Hah.
Should be good.
__________________________
The world,
in it's attempt to royally screw the she-wolf over, seemed to take to
spinning, as if trying to knock the female off the planet altogether. It
was really quite rude, as if she didn't have enough problems of her own,
the Kappa now had to worry whether or not she could stand (something she
had trouble with all on her own in the first place). Her paws slowly
trekked up the slope, ears slick to her crown as her eyes seemed faded,
her fur matted and clinging to her body in wet strands. A limp staggered
her body, something she had gained when she had fallen not long ago..
something she could no longer remember, though the crimson of blood poured
down left forelimb, a gash with promising destruction.
The low
moan that escaped her jowls only seemed to reverberate through the
stricken female's ears, to her the noise sounded as deafening as a crack
from a thunder storm. Shivering, her eyes quickly glancing to the
sky, realizing that it had begun to drizzle, and it indeed was actually
thundering. She would make it home. To her den. She had to. Moments
passed, Allure had finally crossed the borders to her home. It was the
dawning realization that she would not make it to her den that she
allowed her frame to sway, the grounds almost pitch black as the stormy
clouds drained all light and life. Her black frame was illuminated for
only seconds as a streak of lightning crossed the sky. Everything was a
blur.
Nice
rock, she
murmured, coming to a stop where she was as she slowly and painfully
lowered herself near it, resting her muzzle to the side of it. Please
make the world stop spinning. Her
voice was something she couldn't even recognize as the storm raged on, the
flashes of lightning painting a rainbow of colors to the female before she
slowly slid her eyes shut as she waited for death to take her, for the
pain was too much.

I'm extremely sorry to make you wait! <3

After his visits with his newfound friends of Nymph, Bronx, and Arsenio, Takashi had taken his leave and decided to head back home. He knew the way back to the Creek, though Nova Mountain was still a novelty to his paws as he tried to gauge the right places to place his steps, not wanting to end up at the bottom of the mountain should a loose rock be his demise. Ever since Element’s warning about the perils of a mountain, he had found himself being extra careful treading in any high altitudes, not wanting to see whether what his ebony friend said was true or not. It wouldn’t be a very good story to tell, if he was even around to tell it.
It wasn’t too long after his departure from the three wolves’ companies that the sky began to darken, storm clouds forming overhead and bringing the ominous feeling that came along with the storms. Once again, Takashi found himself being caught in the middle of a downpour and having absolutely nowhere to hide. He must be a magnet for such weather for this seemed to be the fifth time such a thing had happened. Of course, it hadn’t always been such a bad thing especially when he’d met a few friends under such conditions such as Midas and Colmillo, but really, it was better to remain dry than to be wet with raindrops blurring his vision and the water making the path more slippery than usual.
Ears splayed back atop his head, male shuddered visibly as thunder and lightning form their own bands. It seemed much more daunting at this height than usual, so he was more than just looking forward to going back home. However, as another streak of lightning brightened the surroundings, he saw an ebony figure slumping along the ground, soon ceasing atop a rock and laying limp. With concern, he barked aloud to the supposed stranger – scents were hard to detect in such weather – before finally coming upon the wolf after a few more strides.
The sight that met him was alarming indeed. It was Allure upon the ground, half muttering something that couldn’t be heard over the pouring rain and ringing thunder. Lowering his head to lightly nose the shoulder of his ebony friend, he whined softly in hopes she might hear him and respond back with something coherent. ”Allure? Wake up … We need to get out of this rain.”

Character
The
thunder which rumbled above caused her to squeeze her eyes shut more
tightly, her body trying to curl itself to a ball, yet she felt numb..
unable to move. She barely felt the nudge to her shoulder yet her body
rocked with it, despite such a gentle action. Her eyes opening, the
vision of a blurry wolf greeted her and she lifted her frame only
slightly, trying to push herself back and away from him. Bronx?
Even in her
delirium she knew it was not Bronx, and she quickly settled her head to
the ground as the world began to spin once more. Want
Bronx, she
muttered to the male, though now vaguely recognizing the scent. T'kashi?
Slurred words,
her once eager movement to slide away from him changed as she tried to
her paws.
Lifting
a paw to move towards him, the world tilted beneath her and she quickly
sat her rump firmly and stubbornly to the ground, already promising
herself she would not fall again. Feeling an ache to her left limb she
glanced down, noting the blood after having forgotten about it. Who..
Who did that? Whispering
to him, she glanced up and towards her new companion, the rain caressing
her frame and causing her to shiver.
She
heard him, asking her to get out of the rain. Too late.. she was already
wet, wasn't she? It was then that she took a wild glance around, her
hackles bristling. What
about the others?

