The old human mansion was beginning to feel more and more like home each day. After spending so much time wandering all over Europe, and living on that Spanish ship for nearly a month, Ehno found it comforting to finally have a single location to call home. Even if it was as strange as this old mansion on a continent so far from home. But as things stood now, it was highly unlikely that there was anyone left in Italy waiting for him. Fate (and maybe a touch of luck) had brought him here to Savina, and he was glad for it. So to help himself feel more comfortable in the mysterious old house, Ehno made a point to explore it a little each day. He hoped that before long, he would know the house like the back of his paw. The foreign wolf sauntered aimlessly down one of the many hallways, the tapping of his four paws on the ground the only sound to break the silence. But soon a rustling from further down the hall caught his attention. He perked up at the sound, amber gaze searching the dim hall for the source of the noise. Seconds later he saw a small shaft of light appear from a nearby room. Curious to see which of his packmates was around, he headed toward the room. He stopped near the doorway, spotting the light-hued pup sitting alone upon his mattress. "Hello there." The accented greeting drifted through the air, breaking the relative silence. "Enjoying some alone time, are we?" - Apollo Haddix - 08-12-2008 [html] [/html] - Ehno Marino - 08-13-2008 [html]
"Ehno Marino. Savina's brother," came his reply as he stepped into the room. He could only assume that the boy knew his sister. She had made it seem like she knew the majority of the wolves living in the mansion, but he couldn't be entirely sure. Either way, what was said was said, and there was no point in worrying about it now. The brown-hued wolf came to a halt beside the matress, taking a seat next to it. It sounded like the boy was in need of some company, and Ehno was always up for a little conversation. His amber gaze washed over the room quickly, taking in its bare walls and the toys that lay strewn about the ground. Judging by the toys laying around, and the fact that he had been sitting here by himself, the room seemed to belong to the boy. Ehno turned his attention back to the white pup nearby. "And who would you be?" He had seen the pup around a few times, but he didn't know who he was, or who he belonged to. Now was as good a time as any to find out. - Apollo Haddix - 08-14-2008 [html] [/html] - Ehno Marino - 08-14-2008 [html]
“Nice to meet you, Apollo,” he said with a soft smile. The surname ‘Haddon’ didn’t ring any bells with him. He didn’t recall meeting any wolves around the house with the name, but then again, Ehno hadn’t met most of his new pack mates face to face just yet. As it was, he was still getting familiar with the house and the lands. He figured he’d get fully settled here soon. There was no hurry to adjust. He nodded at the pup’s question. “Yeah, I managed to hitch a ride on a ship with a bunch of Spanish sailors. Ended up getting left behind, but I don’t think they did that intentionally.” It had definitely been an interesting experience. The language barrier made things a bit difficult, but he had gotten used to it after a while. Italian and Spanish, with all their similarities, were still rather different languages. Despite this, Ehno still enjoyed the time he had spent on the ship. He shrugged and said, “It all worked out for the better, though.” - Apollo Haddix - 08-20-2008 [html] [/html] - Ehno Marino - 08-26-2008 [html]
“Italy’s a real nice place, pretty different from the area here. Most Luperci out in Europe live quite similarly to the humans, but our pack was a bit different. We never usually shifted from our natural forms, but we did still learn about the humans and their culture.” Packs that lived like Ehno’s had in Europe were in the minority. They preferred to live in packs while still learning from the humans’ accomplishments and mistakes. Maybe that had been part of the reason why Ehno decided to take off on a journey as he had. Amber eyes shifted across the room momentarily before resting on the white-furred youth once again. “Maybe one day you’ll be able to travel there. It’s really amazing to be able to see new places.” Did Apollo have that itch for adventure in him like Ehno did, or was he more of a homebody? Maybe the touch of wanderlust was an aquired thing. It could very well visit him one day, reguardless of how he felt now. |
