She needed a bath. Not a poor excuse for grooming fiasco, but an actual deep soak to rid herself of the grime that clung to her pelt. Her scent was still heavily drenched in that of her ompre, making it difficult to sift out her own, but topping the melding of his musk and her subtle own was the overpowering stench of earth and decaying leaf. She couldn't stand another day without a soak, and today would be the day she saw it through.

Once the woman was free from her den, she about ran full sprint to the banks of the river, not stopping til her toes were dipped in the cool waters. Grace be damned. With a howl of relief and comical dive, she fell into the clear waters, the entrance made large by her heavy form awkwardly impacting the once tranquil body. And once her body was fully submerged, she waded, relaxing as the gentle lap of the water dislodged grit and debris from her hide, leaving her feeling refreshed and cleansed. This was so long overdue...

A good amount of time passed before the woman felt she was clean enough to dry. Reluctantly she paddled to the banks, having gotten used to the weightlessness of her body within water, and stretched herself out along its side. As the afternoon sun reached its peak, the warrior found herself basking under the drying sun, smiling contently at the warmth upon her side. Occasionally she would roll from one side to the other allowing for even drying before laying still on the grass simply relishing in the sensation of this peaceful day.

Omg it was time to give Sarian a bath. She had done the unthinkable. She had purposely rolled in dirt, ran though cobwebs and got into a herb Shiloh had made into powder that made her look spotted. All this happened while Shiloh and Kiara were asleep. Shiloh had only woke up when she heard a crash and found Sarian whimpering in the jar she had gotten stuck in. Shiloh had to break the jar to get her out and checked Sarian for any injuries before scolding the pup. Shiloh hated yelling at her but she had to learn not to get into things.

Afterwards Shiloh left Kiara a note stating that she was going to wash Sarian. In truth both Shiloh and Sarian needed baths. She brought the normal blankets and the cloak Aleo had made her and the tug rope he made for Sarian. She let Sarian run and get as dirty as she wanted as they went to their normal spot only to find X'yrin already there. Shiloh threw down her things and was quick to pick Sarian up before she jumped on the woman all dirty and nasty. "Play with Rin! Play! Down! Put down!" she said as she tried to get out of Shiloh's grip. Shiloh smiled softly before telling Sarian that she could see X'yrin after her bath. Shiloh walked over to the waters edge and started to wade into the shallows, dipping a squrming Sarian into the water. She had brought some soap root that she hadn't thrown down with the rest of her stuff and started to wipe and Sud up Sarian and herself, laughing softly as Sarian tried to swim. Shiloh held her till she felt she would be able to and let her go, watcnng her swim to her. The water was pleasent, not too cold not too hot. They stayed in the water for a bit, running and jumping into the water before getting out. Shiloh shook herself out before getting a "towel" and dry in herself and Sarian off. Sarian was quick to run to X'yrin, jumping on the woman while Shiloh put her blankets out to lay on. She hoped Aleo came and stayed with her. His scent was all over her. She truely loved him.

Its been too long since we all posted together

The alabaster women must have been exhausted because when she woke up, not only was Shiloh and Sarian gone, but the room was a complete mess. Kiara got up and shook herself to rid her tired body of any lingering sleep. As the arctic wolf carefully walked through the dirtied apartment she could only wonder what sort of trouble Sarian had gotten herself into. Whatever had happened, it would have clearly ended in a bath. A small piece of paper, heavy with Shiloh's scent was left for Kiara to find. Kiara had never learned to read the unintelligible scrawl of humans, so the runes only occupied a few moments of her time. However, there was no mystery as to what had transpired within the apartment so the snowy women left the apartment complex to join her friends in a lovely bath.

When Kiara finally arrived, Shiloh and Sarian were already climbing out of the water to join X'yrin on the grass. Sarian was already pestering X'yrin, who was relaxing in the grass and Shiloh was spreading out blankets. As she moved closer, Kiara announced her presence with a small howl. Sarian happily replied with her own puppy voice, but never left X'yrin's side. Sarian saw Kiara and Shiloh every day, but X'yrin was a treat for the little puppy. Kiara made a mental note to make keep an eye on the pair in case X'yrin needed to be saved from the pup's over enthusiasm.

Kiara greeted Shiloh and X'yrin before making her way into the water. Today was a little warmer than normal which made for perfect bathing weather. Water flowed through Kiara's snowy coat, taking away any impurities that had collected in her fur. At some points the water was deep enough for the arctic wolf to swim. It had been too long since Kiara had last enjoyed a good swim and she would occasionally dive under to water for a few moments and allow her large paws to run along the stream bed. Eventually, Kiara had enough and returned to the banks to shake herself dry.

