Adelle was in secui form, testing out what she could and couldn't do with the large form that Grandpa loved so much. She was bigger, and she wasn't as clumsy as she was in her lupine form where her paws were far too large. She pushed at a tree she'd come across out front, old and worn out. The tree was doing well, resisting her strength. It bent slightly, but sprang back up immediately afterwards. Growling happily she danced around it, lunging forwards with her teeth.


Biting at the tree had not been a good idea. Her teeth hit the hard bark, and struck in. The reverberations that ran through her hurt! Howling Adelle backed up, shaking her head. Her mouth hung open, jaw aching from the attempt. Growling she looked at the tree. That was a tough opponent! She stilled as the deep marks on the bark registered. She had done that! Her tail wagged happily. It looked like her attempt hadn't been as useless as she'd thought. Painful, but not useless.

Isa went looking for Adelle, remembering she had promised to explain a few things to the young woman. Quickly picking up her scent, Isa soon came across a large black and gold shape attacking a tree. Isa smiled as she watched Adelle test her strength against the tree. It was rather amusing, watching her dance around and then bite the tree. Adelle seemed to realize it was a bad idea and quickly backed up, howling until she looked at the damage she had inflicted on its trunk.


The silver woman stepped forward with a smile on her face. Why not test your abilities on something that can fight back? I’m happy to train with you. Isa wasn’t mocking the pup at all, just acting like she normally would have around the girl. Isa shifted into Secui form and looked Adelle over, wondering if she wanted to train for a bit or talk first. She knew the young woman wanted answers as to why Isa carried the strange scent.

Adelle spun around, tail wagging brightly at the approach of a familiar friend. Isa! Bounding over Adelle immediately butted heads with the older female, nuzzling along her happily. Isa still smelled odd, stirring questions in the pup's mind. Why did she smell that way? She had promised to tell, but the swiftly growing pup was yet to receive her answers. Growling playfully Adelle bounded back into a play bow. She was getting close to Isa's height, and would eventually surpass her dear friend. For now though, she was still smaller, if possibly weighing more from her stockier build.


Yes! Train, be strong warrior. Why do you smell? Her english was still butchered, if consisting of more words than it used to. The awkward sentences flew over her head, unaware of the disconnection. Adelle was more fluent than when she'd first arrived, only knowing a few words, and even then needing prompting to be able to speak properly. She had gone a long way, even if she needed to go even further.

OOC Awkwardness!


Adelle bounded over to her and butted heads with Isa before nuzzling the woman. The pup backed up and gave a playful bow. She was almost as big as Isa, but with more muscle mass. Isa always did have a much leaner build but she was still very strong. As expected, Adelle agreed to training but asked again why she smelled.


Feeling a little awkward, Isa shuffled her feet before sitting down. Godt, er jeg I varme. Hundyr gå ind varme et par gange om året angives beløbet af dage. Hver kvinde er normalt forskellige dog med hvor mange dage og hvor mange gange. Hundyr afgive en duft, der tiltrækker hanner, der angiver at de kan blive gravide så de kan have hvalpe. Det er derfor, jeg lugt sjovt Adelle.

Adelle stared at Isa, the full weight of responsibility on the older female's shoulder. Adelle wanted to know why Isa had changed. She was acting different from her usual self, not wandering around the pack as much as she had before. She would disappear for hours into the fort without returning. She sat down as Isa did, listening for the answer. What did come was very surprising. Adelle fell completely still, only her nose moving a little as she digested the information. Something for females to attract males. Something so that females got pregnant with puppies.


She had to wonder why males were involved, but first she had to absorb the fact that Isa might have puppies soon. Did this mean that pups would be coming to Isa soon? She studied the ground, absorbing what she had been told before moving onto the next question, information absorbed. Så du vil til at have hvalpe snart? The question was a lot more hesitant. Adelle hadn't expected that answer. As much as she believed she was an adult, Adelle still had far to grow.

Adelle became motionless once Isa gave her an answer. It seemed the pup was trying to understand all the information she was given by the older female. She stared at the ground for a little while before asking a second question. Isa thought for a moment before giving an answer. Did she want pups? Yes, of course she did. The question was if Hadley would want them if she did become pregnant. They hadn’t ever talked about it so Isa didn’t know if he even wanted pups. The pair were technically never trying to have pups but with her being in heat, it certainly seemed possible for her to end up carrying his pups. She should probably talk to Hadley about it soon, just in case.


Isa looked over at the pup with a smile on her face. Maybe. We will see. She spoke in English this time, wanting Adelle to practice speaking it more often. Any more questions? She knew the pup probably had a million questions for her but she would answer them to the best of her ability.

