Early with the sun Jazper had decided rather quickly that today was the day he would try to ride a horse. The only problem was he was not about to ask Kansas to teach him. Brother or no brother-in-law. Jazper was too proud to ask for help with such a task from the smaller male. So with his pride and head held high the Knight had started towards Cour des Miracles knowing that they kept horses in stables. Maybe, perhaps, just by chance there would be a horse big enough to carry the 8”3 bulky male. It wasn't too long before the scent of their neighboring pack grew thicker, and finally the large ebony wolf stopped. He lifted his muzzle towards the morning sky and let out a call. Hopefully someone would come who knew a think or two about the horses.
Oh the horses..

What was with the world and horses? Jazper has been wondering that ever since he first meat Heath out and about trying to actually catch a freakin horse. Not eat, but catch. It was a large piece of meat that ran in herds and yet Aniwaya and Cour des Miracles had this odd tendency to ride them and keep them as pets. He had seen quite a few as of late. Kansas' being the newest in his mind. If horses were starting to migrate into Crimson Dreams it was best that he learned a thing or two more about them. He has gained an understanding of why you would want a horse as a pet from Dawali ages ago. Still, he didn't understand any emotional connection to them and he did not grasp the wide variety of horses kept by the wolf community.

The Miracles pack lands were starting to feel more and more like home with each passing day. Having spent the harsh winter on her own she had begun to wonder if she would ever know the feeling of home again. Her fast made friendship with Heath had been the start of her settling in and she now had a place to call her own, the humble little log cabin she had built with her pack mates. She had been the only one with any prior experience with the task but the others had caught on quickly and it seemed they had all enjoyed their accomplishment that day. It was still far from finished but the main structure was built. The coast lands that the pack called home was quite unlike the lands Anann had grown up in the land locked west. However there were the stables and just like her previous home, her life here revolved around them. Largely thanks to the large Friesian stallion and the tight bond they shared. On this particular morning Rem was already wait for Anann when she woke. It brought a smile to her face, to see him grazing as she stepped out of her home. Just couldn't wait, could you? She gave him a light pat on the neck before mounting the horse with a nimble jump. Setting off for their routine morning ride. There was no set path that they followed each day and for the most part it was the unbridled horse that chose the path though occasionally Anann would use the tap of a heel to alter his coarse.
There had been many coming to the borders lately. Most seemed to be wolves new to the area seeking a home much like she had months ago. Anann had yet to answer any such call. Having been in the lands only a few months she hardly felt it was her place even if she had risen significantly through the ranks since her own joining. It was hardly surprising when she heard yet another call coming from the borders. It was close and different from those seeking acceptance into the pack. Wordlessly she urged the horse beneath her towards the call. It took only a few minutes for the pair to reach the stranger at a gentle loop to reach the source. Good morning! She called out as the tall, dark man came into view. The horse under her slowing to a trot before coming to a halt a few feet from the unknown man. What brings you to Cour des Miracles? She asked cordially, a welcoming smile across her maw. The scent of the dreamers was on him. It was comfort, signaling he was much more likely friend than foe. What was with the large men here? This fellow was even taller than her Anatoliy if she wasn't mistaken. .anann003 b {font-weight:bold; color:#8fb5b6; letter-spacing:1px; } .anann003ooc {font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#c7dadb; text-align:right;} .anann003 p {text-indent:25px; padding:5px 10px; margin:0px;} .anann003 {margin:0 auto; width:347px; background-color:#000200; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/ ... ann003.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #aebabb; padding: 200px 0px 5px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#aebabb; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;} </style>

well since you brought cookies..*noms da cookies* xD heh no worries <3, and I'm assuming Jazper does not have his sword with him.
