A stolen tank on a rampage

Rather short--I gotta leave for my meeting now! Arrrgghhh :O

He was feeling pretty tired, but not quite tired enough to go home yet. Gideon was a pup that was very high in energy, but he'd spent a lot of this day playing with Nayru and running around Dahlia de Mai. Right now he was headed back to the house so that he could take a little nap. Then he'd feel a lot better and would be able to go out and play even more! It was early evening, but he was getting older now and could stay out later.

The pup was making his way around the little town within Dahlia when he smelled a peculiar smell. His nose wasn't very good but he was able to track the scent farther into the city. What was it? It smelled...metallic. Turquoise eyes glanced curiously around as he walked, searching for the source of the smell. He had never smelled something so strange before!

314 and hai there

As the Great Grey continued to mill about the shop, the fading light signaled it was time to start shutting down for the day. Saluce fumbled around with dagger in its rough form as he worked on fitting the hilt and guard to it, the intricate designs on it already shown threw as his eyes studied his work before setting it down to go about other tasks. He hoped the recipient of this weapon would like it because the wolf had spent quite a lot of time fashioning it. Soon he would find at though.

Long arms reached down to cut off the supply of air to forge, the shutter responded with a loud clang as it slammed shut. Standing back up he moved toward the anvil, chisel in hand to remove the days build up. With practiced taps with the hammer and chisel the buildup was easily removed. Satisfied with his work a long sigh escaped his lips as he stretched his form. Soon his leg would be strong enough for training, to keep his skill set honed to deadly proficiency but for now the leisurely pace he had set for himself the past few weeks was somewhat refreshing. Thinking of a swim before retiring for the evening, he shrugged and went back to work putting away tools. Finding a broom again he went about another chore before he would leave his shop and head back to the home he had adopted a few yards away.

Yawning with sleep filling his mind he took another look back at the shop before exiting it. Saluce’s blue orbs looked about the dimly fading light of the sun and came across a small figure outside of his shop. “Greetings…” he thought for a moment the boys scent and appearance being recalled in his mind before he was able to address him proper “Gideon? Is it?”

hai Big Grin

He hadn't expected to find another wolf out and about at this time of the evening, and was pleasantly surprised to see the male emerge from his shop. Gideon's tail wagged, remembering who the other wolf was from their meeting a few weeks prior. He had barely caught the other's name then but it came to mind as soon as he saw his face. Saluce!

"Hi! Yeah, dat's my name" He was proud that he had made a big enough impression on Saluce for him to remember his name too. He kept his stance slightly submissive to the older, larger, more experienced male as the other greeted him. Back in his last pack, the hierarchy had been strictly enforced. Conor didn't seem to mind if he wasn't shown the utmost respect, but Gideon felt like he needed to show it to him anyway.

Turquoise eyes looked up at Saluce happily, tail wagging quickly. "You smell like...dat weird smell! I kinda like it" He tried to look behind Saluce, still seeking out the source of it. "You makin' that smell?"

ahhh boo, post ish bad

A puzzled look crossed his face as he watched the younger Male show a sign of respect. True the male had never been in this type of social institution but instinct was hard to break and his head dip in respect to the younger. Crossing his arms he returned his gaze that hinted at the fatherly capability within him as he smiled listening to Gideon. So much in the world seemed to be new and exciting to him and Saluce almost envied him, having remembered a time in his life when he acted in much the same manner.

“Smell?” he sniffed his arm as if not believing what the boy was referring to. Then with a quick smile he shook his head. “Ahh well that’s what Steel and fire make “ he replied almost forgetting that the boy would probably not know of the word steel and the meaning behind him. “well Metal’s. I make weapons and other things with fire and will power”. As if on cue he side stepped let a paw offer a invitation to enter.

“I don’t have much at the moment going on, Was just closing up shop, but you’d like to see I can offer a short tour?”

Gideon was very interested in learning new things. He always thought that the things the adults did were really neat and looked fun, and often wanted to try out things that he saw adults doing. Saluce used a word that he didn't know yet, and he was about to ask what it meant before the male answered it for him. Metals! He had seen some metalwork in the house, on the cabinets and such...but had never stopped to think about where it had come from or what it may have looked like in its raw state.

