+326 - Eeer, moving him now to avoid Alaki going on a murder spree xD

Rage and sorrow were a mere understatement to what he had witnessed, for all this time he had feared his nephew without having seen anything to fear. Now he knew better, now he understood clearly that sticking around Anathema was nothing more than suicide; the truth of his relation to the Rakeeb could not be hidden forever and his nephew had clearly shown and voiced his views on relatives; if Alaki found about him, he'd die and not quickly. Glancing around the cave he had livied within for a short amount of time, a small bag upon the floor before him he realised how little he had, how little he had done with his life. Sira had disappeared to, he had looked for her but there was no trace, the Nieves girl had disappeared into thin air. Everything around him was falling around and looking at the small bag, containing everything he owned he couldn't help but wonder why he had clung onto this pack so badly. Moving was so easy, change was nothing new to him and yet he was hesitant to leave.


Picking up the bag, he turned sharply and left without a word, removing himself and any signs of his existence within the caves as much as possible. He was nothing to the canines there; just another canine whom had appeared and left just as quickly, no one would remember him and everyone would forget him. His choice of where to head to was clear and easily made, the new pack; an ideal place to start a new beginning. Pale paws walked forward, moving him towards his destination at a steady pace, his head held low, dark black and red hair falling down across his face, covering both his scar and eye. Time passed as he walked in silence and soon enough he had reached their borders. Titling his head up slightly, he called out into the lands for someone to assist him.

Lalalal 3+


Several days now he had been here and he hadn't seen hide nor hair of anyone else apart from his father and Fia. But then he hadn't exactly gone out of his way to seek out company and engage in conversation. He had mainly stayed in his room and away from everyone. In truth the boy was slightly depressed and although he would never admit it he missed his brother. The fun that they had and the laughter they created, always messing about together and he even missed their fights and when Tony would try to boss him about.


He was moping about near the borders when he heard the call and his light colored ears twisted. He debated whether or not to seek out whoever it was that was calling for attention or to simply leave it for one of the others to get. He turned around, intending to walk away when guilt stopped him. Hadn't he promised his father that he would help? With a grumpy sigh he reversed his direction and walked slowly towards whoever it was, hopefully someone would already be there and he wouldn't have to play nice.


Luck was not on his side however and the person, male, was still stood their alone when he revealed himself from the bushes. This guy was tall, Enzo guessed him to be about seven and a half foot but at eight foot two, the skinny lad dwarfed him easily. He grunted in way of greeting and stuck his hands into the pockets of his warn and tattered jeans, the red baseball cap on his head partially hiding his green and purple gaze, his accent was a soft lilting mix of mild italian and gentle scottish, courtesy of his parents,


"Can ahh help you wi' somethin'?" The teenager shrugged his shoulders to accent his question with movement.

+323 - Great first impression they both are making

Twisting and turning his head from where he stood, he viewed the surrounding area with little interest. One of the few things he had liked about Anathema was the mountains and the mystery they held. This place, Casa di Cavalieri as the strange woman had called it, was boring and empty to him, it didn't lure him with it's beauty like the mountains did, nor like the thick and colourful forest of where he lived before then. Yet, these new lands that lingered beyond the border of scents promised him safety and a new start two things he was in desperate need of and so whether the lands called to him or not, he hoped to call this place his new home. Waiting for someone to answer, he could help but allow his mind to wonder of, his red eye continuing to stare out ahead whilst his mind drifted into a light day dream.


But before he could delve deep into the confines of his mind and fantasy, sounds from the present drew him from the lands his mind had taken him to and it took him a second or two to focus and assess the situation he was in. Turning slightly, he raised an eyebrow out the younger lad who infuriatingly towered above him. No matter how much it irritated him, he had to tilt his head up to look the other in the eye. As the boy spoke, his curiosity instantly flared about the other's accent, but the strangers attitude squashed any thoughts of questioning the accent and instantly put the one eyed male defensive mood. “Ya, if possible I was hopin' to join Casa” he responded, using an abbreviation of the pack name, to lazy to speak the full complicated name. Silently, he waited for the boys response, hoping to dear god someone else came to where they were so he didn't have to deal with a miserable looking teenager.

This post fails in so many ways


The guy with the red hair tensed as Enzo stopped near him so the boy took a step back, he knew he could be intimidating sometimes even without meaning to. He straightened up from his slouch and gave the smaller guy a lopsided smile, some of his old sparkle and life coming back to him for a second,


"Ach o' course you 'ave." He thrust out a large hand for the other to take, "M'name's Lorenzo, Enzo to people who know me. Me' dad's the alpha 'ere.' He shrugged his shoulders again but it was a subconscious movement rather than a rebellious teenage action. A light eyebrow rose and the dark patches beneath his eyes twisted as his smile widened,


"Ahh gues you want meh to call me old man ova' then?"

