- Faolin Mogotsi - 11-27-2007 [html]
Yay~!
indentThe Mogotsi child sat on the borders. Throughout the entire night she had barely slept a wink and had decided to crawl out of bed and go explore the territory. The Loony Luna was rising in the east. She had sat in the same place all morning, staring out over the borders, ears pinned back against her head. She had yet to hear back from Segodi and it was starting to scare her a bit. Maybe he would never get his memories back? What would happen then? She would never see her father again, at least she would never see what used to be there. - Arkham Lykoi - 11-27-2007 [html]
All of them were probably supposed to share a bedroom, but his brother seemed pretty deadset on being as independent as possible and either slept back at the den or somewhere else entirely and he hadn't seen either of his sisters in quite a while now (well, Eris had been gone longer than Rachias, but still). And so he had had the big huge bed all to himself. It was amazingly comfortable and soft and warm and he never really thought he'd leave it so willingly, especially not on a cold winter morning, but the though the footsteps in the hall had been soft, they had stirred him all the same. He wasn't sure what exactly had lured him out into the chilling sunrise, but children were more perceptive than most people gave them credit for, and certainly more than they themselves realized. Faolin was upset. And it bothered him because he knew she and his eldest brother both worked hard to take care of his litter, especially now that their mother was gone. She was practically family, right? And unlike Andre, Arkham felt rather inclined to care about his family members. He knew what it was like to be lonely too. So the growing grey pup had followed her out of the house and to the borders. Padding up softly up to her, the hybrid child sat down next to her quietly. Mornin', Faolin,he said, looking up at her expectantly. 'Chu doin' up so early? - Faolin Mogotsi - 11-28-2007 [html]
Yay~!
indentIt was funny how each of Kaena's litter were all different from each other. She loved each of them as if they were her own, but she guessed it was kind of like the difference between herself and hybrid. They had been separated at a young age, Hybrid stayed in the Land of Wuffluvers with Segodi while she went with Asphyxia. When Faolin returned, Hybrid had left. They both had managed to end up in the same place in the end, but even with all their encounters, Faolin still did not feel an incredibly strong bond with her brother. She hoped for different between the three remaining puppies. - Arkham Lykoi - 11-30-2007 [html]
The differences in littermates were always peculiar, especially if they had all been raised the same as his own litter had. If the hatred that seemed to blossom in Andre had come from the blood, then where was it in himself or his sister? If the innocent optimism that seemed to be ever-present in Rachias came from some influence, then there was it in either of her brothers? Hadn't they all been placed under the same circumstances? It wasn't even a question of nature versus nurture; they had no real pre-ordained nature anymore as they had evolved beyond that, if it could even be called evolution. Perhaps the sustained thoughts that made up a consciousness were really just factors of devolution; after all, it certainly wasn't helping them to survive. Faolin's voice and expression seemed to contradict the idea that anything was wrong and he found himself smiling a little as a result, though it was a very shy one. D'no,he answered of her reflected question, I jes' followed you. Why couldn't you sleep?Nightmares had yet to really enter Arkham's sleep and he had no real experiences with them; likewise, he had yet to really have a matter so pressing to his young mind that he lay awake fretting over it. His missing sisters offered some concern, perhaps, but he had mostly convinced himself that Eris had gone with Kaena and that Rachias had gone to find their father and that they were both just fine. No reason to worry. Sure,the pup agreed to the venture, What sorta things can we find fer decoration? - Faolin Mogotsi - 12-02-2007 [html]
I'm going to have this dated for AFTER the thread with Rachias.