"Okay!" The boy said eagerly, padding forward so that he might enter. He was going to learn something today, yay! Once he got back to the house he would definitely have to tell Bris about all about it. That he had met up with another packmate, Saluce, and that he had learned about metal stuff.

awesome so far

As the boy would walk into the shop the world of Metal working would be unveiled to him as the center piece, the anvil sat in the middle surrounded by all sorts of tools, with the forge being somewhat off to the side. A small table and chairs sat a little bit away from it all with several different pieces of paper shoved about with numerous drawings littering them. So far the shop hadn’t evolved into the whimsical world of his creation but it had got a good start so far. Saluce just watched as he followed Gideon in with a little bit of a smile escaping his wolven lips.

“This is it” he said quietly waiting to see if a barrage of questions would come forth from the young one. “Metal takes heat to soften and turn to liquid; it is that smell you came across. Metal can make a very distasteful scent depending on the different metals you are using. But sometimes the most awful make the most beautiful images” He smirked quietly as he lead him to the forge and opened it up to reveal the dwindling fire in it.

He hadn't been in many other buildings other than the house, and his tail whipped excitedly behind him. There was so much to see in this place. And Saluce worked here every day? How had he not known about this place earlier? He gazed about, head turning this way and that, looking at everything within his view. He didn't know what much of it was or what it was used for, only what metal looked like.

"Is dere anything you're workin' on right now, Mr Saluce?" He inquired. "It makes sense..dat it would smell funny in here because of the metal being hot. But you have a fire, too? That's super cool! I haven't seen many fires, just one or two...and I've never made a fire myself. My Aunt Bris told me that pups shouldn't play with fire." He said.

Having fun writing shorter posts Smile

Saluce chuckled as the pup continued speaking, so many things where new to him Saluce thought as he went to find Nayru’s dagger. “Yes you should listen to your Aunt Bris, young pups shouldn’t play with fire, it can hurt and harm. Burns are very painful” he added in a fatherly tone hoping that the point would hit home to the young male.

Finally he turned the dagger hidden behind his back as a smirk rose across his face. “If I show you this, you cannot say one word to the person I am making this for. It’s a secret present I am going to give to them when it’s finished”. No he didn’t want Nayru finding out about the Dagger, he wanted the surprise to be written across her blossoming face, especially after the look of sadness she had the last time they had met. Saluce wanted to see her happy. “It’s for someone we know” he added.

Yes; these posts are quite simple and to the point :3 I like it though.

He had never been burned before and the idea of staying away from fire hadn't really been reinforced due to the lack of actual fires that they'd had over the summer (it was hot enough without a fire going), but he believed his aunt and Saluce. If they said that it would hurt, then he would try his best to stay away and would quell the many curiosities that threatened to burst from him. He didn't want to get hurt. "Okayyyy" He said simply.

The older male was hiding something behind his back, and Gideon turned his head to try and see what it was. Was it a present? Or maybe it was something dangerous that Saluce didn't want him to touch. He received his answer soon enough; it was a gift! He wracked his brain trying to think of who it could be for. "Is it for Layla? Or...hmmm. Aunt Bris?" He asked.

Fatherly Saluce all being adult like "316"><

He easily held the dagger from view as the young male tried to steal a glance at it. But Saluce didn’t hear that simple phrase escape the boy’s lips. Shaking his head again in a fatherly fashion to him, almost like some hidden instincts within him had kicked in while the young boy interacted with him he continued to stare down at him with a stern but happy look.

“you have to promise, part of it being a surprise is them not knowing I made it for them” he grinned widely as he pulled the dagger hidden within the beautiful sheath from behind him. “I will be giving this to Nayru soon enough as her gift as she reaches adulthood. A little early yes but I feel like she’s going out into the world and It would do her good to have a weapon to protect herself. Do you agree?” he asked politely to the young boy, maybe later he would do the same for young Gideon, so far he wasn’t sure just how big the boy would get as he grew up into a young man, but he had a feeling a dagger wouldn’t be a suitable weapon for him if he chose to want one in the future. But saluce quietly figured he would make something for him anyways, feeling it an honor to gift young adults with a prized possession as they made their transition from childhood to adults.

Smiling down to the boy he pulled the dagger out of its sheath, the dagger was way too small for his hands but it would be a little big for her still growing hands and she could grow into it he supposed. “It took me almost a month to craft it.” Don’t touch the edge, it is very sharp and will hurt you” he said as he bent down to show him.

