- Sankor Koios - 03-03-2009 Sankor was bored. He knew he should probably put some thought into finding a rank that suit him but he wasn't really sure anymore where his skills really could take him. The pack had all sorts of ranks and duties that could be suitable for him to do but he didn't want some everyday common duty that would just make him another one of the crowd. There were enough males in the pack and he wanted something to atleast make him stick out a little. The male paused in the middle of the thought as he realized that that sounded just a little strange, even for his line of thinking. It wasn't like he had anyone in the pack he was trying to impress. He grinned to himself and rolled over onto his back in the snow, wondering how often he actually thought such strange thoughts and didn't realize it. Scratching his back against the icy edge of the snowdrift the male rolled to his paws and shook the fragments from his fur as he chuckled. He sure was in trouble if he was going to start letting his mind idle down that trail of thoughts. He did not want to start thinking about families and puppies and the likes, his sisters were bad enough, he'd feel sorry if he ever had kids.. if they had to go through the drama he went through with his own sibling. A Grin escaped his maw for a second as he sighed and straightened up. Thinking about puppies reminded him about the more serious matter in the packlands, the missing boys. He bit back the laid back attitude he'd just been flirting with and decided to scout about to see if there was anything anyone hadn't found, though the recent weather had probably washed away all signs of the missing Soul children. - Colibri Haki - 03-04-2009 [html]

[/html] - Sankor Koios - 03-05-2009 Sankor's mind had been off in space, which seemed to be where he lingered most of his time nowadays when a small voice cut into his little world. Blinking as he backpeddled a moment and stopped in his traces, turning to find the owner of such a small little voice. He realized when he caught sight of the lady who it was, though he hated to admit he couldn't remember her name. He hadn't been as attentive at the packmeeting as he probably should have been. He could recall that she'd moved in with a family in the pack but he hadn't met any of those figures either so he was a bit of a hopeless at the moment, the only thing he could do was answer the question she presented him with. Settling back on his haunches for a moment he gave her a dashing grin as he asked, "Depends on who's wanting to know..." Once a tease, always a tease, even when there was little that ever came out of it. In the end he was too chicken to be more than a friend and a hopeless flirt just to make the ladies smile. He wondered if any of them had caught onto the truth or if either of his sisters had given away his little secret. He sure hoped not, it would ruin all his fun. When he realized the nervous and wide eyed look the lady was giving him he smiled softer as he said. "Hey, relax.. it's not that big of a deal is it?" He wasn't in trouble right, he couldn't think of anything he'd done, but with that look she'd granted him he wondered what sort of rumors could have been spread about him. That was a strange idea indeed, rumors about him? Hah. - Colibri Haki - 03-06-2009 [html] OoC: ...
[/html] - Sankor Koios - 03-06-2009 Sankor didn't know enough about any of his packmates histories to really draw up any sort of story on the chocolate and cream furred lass before him. If he had he probably would have dropped his little teasing gestures and taken a more serious approach to the child. He watched the nervous look seem to melt away though when he'd finally announced just who he was and in a single breath she seemed to blossom just a little and come out of her shell. The bow was still too much for the male as he shook his head and smiled. "No need for formalities little lady.." he said with a soft chuckle as she seemed to try and agree with him that it was no big deal, though somehow he wasn't for certain that she really was able to convince herself. He couldn't help but hop to his paws when she'd announced that she'd been out taking a walk when she'd came across him. His eyes sparkled as he suggested the continue then. "Well, I've nowhere to go but roam, perhaps I can join you.." he asked before issuing her a large grin and commenting on how she'd stumbled upon him. "and.. believe me, you didn't stumble upon me. I've been stumbled upon and stumbled over.. and Miss, you have done neither today." he said with a little wink as he moved to circle the girl once, so use to being up and moving that he didn't even realize that his actions could be taken wrong, up and away always on the go was just the way he was.. except when he was being a lazy good for nothing bachelor and trying to hide from his duties and the ladies of the world. - Colibri Haki - 03-09-2009 [html] Words: 300+