indentShe thought about her encounter with Rachias a couple days before. She was not sure how to tell Arkham, but she wanted him to know that she was safe and sound. It was hard worrying over a sibling, Faolin knew that from experience with her own. Although, when Hybrid finally came back - like most of them ended up doing - it was not the same. It was different when Tedros or Nyika would return and she still held a small hope for seeing them again. She had seen Segodi not a couple weeks ago, some hope was still held out for all of her family. Asphyxia was an exception. A lost cause she could call it. Her mother was to the point where all was forgotten and Faol could not see the female coming back any time soon. - Arkham Lykoi - 12-02-2007 [html]
For him, Rachias was the only person he really considered a friend. He had a lot of family members; in fact, most of the people he knew were family members, but they rarely seemed to be anything more than that. Both Gabriel and Faolin acted as his caretakers, the stand-ins now for the parents that just weren't there, and as much as he cared about both of them, because they were much older, he didn't really feel comfortable confiding in them about every little thing. Some things adults just didn't seem prone to care much about and he would feel silly bringing them up. Ahemait and Samael were only about a year older, but they were still adults to him and he didn't see them much anyway. So it came down to his own littermates because there were no other children in the clan. Eris had always been too much of a drifter for him to get to know her and Andre was very simply unpleasant. So Rachias was all he had for a friend. And so his ears perked and his eyes widened at her name. Twitching his tail, he looked up at the femme in surprise, She's with dad?It was almost surprising he recognized the name; it had not been tossed around much and it seemed like most of his family wanted to avoid the subject completely. But so all of his sister's talk hadn't been just talk after all; she really had set off to find the mysterious stranger that was supposed to be their sire. I thought Gabriel said he was a bad person?The child had never really thought to question much beyond that. After all, it didn't seem like anyone else had their fathers around either, so why pursue it? Is she really going to stay with him? That prospect seemed like terrible news to him. It had been lonely enough the last week or so; he really couldn't imagine what it would be like for his sister to be gone for good. How far away is it?The questions were coming out more quickly and he wasn't really thinking about any of them. Of course he wanted to visit her, but how long could he stay? Would Faolin be allowed to stay also? And it would never be long enough. The coyote pup loved it on the beach, but without his playmate, it suddenly didn't seem all that appealing anymore. Why would she leave Inferni? - Faolin Mogotsi - 12-02-2007 [html]

indentFaolin's muzzle dropped as she listened to the boy in front of her. She had kind of expected it to take him hard, but she never realized just how close he was with his sister. She envied that in a way, a real connection with her own blood and kin. It had been nice being close with Nyika, and Tedros was there too. But, Hybrid was her actual sibling and she guessed it was like Rachias and Andre, they were going to turn out the same way in the end probably. She sighed and watched the boy. Swamped with questions, she sighed and collected her thoughts before responding to any of them. - Arkham Lykoi - 12-05-2007 [html]
Issues. So apparently his father had "issues," but he really had no idea what that meant. He had been working hard to improve his vocabulary, but "issues" seemed to be one of those ridiculously flexible words that people liked to toss into sentences all over the place to mean different things every time. But in this context, did Faolin mean he had problems? What sort of problems? And why? Did they have anything to do with the fact that they didn't live together? Everyone had problems, right? Why were his so special that Gabriel would deem him as a bad person? Arkham wanted a lot more elaboration than that, but for the first time, he was almost afraid to ask. He had never thought much about his father, but he didn't really want to learn that he was some horrible monster either. Especially if Rachias was living with him. Would he really hurt her? Why?Vaguely, he remembered asking Castor about how far away Clouded Tears was. He had assumed that the other had been from the same pack as his father because he had carried a vaguely familiar scent, but already he had forgotten what the answer had been. However far or close it was, it would never be close enough though. If there were borders then there would be borders. The grey pup didn't know much about interpack/clan relationships yet, but already he felt like there were walls between them and that he was too small and too weak to break them down. It was not a feeling of helplessness that he was used to and he decidedly right away that he definitely didn't like it. Why did you leave Inferni?he asked, looking up at his brother's mate almost accusingly. He had never known that anyone had left before -- no one had ever told him. He had always assumed that they had all lived here for as long as they had lived and that that was how things were going to be forever. Apparently, he was wrong. - Faolin Mogotsi - 12-09-2007 [html]

indentFaolin had come to learn that everyone had there own issues, and the word could be taken in so many different ways. Yes, Laruku had problems, but how would you explain his type of problem to a young child. Especially his own flesh and blood. Faol cringed inside, hoping he would not ask the question. For a moment she thought she had heard his voice inside her head, but the question had been too clear to be just a dream. Faolin sighed, quickly trying to think of a way to explain this to Arkham. The extent to which these 'problems' had been described to Faolin, she was not even sure how far it went. He had become a completely different person. Like, two people living inside his body? - Arkham Lykoi - 12-12-2007 [html]