Same plot as planned before or different? =P

Even though it was a known fact that rain was nourishment for the earth and it made everything flourish and grow, but that did not mean he had to like it when the weather presented itself in such a manner. A light drizzy with sunny skies was a wonderful pretty thing. Yet when dark clouds covered the skies and thunder rang loudly in one’s ears to accompany hard driving raindrops, it was a completely different story. Forget sitting out in the open to watch the rain or watch the lightning; he would rather sit under some cover and make sure no stray limbs ended up falling on top of his unsuspecting self.
Which was why he urged Allure to do the same, not wishing to find her alone and straying in the midst of a big storm, obviously disoriented and confused. At least she finally recognized him, so that was a good thing, even if the slip-up of calling him by another wolf’s name came first to her mouth. ”I just left Bronx not too long ago. Not sure where he’s gone now though.” Perhaps the two were close friends and she wished for the ebony male’s comfort.
She then glanced to the wound that he hadn’t noticed until now, asking him what happened as well as to the whereabouts of “the others”. Bewildered, he shook his head in uncertainty. ”I have no clue what happened to you before you landed here. You can’t remember anything? I’m guessing the other wolves had already gone to find some sort of cover from the rain.” If that was what she had been asking about. ”What happened?” Now he was curious.

Slight
different. ;]
In
Character
The
rain was drowning out sound for the bi-toned female, her panicked eyes
locking to Takashi as she began to rise, ivory teeth gritting in pain as
she quickly shifted her weight from her injury. Dunno..
She mumbled the
word, shuddering as cast a quick glance around, her mind groggy, unable
to comprehend anything.
I
want to find Bronx, she
demanded in an unsteady voice, beginning to move forward and uncaring if
the tawny male followed her or not. Perhaps the most intelligent wolf
she knew, she could only believe that he would know what was wrong with
her. A small infection from this injury she had somehow gained? It was
then that her eyes located her den. Mm,
there. My den, she
offered, her steps clumsy as her petite frame began to move towards the
direction. Bronx would find her there. Her head pounded, feeling as if a
deer was beating it's hoofs against her relentlessly.
Ducking
to squeeze in to her den, she crawled to the back, a low whimper
escaping her, allowing her to cringe inwardly at how weak she was,
showing such pain in front of someone she barely knew. Takashi,
she murmured,
curling to a ball of black and white. I'm
so cold.. So cold.

heh, I hope it's ok that he howled in NM grounds.

She was obviously unaware of what had happened earlier before, and he was not able to help her in that department. As curious as he was, the first thing was to get out of the storm. With his urging, Allure had gotten up on her own four paws, though she faltered unsteadily with what seemed to be the pain of the injury and not a misstep on the mountain. Her demand to find Bronx was unwavering, and he could only nod his head to confirm that he had heard it and registered its urgency. Yet how could she do so in such a condition? ”Let me call for him. He shouldn’t be that far off; I only left him a few minutes ago.” And he did, hoping that the rain and thunder would not mask his call for help. Surely the ebony male would be able to hear his plea and come running to the safety of one of his packmates?
When Allure motioned to her den, he followed after, trying to stand by her side and offering some sort of support should she need to lean into him. There were a few awkward steps as she lumbered along, but for the most part, she could hold on her own. The two reached the den with little trouble and she, without another word, slipped into the comfortable space. Not sure if he should follow or simply wait outside for Bronx to appear, her next words made the decision for him.
As she called his name and mentioned her state, he quickly walked into her den, looking for her and finding the female rolled into a small ball as she huddled in the corner. Concern was written on his face as he walked to her side, situating himself down upon the ground until he was curled up beside her. ”Shh, just try to get some rest for now.” Hopefully, his body heat would warm her up some and in the meantime, with any luck, Bronx would appear soon and perhaps sort all of this out.