[/html] - Sankor Koios - 03-19-2009 ooc: ignore the fact that Sankor acts like he doesn't know what his rank is.. he's talking regular rainks.. not co-ranks.. There was hardly anything that could spoil Sankor's mood when he was in a good one, and today was no exception to how he'd been lately. Grinning at the girl as she shyly tried to give response to his teasings there was little Sankor could do butchuckle at her hiccuping giggle. It was silly the strange things that women seemed to do when you played the ham. "Now the hard part is over now, atleast we know eachother." he joked as she seemed a little dejected at not finding some silly pet name for him. He thought wasn't bothered at all, the girl before him was an interesting case as he sound found out when he'd moved suddenly and she'd reacted just as fast. He paused in his motion and settled back a distance to give her room. His eyed darken slightly in confusion as she spoke up. He nodded slightly as she seemed to push away the invite, making him curious as to what was ticking inside the chocolate furred child's head. He couldn't help but grin as he admitted he did have duties. "My job, well.. it's to get inside that pretty little head of yours.. and everyone else in the pack.." He'd taken up the co-rank not to long ago but the dark hued male did atleast carry duties now. He loved to talk and chat, and being the middle ground between his siblings for so long had laid a fine road to settling in and listening to one's worries or fears.. or even deep dark secrets if the need arose. He hadn't really had to help fix anyone's problems lately but he wouldn't be surprised if the normal should to lean on didn't occur from time to time, it's what friends and family were for.. and he was that within the pack.. he hoped he'd become closer as well if they could see who he really was. Taking a step alongside the girl he asked. "So my little lady, shall we talk about the birds and weather, or do I have to actually get to work and sort through the ticks and tocks behind those georgous eyes." He was too much, perhaps way to much for the shattered soul beside him. - Colibri Haki - 03-20-2009 [html]

[/html] - Sankor Koios - 03-24-2009 True enough there was little that could actually eat through Sankor's shields and remain to bother him for long. While he could be pestered and annoyed from time to time after a while it just began to roll off of him. The mild mannered male could never really recall a time he'd snapped or been enraged truly and it was probably a good thing. He knew that he had the girl all a flutter but to him as long as she kept talking and remained a little social he could probably bet that like all caterpillars she'd turn into a beautiful butterfly if she'd just come out of her shell. His paws stepped one by one as they moved along, from time to time his eyes turned to glance at her, the humor dancing in them as she seemed to take his words a little to seriously. A soft rumbling chuckle rose from his throat as he winked at the girl when she'd spoken up, yet soon enough it seemed that she understood just what he'd meant and things were a little bit easy again. It was short lived though as she did start to draw herself from that frail shell. He paused as she seemed to look away, like she was ashamed of who she was or perhaps just what she was made of. He raised a brow at the little lady and stated frankly. "I doubt that there's anything about you yourself that could scare me my little butterfly.." He knew that the world was a cruel place but this little creature before him didn't seem like she could harm a fly. He wasn't certain just what the world had done to her to turn her into such a jitterbug but he knew in time with patience, friendship and love that she could be made whole again, if she wanted to be, but no one could help her unless she was willing to accept the help at hand. - Colibri Haki - 04-06-2009 [html] Words: 300+
[/html] - Sankor Koios - 04-09-2009 The sunny male never really stopped to think of what others thought of him, atleast, not normally. From time to time he'd kick back with one of the other males of the pack and joke about how life was as a lonely bachelor but it was always just for jest. Sankor had no real thoughts of the flirting he did or how the others of the pack might interpret his ways. He turned his eyes back to the woman once more and just smiled warmly, his slow padding jaunt just enough to keep him moving along as he wondered just what had happened to this poor dear to render her so shy. Suddenly it seemed that he'd said the wrong thing though as the mocha and cream lady darted ahead of him, literately leaving him in the dust to try and figure out what it was he'd done wrong. He tilted his head to the side as Colibri spoke up. He was quiet a moment as he watched her move on before he decided to speak up. "I doubt you can prove me wrong for I've seen and heard some pretty strange things in my travels." Sankor knew that there must be a good reason she didn't want to reveal her secrets and though he teased and attempted to bait the words from her be was beginning to wonder if she was right and he actually didn't want to hear the truth. It wasn't that he couldn't handle the truth, but moreso the attachment that comes with knowing the truth. The male shook his head, his soft bangs that cut across his face fluttering back and forth before settling right back into his eyes again. He quickened his pace to meet back up with the lass as he turned his honey hued orbs towards her, glancing at that pretty young face she tried to hide as he spoke. "The world can be a scary place, but it's more dangerous to walk through the world alone than in the company of friends." He pulled his gaze off the woman as his soft words floated between them in the air. "..Sometimes it's better to let it all out than to keep the darkness inside." He paused in his tracks a moment as he looked up into the empty sky. "Of course.. you could end up an annoying chatterbox like myself if you speak up too often.." - Colibri Haki - 04-17-2009 [html]
Sorry for the wait, love!
