The other side of sanity

Apart from the one time the had met up with him and Eclipse to discuss how things were going Jace hadn't seen the brother of her heart in quite a while, since before they had moved to Ichika had they spoken properly. It was this that had her travelling from her home in Westville south west through the plains of Ichika following next to the East River. She enjoyed seeing the remains of the human settlements that had grown up along the banks of it. Miraculously a few boats were still tied up along the sides btu most of them were in a sorry state and looked as though they would sink at the merest hint of weight in them.

She knew Noah lived somewhere along the northern edges of Phoenix Valley for he had mentioned it to her briefly but as for its exact location she was clueless, but she did not mind a game of hide and seek with the house. It afforded her a nice stroll but left her mind to wander back several months to her altercation with Noah's father and she shuddered, even now the image of the black man remained burned into her memory, and that f her dead children. She knew, as every female did that stillborns and weak pups that never lived were part of life, feeling weltschmerz for the ones that had to die, and never realise the love that had brought them into the world.

Trees loomed over her, their branches looking worse for wear from the autumn winds, soon they would be bare skeletons and covered with the snow of winter. It was into this world that her little ones would be born just as she had been several years ago. The winter she had been born into had been unusually cruel and harsh, no one had expected the two tiny hybrids to survive for long, not even their mother or aunt. But against all the odds and the howling wind and snow they had survived, flourished even and what stepped out to greet the pack once the storms had passed had been two healthy children instead of half starved mongrels.

Jace sighed, as much as she liked living in Ichika with Temo and the others, she would always long for those cold northern places from which she had come and hoped that she could visit them again before her life was lived out and was over. She missed her family, her true family that were blood related to her. Her grandmother was a distant hazy memory that Jace could only just recall, she had only been a few months old when the old she wolf had died, and Jace spared a tear for the woman who used to hold her on her lap and sing lullaby songs to her.

Finally after a few hours of leisurely walking and searching she came across a house that had Noah's scent pratically stamped into its brickwork, looking about herself for the house seemed to be empty she raised her voice,

"Noah? You here?"

IC:

Today was just like what it had been before, another lazy day spent with his newly made lover. Well not lover in the way they had mated, he wanted to make sure that she was ready before he even made a pass at that, but they shared a bond and a feeling that he had only shared with two others before her, but none had stuck around him that long, they left him high and dry. Like a gold digger once she finds out that really there isn’t any money. They all had hurt him, but she Rendall was different, she had hurt him, and she had dealt with the cold shoulder but she only took so much before she gave it back to him, and made him face that fact that he wasn’t no angel him-self.

The silver male smiled as he sat down on the first floor of his house as he flipped though one of his books about the stars, as the fire burn in his fire place, the male gave off a soft dream like sigh, things where finally falling into place for him, for once in his life. There was really one more big thing that he had to do, and that was to take Rendall on a trip to meet his mother, and to let her know that he had finally taken a mate and had made all plans to start a life with her, and make her so happy and to spoil her for the rest of her days, and if something sadly should happen to her, he would remain single, and loyal till his death.

He heard the voice call out for him, before his mind could process the owner of the voice, the tail that the male had started to wag. Then it processed in his mind that it was Jace. He loved that female dearly. Not like the love he had for Rendall, she was more like the love he has for his mother, and brother. She was very near and dear to his heart. Tossing his book to the side as he make a quick move to the door as the male flung open the door, with a big old smile upon his face. ”Come in!” He yapped out with a thrilled tone to his voice. ”See our house.” The male made sure to put extra pressure on the word of our. The male didn’t have a ring or anything to show that he had finally take a mate. It didn’t matter though he had her heart and she had his.

He stepped to the side as he made room for her to step though the door to his house, it wasn’t much to look at, but it was homey enough for the male. Really it had been just him for the longest of times, and so most of his stuff was on top of the house, for when he was doing his star gazing. The male didn’t need much else but a place to sleep, but now he was going to have to start making it more like an old human home for a family.