Now that the bath was done, it was time to give Sarian a little scolding. The alabaster women was sure that Shiloh had already scolded Sarian, but some reinforcement never hurt. Kiara walked over to Sarian and looked at the pup with her disapproving sapphire eyes. "Sarian, you've made a mess at home. When we get back, you and I are going to help mommy clean up. Do you understand?"

The disruption to her sun bathing came in giggles and rebellious protests. The tiny voice of an eager pup and the soothing octaves of her caretaker graced her once idle ears, setting them now on a swivel to point out their approaching direction. The family was out and about, it seemed, bringing a smile to the woman’s face. Though she did not rise to greet them, she did voice her welcome in a short sounded howl and wave of her tail. The little one’s name for her did cause her head to rise slightly, peering at the squirming body as she and Shiloh waded into the shallows. Rin? Was that how the little one remembered her? The Nomad whined adoringly. How cute. She lowered her head again, resting within the arm grasses listening to the elated sounds of the child’s bath.

A light doze overcame her, bringing her just to the edge of dream without full submergence. The calm chatter of the inhabitant fodder was a soft symphony to her ears lulling her into a peaceful reprieve where her thoughts could remain dormant and body relax as she dried. She did not anticipate being withdrawn from her pleasure so soon, but not unpleasantly as an energetic ball of fur plummeted into her belly. X’yrin reared up suddenly, eyes wide and muzzle split into a playful grin. Her muscled front bent down to be level with the giddy pup while waving her tail high in play. “Hello little one,” she spoke softly to the pup, earning a bright smile in return. As the tiny body bound around her, the warrior did her best to keep her in her sights until Sarian darted around to her back attempting to snatch her tail the instant it dropped low. But the woman was too quick, and as the girl jumped for the tail and missed, she went tumbling into the grass again bumping into the towering figure’s back leg. Comically X’yrin lowered her head to peer at the girl between her legs. But she quickly learned it was an unfortunate mistake as a body made of giggles bombarded her face. X’yrin was powerless to dislodge the child and simply suffered the affectionate torture with a smile.

It was not long after that Kiara arrived in the midst of their play. The Nomad’s face might have been taken under siege, but she was still able to note the other’s presence by smell. She returned the greeting howl and a soft bark of her own, too indulged in entertaining the pup for a proper greeting. Word of a messy home did peak her interest, however earning a concerned whine as the vibrant woman looked up from the puppy assault. “How can one so little make a mess?” she wondered aloud, not at all knowing what taking care of a pup entailed.

AWWWWWW. Sarian and X'yrin are too cute

“Ahh!!! Get Rin. Sarian eat Rin! Ugh!,” the pup squealed as she held on to Rins face with dear life.She giggled as the woman played with her and she was able to nip at a rather large golden ear before slipping off and falling to the ground. Lucky for her the ground wasn't that high up and she was able to get up and run at her Rin again, running at a golden hand, hell bent on pinning it. She was able to jump at it but was too slow and missed it, rolling in the grass, head over paws. She landed on her back and yelled at Rin. "Cheat! Get you! Grass tripped me!" she yelled before standing and running at the golden woman again only to be knocked down by her mother.

"Got you! Now what are you going to do? Ha your it! EVERYONE SARIAN IS IT RUN!!!!!," Shiloh yelled as she ran off, Sarian right behind her. She had taught Sarian how to play tag and with X'yrin and Kiara there they had more people to play with. Shiloh had hoped that Kiara would have slept more, the woman needed her rest. X'yrin seemed to enjoy playing with Sarian and Sarian seemed to like the golden woman. Shiloh enjoyed the family time they seemed to have when together and she wondered if X'yrin would help her and Kiara take care of Sarian. Shiloh ran alittle slower as Sarian ran her hardest to catch her. She turned just as Sarian leaped at her side and she fell to the ground in mock terror as Sarian's tail wagged so hard her back legs wouldn't stay on the ground. Sarian nipped and bit at Shiloh's ears as she got up slowly and started bucking softly. "Oh no there is a Sarian attacking me! what is a poor girl to do!" she yelled in play as Sarian laughed and giggled on her back

Kiara couldn't help but laugh aloud as Sarian pestered the older wolves. Her relentless energy went straight to her teeth as the young wolf tried to take X'yrin's ear off. Kiara winced a little, as she was often placed in the same position. X'yrin was splendidly putting up with the enthusiastic pup and Kiara was grateful for the break. After Sarian broke away from the golden women, Kiara listened to X'yrin's question before letting out a tired chuckle. "It's because she is small that she makes such a big mess. Puppies can get into places you and I never could."

