12th Neela/Tony for a while then Tony can call Jazper :3.

Word Count → 309

Neela was nervous. This was a fairly unusual emotion for the collie, though it had been cropping up distressingly often lately.

The last few weeks had broken Neela down and then built her back up again. Confirmation from both Jace and Tony that they didn't care about her past had done wonders for Neela, pulling her out of the depressive slump she had been in, but had also created new worries for her to mull over. Neela had been skirting around the issue of her "relationship" with Tony becoming an actual relationship, had been afraid to commit herself to another once again. There was always the undercurrent of worry about her self control and the feeling that she was betraying Julian's memory.

Neela had more control over herself now and deep down she liked to think that Julian would have wanted her to be happy. Nonetheless it took a lot of thought and courage for the collie to drag herself to the Casa di Cavalieri borders one morning.

The collie was in her lupus form; finding the more natural form somehow more comfortable for making the journey from her boat. Most of her belongings were still packed onboard and would stay there until she eventually undug her boat and brought it round. All she bore other than her fur was a thin leather strap around her stomach, holding one of her usual pair of daggers at the small of her back.

Despite the fact that she was here under invitation from an existing member of the pack Neela still felt nervous, paranoid that her past would be brought up and that she would be denied entry because of it.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." She muttered quietly to herself before lifting her muzzle skywards, letting a graceful howl echo out across the lands; the sweet tones calling specifically for Tony.

OOC sup bitches? / +yo numbah!

Tony's tail flicked nervously behind him as he waited upon the borders of his father's pack. His claws kneaded the floor fiercely, causing dry soil to clog the space between his claws and his paw pads. Nerves were something that Tony was used to, but not necessarily welcoming towards. He'd been nervous when he joined Casa. But that had been different to Neela's situation, of course. He had family there, and so did Neela technically, in Tony (who'd sworn to protect her) and by extension his family. But he could see where her nerves were coming from. A soft spring breeze blew over the thick chocolate brown fur on his back. Standing at the top of a hill only make his burly secui form look for formidable. Which he was. After all, while he did not share the height of his brother and father, his mass far exceeded both.

He smelt Neela before he saw her, a thin smile gracing his face before he stepped down from the top of the hill the wait a little long at the foot of the embankment. Yellow eyes found Neela, in her lupus form wearing nothing but a leather strap and a pair of knives. Tony himself was naked save for his pelt. In his large, impressive secui form he'd seen no use for the thick claymore sword. Trotting over to her at a steady pace, he flick his tongue over her ears and forehead, 'You came...'

It didn't take long for Tony to answer her call and soon she could hear him approaching through the undergrowth. The dark little corner of her mind that refused to accept that he didn't care about her past half expected to see him snarling, having finally come to his senses and decided to drive off the murderer trying to enter his lands. Despite Neela's efforts to suppress this snide little voice there was still an undercurrent of shock to her emotions when Tony appeared, trotting happily towards her.

Neela leaned her head up into Tony's as he approached her, tilting it to the side and giving a quiet but happy woof. Not for the first time Neela was aware of how tiny she was next to Tony; the natural size difference between lupus and Secui forms only accentuating the already impressive gap between them in size.

As Tony finished with her head Neela half turned on the spot, shifting so that her side was pressed against Tony's and her head resting on his shoulder, "Yeah." she responded simply to his statement, for the moment just taking comfort in his presence.

Eventually though she frowned and shifted, twisting her head so she could look up into his eyes, "Are ye sure about this Tony? Even... Even knowing wha' I did, you'll still have me?" Her ears dropped sadly against her head but Neela get her eyes fixed resolutely on Tony's, waiting for his answer.

┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻ short, brain akin to jelly right now :|

Tony's tail flickered more excitedly as he made contact with Neela, she was just able to lean her head against his shoulder and it was comforting to have her in such close proximity. He continued to nuzzle Neela as they conversed. 'I'm glad y' did' he replied, 'I mean, really glad... I didn' like y' bein' so far away an' all' Tony leant in closer, flicking his tongue over her snout. He sighed as she continued, 'Course I do. An' I tol' y'. I don' care wha' y' did. Y' jus' a good person who's had bad things' happen to 'em. Y' can' help tha'...' Tony told her looking her directly in the eyes. 'An' ma Dad won' mind either. Y' ain't a bad person, Neela...' he said, sure that his father wouldn't mind, but then again he couldn't predict what his father would say.