Her first assumption that that house was empty was in fact erroneous as movement from within caught her attention, she made her way towards the front door, her tan tipped tail flicking lazily from side to side. The door was flung open and there her three legged brother was, all smiles and happy face, bringing up warm feelings inside of her. She rushed forwards with a happy squeal and hugged the man, well kind of, her engorged stomach got in the way a bit and made the hug a sort of awkward one handed affair but she wouldn't have changed it for any other hug in all of the world,

"Noah! It's so good to see you again." His emphasis on the word 'our' did not go unnoticed and she freaked out in an appropriate manner as he stepped aside to let her in, she crossed the threshold with an ecstatic grin on her face, she hardly even noticed the state of the house around her, more interested in this 'our' that he had mentioned, thoroughly capturing her notice now, there would be no peace for him until he had spilled everything,

"What's this then? Our house? Who's this our house then? Do I get to meet whoever it is? Or are you hiding them from me." Her tail wagged madly behind her, she was anxious to see whom it was that had captured her adopted brother's heart at last, she knew Noah had been lonely since Yuki's disappearance and that he had loved the girl wholeheartedly and if Jace ever met her again she'd have some sharp words for the bi eyed woman. Jace used uni sex words for whoever it was, there was a chance it was a male instead of a female who Noah was involved in and she didn't want to cause embarrassment for the grey male by expecting a female, Jace was not homophobic in the least and welcomed any and all types of relationships, whether they be gay, straight, bisexual or poly-amorous.

The male was thrilled to welcome her into the house of Rendall and him-self. Yes it might have started out as his house, but the male was ever so willing and ever so happy to turn the whole house and all the belonging over to her, it was after all the only gift he really could give her to show her just how much he dose care about her. The dapple grey male looked down at the female stomach giving her a wink”Temo pinned you?” The male winked at her and then he start to give his head giving a playful clicking sound of his tongue as he shook his head, to her. He shook his head again with a laugh.

Rendall had been the medication that he needed, she had brought him out of his bitter moods and the want to let the days slip away while he slumbered, while the nights he spent with his eyes up to the night sky. More often than not he was looking up to the stars and thinking of how other then the stars in the night sky he had no one. Everyone seemed to be paired off with someone they love. The male felt like he was all alone, and at that time of his life. Yes sure, he was. Thought he stars showed the love they had for the male that watched them. Bring him back Rendall, the female that seemed to have just as many scars as he did, though most of her’s was on the inside, as to his where mostly visible.

”You too!” He spoke as he bowed down to her. He stood there for a few seconds keeping his head down, showing her the proper respect that she had earned though all of her hard works that she had done for the pack. The male knew that she probably didn’t expect it at this point in time; however she was a lady with children and need to be treated with great honor and respect. The male bought his body up as he looked down at her stomach; he was so excited to see that someone from the Valley was having a litter of pups. Noah figured everything would be fine with her, just as so long if she didn’t decide to name any of the pups after his father.

”You’ve meet her.” The male gave a soft sigh thinking of the lady, yes. It was official; he was utterly head over heels love sick for the lady. ”Rendall…” He whispered with a smile upon his face as his tail shook side to side, like a child’s when they are so excited to its parents. It was like he had a secret and did not want to share her with anyone. Not because he was worried that they would take her, he would lay his life down for her in less than a heartbeat. It was more because, he was happy and he did not want anyone or anything taking away that one thing that was making him so happy.

She laughed at Noah's innuendo, hitting him gently with a paw in playfulness as he tutted and shook his head at her in a dramatic manner,

"Noah! You're horrible!" This way the way they worked, their banter and playfulness together described their sibling like relationship. Noah would tease and torment her and she would in turn tease him back, it worked for them and it was how they liked it. She coughed, embarrassed as he bowed down to her but knew he felt the need to honor her for the rank that she had and the children in her swollen stomach so she didn't protest against it or demand that he rise and stop since they were friends, but it was becuse they were friends that she said nothing.

Her head tilted to the side as he said that she knew who it was that he had taken into his heart and honestly could not guess at who it was. She had seen him so little lately that she couldn't possibly have the faintest clue who he hung about with anymore. She didn't even think to compare the other scent on the house to see if she knew it but even if she had done she would not think it strange that Rendall was staying with him for she knew they were friends and had been back in Phoenix Valley. Although his lovesick sighing was amusing she refrained from ribbing him about it.