Maybe. Maybe soon there'd be puppies for Adelle to protect and guide. She could help them become warriors as well, help them be strong and proud. It was sad that they wouldn't get a shifting ceremony, something that had been explained very carefully to her. Adelle could still do her best to guide and care for them however. Her tail wagged, eyes bright with what would soon happen. Her mind took the question, swiftly turning it into fact. There would be puppies to play with.


Adelle thought about what she was told again. Puppies would be coming because of the smell, which attracted males. It would make Isa pregnant. Pregnant now? Why male? It was english, if a very butchered version of the questions she wanted to ask. Frustrated Adelle switched back to danish to get her questions across better. Er du gravid lige nu? Hvorfor vil du bruge en mand at blive gravid?

OOC here! WC: 240



Isa noticed Adelle’s tail wagging behind her, no doubt excited that there could possibly be new pups for her to play with. She wasn’t even sure though if she would have pups. She was already almost done with her cycle and she hadn’t noticed any signs of her being pregnant. Then again, she had never been pregnant before, or been around any females who were, so it could be possible that she wouldn’t notice. Hopefully she would, Isa would love having some pups of her own.


Isa shook her head as she spoke. No, I don’t think I’m pregnant know. The young woman should be able to understand the silver woman’s words, even if it was English. The second part of Adelle’s question Isa was unsure how to answer. She was still young so perhaps she shouldn’t explain exactly what happens just yet. Deciding to give the pup a simple version, she looked over at the young girl beside her. It takes both a male and a female to have pups. That I will explain a little better later. Isa smiled at Adelle before nipping at the pups ear playfully. Train now?

No puppies? The crushing disappointment was visible. Adelle had been so sure they would be coming. Her tail sank down, ears down against her head once more. There would be no puppies to protect, to train as future warriors. She stared at the ground, nodding her head in agreement at the short explanation given. Her mind had raced so far ahead, to have it snatched away so simply was depressing. None of her plans would come true without the pups.


The playful nip at her ears brought Adelle back out. Bouncing back she growled playfully. Vigorously she nodded. She would be a great warrior now! It couldn't go wrong. The early lessons with her Grandpa ran through her mind, circling around Isa to look for a weak point. Adelle darted in, large paws pushing to hit Isa down to the ground, tail wagging wildly before she leaped back again to measure her success.

Isa could see Adelle’s disappointment right away and felt bad for getting her excited for the possibility of pups. I might still have pups dear, there is still time left. Perhaps the young woman wanted some more pups to play with or maybe she wanted to train them to be fearsome warriors like her. Either way, Isa hoped she would have pups.


Adelle moved back and growled playfully after Isa nipped her ear. She certainly was an adorable pup still. The young woman circled around her, probably looking for a weak spot. Her grandfather had probably given her a little basic training. Adelle rushed forward, pushing at Isa to try to force her down before backing away quickly. Isa didn’t go down though, but she did get pushed back a few steps. Standing tall, Isa smiled at Adelle. Good. Again. She watched the pup and redied herself for a second attack.

Puppies might still come? That was good, though Adelle didn't get as excited about it as she had the first time, determined to act mature and not get hyped up over something that might not happen. Even if she really did want more puppies to play with. Adelle was going to behave, and concentrate on the fighting lesson instead. She was looking forwards to that. Adelle's tail swished happily behind her, measuring her success.


Isa had been forced to retreat a couple steps from the heavy blow Adelle had landed, her weight enough to do so. Not the success she'd been looking for, but still good enough. Her tail stilled behind her, watching for where she could leap in. The same attack twice wouldn't work. Adelle knew that, having repeated attacks over and over again only to be defeated when one realized what she was doing. Fiercely she leaped forwards to clamp her jaws around Isa's scruff.

Adelle didn’t seem as excited about the fact that Isa might have pups the second time, more than likely trying to keep herself from getting disappointed if she didn’t have pups. They would just have to wait and see if she would.


Turning her attention back to the training, watching as Adelle seemed to take in Isa’s movements and try to figure out how to attack next. The pup was taking a little while though, a big mistake if she were in battle. More time would only allow the one she was attacking, more time to attack before she did. Finally, Adelle leaped forward and clamped down onto the scruff on Isa’s neck. Isa bit down on the pups shoulder, getting a good grip before pulling Adelle off of her. She moved her leg out behind Adelle’s back legs, hoping to trip her. If she succeeded, Isa would allow the pup to stand once again for more training.

It was a good grip! Her tail wagged happily, growling around the fur in her mouth. Adelle shook her head, hoping to take the larger wolf with her. Teeth clamped into her shoulder though. She wasn't hurt, though it did ache a little to have teeth grab the muscle there. Surprised Adelle let go of her grip, and got thrown off. Adelle didn't go far, too heavy for that. The pup simply landed heavily on her feet, looking at Isa.


