OOC:Would it be okay if we predated to Dec 30th?

Today the Knight rose form his bed with excitement. He was feeling well enough to move around, it now being just a week and a few days since his flesh had been ripped open by the bears claws. Now he stood on two legs, able to lean his own wound. Slowly he made his way to the room that human called a bathroom. The pack kept pails of water from the lake in the room to wash up. Removing the bandage carefully from around his chest a frown grew on his face. For a warrior he certainly didn’t car for the sight. The wound was that of four large slashes stretching diagonally down a large portion of his chest. The wound had scabbed over but with movement came the cracking of the scabs and more blood flow. Taking a soaked cloth he dabbed his chest lightly, soaking up the oozing blood. He continued to wash his chest until he deemed it good enough, probably too quickly because of his excitement.


Placing fresh gauze strategically he began thickly wrapping a fresh bandage from just above his waist and up to his arm pits. Unfortunately today wouldn’t go exactly as he planned, due to the fact he couldn’t shift once the new bandages were wrapped properly, or else they would break and the slashes would break open again. Making his way back to his room he quietly moved over to the three sleeping 2 month old pups. It amazed him how quickly they had grown from tiny balls of fluff to running and talking little bodies. Sliding his new pale blue dress shirt over his shoulders he whispered, “Tony. Time to wake up son.” Rolling up his sleeves past his elbows he crouched down beside the bed. “I have a surprise for you today.” His son had been on and on about wanted to go hunting like the other adults. Of course he wouldn’t let him go anywhere near something larger than him, or the same size for that matter, but he could certainly chase a few rabbits, squirrels or mice around. Maybe sneak up on a goose or two like Lucifer had taught him.

Fine with me :3 Tony has a completely blank calender o.0 Sorry for the short post, too. They'll get longer the more comfortable I get with Tony's charrie >.>

Tony had been dreaming pleasantly. He had just bitten the leg of a big ol' bear, and he had it on the run. When the dream bear turned its head and said 'time to wake up son', Tony got confused before everything began to fade to black. He even woke up to that color, his father's face not far away. Snorting with the grumpy way that pups tended to do when awoken, he lifted his head and pawed the sleep from his eyes. "--'issit, Dad...?" The young, chocolate brown pup then locked eyes bravely with his father's, two pairs of identical gold. Not even waiting for an answer, the pup began to stretch--his paws pressing into the sides of his younger brother and sister as they slept--and stepped lazily from the side of the bedding. He was a well-muscled pup--much of it genetic more than earned--and he wanted nothing more than to show everyone just how well he could use that muscle.


"I almos' got the bear," he said with his childish voice, regret lining the edges. He was still too young to yet comprehend the difference between the dream world and the real, and he would've loved to have brought home a bear pelt to show his family. Especially his father. He had seen those claw marks marring Jazper's chest, and had felt instant fury toward the monster that had done it. Luckily, he had had enough tact to avoid that particular subject until then.

OOC:Sorry again for the wait <3 Monday, Wedensday, and Thursday are my busy days for future refference Smile



Watching his pup sleeping he could tell that his little brown and black son was captivated by a very active dream. You could always tell when a pup was dreaming. They made noises and mumbled in their sleep. He choked back a giggle as Tony's little paws swiped at the air. They sure were cute when they were little, it almost maid him feel bad for waking the boy up. “Tonnyy.” He whispered as a response finally came from the little figure in front of him. The grumbling and frustrated words were a sure enough sign that he was awake. One thing that was never very pleasant was waking up a sleeping puppy. They enjoyed letting you know that it was unwelcome behavior on your part.


The Knight waited patiently as Tony stretched his little legs, admiring the result of his and Ghita's genes. Tony was certainly a good pup at heart. Often they would have to remind him not to be so bossy and to let others share what they wanted to do as well, but he had never been one for waiting for others to explain their wants when he could be leading them off on a journey he had all planned out in his own brain. The next words out of the pups muzzle caught Jazper off guard. So, Tony was having trouble with the bear too. Lorenzo had insisted that he needed protecting and should stay in bed because of his injuries and now his little Tony was showing signs of distress too. “I'm sure you'll get it next time.” He reassured.