It wasn't often that Anann found herself in the company of a one taller than herself. Well, at least it hadn't been in the lands she had come from in the heart of the mid-west. There were a good three or four males that were several good inches taller than her. Though it was Anatoliy that had captured the stirrings of her heart recently. Quenching any attractions that might have otherwise started to blossom for the tall and dark man before her. Not to mention the thick cloak of scent he wore, making it all to clear he was already a claimed man. Sliding down of her mount to stand on her own two feet, Anann firmly shook the offered hand. It's nice to meet you Jazper. I'm Anann Kelevra. Her own posture was fairly neutral, though never absent the air of confidence the warrior woman tended to emit. She had met a few of the members from Crimson Dreams now, a number that seemed to be steadily growing. The most recent being the Lt. General, Anu. Whom had had a belly full of pups at the time. Do you know if Anu fairing well? Unaware if her litter had been born yet or not, Anann hoped the she-wolf was doing well.
Well, I do believe you are in luck. There were plenty of horses in the stables and while not all were suitable for a new rider, Anann knew there were several calm and docile enough for the task, the trick would be finding one that the wolf before her did not dwarf. If you wouldn't mind walking to the stables with me, I'm sure I can teach you your way around horses. Rem would certainly be large enough for Jazper to ride, but it was up the Rem and Rem alone as to who was allowed on his back and whom was not. Besides the headstrong horse was hardly a mount for a beginner, not to mention the complete lack of bit and bridle required when riding him. Have you been around horses much? From the sounds of it, it was unlikely. Still Anann needed to know just were she would need to start these lessons. .anann003 b {font-weight:bold; color:#8fb5b6; letter-spacing:1px; } .anann003ooc {font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#c7dadb; text-align:right;} .anann003 p {text-indent:25px; padding:5px 10px; margin:0px;} .anann003 {margin:0 auto; width:347px; background-color:#000200; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/ ... ann003.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #aebabb; padding: 200px 0px 5px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#aebabb; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;} </style>

xD yea Anann rarely ever has her swords with her lol
The Lt. General had not been on Anann's mind a whole lot, but her throughts had drifted to the tawny woman and her belly full of pups a few times. Wondering how she was fairing and if the pups that had eagerly kicked at their mother's side had yet ventured into the world. The pride was clear on the his face as Jazper announced the birth of the three boys. Anann's own face beamed at the news. While pregnancy, especially the idea of her own, terrified the honey-hued woman she was glad to know that all was well in Anu's world. She would have to make a visit soon. Anann would not know what to make of the pups, but Rem would be excited even if she was not. Good, strong names. I hope they do not give their mother too much trouble. The man placed an ebon hand on the similiarly colored shoulder of the horse as the words came from her mouth, not giving her oppertunity to advise against it. At least someone is making up for Cour des Miracles' lack of pups. She teased. They had a few youths around sure, but nothing of recent, new life.
Rem had been rather gentle and carefree around the other members of the Dreams pack. Though they had all been females, and such an attitude did not often extend to males. At the touch, the horse's head arched up, triangular ears swiveled back in annoyance. A snort of indignant and a glare, as if asking the tall werewolf And just who are you to think you can touch me? The horse moved, so that the hand fell away before turning to the face the black wolf, ears now swiveled forward and casual. The velvet-like nose sniffed at the face of the man a moment, blowing hot air from his nostrils in the others face. Then abruptly roaming away, no longer interested.
You're lucky you didn't get bit for that one. A slight amusement to her tone. Anann was a little surprised he hadn't been. Though Rem had mellowed greatly since they had left Tosawi, no longer nearly as aggressive and protective as he had once been. Nodding as Jazper mentioned Heath as they walked towards the stables. Heath is a good friend of mine. The first friend she had made in the pack, or even this region of the world. It was hardly a stretch to say he was probably the reason she had ended up in the Cours pack at all. We will start with some basics then. And don't worry, I'll set you up with something nearly as um, aggressive as ol' Rem here. She motioned over her shoulder to the friesian stallion that followed behind them at a distance.
