- Ruri Aceline - 06-03-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/ ... 5/ruri.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> The scents on the wind told many things to the blind girl. Depending upon which direction it was blowing, she could smell her fellow packmembers, if they were within range. Being blind might have been an inconvenience on occasion, but the fact that her other senses were keener because of it balanced the equation. The most recent gust of ocean wind had brought with it the nearby scent of her best friend and her king. 'He'd better not be taking a nap!' she told herself. She loved and respected her king like an older brother, but that didn't mean that she couldn't reprimand him when he was being lazy. This was a nice day, why waste it by lying around on a rock. It did not occur to the fragile optime that that had been mostly what she had done over the past week or so that Jacquez had been gone. Granted she had been greatly distressed over his absence and exhausted, but she had still been fairly lazy. That wasn't going to stop her from telling the king a thing or two. She made her way towards the rock where Jac was lying, having memorized more of the area surrounding the cabin. However, the rock he was on was the very extent of her memorized route. Even for someone with as good a memory as her's, there were only so many tangible details of an area that could be memorized. However, what knowledge she had of the route to the rock cut her travel time in half and in about a minute, the delicate border collie traipsed up to the large rock, her keen sense of smell informing her that Jac was right in front of her. "Isn't there something you should be doing right now? Everbody else is off doing something, but you're here sleeping! If you want to be lazy, the least you could do is invite me to be lazy with you," her soprano voice scolded in mock irritation. She couldn't keep up with her ruse for long, however, as she laughed almost immediately after she had spoken her last words. The slate and ivory dog did her best to feel her way up onto the rock, only stopping when her hand touched Jac's fur, which told her that she was next to him. If he was going to stay lying down, he'd have to make room for her. - Jacquez Trouillefou - 06-05-2009 [html]
- Ruri Aceline - 06-05-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/ ... 5/ruri.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> Right after she sat down next to Jac on the slab of warm rock, she folded her arms in disapproval of Jac's excuse. "What could I possibly have been doing? I'm blind remember? I can't do anything really useful without help," she replied with a slightly scoffing, but amused tone. Her ability to detect when the king was fibbing or not had grown gradually over her time with him to the point where trying to hide something from her was almost pointless. She still couldn't figure out why he kept trying, however. Perhaps that was just in his persistent nature never to give up. Fortunately for Jac, Ruri was not really in the mood to scold him anymore. As long as he knew she was still wise to most of his tricks then she would be content. The blue merle and white collie girl smiled when Jac mentioned their family. It had been odd for her to make friends with all of them so quickly. The fact that she'd been separated from Jac and thus in need of companionship had driven her to be openly accepting of all who were nice to her. It hadn't just been her fellow pack members that she had befriended either. As she sat there, next to Jac, her thoughts drifted momentarily to the quiet, and slightly secretive male who had visited her only three days after she had arrived on these shores. Why had Heath not come to see her again? He had seemed to enjoy her company and she certainly had enjoyed his, although at the time she would have enjoyed anyones company as long as it diverted her attention from her depression. Her pale blue eyes wandered aimlessly, being protected from the direct sunlight by a few strands of her long, silken hair. Hopefully the male would travel this way again sometime. She would like to talk to him again, now that she was not the depressed basket case she had been when they had first met. She was snapped out of her dreamlike state of mind by Jac's booming voice. She laughed as Jac spoke of how he and she were the minority in these lands. He had offered to describe her friends to her, to which she smiled and shook her head gently in a negative fashion. "I appreciate the offer, Jacquez, but I don't think describing them to me would do me much good. Visual descriptions don't mean anything to me, since I don't know what the words refer to," her soprano voice twittered in a gentle laugh before she resumed speaking. "I prefer to characerize my friends based on different things, like smell and touch. Take you for instance," she paused and laid her delicate hand on his shoulder, running her fingers through his fur."My image of you, is a very strong, soft-furred person, with a deep voice that I can hear from a great distance. You're a lot taller than me and you don't where human clothes like the others do on occasion. You smell, mostly of the sea; and more often than not you have the faint scent of some sort of alcohol lingering on you," she giggled in an almost puppish fashion before finishing, "You're personality also makes up a large part of how I see you, although it would take me too long for me to tell you just how wonderful I think you are. I missed you a lot, Jac." She smiled before lying down beside Jac and wrapping her arms around him in a display of the deep, familial affection she had for him. She hadn't been able to give him a hug the day he had returned, so this hug was going to make up for that time as best as possible. - Jacquez Trouillefou - 06-08-2009 [html]