Trying to navigate his sons brain away from the injury that seemed to be ever present on his chest, Jazper started across the room, stopping in front of the door. “Today we're going to go outside. Just the two of us.” He explained, excitement in his voice. He could remember his first hunting lesson with Lucifer. Of course he had been a couple months older than Tony but it couldn't hurt to start the boy early. Besides, it be some fun father son bonding time even if he didn't manage to catch a single thing. “I need you help getting rid of some nasty rabbits who have been eating all our plants.” Yesterday he had found a few rabbit holes just inside the forest past the valley where it would be easy enough to have a short hunting lesson.

It ish fine :3 I understand, I just didn't know if this thread got pushed off the first list too fast to notice :S Btw, I hereby give you some pp power over Tony, since you are his daddy >.>

He smiled with pride when his father had confidence that he would catch the bear. I'll make 'im pay! He thought with strong conviction. But then... ...What does making some'un pay mean? Only partially awake at the time, he tried to look happy--because he really was--when his father told him that they were going to go out as a pair. Tony admired and adored his father, but having one-on-one time with him was rare, since he had to begrudingly share him with Lorenzo and Fia. "Really...!?" He said with a half-yawn, stumbling forward. The consequental stumble jerked the big pup awake, fear of hitting the floor enough to wake him from the limbo of dreams.


"Nasty rabbits!?" he exclaimed, unmindful that Lorenzo and Fia were still sleeping. Steadily he began to switch back and forth on his feet, anxious to go. He wanted to help in any way he could, and getting rabbits--if they were eating their plants--sounded like a great job. "Les' go! Les' go!" Bounding, he began to run-hop over the floorboards, scrambling to get going. "Come'n, Dad!" After his power-sleep, the energy was beginning to course through the small pup's veins, urging him to do something. For now, he wanted to go hunting the 'nasty rabbits' and maybe try and surprise his dad. The main purpose he wanted to do that was to get Jazper's mind off of worse things...and he just really wanted to...

Although it worried him that the boys thought he was incapable of beating the bear for them it amused the warrior that the two little ones thought so big for such tiny guys. Of course they weren't tiny compared to their sister or other pups but in his eyes they were his little guys and always would be, just like Aro and Sophie would always be his pups in his heart. It was still cute that they thought they could take on a bear between the two of them. Luckily Fia hadn't made a big deal over the marks lining his chest as her brothers had, leaving him a little pride left. The Knight was torn between having done the act for the safety of his family and having hurt, almost killed, an innocent animal who was friends with a member of the family. It certainly was a strange predicament.


Tony's sudden excitement brought Jazper's mind back down to reality and focusing on the task at hand. Chasing rabbits would be a very exciting possibility for all boys Tony's age. Faster than he could process his son was on the floor and moving around, hoping on the floor with all the energy of a young pup. “I'm comin', I'm comin'!” He chuckled as the Knight started out the door motioning for his son to follow. The two quickly made their way to the back of the manor and started the short walk through the valley. “Now, we have to be very quiet and stay low so they don't see us.” Stopping the father crouched down, a small wince from the pain in his chest. “What do you think we have to do now?” Lucifer had let him figure out most of his first hunt, landing him with a bleeding ear and a beak shaped cut for numerous weeks. Sitting down in cold snow he couldn't help but feel a little proud of himself. It had taken a few years to get to this point in his life and there was nothing he loved more than his pups.

Derp-de-la-pup? <3

Tony sped alongside his father, practically flying with all the bouncing and bounding he was doing. All movement save for the impatient wiggle of the pup's tail ceased as his father crouched to the ground, Tony following suit. For all that he wanted to be stealthy, his tail still wagged and was like to spin so fast it would carry the pup away. His father asked him what they had to do next, and Tony had to scrabble around in his brain for a few moments to process anything but 'get the nasty rabbits'. "Uh...catch them? What else do you do, Dad?" Other than find the prey and catch, just what else did one do? Walk up to them and have a conversation? Tony honestly didn't know.