Nanny, really? she asked laughing, pup chasing just really wasn't her thing. Warrior, Hunter, sure. She shrugged. I tend to lend my hand were ever it is needed for now. Vigilante had talked to her about taking up a co-rank, but she just really hadn't decided yet what she really wanted to commit herself to. In Tosawi she had been a warrior. A damn good one at that. She would always be a warrior, but it was no longer her profession. I also do some tanning and leather work. .anann003 b {font-weight:bold; color:#8fb5b6; letter-spacing:1px; } .anann003ooc {font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#c7dadb; text-align:right;} .anann003 p {text-indent:25px; padding:5px 10px; margin:0px;} .anann003 {margin:0 auto; width:347px; background-color:#000200; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/ ... ann003.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #aebabb; padding: 200px 0px 5px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#aebabb; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;} </style>

Table by Gen
Sorry for the lag, ot is killin my postin time x.x and yes we will have to haz a thread when I gets my anu bebe. lol Jazper and Anann have alot it common, its kinda funny. homg!! Super long post sorry x.x
Despite the calm and even temperament that Anu seemed to carry, Anann figured boys would still be boys and that it was unlikely the the trio would not find themselves in some sort of trouble at one point or another. It was an inevitability of youth. Besides the best learning came from making mistakes. Yes, if they have their mother's temperament, I'm sure they will raise little fuss, but boys will still be boys. Anann had certainly gotten into her fair share of trouble with her brothers and sisters when they had been pups, but lacking a mother it had been Rem that they had had to answer too. Despite his more aggressive nature with males, Rem was an absolute softy when it came to youth of any species. He had more or less raised Anann and her siblings, with the help of the Tosawi wolves, of coarse. So Anann was no stranger to the idea that it took a pack to raise a litter. I had no mother, so I know how important it can be to have the support of a pack in raising little ones. I was lucky, my siblings and I were never without a mother, even though are own died during my birth. Hopefully your six don't cause near the fuss the six of us did. I had three sisters and two brothers. A nostalgic smile crept across her maw. As far as Anann knew her sisters will still living well, however her brothers had left this world well over a year ago.
Anann considered her pack to be rather young. The pack itself was just over a year old and most of the members too seemed to be Anann's age or younger. She doubted it would be long though before they were just as over run as the dreamers with new life. There are several young couples here, so I'm sure we will have our own litters. All in due time. As for herself, Anann was in no hurry to settle down and have life growing in her womb. In truth it was greatest fear. Her mother, and her mother's mother had died during labor. She fully expected to share the same fate and had been raised believing thus. Eventually she would be a mother, no matter how briefly, but she hoped it would still be years until that time. Though even without whelps of her own she would do her best to make sure that the Cour's lands would stay a safe haven for its pups.
It would not take long for the two wolves to reach the stables, even though there pace was rather slow as they seemed rather caught up in there conversation. Anann's face lit up at the mention of sparring. One of her most favorite past times whether it be in earnest or just for fun. Oh, Id love too! It did not really matter to her what manner of sparring Jazper was interested in she was game. Hand-to-hand or armed combat? Or our more...primal forms? I'm most skilled with a sword, but Ill try anything once. The excitement at the prospect of another sparring partner was palpable in her voice. Anann rarely fought in her other forms though she did keep herself practiced. I hunt simply because it a necessity. Though perhaps we could go for a hunt sometime, as well? A challenge sounds fun. Anann was hardly small herself and her halfling form was quite the hulking mass, making the average deer hardly a challenge even when solo.
At the mention of his bear pelt cloak, Anann could not help but gawk at the man walking beside her. You've got to be kidding! I actually have a black bear pelt I want to fashion into a cloak. I'm not very skilled at clothing at all, so I've been too worried about ruining it to try myself. She had mentioned it to Strelien, who was the tailor for the Miracle's wolves, but he hadn't seemed too confident in working with it. Not to mention the fact that she had not even really spoken to the man since she had become a member of the pack, having met him a couple weeks before she had joined the merry pack of misfits. Normally I turn the hides into buckskin. From there I make bags and pouches, water-skins and things like that. I really don't work with furs very often.