He let out a songful call to the air, calling for his father in particular. As much as he respected Annan, this was a matter of the heart and he didn't really feel comfortable talking to anyone but his dad. And even then what they did talk about was a stretch. 'M' Dad'll be here soon. An' he'll a'cept y' an'we'll all be gold, eh?' he said gently, looking towards the embankment for any sign of the coal coated alpha.

The large alpha sat unsteady on top of Vito’s back. Dixie and Wayne put so much effort into caring for the horses that the leader knew he could at least try and exercise the beast every now an then, and today was certainly a beautiful day for a slow walk about the territory. The spring brought a new life to Casa’s lands. It was the first spring that the group had experienced in the Fort, which promised a new set of challenges. Winter had proven difficult thanks to their fall creation. The horses were kept fed because of Aniwaya’s generosity, though they would return the favor later in the spring.

Under his massive form the stallion moved slowly and Jazper struggled to remind himself to sway with the horse’s movements. He had quickly realized from previous practice that there was no fighting the back and forth motion. He was lucky that today Vito seemed to be fairly patient and not mind taking a slower pace. However this all changed when a howl, clearly Tony’s, bid him towards the eastern boarders. The White stallion obviously had become use to Wayne and Dixie’s urges towards such calls and instantly shot off with a gallop towards Tony’s voice. Unfortunately today the Knight had decided to try riding the horse bear back and in a surprised frenzy attempted to hold stead the warrior failed.

The Sole promptly was tossed from the horses back, landing on the grass below and it kept galloping away. Cussing he stood, rubbing his rear and lower back as he continued on. He had managed to hold onto the horse long enough to recognize from the scent that Tony and an Ichikan were fairly close. Much to his displeasure the leader made his way towards the two scents, his body aching from the fall. Eventually the pair came into view and he was annoyed to see Vito, hooves clopping up and down as he danced wildly in small circles.

Upon the giant coming into view the black splashed horse nickered excitedly, as if mocking the Sole. Yellow eyes glared at the horse unhappily and then turned to his son and a girl who clearly was some form of dog. Jazper smiled softly down at the pair as he quickly greeted the two with a hello and then turned his lightning eyes on his dark son, gentle Scottish accent lilting, You called? Straightening out his body in a stretch he winced slightly.

Neela was confused when rather than being greeted by a wolf a horse ran out of the trees. The horse promptly started to spin around in small circles, causing Neela to cock her head to one side in confusion as she tried to make sense of the scene before her, one ear dangling lightly in the breeze as tried to puzzle out what the hell this strange horse was doing.

The horse's owner showed up in short order and despite herself Neela couldn't help a small whimper of shock at the sight of him. Neela has known that the father of a wolf as large as Tony was likely to be large himself but she hadn;t prepared herself mentally for the sheer size of the giant before her. It didn't help that she was in her Lupus form and he in his Optime, lowering her perspective to two foot against his eight.

Still Neela forced herself to break away from Tony as he spoke, moving forward a few pawsteps, her ears and tail held low and gaze stuck somewhere around Jazper's feet. "Umm y-yes." she spoke before halting with a wince and starting again, trying to project more confidence than she actually felt at that moment. "I... I was wishing to join Casa di Cavalieri." This time there was more confidence in her voice, Neela's gaze and body language rising as she spoke but not enough to cause offence.

There was more she could have said but Neela left it at that for now, waiting for Jazper to respond before she said more.

Yellowish eyes watched Vito as he pranced around the pair. The brother of his own horse was a magnificent beast in it's own right, but with Tony in his Secui form and the stallion in motion it amplified the royalty of the beast. 'Fit for a king, eh' Tony joked quietly, nodding towards the pied horse. He waited silently as Jazper made his way towards the pairing, speaking up only to offer another comment on the horse, 'Dad doesn't really do horses' he offered up with a dry chuckle. His father didn't take long to arrive and when he did he gave him a respectful, yet familiar nod of his head and spoke, 'Dad, this is Neela. She'd th' one who's bin stealin' me from 'round here lately...'. He offered up humorously, before straightening up and stepping forward alongside Neela.