[/html] - Sankor Koios - 04-24-2009 She asked that one question that he would have rather she didn't. Instead of giving her a straight answer the male shook his head and frowned, his eyes glancing over to the young girl as he hesitated for a moment before stating. "I don't think you'd like to hear such things, a young lady like you don't need exposed to such disturbing stories." Sankor watched as the young lass returned to his side. He didn't say anything about how she'd scurried away and he probably wouldn't he didn't mind the switching of leads and the mismatched pace. The conversation was the key, not the motion that drove them along. When the little girl worried and fretted away he just shook his head and hushed her silly nonsense. "My butterfly, if you were annoying me do you think I would stick around. Don't worry so much and it will seem easier to breath." She looked wound tighter than a clock and he didn't doubt that she probably felt thatway too. He brought his gaze down from the sky once more as the pretty little thing spoke of his company. He just smile slightly as he watched her hide away in her little shell again. "We must work on that my dear.." he said, a hint of amusement in his voice. - Colibri Haki - 05-07-2009 [html] Words: 343
[/html] - Sankor Koios - 05-12-2009 Their steps in tone with eachother as they moved along, the conversation flowing just a fluidly as their paws through the lands. He smiled a soft little prying smile as she seemed to finally give way under the eased words and dashing smiles and gentle pressure. Her words though he didn't agree with and with the softest shake of his head he admitted such to her. "But to keep them buried within and they would fester and in time spoil such a delicate bloom as yourself." By the way she acted it seemed that her past wasn't just child's folly but a sore and harsh thing that probably was best kept locked up tight.. but she would never heal and blossom into her full potential hidden away in the shadows of her past. He was quiet a moment as they kept pace a while before finally speaking up on the matter again. "Sometimes doing what is right doesn't always feel right in the end." He knew that the words he spoke were the trust thing there was but he didn't know if she would want to understand to save the rest of the world but was it better to keep the secrets of a monster hidden when it could perhaps stop a beast from raging against another innocence. When she finally seemed to listen and ease up just a moment he smiled and let the silence fall between them for a while, the normal scenery of the packlands moving past them as the world still turned despite the chaos that seemed to reign in Colibri's life. Finally he had to let go of the silence and move on and when he did he couldn't help but chuckle at the response he drew from the little woman beside him. "Why, getting you out in the world again. You can't stay cooped up forever!" True she did seem to atleast come out of her shell for a moment in the pack's own territory but he could probably bet that she was a mess in the realm of another. He smiled down at her and chuckled softly. "With a little polish and a bit of care you'll shine like a diamond.." - Colibri Haki - 05-15-2009 [html] WC: 359
[/html] - Sankor Koios - 05-15-2009 He couldn't believe how stubborn she was being on the subject but he could just dig his heels in as well. The male shook his head and watched the girl as she tried to find some way of flipping his own metaphor around to fit how she viewed herself. "One dying flower only needs to be nurtured and properly tended to.." he glanced away from her as he went on. "..And they need to stop believing they aren't worthy of being a glorious addition to the world." he ended his words with a soft innocent humming of some unknown tune as he acted like he hadn't just told her flat out to let the world see her beauty. He tried to act like he didn't catch the stole glance cast his way as they strolled on, some aimless trail through the packlands with all the time in the world on their side. He never really thought much on his teasing ways and if it caused a stir of emotions in the women he teased and taunted. Then again he just assumed if they liked him they'd come right out and make a show of it, so this far with not attention he'd figured he was just unlucky with the girls. Flattered didn't always get you everywhere. The soft words of the girl reached his ears as he turned towards her with a soft