The moments passed, her body remained huddled, though the shivering soon faded as the warmth of Takashi swept through her. Laying down, the throbbing in her head dulled, a soft sigh of thankful release escaping her. Slow the pain ebbed away, and the Iota realized just where she was and who was curled up beside her in false intimacy. She opened her blue-green eyes, glancing at Takashi thoughtfully. The two were acquaintances, sure, and perhaps even friends.. though Allure always had trouble trying to find a topic of conversation for him. Something in their personalities clashed in that aspect.
A delirium had set in to the bi-toned wolf now, her own lips curving to a coy smile as she trailed her eyes over him. I think this is the closest we've ever been, Takashi. She spoke softly, her muzzle tilting in her curled paws. We should have done this much sooner. Takashi was most definitely handsome, and in her need to seek out comfort in her sickness and delirious state, she decided to recognize that fact.

OOC – Allure asked me to jump in here. :)
Lifting himself heavily from the stark rock on which he had lain momentarily, the Guardian set his steely gaze ahead of him searchingly before he moved down back towards his border route. He had been up in the mountains talking to various acquaintances and wandering the general area round about and had caught a quick snack of a baby rabbit that he had consumed upon a ridge whilst overlooking the view. As per usual, it had not been an admiring glance that he had cast over the landscape, but a dully inquisitive one – planning his next route.
The route in question, of course, skirted the borders, but he would head down to Allure’s den first. He visited there often and even if he ignored it, Bronx would find himself worried, but with dignity and intensity… truth be told, he couldn’t get by at least one day without looking after the sister he was more than content upon looking after.
As he headed down towards where she lived, in amongst the dark and rumbling weather, Bronx felt a cry for help before he heard it. He sped his rangy pace and soon the swarthy ranger was at the rocky door, briefly shaking pearls of rainwater from his fierce eyes. He immediately sensed Takashi – what was the Silver Creek wolf still doing on Nova lands? But he was with Allure, which was invitation enough, and may well have just been “trespassing” for the sake of caring for someone.
How’s it going, girl… he mumbled deeply to his sister as he dipped his head low and bent to nuzzle her limp, slim form. Behind her eyes was delirium, as clear as day. All that had ever sent it from her body in the past was rest; you need to sleep, he said quietly to her. |

Yay, another Orli thread! <3
While the two nestled together in the corner of Allure’s den, he could feel her shivers slowly subsiding. Whether it was from getting out of the rain or from the shared body heat of two wolves in one den, he was simply glad she had calmed down somewhat and he decided to take a quick look at her wound. It appeared to be a scrape of some sort, cut perhaps against a sharp edge in her trek up the mountain. However, he couldn’t know for sure and did not rule out that she might have gotten this gash in a confrontation, but Takashi was not about to ask her something that could possibly send her into another frenzy fit. All he hoped now was that Bronx would come soon and alleviate any sort of unease Allure had at the moment.
But all that seemed unnecessary as the female looked to him with a smile, one that he had never seen adorned upon her face. Her words were directed towards their closeness, one which he had not even thought about in any sort of way other than to keep her warm. Giving her a quick smile, he decided to keep silent and instead went to work licking at her wound, cleaning the exterior and hoping that infection had not yet set in.
It did not take long for the ebony Novian to appear beside them, a dark shadow cooing softly to his packmate. Ahh, everything should be all right now, wouldn’t it? Unsure of where he ought to be at this moment, he simply stood and stepped slowly to the side, allowing more room for Bronx should he wish to stand closer.

Scowling in a moody sulk as Takashi ignored her words, she simply settled back and allowed him to care for her, her world still fuzzy as to where she had gotten that gash. She just knew her fur was soaked, and she was in a world of pain that caused her eyes to glaze over.
It was Bronx's soft words that seemed to awaken her from a trance. Eagerly she glanced up to his face, tilting her muzzle up to greet him as a smile caressed her features. Bronx! She chirped the words before sending another coy glance to Takashi, lowering her voice so the Beta of Silver Creek could barely hear her. Bronx.. Can I keep him? She nodded towards Takashi, her eyes gleaming with a mischief mixed in her delirium.
It didn't take long for her to somber, her eyes sweeping to the den entrance. Really, boys, she scolded, trying to sit upright and failing with the weakness that had settled to her very bone. You're both soaked. You shouldn't have been playing in the rain! What will father and Snowflake think when they've come back from the hunt? Her frowning scold turned to a crease of worry as she eagerly glanced to Takashi once more. You don't think Snowflake will try to steal Takashi from me, do you? She whispered the words to Bronx, her eyes eagerly regarding Takashi with doubt.