The snowy wolf settled herself down in a sunny patch of grass and listened to the announcement of tag. The woman's sapphire eyes followed Sarian's desperate chase to catch her mother. Shiloh was not moving that quickly, but the pup still had some trouble keeping up. Kiara watched happily as the both mother and daughter toppled to the ground before letting out an excited laugh. The arctic wolf had enough of sitting on the sidelines, time to join in on the fun. Kiara ran up towards the pair and tackled Shiloh. Kiara took care not injure Shiloh or Sarian during her tackle. "Sarian, quick run! I'll hold mommy down." Sarian let go of Shiloh's ear and ran behind X'yrin for safety. A stream of giggles could be heard from the small puppy as she ran, practically tripping over her own paws.

The alabaster wolf tried for Shiloh's now unoccupied ear. It was time for a wrestling match with something that was bigger than her foreleg. The young woman let out a challenging growl as her tail wagged high in the air. Sarian could be heard from behind the safety of X'yrin's leg cheering for her mother. Sarian was making it clear that Shiloh was the crowd favorite.

The events to follow turned out to be very amusing, especially once the attention was taken off of the tiny pup and to her caretakers instead. Kiara's seat on the sideline was instead warmed by the Nomad as she acted as cover fro the giggling pup. While both females wrestled with the other, X'yrin was seated calmly overlooking the friendly brawl with the tyke nipping at her ever moving tail. She broke contact with the two just for a moment, to reach behind her and rolled the little one through grass with a gentle nudge of her paw. "Oh look! A little Sarian furball!"

In an instant her paw was hostage to the excited pup's fangs, and try as she may, it would not be so easily taken back.She tried lifting her paw to gentle shake the girl loose, but her grip was determined, Her paw would not be easily dislodged. "Oh no! I am captured," she wailed in feigned misery, hanging her head in defeat. "What will I do now that Sarian the Mighty has me? OH! What if I tickled her?" That got the child's attention, but she was too late to avoid the onslaught to her tiny body. As her body contorted, reclaiming its Optime form, her hand was released and the little one made a break for the wrestling pair, but she was not quick enough to avoid the sweep that pulled her into the air then into the chest of her capture. Sarian squealed with glee as her tummy was laid siege to by dexterous digits.

"Well look here!" the Nomad gasped in wonder. "It looks like Sarian the Mighty is ticklish! We must tell the world!" Little Sarian whined in dismay, still wearing the childish grin of excitement after managing to wiggle out of the woman's hold. Hurriedly, she bound for her caretakers to hide from the Tickling Terror.

[And in this corner]

Shiloh was taken off guard as Kiara playful nipped her ear and growled some. So it was going to be that way eh? Shiloh smiled and was able to get out of Kiara's grip and nip at her paws. "Come and get me if you can Kiara," she said with a laugh and another nip to her flank. Shiloh jumped at her, used what she did hear from Saxif before she left against the girl in play. She hoped that Kiara had some fighting spirit. She needed a sparring partner and need to relieve some tension. She was distracted for a moment at X'yrin's soft laughter and Sarian's soft growls as the woman pinned her and let her eat her hand.

Shiloh watched X'yring closely, watching the older woman tickle her daughter, Sarian's laughter engolfing her and Shiloh smiled. She wanted so much to hear Sarian laugh more and play more and she remember the way Sarian had laughed and played with Aleo. Shiloh had found her friends and family and for the first time in months Shiloh was happy.

Okay, here's a question. Is Sarian a Luperci?

Word Count → 275

Oh, it was on. Shiloh had managed to squeeze out of Kiara's grip and playful nipped at her feet. The response made Kiara dance backwards a little in order to avoid the female's jaws. However, Kiara's flank danced right into Shiloh, allowing the grey woman, allowing her to get a good grip on Kiara's haunches. Kiara respond by contorting her lupine form to give Shiloh a quick nip in the side followed by some more playful growls.

The two broke apart momentarily before Shiloh jumped at Kiara. Rather than backing off, Kiara reared back on her hind legs to meet the frontal assault. The arctic wolf was aiming to get on top of Shiloh and grab her friend on the back of the neck. Kiara did not want to injure Shiloh, so she aimed her bite where Shiloh's fur and skin would be thickest.