Rendall? RENDALL! This was brilliant and she told him so,

"That is brilliant! Oh i'm so happy for both of you. We need to have a gathering or something, a party for Phoenix Valley so that everyone can see." The grin stretched widely across her face and her tail lashed from side to side, brown tip blurring in it's fever.

The male chuckle as he looked down to his paw that she had playfully hit him in. ”Oh! Ow..” He then turned around and held up the arm that was missing it’s paw, as he looked at it, and then back to her. ”Oh..no…” He grabbed her with his nubby arm. ”You knocked it o..o…off” He poked at her softly with a joking tone. Making sure to wave his nub in front of her face, as he implied that she has hit him so hard she had single handedly caused his paw to fall off his arm.

He wasn’t sure how she would feel about the nub being pushed around in front of her. He just hoped that she didn’t stress out about it, and make her lose this litter like she did the last one, the silver male was just glad that this litter was made out of love with her long time mate. These children would know love above anything else, from both mother and father, and from all around the pack lands.

His eyes widened, when she talked about a party, what type of party. The silver male gulped. ”Uh…” The male looked at that female with child, he mind thought and thought of how to spin it off of him. ”Uhm…your pups!” The male pointed towards her stomach. Yes that would work, or even better. ”Gathering of new l..l..life.” The male felt that was the best one, after all each member had to take a new path in life to get to where they were.

Jace is sooo classy XD sorry for th wait, god this post is a piece of shite -.-

She laughed even harder as he waved his pawless arm about in front of her, she knew lots of people would shy and cringe around the horrific looking stump that used to be his right paw but it didn't bother Jace, she didn't see it as a wound although she was saddened that her brother had lost the appendage. She saw it as a mark of his bravery, that he has selflessly risked his own life to save someone else s unlike her own scars that were a result of her cowardice and shame. Still she laughed at his childish display, tears of mirth streaming down her cheeks,

"Noah! Stop it! I'm going to piss myself." She managed to get out between hauling breath in and her wheezy laughter. She clutched at her stomach as though she could physically hold back the liquid contained in her bladder that threatened to leak all over Noah's nice floor. She managed to restrain herself from leaking for the moment. she grinned at his expression, he hated being the center of attention, a thing that they had in common,

"It could be for both, roll it into one and then that's one less party to plan and then we share the limelight."

WC:000+ - OOC blah would go here

It was nice to hear laughter coming out of her mouth, and it wasn’t forced. Jace had always been polite to a stranger unless there was a reason that she needed to step up and give a being a reason to fear her. Though, that was a side that the silver male could say that he had never seen in her. Noah was thankful for that also, he was not quite sure if he could take seeing that in her. He dealt with her sadness when the Valley members where re-located to where they were now. That was hard enough for him and surely her beloved black mate named Temo.

”You clean up!” He spoke to her in a stern voice that could be passed off at joking around giving the time and the actions that the two were sharing between them. The silver one eyed male gave her one softer nudge with the stub of a paw he had, just for a good matter. ”Do we have t..t…to house break you?” with another joking poke at her, he raised a brow as his nub dropped to the waist side.
His ears flattened against his head as he gave a whine looking at her pleading at her. ”Do we have t..t..to?” He would rather it go by unseen and unheard about the court ship and union of the two old Valley members.

His words had her reducing her giggles to a snigger and she managed to hold her dignity intact and her fluids inside for the moment and saving Noah's nice floor from ruination. The woman slowly began to breathe normally and the urge that she was going topee herself subsided and she breathed a sigh of relief. If she had done then she would have never heard the end of it from Noah. She eyed him critically, as he expressed his desire to not be noticed by the pack for his new mate. Jace frowned slightly before grinning again as a wild thought came to her,

"Well if we don't then someone will find out and the pack will throw you a party anyway only this time you'll be more in the spotlight because you didn't tell them. At least this way most people will be too busy gawping at my fat stomach to care much about you and Rendall. Besides, it means food." She grinned and nudged him with an elbow, food was the way to a man's heart after all, even one as soft and large as Noah's was. Jace stifled a giggle, honestly! How crazy were these hormones making her, she had never been one to giggle before.