Bronx swept his detail-spotting gaze swiftly over his sister to determine the damage. He had been correct – what she really needed was to rest… or rather, to sleep. It was often like this when she became delirious; and there was always a rather simple way to get her to be silent (coax her into sleep, naturally); though it was far from that simple. In fact, it was painful that that was all they could really do.
He was not surprised that Allure’s memories had become muddled, along with her general speech, but he was starting to feel slightly bored of all these “confusions” from ill people. They were irritating. He threw a meaningful gaze along at Takashi (who had clearly been flirting with his sister – he was not pleased about this, considering her condition and that the apparently good-hearted wolf had been taking advantage), thanks for keeping an eye on my sister, Takashi, he murmured, enlightening him swiftly of his relationship with the girl, but she needs to sleep now. I.e. – go away. |

Allure was definitely delirious, saying things that made absolutely no sense at all. It didn’t seem like much had been amiss earlier except that she needed to get some cover and away from the rain, but perhaps he had been wrong afterall. Bronx’s presence did not seem to help curb her delusions, but simply amplified it more. Names were tossed out, unknown to the Creeker even as he stood to the side, hoping that all would be well; yet they weren’t. Not only did he have Allure to worry about – even though he didn’t really have to care a bit about her – but the ebony male seemed to have found Takashi to be a bother of some sort. That thought bugged him, really got under his skin. What in the world did he do wrong? Absolutely nothing, that he could think of. He was simply trying to be a good Samaritan, nothing more; did Bronx think he did this to Allure?
Their connection was made clear when the Novian male spoke directly to him about their relationship. So they were siblings, brother and sister. It was a surprise, but one that Takashi was not dwelling upon at the moment. He simply wanted to make sure Allure was all right, and that Bronx did not think ill of him in any way. It was the last thing he wanted, to be labeled as something he was not. ”Not a problem. I just came upon her in the rain, already hurt. I’m not sure where she had been or what she’s been up to, but didn’t think I ought to ask. Will everything be fine? Perhaps I should leave you two alone.” Yes, he got the hint, but he did not want to leave feeling as if he was in the wrong or that he ought to apologize for something that he did not do.

Allure tipped her muzzle up, brushing her cheek against her brother's limb in affection before she rested her head back down, her eyes wavering to both. Bronx was hinting at Takashi leaving, and Allure scowled, about to balk at just how rude her brother was being to her future lover. Her scowl lightened as Takashi spoke, her own words not forming as a yawn emitted from her muzzle, and her body began to ache once more. Moving her muzzle forward, she rested it on Bronx's paw, gazing up at him for a moment before she once more 'admired' Takashi.
Don't forget to calm Snowflake down, Bronx.. Mother is mad at her.. The words were mumbled, her eyes slowly sliding shut as her breathing regulated. Allure was asleep almost instantly, though it was anything but peaceful. It would be a long night for both her and her brother, and a start to a nightmare that they knew little about, such as a cure.

Bronx nodded lightly at Takashi’s explanation. Quite frankly, he didn’t really care. Takashi had taken care of Allure, sure, but it still stood that he was now on Nova Mountain land and he wasn’t picking up Bronx’s obvious order – leave now. It was not his intention to be rude to the handsome Silver Creek male, but he simply glared at him – his fiery eyes insisting that he leave straight away.
Then he proceeded to ignore Takashi, turning his gaze back down to his sister who was resting softly against him, not answering her words.

Yes, he could tell when he was unwanted, even more so now that Bronx was standing there silently, glaring at him even with the menace that was obvious without words. Allure did not make any more sense than she had all this time and though he was concerned, Takashi really was not in any mood to further intensify the tension that was now in the air between the two males. Though he felt he had not been in the wrong, the Novian obviously did and upon Nova Mountain, the resident had the right of way. Thus, without further ado, he backed up slowly step by step, distancing himself from the sibling pair.
A few pawsteps away was when he turned fully and headed down the slope. It had been an all right day now ending not so great. However, he would try not to let this get to him, hoping that Allure would be all right and that Bronx would be able to take care of his sister. That was as much as he could do now.
