Preferably have someone join who knows how to fish and would be able to teach Shiloh so she can complete her task. / Word Count: 578 (5 points)


Shiloh and Lewis were settling well into thier new home in Ichika no Ho-en. They were now living in one of the apartments that the rest of the Stormbringer family was staying in. Lewis didn't mind sharing a room with the she wolf so long as she didn't bring about too much trouble. The wolf dog handled most of the unpacking from their belongings while Shiloh took all her time to make sure that the place was spotless. The she wolf liked to have everything as clean as it could possibly be. Most of the fits she threw were over dirt, even if it was just a little speck. The wolf dog didn't mind the place being clean so long as he was able to admire the one wolf he was able to stay with. He had set her supplies on a table out in the living area so that she had a nice quiet place to work. He didn't really need much to keep him happy and was often reading when Shiloh was busy working. He did not want to disturb her and have her throw a fit at him.


The cream wolf had not forgotten about the task that was assigned to her by her brother and wanted to get that done since she wanted to also get started on her gift for Gideon's new lady. She was sure she had enough supplies for now, though would have to stop somewhere to look for some more, especially some more cloth so she would be able to make some more dresses for herself and clothes for her new pack mates. She was sure that since she was new, none of them knew of her talents, which was why she was actually greatful for the task that was given to her. It was a good way to make some new friends in the pack and spread word of her abilities. She smiled as she sat on her bed, waiting on Lewis so they could head for the shore. He was just hanging up her clothes and putting them in a neat order for her so she knew which was which. Some of them did look similar in color.


Once Lewis was done, he moved over to the crema wolf and the two of them began to head towards the shore. Shiloh felt the breeze coming from the ocean in her hair, though her lily came out. She quickly caught it and placed it back in her hair. It was not too strong of a wind, though she made sure to put the lily back in her hair differently so that it would not be able to fly away again. She gave a smile to the wolf dog as they soon felt the sands of the beach under their paws. It had a nice warm feel to it and a relaxing mood. The two began to walk along the beach, wondering how to complete the task. The she wolf was not even sure how to fish and didn't really know anyone in the pack who would be able to help her. Maybe they would be lucky and come along someone who would be able to teach her. Not only would this help her to complete her task, but she would also be able to make a friend out of the person helping her. She held her hands together behind her back as she and Lewis continued down the shore.

Hopefully it's ok for me to join!


He sat down a little further along the beach, watching a pool of water that looked darker than the rest. It looked as if there was a shelf-like area under the water where the sand beneath dipped down and created a deeper area. He'd chosen this area to fish, hoping that the patch of deeper water would attract larger fish than he had been able to catch with his rod earlier that day. Gideon wasn't unhappy to have the littler fish now, though - it had been a little depressing to pull up one little one after another - as he realized that he could use the smaller fish as bait to catch even bigger ones.


A tug on his line brought a grin to his face. The idea had worked! He yanked up harshly on his home-made rod, feeling a heavy weight on the other end of it. "Wooo!" Gideon yelled, beginning to back up a bit from the cliff. He'd gotten something...but what was it? He could see a bit of silver on the end of the line, which excited him. Before long he had the long silver fish up on the shore, and it flopped about in distress for a few moments as he caught his breath and relaxed. After a few moments he took the hook out of its mouth, leaving it a ways behind him as he began to re-bait his hook.

The ocean breeze felt really nice. It must have been one of the best places to be at this time of year, though Shiloh didn't enjoy all the sand she was getting on her back paws. Lewis knew that the sand was bothering her, though mentioned it would be better than walking in the water and then getting sand on them. She nodded as they continued along. The male looked along the waves, though did at times turn his gaze to the white she wolf. It seemed like there were times where he wasn't able to keep his eyes off her. Shiloh paused as she looked over to him. "Everything ok Lewis?" He nodded and turned his gaze back forward. She shrugged her arms as she walked a bit ahead of him.


The she wolf stopped as she was sure that she heard something along the shoreline. Lewis' ears pirked up as he seemed to hear it too. As the two of them came closer they noticed a black figure sitting on the shore and tugging at something. Shiloh smiled as she recognized the figure at once. She raced over to him as she called out his name. "Oh Giddy!" Lewis smiled as he slowly made his way over towards them. Shiloh was glad to see that her brother was out and it looked like she had caught him while he was fishing. This was perfect. She needed to learn how to fish if she was going to finish the task that was given to her by Saul when she and her friend first arrived in Ichika no Ho-en. She was also sure that once she had learned and was able to catch the fish, she would be able to give one to Gideon for helping her.


As the she wolf took a spot next to her brother, Lewis stood behind her, though not too far back so he could pay attention as well. They had been given the same task and he didn't know how to fish either. He wished he had so he would have been able to teach Shiloh how to do it, though her learning from her brother would probably be better. "Oh Gideon, do you think you could teach me how to fish? Neither of us knows how and we need to learn so that we can catch the fish that we need to give to everyone. I'll even give you one for teaching me." She waited to hear for her brother's answer as Lewis kicked his feet through the sand. He wasn't paying as much attention to the black wolf like Shiloh was. He actually felt a little out of place. He really didn't want to cut into family time. The white and cream she wolf looked over to him a bit confused but he returned her expression with a smile, just glad to be out here with her. Her blue gaze returned to Gideon as she watched him to see if he would be able to catch something while she was there. Better to learn from watching so long as she didn't get water on her pretty fur.