Yeah Smile

Gideon's history hadn't seemed to have affected him too much as he grew up. It could possibly have an effect on his future relationships and the way that he felt about mothers and fathers, but other than that the pup had adjusted very well to life in the pack. He'd lived in a pack when he had been very young, a pack with his mother, grandmother, grandfather, siblings, and many other wolves...but he could barely even remember that any more. It felt like he had lived in Dahlia forever, that he had known Aunt Bris and Conor and Nayru forever.

The weapon, it seemed, was for Nayru. At the sound of her name his tail went to whipping back and forth again, and he gave a small jump of excitement. When the blade was held nearer so that he could see it more closely, he stilled. "I do think she would need one...just in case. But I'm there to protect her, so she shouldn't need it too much" He said. "I'm littler, though...but I would bite anyone who tried to hurt Nayru!" Gideon nodded. "Do you have someone you would protect, too, Saluce?"

Such absolute ignorance flowed through Gideon’s mouth but when the behemoth would have brought forth a laugh at the stupidity of such a young male, now he just offered a laugh with a wink. It was only natural that Gideon would have tied strong with Nayru but he feared they were both heading in opposite directions. Something told him that they wouldn’t be spending much more time together as they grew up, but then again he was no prophet. Then his question came across his ears and he wondered if it was truly an alien concept to the boy, Saluce smelled of Layla, almost to the point where both of their scents intermingled. That alone should have been enough for an adult to realize the two where a mated pair. But Gideon wasn’t an adult, and for now he was full of Piss and vinegar, running around without much care about the world. Saluce almost envied him, but as the behemoth smiled quietly he wondered how he would breach that subject.

“Yes I do Gideon, Not only one person but all of Dahlia. You, Nayru, everyone, but to truly answer your question, yes I protect and love Layla. One day when you grow up into a fine example of a wolf, these things will become clearer.” Saluce at the moment was unsure if a Birds and Bee’s talk was in order, soon this young male would take bigger steps into adult hood and that meant he’d start becoming more curious about the opposite sex. Since Connor seemed to be inept in the department of love, maybe there wouldn’t be a better person for the young male to confide in such matters. Saluce sat down patting the concrete beside him.

“So Gideon, when you grow up what do you want to be?” he asked quietly again that annoying paternal instinct was kicking in, and he found himself almost rolling his eyes as he recognized the thought. For the behemoth it was only natural, so many orphans where in Dahlia that needed older wolves to look after him and he was almost ashamed to admit that he felt like he had to be a positive daddy figure for them.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

He knew nothing about the things that went on between male and female wolves. Gideon hadn't had to think much of it yet...he just knew that he really liked hanging around with Nayru and that they got along really well. He would be sad if she was hanging out with other wolves more than him, yeah, but that would be any gender. Male or female. Maybe they could all just play together...that would solve everything!

His nose wasn't too good, and he wouldn't have connected the fact that Saluce smelled like Layla very easily. He also didn't realize what being a mate meant, or what love was exactly. "What does that mean?" He asked. "What's a mate?" He had never been explained such a thing; he'd never thought to ask it.

Gideon looked up at Saluce curiously, then cleared his throat. The older male had asked him another question, and he answered it seriously. "I want to be a good dad someday, like my dad is. He left with my siblings to take them home...but I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay here with Aunt Bris"

OOC.

RAWR!

What does a mate mean? The question was simple, to the point and answering it was an effort for the behemoth to do. Part of the answer Gideon wouldn’t understand, the attraction, the scent of his lover drove him crazy, no matter how many nights they played around he could never get his fill of his dark lady. But the other part, the love, the utter joy of being linked, to another in such a basic but strong level that he wondered if he could even describe that part without the other. Both went hand in hand, the attraction and the love. The question was simple but the answer was difficult and hard to explain.

“Having a mate is like being home. They are your world, you are connected them closer than any other person in the world. It’s like having your favorite food every night and never getting tired of it Gideon. My Love for Layla transcends anything else, she is the wolf I decided to dedicate myself to for the rest of my life. Choosing a mate is a big decision. There are many factors, some of which you are a little young to understand. But in time Gideon you will, and if you ever need someone to talk to about this stuff I am always here to lend advice about being a man” Saluce Patted the young wolfs head with adoration, knowing for now his answer would have to do for the young one. Soon this wolf would figure out that he had his male equipment, start noticing the differences between him and females, and then a whole new can of worms would be opened. When that normally happened, it usually turned out to be a frustrating time for any young male.