- Ruri Aceline - 06-08-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/ ... 5/ruri.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> Ruri smiled, feeling a bit embarrassed when Jac described how she helped the pack. That wasn't such a big deal was it? All she did was talk with those who needed it, and sing occasionally. She liked to do that, and it just seemed like common courtesy to her. Was that really being useful? Her half-folded ears flicked atop her head as she pondered the answer to her silent question. "Thanks Jac, I appreciate that. It makes me feel better to know that you think I'm useful," she replied. What difference did it make whether she thought she was useful or not? If Jac thought she was doing something good, then she must have been doing something right. He did know a lot more about this sort of stuff than she did anyway. The slender femme removed her arms from around Jac's body, only to rest her head on his shoulder, enjoying the warmth of his fur. This had been one of her habits since she was a pup. Whenever she'd caught Jac sunbathing, she'd always come ly next to him, at least until she got to warm. Unbeknownst to her, her blue merle fur absorbed more of the sun's rays than Jac's lighter coat, thus making her get hotter sooner. She of course, thought she was just less tolerant to the weather than Jac was. Fur color was completely meaningless to the blind girl. Hearing Jac say that things weren't the same without her made her beam with happiness yet again. She was glad to know that Jac needed her, just like she needed him. "Do you remember that old shirt you gave me? That one I would where to keep warm during the winter? I lost it when the ship sank. Do you think maybe you could find me another one? I probably won't need it anytime soon. The weather seems to be getting warmer. I thought I would just bring it up, so that you might think about it the next time you go to the city, wherever that is."The shirt Ruri was referring to had been an old wool sweater that Jac had given her when she was little. In her days as a pup, she had used it as a comfortable blanket, but when she had learned to shift she would wear it one those occasional days when it would be cold down south, especially when it was raining. Being that they now lived in an area that got cold more often than not, it only seemed logical to the thin furred female to try and get something to keep her warm. She knew Jac would probably forget, but she knew that if she told him now, it might resurface in his memory sometime when he was in the city, or at least she hoped so. - Jacquez Trouillefou - 06-09-2009 [html]
- Ruri Aceline - 06-09-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/ ... 5/ruri.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> Hmm I suppose she could. I hadn't thought of that. If it's alright with you, oh pack leader, then sure Ruri can be the Lautari ^_^ Ruri smiled as the conversation rapidly turned to a new topic. Talking with Jac was always interesting. "Piercings? Yes, I do think I know what your talking about. They always sounded so very painful to me. I don't know why you'd want to put a hard piece of metal through any part of your body, especially anywhere on your face. I mean, wouldn't it make your ears hang weirdly if you had a piece of metal waying them down? I don't even want to think of how annoying it would be to have one on my lip or eye brow. They just sound so inconvenient," she replied, her musical voice carrying a tone of distaste at the idea of a piercing. That was her opinion at least. If Jac wanted one, he would likely get one whether she approved or not. After all, she could be completely wrong regarding piercings. Fortunately the blind girl was not allowed to ponder the idea for very long as Jac consented to helping her find something to keep her warm. It hadn't occurred to her to ask Firefly, but when the king made the suggestion it made complete sense to her. Surely Firefly would know where to find what she was looking for. Ruri's plumed tail wagged behind her happily at the thought of getting something new to wear. She had always liked the soft feeling of her woolen sweater against her fur, that and the insulating effect it had. All they would have to do would be to find something that felt nice and kept her warm and Ruri would be ecstatic. "I'll have to ask Firefly about it when she comes back," she announced, excited to discuss the topic of clothing with fiery woman. She nuzzled Jac in silent gratitude for his suggestion. - Jacquez Trouillefou - 06-16-2009 [html]
