situation. Only when he was sure that he could get to Remi in time, should he have to, did he sit and carefully lower his head. It wasn't easy for Sabriel to step down to anyone, especially a female. It showed as he held his gaze on her chalky figure. His muscles were tense as he grounded himself, his ears sliding back to hover uneasily above his scalp. He waited for Remi to give his own name before he said anything more, his bane sliding through the snow to curl around his left hip. "Forgive us for trespassing, we did not do it to pose a threat." He cleared his throat, knowing right away that she would probably be a little skeptical about their physical personalities. "We request a place in your pack and offer our loyalty in return."

Sabriel paused, finally letting his gaze slip to Remi for a split second before returning to the dominant canine. He sighed, "And, if you wish it, though I am sure you have plenty of protection within your pack already, I offer you my life." It wasn't just to keep Remi safe. Sabriel only knew as much when it came to packs. In his own, though however distant from the actual Alpha, Sabriel had sworn his life to protect those who held authority over him. It only seemed proper to die to protect this wolf, should she become his Drappa. Or maybe it was just incredibly foolish to offer such a thing. He kept his head down and his mouth shut, his expression gave away nothing.

[Remi Fritz]

[/color]" Remi announced with his new proud attitude he wore to impress the best. His eyes didn't match with his stance or words. His eyes bore the terror he refused to show to the leader and if anything they looked determined. He listened to Sabriel's speech about loyalty. They would have to offer loyalty and their own strength. " I will also return loyalty and will contribute my strengths."

Which was food, oh how he was hungry at that exact moment; his stomach hated him and started murmuring. Oh please, not at a time like this. Remi lowered his head to the Drappa as if to show 'bowing'- but the younger wolf didn't want to let the Drappa see the horror in his eyes. His stomach murmured more and this time did a flip. The sudden hunger pains disappeared and Remi lifted up his head again. He looked over at Sabriel and listened to him offer his own life. Remi knew either way- they were going to die if they messed up.

"I will also offer my own life for the protection of the pack," Remi announced. Sabriel was always looked up to and if Remi was like that he might get accepted. Sabriel looked like someone that would be in this pack- Remi on the other hand looked like someone that belonged to a weaker pack. There wasn't a chance in hell he would leave Sabriel. He would die trying if he had to. [/size][/ul]

[Inochitori Namida]

It was a shame for that fun Sabriel to disappear so quickly. He really liked him when he was like that though he really couldn't say he didn't approve of the change. For one, he also hated whining and for two, he felt they had a better chance if Sabriel was more serious. That was a funny notion coming from Inochitori, but he had been serious himself during his first meeting with Teekah, hadn't he? Inochitori liked watching Sabriel and Remi, they were fun and interesting, but when another presense is felt, sometimes one must pull one's attention away. First went his ear, flicking to the side not because he had heard something, but because he felt something. A split-second later, Tori's head had turned and his amber eyes were squinting for a clearer view of the black female through the blizzard. He changed instantly upon seeing her, dropping his confident posture to a more polite and submissive one, most notably lowering his head. There would be no mistaking her as the Drappa.

His gaze shifted to Sabriel, almost as in a warning to 'get ready'. He grinned brightly to Teekah as she nodded to him and he returned the gesture before glancing over at Remi. "Good luck," he would have said if he could. Sabriel was being a gentleman once again, submitting instantly and giving the information asked for, apologizing for their tresspassing. Remi, the dear grown pup, had followed suit and seemed to be doing a pretty good job from what Tori could tell. He would have applauded him if it had been appropriate timing... and if he could manage such a feat. Instead, Inochitori stood and lightly padded over to his Drappa's side to sit his rump there. He glanced over at her as if daring to ask 'so what do you think?'.

[[Ooc :: Ugh, sorry guys. Not such a good day but I don't want to hold you back. I also can't really type after my sister goes to bed and it was a busy day >.<]]

[Teekah Kranis]

Teekah's bloodied eyes stared slightly coldly towards the two, noting that the larger one was the first to speak and showed her his boldness. That was good, no weak-links were allowed in this pack. It was a place for the fierce, strong and mad. Not the sikklas, curl-tails and omegas. For one moment Teekah was reminded of Esperanza, the packs omega, but quickly cast the thought aside. Even the omega of Blizzard Moon had potential.

"So, what makes you think that i should accept you? You should prove yourselves." Teekah paused, Remi and Sabriel seemed somewhat close. She would put that to the test now also. Teekah turned and padded back a little before sitting her rear down in the snow and facing them again. "I want you two to fight each other. That way i get to see both of your strengths and your willingness to serve the pack." She sighed a little. "Try not to kill each other, you could both well be accepted.."

Teekah laid down on her belly with her forelegs stretched out infront of her. She glanced back to Tori. "Will you come here Tori?.." It was more of a request than an order since she was quite fond of Inochitori, though part of her expected him to come anyway via an order rather than a request. She was the drappa afterall.