WC:370+ / Urgh. Sucky post, and omg Cain is immature xD


It seemed that his irritation, or maybe it was intimidation and discomfort, regarding the others superior height had shown in his face or body language somehow. Whatever the case he now found himself consciously making his body relax to conceal his thoughts and the secrets it seemed to reveal, for he was an unknown male seeking acceptance from this new pack and going around picking fights and showing obvious irritation and any form of aggression because a boy is taller than him.. probably would not make a good impression. Sure, it would make him feel better to knock the boy down a peg or two, but his reaction to the others height was stemmed from an inferiority complex of sorts; never before had he encountered such a young and tall male, and it hurt his pride and damaged his self esteem that the boy towered above him. Stubbornly he kept his head titled up so that he looked the other in the eye, not willing to admit to the other nor himself that the other male's height had effected him to such a degree. Egotistical guy that he was, appearances were everything and if he could win with height, he'd win by being the best looking, stubborn guy out there.


Thankfully the boy provided a distraction by speaking and offering an outstretched hand. Looking at the male's hand he considered ignoring the welcome, but knew that would be both rude and immature of him and so he lifted an arm, placing his hand into the others. "Cain. Cain Hayes" he introduced himself, feeling unsure of how to behave around this male; Enzo was taller than him, seemingly outgoing and apparently the alpha's son. And so he choose to say as little as possible and keep to himself. Doing nothing seemed the best way to handle the kid, for once and if he was accepted he could avoid the boy and get on with his life, he merely had to tolerate the child for now.


"Yeah, if you could" he responded, before mumbling a reluctant 'thanks' afterwards. He knew he was being incredibly childish and immature to be sulking about the whole height ordeal, but it bothered him for some reason.

Jaz-man

WC:300+

The call had reached his ears though the leader was in no particular mood for finding out who the source was. His mind had been busy with the Courthouse. Ever since they arrived the small group had been cleaning the place up and although there was quite a lot of progress there were many rooms in the basement in need of cleaning and there was still plenty of dust everywhere. It would be a large chore for the pack if they were going to clean everything up by winter.


After a few minutes of standing around in the main lobby of the Courthouse the Sole sighed. There was no use standing around thinking about that had to be done. Turning on his heels he headed out of the building, down the stairs and towards the call. Someone had to have answered it by now but curiosity overcame him as there had been silence since.


The giant sniffed the air following any signs of a stranger along the boarders. Sure enough he caught whiff of the stranger and Lorenzo. Growing on the alert he slowed and stood a little taller, displaying dominance as the two males came into sight. “Hello there.” He greeted in a calm tone as he took a place beside his boy. “What business do you have here?” The question was asked of the darker wolf but Jazper’s eyes wandered from Enzo to the stranger curious as to what had been discussed before he arrived. Both males seemed to be fairly void of emotion as when he had caught sight of them. Catching himself he introduced himself with a brief dip of his head, “I’m Jazper Rhiannon-Knight, alpha male of Casa di Cavalieri.” The pack’s name rolled off his tongue as though he had been saying it for years.

D: taking enzo out now so you can proceed with the joiner without me derping shit up

The other guy shook his hand after some hesitation and introduced himself as Cain. An amused grimace pasted itself onto his face at the others obviously immature behavior. Enzo guessed it was still the height thing and barely resisted the urge to chuckle at Cain or comment on it. However he was used to adults acting like kids instead of... well adults. Tony was a good example of this and in fact so was Lorenzo himself. It was strange however to see it coming from one so old and thier was no doubt that he was old, his scent smelt aged and he had lived at least 4 summers already.

It turned out that calling for the alphas was not necessary as rustling announced his father's arrival. His ears pulled back as the only slightly larger male appeared from the pack's depths. Now that Jazper was here Lorenzo could leave, he didn't wanna disturb his father whilst he was dealing with new joiners, so he nodded to Cain and turned to leave,

"ah'll see you laters then." He tipped his hat and walked off into the pack's territory.

WC:292+ / Fail post again, sorry <33


Keeping his expression neutral, he ignored the pale male's amusement and pulled his hand back as soon as the opportunity was there. Looking at the boy, he waited somewhat patiently for the kid to call his father so that he could speak with leadership about joining. From what he understood, his skills with weapon forging were in his favour and would hopefully be put to use within the pack; for that was all he really had to offer. Apart from a knack with weapons, he was virtually useless; he was lazy, immature, a poor hunter and only average when it came to combat itself. It wasn't that he was being negative about his abilities, he simply saw them for what they were and accepted that he would never be good at many things that came naturally to others. Whilst one canine could hunt with ease, he could arm a pack with a variety of weapons without really thinking too much. That was simply who he was.


Before the boy, Lorenzo as he had introduced himself, could call upon the leadership it would seem that a leader had heard and belatedly answered his initial call. Turning his full attention to the new male, it was obviously clear where Enzo had gotten his height from. “I'm Cain Hayes, previously a member of Anathema, I was hoping to join your pack” he tried to avoid answering in detail but knew he would have to explain that his nephew may or may not be a possible problem in the future and so it would onlt be fair to let leaders know... at some point. If this Jazper didn't question his reasons for moving then he wouldn't tell them, but if questioned he would atleast answer honestly.
