ooc: woo for larger posts and another woo for bamf warriors! (692 words)
Liam wasn't one to compare, but in this situation he couldn't help it. For so long it had been him and his brother Noah – they'd been a pair, Liam looking up to Noah as though there was no one greater in the world. The two brothers had been very close but then it had all ended one summer day when Noah had left. For a long time Liam had found himself roaming the pack-lands alone, in search of things to do. He had met a few wolves that had been more than happy to be his source of entertainment but it wasn't until Robin had come into his life that he'd had real fun. Kind of like when he'd used to play with Noah... only better. Robin was an intriguing creature with a brilliant mind and bubbling personality. She molded herself perfectly to Liam and Liam to her. They were the perfect pair. So of course Liam meant what he said – he would forever stay true to his promise. They would be best friends forever. “Good.” he said, as though the single word forever bonded the two Court members together.
Liam shrugged at her next question – what did he want as far as siblings. Well, considering he already had the best of both worlds with 'Mara and Kable, and then another brother in the form of Noah... “I would like more sisters.” he said, the answer coming to him quickly and without hesitation. He saw Kable and 'Mara and the way they were together. They had this bond and although they were older now, 'Mara very much capable of fending for herself and perhaps even the one to keep Kable in line, Liam could tell they were closer than Liam and Noah had ever been. Liam longed for sisters to dote over – sisters to protect and love. He wanted to feel what it was like to be looked up to and loved. Sisters just appealed to him more, since he only had two right now, compared to his four brothers. Lottie was still way too young to really develop a personality anyway so Liam still didn't quite see her as a 'real' sister, oddly enough. She was too young to understand things and learn how to read and write. In due time though... It wouldn't be long before the three of them were running all over the Cour des Miracles territory, getting in trouble like their big brother had now and then.
But now the conversation wasn't on their real as well as imaginative siblings but on their game. Liam's tail wagged once in excitement, his eyes darting from Robin's blue orbs to his surroundings. He could already imagine the vampire pirates on their large horses, intimidating and imposing. “Yeah well only this time!” Liam said as he watched her bouncing about, chanting and giggling. He wasn't a bad sport – he was just competitive. Winning was always more fun, especially when your opponent was equally as competitive. Liam just hoped she'd let him live it down. Curse you, slobbery tongues of doom! Still a little bothered by the wet defeat, Liam followed Robin into a crouched position, his bi-colored eyes resting on her as he waited for a sign of what to do first. Then she pointed and instinctively his eyes darted to the spot. While most would have seen a few shrubs and bushes, Liam and Robin were seeing menacingly vivid vampire pirates attempting to conquer the pack. Liam nodded silently, a slight growl escaping his lips. “Yes I see them.” he mouthed softly.
He shifted his weight slightly from his furry left hand to his right, glancing from Robin to the vampires. “Do you have a game plan, fair warrior?” he asked in all seriousness, half-ready to pounce in case the mean ol' vampires decided they wanted to attack. “Because clearly we can't just pounce. We're far too outnumbered.” he breathed. His eyes darted back to the vampires. Robin had said they hadn't seen them yet though, which was in itself a reassuring thought. If only for a moment.