He had seen some of the other wolves stalk prey once or twice, but he thought that was just because they were showing off how silent they could be. That wasn't Tony's style. He liked to make a big 'BANG!' Did his father want him to mimic the others and be quiet, too? Mulling that over for a few moments, he corrected his question, wanting to please Jazper. "Creep up on 'em...?" he tried again, more tentatively, more unsure. It was all so new and exciting to the pup that all he could do was imagine the praise he would get when he ousted the rabbits from their peskiness. Well...that, and he wanted to see what would happen when he did in the first place. He had snuck up on Fia and Zo hundreds of times and sat on them till submission. Was hunting the same? It sure seemed like it...

Tony's excitement caused the young father to grin ear to ear. How could he have been so lucky? Here he was, just a year after meeting Ghita, and now he had a beautiful family. Aro had grown into a strapping young lad and quite the ladies man for now and Sophia was out and about leaving and returning in the middle of the night to do her own thing in the city. Little Fia was so beautiful and small but she knew how to keep her brothers in check. Tony and Lorenzo were growing into their own little men with personalities that rubbed each other but brothers were brothers. Hopefully Aro would help him moderate any fights when they reached shifting age. He was sure that the boys would become more and more competitive as their hormones started raging and they started trying to find mates. God forbid they set their sights on the same fey. The simple thought of the two large pups falling for the same girl caused stress to bubble inside of him.


Shaking his thoughts away from his boys he smiled gentle and waited for Tony to settle on an answer. “Yes yes. Good.” Obviously they would have to catch them, but could he think past that? “So, to catch them first off we have to make sure that they don't catch our scent or hear us. Also, rabbits are pretty darn fast so we have to sneak up on them then pick out one that might be slower than the others. Young, old, or injured are generally what you want to get.” Lucifer had insisted that he not go after the sick ones, in fear of giving the pack the sickness. However, Jazper was certain that there were no sick rabbits as he had been monitoring them through the winter in hopes of seeing signs of reproduction for the spring. “Lead the way Captain.” He instructed as he moved onto his hands and knees. Being unable to shift down he would have to stay as close to the ground without moving very much. Perhaps he would wait until Tony made his move into their vision before he moved much further. Patting Tony on the head he whispered, “Good luck.”

HOW HAVE I LEFT THIS ALONE FOR SO LONG!? D:>

Jazper's long sentences made a little sense to Tony, who (still being only two months old) could only partially distinguish complicated things. When his father praised him, Tony positivly glowed with pride; answering in some sort of correct form was a large accomplishment to him. "How d'we hide our smell?" he asked. He didn't think that one could turn off oneself's scent as easily as one flips a lightswitch (although he didn't know what that was either...).


Tony's eyes became filled with fire when Jazper called him Captain--oh how that made him happy!--and when his father crouched down to his level to pat his head. It was a funny-good sort of feeling, being praised. He almost pounced into a funny sort of crouch where his rump was high in the air--tail still going--and his nose almost plowing into the ground. He smelled the rabbits alright, and it made his mouth water, even though he couldn't partake of whole, unchewed meat as of yet. He stalked the ground, creeping along with his father up to the space where the rabbits supposedly were. He had to control himself with an iron will--which was even harder, since such a thing had yet to fully develop in him--to keep from yipping too early. But there! He saw them; a few white rabbits hopping along in some bushes, eating what was left of the brackish greenery in winter. Against the snow Tony was easy to spot, but in the cover of twigs and branches he blended into the similarily brown-black bark (especially since he was so small).


With a pounce using all the strength his little body could muster, Tony leapt into the center of the rabbit group and, yipping now with full abandon, jumped around trying to land one. The rabbits had been so panicked that a few had stumbled in the snow. Being unused to targeting prey, persay, Tony had not done as such and just jumped around. But he was having so much fun! A lucky chance caught him by surprise, letting him land one of his overly-large paws on a rabbit leg, the rabbit itself having run into a tree trunk by accident, dazing it momentarily. Tony did as his instinct urged him to do--although he had no consciousness of it--and went for the throat, although all he could do was squeeze with what strenght he had since his puppy teeth did not yet puncture.
