finally, i'm at the party

That day, if anyone was looking for Temo, they would have to go into town where he was on the roof carefully removing some shingles that were still good. The roof of the house he shared with Jace needed some patching and it had taken him several days of searching the neighborhood to find good ones the same color as what was on the house. It had taken several more days of careful removal of the shingles so that he could reuse them.

It was one such day that he had spent most of it on a roof getting hot and dirty in the sun. A quick look at the sun told him it was time to go to some party that the pack was holding. Jace had mentioned to him that it was a festival. He wondered what it was and what would be happening. His birth pack was not in the habit of having festivals. Occasionally there was a gathering with another pack or two where they had a feast and did some trading.

Temo climbed down the ladder and dusted himself off. The sudden cloud of dirt that he raised made him sneeze. He looked down at himself and frowned. I need to get cleaned up first, he thought to himself. A short walk to a creek, he jumped in and scrubbed at his fur washing out all the dirt and dust. After he climbed out of the creek, he shook out the water from his fur and stayed in the sun to dry as he made his way home.

He arrived home to an empty house and set his tools down in the storage room. Jace must have already left, he thought to himself. He figured she would probably be mad at him for being late, but he was not concerned. He was not fond of being in large crowds. He always felt out of place and that he did not belong. Temo made sure his fur was combed out and presentable and left the house and headed to the gathering.

They lived a ways away from where the area that the pack gathers and it took him a bit of time to walk there. When he arrived, he stayed towards the back, using his dark fur to help blend into the shadows. He was not even conscious that he was trying to hide. It was something he had always done since he was a pup and continued to do today. His eyes scanned over everyone that had already arrived. Some he knew and others that he had met. There were a lot that he had not even met or recognized. he found a good spot to occupy where he could sit comfortably and watch the proceedings and stay out of the way. As he sat down, he saw that Jace had arrived already and was busy talking with Ookami and his mate and he decided not to disturb her having fun with his awkwardness.