Her mate would tell him similarly in the coming days, but it seemed to Arkham that whatever the problem was, it was complicated and confusing enough that even the adults him didn't understand it well enough to explain -- not just that they didn't want to tell him, they couldn't. It perplexed him and frustrated him. Why was it so difficult? His father was either dangerous or he wasn't, right? What was all this about "sometimes" and "maybe"? Who was this "other person" he would become? It was a description out of a storybook, a man possessed by monsters and ghosts, demons from beyond their world. It was one of those things that he wanted to just take their word for, but that he would have a hard time believing until he actually saw it for himself. The grey pup was not yet assured of his sister's safety, but he wasn't sure how he would confront her about it if he were to visit now. Clearly she thought she was fine if she had spent all these weeks there already and then come back to tell Faolin explicitly that she would be staying away. Rachias was stubborn, but he didn't think she was stupid -- if there was any obvious danger, she would come home, right? Why did your family leave?It was probably something the femme couldn't answer, but he still didn't understand why anyone would leave the beach. It was beautiful there and he liked the people that were around for the most part. And the ocean was peaceful and calming as long as you didn't step too close. Where were you afraid of?More answerless questions and he was starting to feel kind of bad about them. Sorry,he sighed then, I jes' dunno why anyone would leave here. I like it here. - Faolin Mogotsi - 12-29-2007 [html]
Sorry for the wait! (: "I don't understand it either," Faolin sighed, shaking her head. They had left though, and nobody remained anymore. Segodi, a slight flicker of hope, did not even remember and it seemed he disappeared once again. Faolin frowned and looked down at the boy smiling, he had so many questions, but it was not strange considering his age. Curiosity got the best of them sometimes and Faol had been no different. "My mother left to return to my father at first, then I thought she had died and I had ran the entire way back to Inferni. I had my father here, Segodi, even though we are not related by blood he was really the only father-figure I had ever known. His son and daughter, Tedros and Nyika were like my siblings. My real father, well he died..." Faolin paused staring at her paws, I -killed- him. "Then Hybrid had followed me back here because he had been staying with him. That is all a blur now. Well, Segodi and Tedros left, and then I went in search of them, returned, then soon after Nyika had left. The reason I had stayed here too was because of your brother, Gabriel," Faolin smirked, and took a breath for a moment, recollecting her thoughts. She shrugged her shoulders and pursed her lips, turning her head to look down the beach of Inferni. Faol had never wanted to leave these sands again. Not now, not ever. It was her home and she would die by this beach when she was ready. She hoped to see the days of many members once again. "Anyway, sometime soon we should go down to the human city! It's so beautiful down there and there is always lots of things to find. Maybe we can take Rachais along?" she asked, head tilted to the side. She supposed Arkham wanted to see the girl more than she did. When Nyika had left Faol had been heartbroken, Nyika had been her best friend and her sister. No one would make her feel the same way ever. - Arkham Lykoi - 01-01-2008 [html]
Arkham listened carefully to every word the femme said; he had always liked stories and real people were even more interesting. By the sounds of it, it seemed like Faolin had quite the large family as well, even if some of it was adoptive. It made him happier somehow knowing that almost all of Inferni was either related to him or Faolin and that they were one big family (little did he know, he was connected to half of 'Souls in one way or another), but it was also a double-edged sword. He knew there were dozens of other family members out there, half-brothers and sisters and cousins-in-law that he would likely never meet if they didn't come home. As far as he knew, the beach had once been home to all of them and it was just... sad somehow that they weren't there. The rest of the world was too big of a place, how was he ever supposed to find them all even if he did change to look? Are you 'n Gabriel gonna have kids?he blurted suddenly, staring curiously at his brother's mate. The prospect of more family excited him somewhat as if they would fill in for everyone that was missing. And if they had a litter, that would make him an uncle, wouldn't it? That made him feel older than he was and more mature. He smiled. Sure,he said of the city, I met a lady there the other day, but she was kinda creepy.Arkham realized that he really would prefer accompanyment if he was to go back and that made him feel like a kid again. Ah well -- he had the entire rest of his life to be an adult, right? - Faolin Mogotsi - 01-07-2008 [html]
- Arkham Lykoi - 01-12-2008 [html]
Figured it was about time to end this? x3 He laughed with her, though it was a light and somewhat uncertain laugh. An uncle, huh? It was a strange prospect and he knew there were many pros and cons. He didn't particularly want to have to become a role model of any sort for a younger generation, but the idea that he wouldn't be the littlest kid in the family was a good one. It was a difficult place to be between wanting to grow up too fast and wanting to stay a kid forever. He usually clung to the fact that childhood was a once-in-a-lifetime deal, but all the same, wouldn't it be nice to be as strong as an adult? To be as smart? To be as capable and knowing? The hybrid knew that none of these were ally automatic, but he half-expected them to be anyway. India,he answered easily, recalling her face and her voice. If asked why exactly he perceived her as "creepy," he probably wouldn't be able to answer, but he knew the feeling had been there and could almost feel again thinking about her and the old building they had been in. Perhaps it was the way she spoke or the way she treated her more like a child than anyone else he knew, or the way she walked? It was probably of no real consequence anyway though. I d'no,he shrugged, She was a loner.And he yawned right then, not having realized that he was still tired until now. Shaking himself, he blinked up at Faolin. I think... I'ma go back to sleep fer'a bit. We can go to the city later?And with that, he started slowly back across the sand. |
