- Dixie-May Jackson - 09-20-2011 [html] Bleh. Blah. Kinda sucks. I'm sick, gimme a break. xD Here we go for Claudius. Word Count → 612 Traveling again had not been on the agenda, but breaking the new mare needed to be done, so they were moving. The huge pregnant horse was gentle already, with not real will to fight against the canines. She appreciated any snacks that were given and would follow them around sniffling for more. The beach, where they had been staying, just wasn’t rich enough with grasses for the two horses to live off of for a long period of time. Perhaps if they had backed up from the ocean a bit, but Dixie decided at the last minute that she wanted to travel down south to see if they could find any more interesting supplies. Duke was hooked back up to the wagon, Wayne driving it and Dixie walked with the new mare, leading her on the modified halter.

You can refer to them, just don't say what exactly they are since I don't know yet XD Hahaha OH PLOTTING. (WC: > 300) [html] [/html]Claudius had made a vow to become more active. He thought he was living up to this promise quite well, and after seeing his brother a month ago, he had redoubled his efforts. He'd visited the prisoner, Anu, with disastrous consequences: she had looked so broken and tired that he'd pitied her, but he had been the one hurt in the end. It had been humiliating, especially because he'd thought he was doing something good. He had been too afraid to seek medical help, concerned it would be brought back to Maska, so he had wallowed in his den for a few days after that. He'd done what he could, but he still felt horrible. It was just like when his mother had left: he shook sometimes and he had horrible nightmares of his time as a prisoner and what Anu had done to him.[/html] - Dixie-May Jackson - 09-24-2011 [html] Not much to work with here. :/ Sowwy. Word Count → 507 Dixie walked along in the sand, surrounded by saplings and struggling shrubs. It was obvious that the salty ocean water and air was making it hard for them to grow, but they were pushing through, surviving. The girl liked that about plants, the fact that they could adapt and change and grow virtually anywhere, despite the conditions and the odds against them living. She took to sniffing at the plants as she moved by them, looking for the ones that Fern liked to snack on. Taking some back as treats for the mare would earn her trust and companionship points, therefore making it easier for her to be around the horse when she was foaling. Being able to get near the mare while she was birthing the baby would be important, just in case things went wrong and she needed some help.

[html] [/html] He wasn't sure what the girl was doing, really. She had crouched a bit and peered up at him with wide, big eyes. It wasn't until he spoke -- with his stutter to boot -- that she changed her posture again. She was quick to straighten up and shake off a few stray leaves. In an instant, she was standing before him and he towering above her. Although he was only five foot nine, which usually meant he wasn't as large as most males, he felt like a giant standing above her.[/html] - Dixie-May Jackson - 09-29-2011 [html] This suuucks. I just have no idea what to write. xD. Word Count → 389 Dixie just watched him, taking in the way he moved and changed his stance as she drew closer. What an odd little bird. The male was very awkward and shy, it was so glaringly obvious to anyone who cared to watch and observe. Many might have thought that the little white canine was just an annoying airhead because of her friendliness, but she was in fact very observant and liked to make sure those around her were comfortable with their surroundings at all times. When he started glancing away from her, looking at other things instead of her face, she knew that he was getting antsy and probably wanted to leave. Shaking her head slightly, she reached out and gently brushed her fingers over his arm, avoiding any scratches that might have been there. A soft sigh broke from her mouth as he tried to make himself look smaller. "Are you hungry, sweety? We got some food…and I can help you with those scrapes you got there."

[html] [/html] He had been totally unprepared for the woman's touch, so when he felt her pale fingers make contact with his arm, he flinched. However, this was more out of surprise than distaste. He quickly shook his head, but then stopped and nodded when he realized shaking his head would likely give her the wrong impression. He didn't mind at all; in fact, her touch was a bit comforting. He gave her a tentative smile in return, hoping that he might be able to express himself properly without having to use words. While Claudius thrived in his bipedal form, he felt far more comfortable expressing himself in traditional canine ways: with a wag of his tail, perking his ears, or tilting his head. Any was preferable to the useless drivel that came out of his maw.[/html] - Dixie-May Jackson - 10-03-2011 [html] Possibly a tiny bit of PP in there...maybe. Word Count → 593 Dixie saw the flash of male pride in Claudius’s eyes when she mentioned bandaging and feeding him, as if she were implying that he might not be able to care for himself. Without acknowledging that completely, she just nodded and held her hand out for his before turning and walking back in the direction of the wagon. ”Of course we have to feed ya, hun. Its how I was raised, I just can’t stand to not take care of anyone I come across. Yer all my friends, no matter who is at war with who and I’d take care of anyone else just the same.” She smiled up at him and shrugged, still walking kind of slow, setting a relaxed pace for them to move at. She imagined that a faster pace would make her seem impatient and rushed, therefore possibly making him more nervous than he already was. ”Getting’ food really ain’t all that hard. Wayne is pretty big and can take down deer without much problem, and I can go fishin’ whenever I want, as long as we are on the coast. We got lots of food stored for when we are in the mainland, and I’ll go fishin’ again tonight or tomorrow. Feedin’ you ain’t gonna be no problem at all, sweety.” Image courtesy of PNNL@Flickr; table code by the Mentors! <style>.dixiemayiku .ooc {font-style:italic; font-size:11px; padding-bottom: 5px;} .dixiemayiku p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .dixiemayiku b {color:#583123; letter-spacing:-.2px;} .dixiemayiku {background-color:#8d8a72; background-image:url(http://i51.tinypic.com/m8kal5.jpg); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#000000; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:justify; margin:0px auto; border:1px solid #000000; } .dixiemayiku .inner {margin:0px 5px 195px 5px; padding:15px; background-image:url(http://soulsrpg.com/images/pride/templa ... ate_bg.png); border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none solid solid solid; border-color:#0F0F1A;} .dixiemayiku p.wordcount {color:#583123; letter-spacing:0px; font-size:11px; border-top:1px solid #000000; text-align:center; padding:5px 5px; text-transform:uppercase; margin:0px 15px 15px 15px; text-indent:0px;} p.dixiemayiku-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:425px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} </style>[/html] - Claudius Aston - 10-18-2011 Sorry for the wait. :c [html] [/html] Claudius was quiet while the girl spoke. He didn't want to say anything to offend her, so he didn't say anything at all. He hesitantly took her hand and followed her to her camp. He listened quietly as she explained the situation, but still didn't like that she thought he needed food. He inherently disagreed with the logic, but did not want to bother her with his opinion of the matters. Explaining it would take too long and he was too conscious of his stutter to want to speak for longer periods of time. So, he compliantly followed her, content to have found a new friend. He did feel a little apprehensive when she mentioned a 'Wayne' fellow; he didn't want to interrupt her home with her mate, after all. It didn't seem right to him that she would bring back a lone male to her home, but maybe he was just old-fashioned. Or maybe -- and this was more likely -- there was just something wrong with how he was understanding this entire situation.[/html] OOC conclusion: Dixie-May and Claudius eat together, she patches them up, and Wayne watches him all grumpy-like the entire time. They chat for a bit and then Claudius returns to AniWaya. |
