This is assuming that Ezra gets pretty beat up in this thread, and assuming Annan tells Ezra about Haven. Also, if this thread goes well, Ezra gets to be an esquire! Yay! Super short because I suck.

The Duke’s bruises and cuts had healed nicely since his encounter with Annan. The male found himself fighting and practicing in the grounds a lot since that interaction, determined to do better. He found himself in optime form more and more so that he could practice fighting. His obsession was growing. He wanted to be useful, and he wanted to protect the wolves he so dearly loved. Ezra wanted to be a needed member of the pack. The past year he had done nothing of value and was sick of his idleness.

Haven was the man to be found. Ezra trekked to the area where Ever told him he might be; Ever and Haven were familiar because they both frequented the stables. His home was on the beach as well, so the bungalow wasn’t hard too hard to find. Perhaps Haven would teach him the finer points of combat and how to defend himself. Ezra was excited for the new opportunity waiting for him behind the knight’s door.

Haven had been spending more time lately patrolling the Kingdom's lands as of late, worried about what sorts of things that despicable Serf might be up to. After his first encounter with Keese and his subsequent talk with Anatoliy about the man the Knight knew it was only a matter of time before something else happened with the greyscale man. Haven almost hoped that it would be sooner rather than later so he could expel the bastard from the pack and be done with it. He had warned his family to be wary of the man and was keeping a particularly close eye on his growing children. Keese was a cretin and Haven had no hard time imagining him using pups to get to whatever means he desired.


Right now Linden, Felicity, and Robin were all down for a well-needed nap after some hours of exhausting play. The father sat outside on the porch of his house and looked out to the endless sea. The sound of the waves constantly crashing against the stony shore was a comfort; he doubted he could ever live far from the ocean now that he had become so used to it. It was almost like an old friend. Black nose twitched at the scent of someone approaching the small house and jade eyes looked out sharply to spot the large monochromatic figure headed towards him. Haven knew the man by sight and smell, but that was as far as their acquaintance went. The Knight sat silently and waited to see if it was him the man was coming this way for.

So sorry for the wait.

The pumpkin man was on his porch looking out onto the expansive pack land. Ezra became nervous for a moment, but he continued to plod up to the front of the house. The Duke gave his comrade a small smile, before stopping at the front of the house respectfully. “Are you Haven?” The Duke asked quietly, looking up at his superior. “I’ve been told to find you for some sparring practice.”

Ezra didn’t know much about the peculiarly colored man before him. He had seen him around the pack a fair amount and he also was in the hotel the night of the bad snowstorm. Ezra had always respected him, of course, for he knew he held a considerably high rank in the pack despite his infrequent appearances. “I’m Ezra, Duke,” Ezra had nothing else to say the man other than that.

Psh, that's not a wait XD

As the dual toned male came directly towards the house it seemed that it was him that the other Court members was searching out. In the back of his mind Haven wondered if it concerned Keese. As far as he was aware, there had been no further incidences involving the the pack's Serf but the Knight knew it was only a matter of time before more ill news of that creep reached his ears. Though as the other man stopped and smiled it seemed that this was not a negative situation, and for that the Aatte was thankful. "I am indeed." At the mention of sparring the Seneshcal's lips formed a half-smile. "Has Anann been talking me up?" The golden woman was the only one he sparred with, so it must have been her unless someone had watched the two and gone spreading tales about it.


The man with the mismatched eyes finally introduced himself and the Knight's head nodded. "Nice to finally meet you properly Ezra. So, what is it that you're hoping to gain from sparring? And are you looking for training with weapons or just hand-to-hand combat?" Sword fighting was Haven's personal expertise, though he had experience with grappling as well. He and Anann practiced both often.