'Uh, if y' need a sponsor for 'er or anythin', y'know summun t' show 'er around. I can do it...' the words came out kind of shaky, but that was understandable as this was the woman whom Tony spent most of his current time either with or thinking about. Worrying about was a more apt description, but hopefully with her in a more accessible place now (hopefully, again) that would be reduced significantly.

It took the Sole by surprise when the female stepped forth, taking the lead over Tony. The girl seemed to be timid at first, much like Enzo’s Juliet when they first came to the boarders, but the Knight was pleased that she had spoken up first. A small smile appeared on his muzzle as she confirmed what he already knew, she would be joining them in Casa. Tony’s voice took over, introducing her as Neela, the girl who has clearly stolen the bossy boy’s heart. The father had been curious as to why his son had been spending so much time away from home and dragging in the scent on Ichika so often. It seemed that all of his second litter had found someone to love, while their father was left still searching for someone to call his own once more. Though it warmed his heart to know that his family was continuing on.

In order to provent the pair from straining their neck’s looking up, as well as to bring more comfort to Neela, Jazper kneeled down fairly close to the pair, lowering himself to a height more suited for the conversation. It’s a pleasure to meet you Neela. The Sole greeted with a small bow of the head. Looking her over quickly he noted that she kept her appearance well kept, probably a difficult task with such poofy fur. Getting down to business the father spoke once more in his kind Scottish accent, Of course you may stay with us Neela. Anyone who makes my boy happy is welcome. Chuckling slightly he winked at his son befor returning his attention back to Neela, But pray tell me, what skills do you have to offer the rest of your pack mates? It was important to Jazper that all members were able to hold their own and offer their own personal skills to the pack.

The tension and anxiety that had been building inside Neela started to recede at the friendly reception she was receiving. Between the reassuring presence of Tony close by her side and Jazper's welcoming manner the collie finally started to relax, her muscles loosening where they had been coiled tight with nervousness. "Thank you sir." she mumbled when Jazper said she was welcome to stay.

Jazper asked after her skills, a standard question for one joining a pack it seemed, and Neela took a few seconds to compose her thoughts. Tony had said this pack was a warrior pack hadn't he? Best to start with that then.

Err, Ah can fight. Not that strong but I'm quick and I've been trained; fairly good with my bare hands an with knives." Neela wiggled her hindquarters, making the knives loosely strapped to her back clank quietly. Fighting was all good and well but not even a pack of warriors would spend all the time in conflict, "Other'n tha 'm a sailor. Got my own boat, kinda a mix between a fishing trawler and a small trader. 'M a fair carpenter as well, mainly specialise in buildings and large boats; used to make a living building boats half the time and fishing in them the rest 'o it."

Hopefully that would be enough to make herself useful around her new home. As much as Neela wanted to stay around Tony she hated the thought of intruding on a pack just because she was in a relationship with the leader son. That had Neela thinking, she didn't actually know what sort of relation ship she had with Tony; up until now she had been to busy denying there was one at all to really think about it. Neela gave the subject a few seconds thought before banishing it; she had more important things to concentrate on right now.

The Sole felt better as Neela relaxed. Casa di Cavalieri was not a place of diciplin and hierarchy, but a place of family and common goals. There were very few instances where Jazper had used his authority on a pack member and he planned to keep it that way. He was sure that Tony would explain the ins and outs of the pack so he would not go into depth on their history or goals, as he would with any other joiner. Her thank you was accepted with another brief nod of the head, it wasn’t as though he would turn away anyone his own blood wanted to stay.

As she offered up her skills the Soles decision became more concrete in his mind. Tony had certainly picked a talented on. All members of Casa are required to hold some fighting skills, there is mandatory training but it is as simple as doing some training with a friend. The Knight smiled kindly as he spoke. Most of Casa could fight fairly well but it was not required that everyone be excellent, just able to protect themselves and each other. My co-leader Anann’s mate is also a talented sailor. I think you’ll be pleased with our access to water. All of Whisper Beach is ours so you should have no trouble finding many places to fish to your hearts content as well as set up a boat. There are many boathouses and docks along the shore.

With his final reassurance the warrior stood back up to his full height and turned to Tony, You’ll be sure to run through the rules of the Fort with her and show her around good and proper. I assume she’ll be stayin with you. Giving the boy a quick wink he turned his yellow eyes back to the joiner and stepped aside, allowing them further access to the territory. I hope that you can find friends and a home with us Miss. Neela.
