WC: 487 OOC: hope you don't mind me joining in :3

Shawchert had finished his patrol around the perimeter of Cercatori. The former leader felt better, though he was still in turmoil over Sky, she had been upset with him still. He would have to prove to her that he was here for good and he wouldn't let anything harm the canines that lived in this pack. Since he was done with his daily vigil, he found himself looking around town, an unfamiliar face was passing him by, before he could stop her to introduce himself she was inside a house as though she had not seen him. 'She must be that new' he thought. He found a shaded tree near Orin's old house, the bookstore had been. He wasn't sure if someone was taking it, but it had been cleaned of blood and of course the evidence that any violence had been inside that house in particular. His thoughts were not on that house but on Sky. He looked at the house, with the skulls that were moving in the wind banging into each other. How could he get her to know he didn't leave her, well he left, but he had every intention of coming back. Why hadn't she read that damn letter? He was furious with himself. He pulled out his knife and the piece of wood he'd been working on, it was another present for Sky, why couldn't she see he never stopped loving her? Was there someone else? That thought scared him just as much. She was beautiful, young, and he knew she was over bearing at times, but she was sweet when she wanted to be. His hands were moving now at the thought of her words she had once said to him, lightened his mood a little. That was when he caught movement. It was that female that had passed him by. He stopped and spoke.

"Hello, you must be new around here. My name's Shawchert Menue"

He smiled lightly, but the man did not have his old vigor to him. He was far too torn on the inside to have the happy go lucky man back out in the open again, especially after the murder of his son, disappearance of his other family as well as Orin, and the more recent murder of his mother. He was a walking target it had seemed. Everyone wanted him to stay unhappy. He was still unhappy but for the reason Sky was still rejecting him. He stood up, his height was quite intimidating and he knew it, but he couldn't help that part at all. He wore a loincloth as he had aquired the idea from Bangle, and wore a belt with a sword on his waist, the rest of him was bare save for the wooden flute that hung from a thick sturdy string around his neck.

Shawchert was used to the reaction that he got from the woman. That didn’t mean he cared for it, but he didn’t make a big deal of it, he chose to ignore it and try to make himself less intimidating, though that was quite hard to do at his height, but his smile helped. He held he hand up at her apology.

“No need to apologize, being in a new area, and seeing a place you want as your own is overwhelming.”

He said with a nod of his head. She had been accepted by Skye which was not uncommon. He had figured it was Skye that was doing the formal greetings these days.

“So how do you enjoy Cercatori so far?”

The large man asked casually and curiously. He could tell she didn’t know he was the former leader of the pack, or the founder next to Skye. He could tell the woman did respect the capitana and this was good. Shawchert knew that the structure of the pack depended not just on the leader but on the members itself, he had learned this the hard way and failed in his own leadership, and he wouldn’t take the mantle back up in any type of hurry.

OOC: The board runs on liquid time, which means the date the thread itself is posted is the day it is started unless specified otherwise so this thread takes place the 31st of July. Even though we are posting days later for these two it will still be the 31st of July, the caravan starts August 2nd which means in no way will it clash with the threads. You can have as many threads as you feel comfortable with. There was a time where I had 20+ open threads with just Shawchert alone, always be aware of the date as well as any OOC for backdating or predating so that things don't clash any posts made after the initial post is usually the same day as the initial post unless otherwise mentioned ^^. I hope that helps and feel free to ask any question you want that's how you learn ^^

Shaw listened to her and smiled, it was nice to hear things were peaceful and he would try to keep it that way from now on. He nodded at her in agreement. He could die happy if he knew that things would be quiet and peaceful forever, but that was impossible not with wolves that had been like Argul, or even ones who were contradictary, which he had met in the past.

“I’m glad that you are enjoying yourself here.. It is nice and calm though I hope we get more life going again. We had many little parties here and there when it first started, though we only had a few out right celebrations that have been... something to not miss out.”

Her question made him think. Many were going on this caravan and he was not sure whether he should go or not, well he knew his answer now, but the decision had been hard to make. Shawchert shook his head.

“I will be here, but I’ve contributed to the caravan. I do hope you all stay safe. It’s definitiely an adventure, not one i’m willing to take this time, maybe next time though.”

He said, he was torn to go, but wasn’t too sure he was not one to handle trades and barters, he left that up to the others, he just made the craft idems people needed or wanted.