- Ruri Aceline - 06-17-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/ ... 5/ruri.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> ooc: My post wasn't much better. Perhaps we are both being afflicted by minor writer's block. Oh well. Thanks for requesting Ruri's Co-rank. It'll be nice for Ruri to finally have an official job that she can do. She'll be happy XD Ruri's jaw dropped in shock, her body shuddering slightly at the thought of the discomfort a piercing would induce on her tongue. "Oh, Jac, that sounds just awful! Why would you do that? I mean...surely that would hurt far more than on your ear or eyebrow or something, but...goodness, your tongue!?" She questioned in a concerned, shocked tone of voice. Surely Jac was joking? There were numerous reasons the sensitive girl could think of not to get a piercing on one's tongue. First off, the discomfort of having something poked through the tongue. The blind collie girl knew how it hurt to bite her tongue and she could only imagine that a piercing would hurt worse than that. Then there was the issue of the stud possibly weighing down one's tongue. That would make it difficult to talk wouldn't it? The list of concerns ran on in the girl's mind, and she could have begun to name her concerns had Jac not adeptly changed the subject to divert her attention. "I like everyone in Cour des Miracles, Jac, although I do find talking with Firefly to be quite fun. I'm not sure what sort of girly things you could possibly be referring to, but...I guess I agree with you," the musical, soprano voice carried an agreeable tone as the ivory and merle optime continued to lie next to her best friend with her head gently resting on his shoulder and her long, silky hair draped across the stone behind her. This was the best day the delicate collie dog had enjoyed in quite awhile. She didn't care that they weren't really doing anything. All she cared about was that she was relaxing with Jac, something she enjoyed almost more than anything. - Jacquez Trouillefou - 06-24-2009 [html]
- Henratha Gyrkin - 06-26-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/ ... 5/ruri.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> Whoops, wrong account. Oh well, at least I used the right table ^^'. So, Miyu, shall we end this thread?
The ivory and slate hued girl frowned at Jac's mention of the speach impediment he was prepared to incur upon himself with the piercing he desired. She would have to oppose this with as much might as her fragile form could muster. Not being able to hear her best friend speak would deprive her of one of her favorite things in life. Since hearing was one of the ways she viewed the world, she wouldn't want to have an integral part of her life blocked by such an unnecessary thing as a piercing in her best friend's tongue. "Are you sure you'd rather not get a piercing in your ear or some other place? I like your voice just the way it is, and if you couldn't talk, I'd be very upset." She spoke with definite sincerity and a slight pout on her face. Although she herself could not see it, the blind girl had learned that making such a face had occasionally forced Jac to relent from whatever course of action he had planned on taking. It was odd that a girl whose eyes proved useless for their intended function of sight could be so skilled in producing a puppy-dog, sad-eyed pout. Fortunately for Jac, he would not have to look at Ruri's pouting face for long as he had changed the subject once again, causing Ruri to focus on listening, rather than dissuading her friend from piercing his tongue. The idea of having more girls to talk to was very appealing to the adolescent collie girl. Being that her closest companion was Jac, Ruri had grown up without any girl friends to talk with and as a result she was quite uneducated in the subtleties of womanhood. "I think I'd like that. You're so busy these days with your kingly duties that I get left without people to talk to for hours at a time. It'd be nice to have more people to talk to." The innocent-minded girl would have been content to make friends with anyone who joined the pack, after getting to know them of course."I like it here very much, Jac, although some of the terrain is a little hard for me to navigate. I've managed to memorize most of the area around the cabin. That's how I was able to find you so quickly. I'll be happy anywhere you take me...as long as you're there of course," the devoted girl giggled after she quickly added the last part to her response. As long as she was where Jac was, she was content. Although everyone in Cour des Miracles, especially the royal court, was her family, she was by far the closest to Jac. Anyone who observed her with him might think she was attached to him by an invisible rope, for she was never too far from his side. She was, in every sense of the word, the perfect sidekick to the king, and she intended to stay that way. So with her last response given, Ruri adjusted her position slightly, still resting her head upon his shoulder. If they wasted the entire day just basking in the sun, she wouldn't care in the least. Right now, everything was perfect. |
