- Saul Stormbringer - 08-14-2011 [html] 14th August . Mostly set in the Valley and the Dampwoods . Optime Form The gentle rocking motion of the dark horse beneath him was beginning to feel like a comfort to the male. He spent a lot of time in the horses presence these days and always took him when he left Ichika for whatever reason. One of those reasons was to cross the mountain at a reasonable pace, but there was also the comfort in knowing that he wasnt alone and he wouldnt be alone as long as Hermes was with him. Saul had been trying to make some headway in breaking Maia to the saddle and bridle but it was proving harder than he first suspected. He'd managed to stroke her and was beginning to work with the brushes in taming her coat and mane. It was a big leap of trust just to be able to brush her without being bitten or kicked at. He wasnt going to give up, there was no doubt about that. It was just taking longer than he anticipated and it was beginning to wear on him. .saul-d19 .ooc {font-style:italic; } .saul-d19 p {padding:2px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .saul-d19 b {color:#D6ECF8; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .saul-d19 {background-color:#728792; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/gifts/2010dec/saul3.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#1A2023; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:450px; text-align:justify; padding:10px 0px 270px 0px; } .saul-d19-border {width:454px; border:1px solid #FFFFFF; margin:0 auto;} </style>[/html] - Scorpius D'Angelo - 08-16-2011 [html] Some OOC info for you! Scorpius has gotten permission from Naniko to trade one of their rams to Saul. I've got some info on the horse that Scorpius picks out on his profile so we should be good to go Scorpius had been preparing for this day. It was the day that he and Saul had been planning for to help build a relationship between Anathema and the newly formed pack Ichika no Ho-en. He had already discussed this with the male and wanted to see if he was able to get a ram out of it. He had brought up the idea of the trade with his mother and she didn't seem to mind giving up one of Anathema's rams for a trade. They had a total of five and was sure it wouldn't be too much of a hassle to give just one of them away. If they wanted more rams, he was sure they would just be able to breed the leftover rams with the sheep. He sat up in his section of the cave and stretched out his arms as he began to head to where the pack kept their animals. He had already picked out a ram and it was one that didn't struggle much to be led. He gently tugged on the horn of the ram to get it to start moving and then began to lead it through the caves. It was not hard to get through them and he knew the inner caves like the back of his head. Once they were outside, he began to head towards the location they agreed to meet at. Scorpius was glad that he was able to participate in the trade, though he was still not too sure what he would be able to get in return. He was sure that Anathema was doing well with supplies and didn't really need anything, though perhaps there was something he would be able to think of once he got there. As he began to lead the ram through the pack lands, he looked ahead to see if he would be able to catch a glimpse of the male through the trees. He was sure Saul would be bringing his horse, though was not too sure how he was going to get the ram back to his home. He would surely need something to help lead it to Ichika no Ho-en. He stopped as he noticed the ram taking a break to chew on some grass. He didn't mind waiting a bit, though if Saul was already in the area, he didn't want to keep him waiting. After a few minutes, he tugged gently again and they were back on the move. As the borders seemed to come into view, so did the male on his horse. A smile came to his face as he came into view and stopped the ram at his side. The ram didn't try to run. Instead, it took the time to relax and eat. The ebony wolf gave a small wave as he spoke. "Greetings Saul. I have brought the ram as we agreed on. It's rather docile and shouldn't give you too much trouble." He brushed his fingers through the wool of the sheep and waited for Saul to take the ram off his hands.