The stables were close, the unique mingled scent of horses, hay, and well, their dung reached them before the it came into view. The scent was not pungent though, and to Anann it was scent of home. Rem went trotting around the pair as they walked. Eager to be back in his stall or more accurately back next to Lumiere. After a few more moments, the large horse barn and the circular track that encompassed it and much of the pastures came into view. Once they were inside, Anann would first teach Jazper how to better introduce himself to equine beasts and hopefully find something that she could the onyx man atop. .annanfence b {font-weight:bold; color:#d1a876; letter-spacing:.5px; } .annanfence-ooc {font-style:italic; padding: 5px 30px 5px 30px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; font-size:10px;color:#d1a876;text-align:center;} .annanfence p {text-indent:25px; padding:1px 25px 1px 25px; margin:0px;} .annanfence-border {width:370px; border:1px solid #876439; margin:0 auto;} .annanfence {margin:0 auto; width:368px; background-color:#fcf2e1; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v368/ ... gtable.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #fff; padding: 0px 0px 265px 0px; font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#876439; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;word-spacing:.5px;} .annanfence-divider {width:250px; border-bottom:1px solid#876439; margin:0 auto 5px auto;} </style>[/html]

Soo sorry about the wait on this, work is a killer. <333
Anann laughed herself, as Jazper brought up the fact that girls could cause enough trouble of their own. "Well, I don't know about that. Surely I never caused a bit of trouble as a pup!" Her tone and grin belied the statement as soon as it had left her tongue. All pups were due their own fair share of mischief. It was part of growing up. "My brothers were kept quite busy trying to keep me out of trouble or joining me in it. But it worked the other way around too." The three of them had always been eager to prove themselves and depended on the others to keep from getting in over their heads.
Catching the tall, dark man's understanding look, Anann glanced his way briefly. Her own eyes falling on the trail ahead of his as his turned to do the same. Anann figured it was much easier having never known her mother than having known and lost both parents as Jazper had. Though it seemed they had both found their place in the world despite the challenges. "Blood maybe thicker than water, but love is thicker than blood." Anann too, found her family in her pack.
Anann did her best to contain her excitement as Jazper told her about the small stash of weapons he had. Certain that their sparring match would be anything but dull from the sounds of it. His size alone would insure that, but Anann looked forward to the friendly challenge. "I have had few sparring partners as large as yourself. I'll bring my swords a long then, though I'm more than willing to experiment with whatever else you might have." It was an offer that was just too good to refuse.
"Oh please, the sparring is pleasure, not work and I would come anyway. But thank you!" She had to consider is next question. "Hm. Hood, I think." Nodding as further confirmation. The stables came into view, signaling it was time to get back to the task at hand and why Jazper was here in the first place. "Right this way." She said as she lead him into the stables. There were several horses out in the paddocks, but Anann hadn't seen the one she had in mind out there already. She was a large buckskin mare, thick and tall she wouldn't have any trouble handling his weight if he wished to ride. Calm and gentle she was perfect for introducing Jazper into realm of horses. Grabbing a halter, that was hanging along the aisle way she stopped outside the stall. "Jazper, this Bonnie," at least that was what Anann had found herself calling the mare. "Hold out your hand, let her get a smell of you." Introductions were important and that was where he had messed up with Rem, laying hand on the stallion before offering a hand for smelling. .ananngitz01a b {font-weight:bold; color:#cccccc; letter-spacing:1px; } .ananngitz01a-ooc {font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#232323; text-align:left;} .ananngitz01a p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .ananngitz01a {margin:0 auto; width:417px; background-color:#0f1012; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/ ... evra01.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #cccccc; padding: 240px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#272727; letter-spacing:.3px; word-spacing:.8px; line-height:12px; text-align:justify;} .ananngitz01a-border1 {width:419px; border:1px solid #2d2921; margin:0 auto;} .ananngitz01a-line1 {width:387px; border-bottom:1px dotted #1a1a1a; margin:0 auto 5px auto;} </style> [/html] |
