- Desiree Noelle - 05-01-2011 [html]
[html]
[html] Ooc stuff goes here! Desi approached the AniWayan borders and paced nervously back and forth along the fence line. Her ears were flattened against her skull, her tail could not decide whether it was going to swish against her thighs or press between her legs, and her fur stood slightly on end. She had left pretty abruptly those few months ago; would the others be angry with her for going away? Would they even allow her back into the pack? If so, and this was the kicker, what profession line should she choose?

Twitching her ears from where she was resting, the white wolfess pushed herself laboriously up and let her ears swivel to hear the call in full, happiness dawning on her gentle face and in her forest green eyes. Slight paws begin their trek to the chain link fence she had gone to so often in the recent days, hope welling in her chest. A few months ago, a pup she used to play with had gone away with her mother, and Ralla had not seen or heard from them. Now... Is it...? And lo and behold; there stood a face that Ralla remembered, even if it was older than before and more world-wizened. Ducking under a part of the chain link fence large enough for a wolf but large enough that a wapiti could not cross, Ralla continued her walk to the young girl, arms outstretched for an embrace. "Nihi uha ehena gasohi!" Although her stomach protruded, heavy with pups, Ralla could not just stand by without a greeting to this woman who had once been her friends young daughter. There before her was Desiree Noelle, the pup she had played with when she had first arrived. There in front of her was a young woman who Ralla had missed, and who the tribe had missed. Ralla knew she must look a tad odd, with a stomach like hers and makeup still on her eyes from the ceremony the day before; but still, her heart was happy to see a familiar face return. Spring was truly wonderful. "We have missed you, Desi," the snowy wolfess said, using the pet name she had learned to call the other by. "Where have you been? How is your mother?" Although different in coloring, there was no denying that Desiree reminded Ralla of her mother, who, speaking of... "Where is your mother?" Moon walks. "Moon talks." Moon thinks. .rallasface .ooc {font-style:italic; } .rallasface p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .rallasface b {color:#441e39; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .rallasface {background-color:#441906; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/fdSxN.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#ce4b03; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:justify; } .rallasface-border {width:504px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto;} .rallasface .inner {margin:326px 10px 10px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/50pct_white.png); border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style> [/html] - Desiree Noelle - 05-02-2011 [html] Whee! The last person Desi had expected to see was Ralla, the white wolfess with the 'funny symbol' between her eyes that had played with her when she was younger, before she had left home. When the colliewolf saw her, she cringed. Not only were they going to run her off, they had sent a friend to do the deed? Her fears were unfounded though, as the white wolf opened her arms as soon as she had clambered through the opening in the gate. Desi stood to receive the embrace, more than a little shocked to have been welcomed back with open arms, then remembered to hug back, almost belatedly.

Had she been afraid of something? Of rejection? This was confirmed by the young girl's question, which Ralla answered with a laugh and a raised eyebrow, as if she couldn't believe that she would think otherwise. "Of course we missed you! And did you think I would forget?" What a shame that would be indeed on the Councilwoman's part, as her other duty was to retain the knowledge of their culture. Forgetting faces so easily would be shameful. For a moment Ralla was worried as Desiree looked down in a sad way, fearing the worst. There was a sigh of relief as there was no confirmation of any foul play on Hanna, but there remained the despairing possibility, since Ralla had not heard word or tail of the woman since she had left either. "Well, I'm sure she is fine wherever she is. I've not known her to be a lightweight," she commented with a sagely nod. No, Susquehanna would never die easily, or even from an unnatural cause, Ralla prayed. "Regardless, we are happy to have you here. You mean to join yes?" The answer was apparent, but for the sake of formality Ralla asked anyway. The young collie-wolf went about her travels, which were interesting indeed. "Cour des Miracles? Did you perhaps see a big grey wolf or a red-headed one?" Ralla thirsted for knowledge about her brother and his...Are they mates yet?...since they were about two day's travel away, and especially with the pups coming. Noss would want to see his nieces and/or nephews once they were able to travel--or vice versa--but Ralla really didn't know how to get advanced word to him unless by messenger bird, which she did not have. "Barrington...Barrington..." Ralla mused, trying to remember where that place was. For the life of her she could not, and shrugged her shoulders in dismissal that she knew where the place was. Moon walks. "Moon talks." Moon thinks. .fireplz .ooc {font-style:italic; } .fireplz p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .fireplz b {color:#000000; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#ffffff 0px 0px 2px; } .fireplz {background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/Unspc.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#000000; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:450px; text-align:justify; } .fireplz-border {width:452px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto;} .fireplz .inner {margin:10px 10px 320px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/25pct_white.png); border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style> [/html] - Desiree Noelle - 05-10-2011 [html] Marit gave me permission to do this. :3 Susquehanna will be joining AW as Desi's NPC. Now that she was standing in front of one of the members of the tribe, Desi was able to realize that she had been foolish to think that any of them would cease wondering or caring, no matter how long she were gone. She almost regretted saying anything to Ralla about the thoughts that had been flowing through her mind, but she said nothing, letting Ralla speak.
- Ralla - 05-15-2011 [html] I'm gonna archive this thread two days after this next post for time's sake and the fact that Desi's already accepted "An Ayastigi you shall be, then," Ralla said with a nod, placing a hand on one of Desi's shoulders. "I'm sure AniWaya will appreciate a warrior, and I'm sure Nayati will be happy for an apprentice." The tribe had been long without a proper Ayastigi, and it would be more assuring to know that their warrior ranks were beginning to grow again. Ralla chuckled when Desiree described how her brother had apparently helped her in the escapade, the identity being confirmed immediately when associated with Strelein. However, Desiree's father and Hanna's previous mate had always remained a mystery to Ralla; she hadn't a clue to who he was, and had never asked out of politeness. She didn't see then as a great time to ask, either. Desiree's sudden question sent a jolt of surprise through Ralla's body, cajoling her to look, too. Dark, forest green eyes peered to where Desiree was looking, and then widened in affirmation. "Yes...it is!" she said as if in holy disbelief. It must certainly be a miracle that both would turn up at the same time, after having been separated for so long. Ralla stepped back and let the mother and daughter have their moment, smiling secretly to Nootau, who only saw fit to preen his feathers. The question almost made Ralla laugh again at it's almost obvious answer. "Of course! Why would she not? But likewise, Hanna," the white wolfess said, taking on a false-stern tone, hands on hips and chin upraised, "you'll have to pull your weight again. What can you offer the tribe?" The tone and gesture were, of course, mostly in play, but the question was all seriousness. Before any of that, though, Hanna had come up to hug Ralla as well, which melted away any feigned signs of trying to be stern. The white wolfess had missed her friend... "We'd be delighted. I'm sure you still remember the old craft, and we have another Kunikoti who needs the guidance. Welcome home, both of you," she said while gesturing her arm towards the tribal lands. She bent through the fence and began to lead them back to their home, where they belonged. Above them flew Nootau, unseen to any but Ralla, even as the light glinted on golden wings. The sun led them home. Moon walks. "Moon talks." Moon thinks. .fireplz .ooc {font-style:italic; } .fireplz p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .fireplz b {color:#000000; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#ffffff 0px 0px 2px; } .fireplz {background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/Unspc.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#000000; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:450px; text-align:justify; } .fireplz-border {width:452px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto;} .fireplz .inner {margin:10px 10px 320px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/25pct_white.png); border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style> [/html] - Ralla - 05-15-2011 [html]