Mostly set in the Valley and the Dampwoods . Optime Form He remembered the conversation with Adonia, just over a month ago. He knew that the ram would be very important in their attempts to raise the numbers of Ichika's sheep. Since one of their sheep had been slaughtered for the harvest festival, they now only had five sheep. If they all bred with the ram Saul was about to obtain, provided they only produced one lamb each, they would have eleven sheep in the spring including the ram. It was an exciting prospect and Saul knew that once he got the ram settled there would be excitement with the Ma-Tzu as well- he knew Adonia was very keen to see baby lambs running around in the pastures where the sheep were kept. He let his mind wander, thinking of the baby animals they might have by spring if all went accordingly. He knew it wasnt specifically his job to get involved in this, but it was personal interest that had him trying to see more animals in Ichika. It always felt wrong that Dahlia hadn't kept any animals and now that they were in Ichika, he was like a pup on its first hunt- giddily excited. .saul-d19 .ooc {font-style:italic; } .saul-d19 p {padding:2px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .saul-d19 b {color:#D6ECF8; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .saul-d19 {background-color:#728792; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/gifts/2010dec/saul3.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#1A2023; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:450px; text-align:justify; padding:10px 0px 270px 0px; } .saul-d19-border {width:454px; border:1px solid #FFFFFF; margin:0 auto;} </style>[/html] - Scorpius D'Angelo - 08-16-2011 [html] Ooc. It looked like Saul was deep in his thoughts when Scorpius arrived for the trade. He didn't mind that the male had other thoughts on his mind when he got there. He was probably planning what to do with the ram after the trade was done. He looked over to the ram until the gray wolf had come back to reality. He brushed his fingers throguh the wool and was sure that this would also be useful for the pack. He was sure that Ichika no Ho-en would have a better use for it than Anathema. His ruby gaze moved up to the male as he waved back and even dismounted from him horse. He moved over to the ram and began to tie a rope around its neck, thanking him from bringing it. He nodded to give his thanks back and explained that he would now be able to breed the sheep. He still could not believe that one pack only had female sheep at their disposal. He smiled as he then went to pet the ram for one last time. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad to check on the ram for a couple times just to see how it was doing. His ears shot up as Saul then stated that they were now going to go and get a horse. It was just so sudden to shout out that the ebony male was not too sure how to react. He just gave a simple nod and followed along at his side. He ctually figured that this was a good trade. It was an animal for an animal and one that benefited each other. The ram would help to benefit Ichika no Ho-en for breeding, and the black wolf always wanted a horse for himself since he had his lesson with Saul. He paused as Saul began to tie the ram to a tree so that he would be able to get a horse without too much trouble. He let the ram have easy access to grass. The male then took to his side and he began to look around for some horses. He hadn't seen any so fat that really peeked his interest. They didn't seem like they had the right personality or looks that he was looking for in a horse. He wondered if maybe he would be able to spot on like Hermes as they continued along. Scorpius then stopped as he caught the sight of a certain horse in the distance. It had a bluish-gray coat and seemed to be like the perfect size for him. He tapped Saul gently and then pointed in the direction the horse was. "What about that one there? Do you think we could catch that one." He seemed to really admire the one horse that caught his eye. He hoped that this would be the right one for him. He then waited for Saul to tell him what to do next. If this was really going to be his horse, he wanted to be the one to catch it and lead it back home.

That wait was baaaad! <33 Scorpius was quiet as Saul announced what their trade was going to be, accepting with a simple nod of his head. The young male wondered if Scorpius had had other ideas, but the walked forward happily together. The ram walked beside Hermes well enough, nervous at first but swiftly getting used to the large animal walking beside him. Saul always wondered how long it had taken the domisticated animals of these days not to freak out when faced with the wolves. He supposed it was the upright position with which they walked- maybe it confused them long enough to be caught or become prey. Saul had no idea, but it was an odd thing to consider. He had no idea if Adonia had named the sheep, but he wondered about giving the ram a name. They werent going to eat him- he was too valuable to them as a breeding animal. But there would come a time when they couldnt use him anymore because of inbreeding and they would either kill him or trade him. Perhaps it was best not to name him. .saul-d19 .ooc {font-style:italic; } .saul-d19 p {padding:2px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .saul-d19 b {color:#D6ECF8; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .saul-d19 {background-color:#728792; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/gifts/2010dec/saul3.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#1A2023; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:450px; text-align:justify; padding:10px 0px 270px 0px; } .saul-d19-border {width:454px; border:1px solid #FFFFFF; margin:0 auto;} </style>[/html] |