Nodding softly to Gideons remarks he only offered a soft laugh “I hope to be a good daddy someday as well!” the behemoth spoke in the same enthusiastic tone that Gideon had. With a smirk the wolf shifted his weight to stand on all fours, the awkward pose slowly diminishing as he continued to shrink down into his lupus form. With a loud playful growl Saluce let himself go low to the ground in a playful pose. It had been awhile since he had allowed himself the simple pleasure of picking on a younger wolf, and now he felt Gideon was a prime candidate.

“On Guard Gideon Stormbringer! You are challenged! What will you do?” Saluce said in a playful tone, knowing eventually this little game would be taken outside.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Gideon was a little worried about some of the things in the shop; he didn't want to knock into anything or break something! He knew that breaking things was bad, and he wanted to do as many things as he could to be good and not bad. So when Saluce challenged him he immediately turned toward the door, pushing through it and running out to the yard. If only it were night time. In the night, he knew, he blended in really well with his surroundings. During the day he really stuck out.

"I think you'll be a good dad!" He thought that his father Drey was a good dad; his dad had come to find his siblings and him once he had found out about them all...and he was trying to reconnect them with the rest of the family. His dad was a great wolf! "You think you can catch me? Cause I don't! I'm real quick!" He said, growling playfully. He darted from side to side, moving his head back and forth as well. "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!" Gideon turned in the opposite direction, darting off into distance as fast as his legs would carry him.

Sorry for teh suck. My muse is gone atm

An excited growl escaped the behemoths lips as he chased after the younger wolf. Once outside the younger male pranced in front of him showing off his agility, but Saluce just sauntered around him until he took off once again. Oh it was never a good idea to run when it was Saluce chasing behind, and soon his form started off after Gideon. For now he just chased behind a few steps letting Gideon feel like he was winning. The wind rippled along his fur as the pace was leisurely for the bigger male as he shouted out playful warnings and silly growls as the game continued.

“You can’t run forever Giddy!” he yelled from behind, and then his legs surged with power, dirt kicked up behind him as his form went into action. As soon as the bigger male was upon him he reached out with his maw to grab a hold of the younger male. To take him down and pick on him as only he could. With a laugh and mock bites to his sides and neck wondering if he would protect himself.

“You either gotta run faster than your opponent or be meaner!” he growled with a hint of a smile upon his maw.

End after your post?

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

He felt teeth nipping at his fur and stopped running immediately, somersaulting as he whirled around to run in the opposite direction. Claws dug deep furrows into the ground as his hind legs propelled him forward and away from Saluce once again. He paused to call back over his shoulder as his eyes sought out a tree that they had passed. Its roots were partially above the ground, creating a small hidey-hole as they intertwined. Gideon would fit in such a hole..but Saluce? "Or be smarter" He shouted as he caught sight of the tree, running straight at the crevice and not slowing down.

Once he was inside of it he went as far back into the hole as he could, keeping away from the entrance. "Can't get me now!" He kicked at a few rocks and pieces of bark, sending them flying out of the hole. There was one larger rock in the very bottom of it and he rolled it toward the front of the crevice, blocking it off for the most part. He could dig himself an exit out of here if Saluce insisted on trying to get him out of there. He'd get away somehow and try to outsmart the adult.

OOC.

Sorry, fighting being sick and a non-existant muse

The little twerp had done his best to shake him but Saluce wasn’t trying very hard. His change in direction wasn’t unexpected but it did take him a little by surprise as his much heavier frame struggled to return the change as quickly as his prey. Then again he was on the little ones tail yet again. He kept pace until Gideon slipped underneath the roots of a tree, obviously he was too big to follow so the wolf walked around the enclosure.

Eyes looking across the ground as his ears swiveled listening for the hidden quarry. This time he would outsmart the kid. With a loud laugh he feigned defeat.

“You win this round Gideon” he said loudly before his form slinked off a few feet away, hiding most of his body behind the tree he was taking refuge behind. Eyes though kept watch over the hole and surrounding foliage, looking for the recently brave wolf to emerge.
