Getting My Feet Under Me

Severus Poer de Angelo · 05-31-2012, 11:12 AM

The de Angelo boy had kept mostly to himself since the day he'd spent with Octavius. Something about teen angst, hating the world and enjoying is own company too much. He spent most of his days wondering about his father and why he wasn't around, and why his mother hadn't made him head of the pack yet. He was convinced that he'd be the perfect leader, in all his naivety, and was impatient to take the reins that were supposedly (in his mind) his. In all his laziness his belly had rounded, and the budding muscles on his arms and legs had dwindled to stringy cords. He scoffed as he thought of them.

If he ever hoped to be the leader of anything, he knew, he'd need to be strong. He'd also have to get used to Optime, and practice more like Octavius had told him weeks ago. Slowly the dark male pulled himself up and trotted out of the caves in his favored Secui form. He glanced around, silver eyes inspecting the area for any pack-mates. The prince was still wary of shifting in front of anyone for he felt it was a moment of weakness. Not seeing anyone at the present moment, the boy closed his eyes and shifted, slowly and painstakingly gaining his stance on two feet instead of four. Glancing over himself, he flexed his humanoid hands and shifted his weight from foot to foot, testing his balance. All seemed good to go.

Now that he was ready to train, he realized he had no idea how. Awkwardly he walked over to a nearby tree and placed his foot as high as it could go, stretching. It felt good and seemed like something a muscly wolf would do, so he repeated the action with his other foot. Then he stretched his arms above himself and lifted up on his clawed toes. After stretching, he decided to drop down to the ground and place his hands below his shoulders, then pushed himself up. It was the most awkward and clumsy push-up ever, but he continued, feeling as though he was getting somewhere. Desperately skinny and lanky, the boy needed to get some muscle built up or he'd get nowhere.

The poor fool just didn't know what he was doing.

The day was calm, and it was a nice day to be outside in. Rio rarely found herself around Anathema for more than a day to either rest up and get back out exploring, or just to come back for a few things. She didn’t feel right being here anymore and wanted to explore the rest of the world, just like Lucia, hoping to find somewhere that reeled her in. She preferred to do all her exploring and traveling elsewhere – like New Dawn or nearby Inferni. All the dangerous areas, it seemed. She had been in Anathema for a few weeks now, maybe two, recuperating from her last trip. It was a long hike all the way from here to Grand Lake, or Sangilak, whatever that was. Supposedly it was a new pack that was forming, but it didn’t smell like one nor did it seem like one either. All those thoughts, she put aside. She was going outside to enjoy some fresh air.

She exited out of the cave mouth to find a familiar boy. Though they hadn’t met yet, aside from her letting him bite her fingers when he was a pup, she was almost certain that it was her half-brother. She slowed her pace and watched him do whatever it was he was doing. She wasn’t even sure. It seemed like he was exercising, though she didn’t know what exactly he needed to be exercising for. He was a growing boy after all, and his muscles would come in time.

When she neared him, she stopped and sat in the grass nearby, ”Hey there!” She looked at him weirdly. ”What are you doing, lil’ bro?” She knew that he probably wouldn’t recognize her, but it would all be dealt with soon enough. It was about time they had a relationship. She had yet to meet Octavius and Judas, but at least now she finally got to meet Severus. Rio watched the wimpy boy with a taunting smile on her lips; she really couldn’t understand why he needed to be doing these human-like pushups.