Giggles and laughter could be clearly heard over the sound of the two females roughhousing. When Sarian came running over, Kiara begrudgingly pulled herself away from Shiloh and turned her attention back to the pup. "This isn't finished." The alabaster woman said to Shiloh in a playful tone. Kiara had her heart set on properly wrestling with Shiloh and nothing was going to stop her from having a rematch. But for now, it was time to concentrate on Sarian.

The white wolf ran over to Sarian, but the young pup completely bypassed her caretake in favor of her mother. Kiara could only stand with her mouth open as the young pup sought shelter in her mother's arms. "Well, I feel loved." she said sarcastically while shaking her snowy head in defeat.

ooc: 315 words. Good question. Poor X'y has no idea that she's jealous.

The Nomad took a break from keeping the pup entertained to watch the two adults attempt to best each other. She hadn’t taken part in a good tussle in a long while, but didn’t feel the urge to do so now. She was much too conscious of herself for that. Her form was utterly large and heavy, even in optime form she tended to be larger than her Ichikan family, and feared even a playful bout like this would bring harm, even unintentionally so to her friends. Within the Nomad community, she played only with those near her size or greater so she did not have to suffer the guilt of harming them. But this fear aside, she was fine with watching the two have their fun, and the little Sarian attempt to break them up.

But once the little one parted the harmless brawl and sprinted into her mother’s arms (caretaker, as she still wished to call her), a strange sensation struck soundly at her heart causing the woman to bring a hand to her chest. Confusion furrowed her brows at both the subtle pain and growing sensation making itself known. Why did she feel like this, she wondered. Why did she suddenly want to be in Shiloh’s place and want the little one to come to her instead of either of the other two female? Of course the pup would favor them. They were her caretakers and life support. It was only natural she would be affectionate towards them without question.

But still…

X’yrin did not like this growing bitterness at all. It was something she had yet to experience and still could not grasp. To spare herself the trouble of having to explain this or delve further, the woman brought herself up to stand, brushing loose leaf and flora from her limbs as she made out to leave the small family alone.

Shiloh Grant · 11-24-2011, 03:29 PM

Sarian is not a shifter. She is like Kiara.but Shiloh doesn't know that.

Sarian had run to her mother and licked her talking to her in gibberish before turning to X'yrin. The woman had stood and Sarian was scared her Rin was going to leave her. She ran over to her and looked up at her, her tail wagging, her silver blue eyes glowing as she looked up at X'yrin. "Rin leave? No love me? Stay with me? Sarian loves Rin she said going up to the woman's leg and pawing at her to pick her up. Sarian loved the large golden woman and wanted her to stay with her. She sat at the woman's feet and whined at her to pick her up. She pawed at the large woman's feet and looked at her mother. She wanted her to tell her to stay. She continued to whine but she was getting tired from all her play. She started to yawn but didn't want to sleep with Shiloh or Kiara. She wanted her Rin to hold her and keep her warm.

Shiloh watched as Sarian whined at X'yrin. She smiled softly as her daughter seemed to notice the same things she did. X'yrin seemed to be in pain. Shiloh had learned last time that asking the golden woman what was wrong would make her leave. She wouldn't ask for her what was wrong but she would ask her to stay for Sarian and give her and Kiara a break. "Stay for a little while longer X'yrin. Both me and Kiara need a break from Sarian. She grows tired. Cuddle with her. I know you want t," she said picking up Sarian in her jaws. She hoped the woman stayed for Sarian. The child seemed to really like the woman.

The arctic wolf sat down next to X'yrin and watched the mother daughter pair. Truth be told Kiara was a little envious of their bond. Although Shiloh was not Sarian's birth mother, the two could not be closer. They were mother and daughter and not even the world would come between them. The Ikusei couldn't be happier with her job, but Kiara still wished to become a mother. Kiara turned one of her sapphire eyes towards her golden companion and was shocked to see such a pained expression on X'yrin's face. The four of them were having fun not moments ago. What could have caused sucha drastic change in X'yrin?

As X'yrin turned to go the arctic wolf let out a concerned whine. Kiara hated to see X'yrin in pain and was very worried for her friend. At that moment, Sarian decided to be wise in a fashion that only a child could be. Sarian had run over to X'yrin and begged the golden woman not to leave. In order to reinforce Sarian's words, Kiara nipped at one of X'yrin's dangling paws. "Stay, we can all take a long, refreshing nap in the sun. How does that sound?" A nap would do all of the some good.