smile on his lips. "Of course, I ran away from home to explore the lands afar.. well, not too far. I have a fear of boats.. I think." He knew that wasn't the reason he hadn't ventured further off than the lands of North America, but it didn't matter in the end. He had explored and he had returned, now he was walking step by step alongside the lovely lady beside him and getting nowhere with his silly little flirtatious ways. His eyes that trailed over the woman seemed to laugh softly as the lady turned her face away. He smiled softly at the words she spoke but he didn't agree with her, instead he just shook his head and watched the birds that flitted about, diving into the grasses and darting through the trees. "Try telling me that again, you might convince me.. one day." He winked at the woman as he chuckled. "Would you have been so adventurous if you'd been alone, if I hadn't whisked you away to travel the lands?" He doubted that she would have but he wouldn't correct her if she stated else wise, not today at least. - Colibri Haki - 05-26-2009 [html] WC: 315
[/html] - Sankor Koios - 06-07-2009 He knew that his comments were beginning to get under her skin but all it did was bring a soft smile to his lips as he continued on. Banter and jesting walked hand in hand with the male, but as did care and concern. He could see that something horrible had stunted the growth of the beautiful girl, more to her psyche than her physical being, but still, it was a sad case indeed. The ghost of a smile that greeted him made him turn his eyes fully to the young bloom as she brush by his silky words with more thoughtful phrases. Sankor straightened up as he turned his sparkling golden eyes back to his newly found friend. "Well, I for one care what a flower thinks. If you don't listen to the flowers and pay attention how will you ever know what will make them blossom or make them wilt." He flicked his tail back and forth as he thought, hesitating for a second before replying. "We don't come with an instruction manual that tells us what to do.. we have to learn.. sometimes the hardest way.." He turned to gaze at Colibri for a moment as he gave her a slight smile before slowing his pace to a gentle crawl so that they could gaze upon the beauty about them. He was silent a moment as he turned his eyes towards a cluster of morning glories that had begun to tightly close back up for the rest of the day as he spoke, "I for one wouldn't mind a few weeds in my garden.. sometimes it's the weeds that are the most beautiful, even if they only shine for a little while each day before shying away from the world." He always had liked morning glories, the soft whites with the dashes of blue, pink or yellow at their hearts. Such delicate blossoms and yet they clung so fierce to the world around them. His voice that filled the silence was interrupted by her disbelief at his own admittance. He turned those forest flecked orbs towards her as he raised a brow. So she didn't believe him, that was fine enough. "You don't have to believe me, as long as I believe myself." His eyes glittered slightly as he glanced off towards the direction of the human village in their own little world. "I'm afraid of many things actually. The disapproval of my friends and family, not knowing what it's like to try new things.. and never completely finding just who I am in this great field of beautiful flowers." he turned back towards her as he suggested. "I think perhaps I'd like to be a thistle. Beautiful to gaze at when in bloom, but slightly annoying and prickly." He tried not to react to his own words but a slight chuckle blossomed up through his throat as he shook his head, finally just sighing as they continued on. His ears flicked upright as she finally tried to argue against him on the one subject she could not win, not yet atleast. He tilted his head to the side as he smiled and raised his eyes skyward as he asked back, not arguing outright, instead taking a more indirect approach. "Were you having fun?.." He highly doubted that she was having much fun, she seemed so skittish that when he'd spoken back to her that she would have ran for the hills if it hadn't been so impolite. He made a little promise to himself to try and help the girl break out of his shell. He'd heard the rumors of what had happened to her but he didn't know if he could fully believe a rumor but something had shaken the child to her core and he was going to find out. - Colibri Haki - 06-19-2009 [html]