A swipe came for her legs, but Adelle was clever enough to crouch down, her four legged form keeping her balance as it struck against her. It would be a lot harder to knock one off balance in this form. Grinning deviously Adelle charged forward to Isa, twisting her head to nip at the soft flesh of the stomach, hoping that the strike would be able to panic Isa and leave her exposed for Adelle to go for the throat.

Isa noticed Adelle’s tail wagging as she held onto the woman’s scruff. She quickly let go though when Isa grabbed onto her shoulder. She knew she didn’t bite hard enough to hurt the young girl, she made sure she never did. The swipe to the pups legs failed as Adelle crouched down, keeping herself balanced. Good Adelle. The pup then charged forward and tried to bite at Isa’s stomach. Wanting to avoid the teeth completely, Isa jumped to the side but the girls teeth still managed to lightly scrape against her side.


A large grin appeared on Isa’s face and she spoke as she shifted into Optime. Let’s see how well you do in this form. She stood in front of Adelle and waited for the girl to shift so they could continue.

Praised Adelle's tail wagged harder. She was trying to do well and fight back. With her new form it was a little more difficult. She was heavier and thicker than she used to be after all. Everything had to be rethought, as she wasn't able to fit into places she used to be, and did a lot more damage. Play fighting with her was more dangerous as well, Adelle unaware of how strong she was. Teeth grazed along Isa's stomach, cutting off some of the fur. She barked with excitement as Isa soared off, putting distance between them.

Isa began to shift, entering into optime form. Adelle whined a little, thinking the session was over. She had just warmed up though! And had been doing really well. Why would Isa stop it? Asked to show her optime form Adelle paused, concentrating on how to do it. It was slow work, starting with her muscles beginning to churn inside her. She felt them swell and lengthen, pushing against her body. The skin stretched as bone rotated, changing it's form. Her tail swayed behind her, helping her move to balance on two legs. Short black hair came out, chest selling out. Paws changed shape as toes lengthened, thinning out into fingers to fight with. Her back legs kicked out, pushing her body up.

At last she stood up, shaking herself out. It was a little disorienting, looking around from such a high view point. It was very different from lupine or secui. Everything worked differently. Flexing her fingers Adelle smiled at Isa, letting her friend take in her form.

When Isa shifted, Adelle seemed upset at first. Perhaps she thought they were already done training. Once Isa asked her to shift into Optime, she seemed to understand they weren’t done yet. The silver woman watched as the young woman began to shift. It took longer than it did for Isa but that was understandable, she hadn’t been shifting for very long. She certainly was a beautiful, strong young woman.


Isa gave Adelle a moment as she stood, knowing the pup would need a little time after shifting before training again. With a smile on her face, Isa looked the girl over. Good, are you ready Adelle? She took up a fighting stance. There would be no need for weapons at the moment, since they were training in hand-to-hand combat for the time being.

OOC here!


Adelle tensed her body, thinking about how she was supposed to go about this. She didn't know anything about fighting in optime. Sure, she'd seen it happen, but without being able to truly experience it Adelle was left in the dark. Taking on a stance she'd seen someone do, albeit clumsily, with feet a little too close together and arms too far out, Adelle nodded her head. She was ready for this!


Of course, that meant she had to figure out how to attack. Thoughtfully she shifted her weight. Overbalanced Adelle struck out with her right fist. She was used to striking with a firm balance, no need to be concerned. It left her overly exposed, sides bare and arms unable to move fast enough to be able to draw back and protect herself if a blow came back. Adelle didn't see that though, simply using a fist to punch Isa's chest.

Adelle seemed extremely unbalanced and clumsy in her optime form. Perhaps this was the first time she was training in this form. Isa knew it wouldn’t take the pup long to get the hang of it though. She returned Adelle’s nod, watching carefully as the young girl struck out at her with her right fist, leaving her sides completely exposed. Isa took the opportunity to block Adelle’s attack and brought her own fist forward to send a punch to the girl’s side. If she was using all her strength, she probably could have cracked a rib or two since Adelle wasn’t wearing any armor, but Isa was going easy on the pup and made sure she wouldn’t be hurt.

Despite the fact that Adelle was skilled in fighting, that she easily dealt with others in secui and lupine, thanks to all her time spent play fighting, Adelle didn't have a clue how to transfer it into optime form. She was forced to start from the ground up again, an odd experience as Adelle didn't truly remember the beginning of her training, as young as she was. It had always been part of her, working beside Grandpa to become like him.


The fist was blocked with ease, pushed to the side. Adelle cried out with surprise, disappointed by the movement. True, it was her first attempt, but that didn't make it any less disappointing. Even worse, a fist came flying at her, hitting her chest. The pup was knocked completely off balance, hitting the ground, despite the fact that it was gentle. The bright female looked up, slightly confused. Pushing herself off the ground she punched forwards again, hoping this one would land.