Again the word love came into play, and still the woman did not fully understand it's meaning. She hadn't even taken a step away from the small family before the pup came bounding for her, whining for her continued affections. Her leg became a begging pole for the child to climb and weep for the Nomad's attention, claiming she loved the woman and wanted her to remain. An ear twitch uncomfortably, more so for the word than want was asked of her.

Not far behind her wants were those of Shiloh and Kiara, infusing their own desires into the child's request attempting to bait her say with them. X'yrin was genuinely at a lost; pained by the bothersome sensation that seemed to swell each time she saw the mother and child together, and withheld from her own wants to conceal the expressions sure to give her away. Yet, her expression grew torn as she looked at the whining child, hanging carefully from her caretaker's maw, still peering up at her with begging eyes. How much longer could she bare to stare that those pleading orbs before their desired affect took hold?

Not long at all, as the woman finally relinquished her selfish wants and crouched down to be eye level with the child. There was a faint smile upon her lips, one drenched with uncertainty but no longer held the pain of concealed jealousy. “Rin will stay for Sarian,” she woman sighed softly, reaching out to take the little to her arms. “But perhaps if your mothers are willing, they could have a break if Sarian came with Rin.” She tilted her head thoughtfully. “Would you like that, Sarian? You would even get to meet another friend of Rin’s.” Her thoughts trailed briefly to her ompre, no doubt still lingering around her den. Or was it theirs, now? Her amber gaze flickered from one older female to the other, gazing their reaction toward her suggestion.

Shiloh Grant · 11-25-2011, 01:05 AM

Shiloh could see an emotion from X'yrin as soon as she pulled Sarian to her. The pup seemed to bring out so many emotions from the woman. But this one was new to Shiloh. Longing... and something more but Shiloh was quick to dismiss it. Sarian licked X'yrins face softly and yipped her want to go with the woman. Shiloh smiled and just shook her head. A break from Sarian would be nice. She might actually get to sleep and sleep and well sleep some more. Her teats and breast were tender from feeding Sarian and she knew Kiara must be feeling ten times worse. The woman's ears were looked a little worn from all the biting Sarian did and she and Shiloh both had small patches where Sarian had knawed fur off their tails. Oh Shiloh wanted Sarian to go with someone so badly it made her whimper slightly.

"Keep her over night if you want to. I really need a nice sleep. I trust you not to let her out of your sight and keep her entertained and well fed. She eats meat but make sure its mashed to a pulp or really really chewed up. She also likes soups so you can feed her that if you want. She is a hand full X'yrin. Are you sure you are ready for this? You might get overwhelmed... I worry about you," she said softly as Sarian snuggoed against her. Oh she would sleep for about a hour to recharge then she would be up and goin again. She hoped the golden woman could handle her.

Kiara Amarok · 11-25-2011, 01:10 PM

Kiara wasn't sure what had caused X'yrin such distress, but Kiara was happy to see the pain fade away from her golden face. The arctic wolf balked a little when the nomad said 'mothers' as in plural. Kiara was by no means Sarian's mother, although she greatly wished this was the reality. Instead, Kiara was Sarian's caretaker and helped take some of the burden off of her real mother's hands. It was not only Kiara's job as an Ikusei, but her job as a friend.

Although the prospect of having a night off was more than welcome, Kiara wondered if X'yrin knew exactly what she was signing up for. Even the snow wolf had not completely expected the amount of energy and time young Sarian required from both her guardians. Would the nomad be able to handle the young puppy? "So your going to take the whirlwind off our hands tonight? Just be warned, your not going to sleep if you do."

Even with the little one’s caretakers attempting to prepare the Nomad for her task, she was not swayed from her decision. She was only more encouraged to partake in it. This would be another mission for her, albeit a smaller, personal one. She would be tending to this small life and the responsibilities that came with it, being feeding or playing. The woman was often up before the sun rose anyway, and did not feel troubled in having to do so with the child.

“It will be alright,” she assured the pair whilst looking down at the giggling pup. “She’ll be well taken care of. You have my word as your friend.” With the babe securely in her arms, the woman stood again signaling her leave with a sway of her tail. She hastened her pardon, less the caretakers changed her mind and wanted the child back. “She will be back before you know it.” And with that promise the Exultare carried her charge off with her back toward the Wentworth where she would begin the challenging task of child care.
