I need you now

((For anyone and everyone, but not mandatory. Set midday on October 11th. Tal and Myrddin are in Optime. Free post order. ))

He didn't ask permission to call, he just threw his head back and let the summons fall from his lips. He stood in front of Skye's house, facing the center of town. His shirt cropped mane was messier than usual, a result of him combing his fingers through it constantly since arriving home early this morning.

He'd waited until noon to call. He needed the D'Artisians, he needed their help. Not for himself, but for his family, for everyone's peace of mind. No one knew where the Rhiannon matriarch was. He knew the traders could help. If his mother was still alive, and in a pack, the traders would find her or find news of her at the very least.

Myrddin pressed against his father, the two males standing shoulder to shoulder. Except for the brown points that marked him, the two males were identical. Myrddin knew that Deuce wasn't dead. Tameri would have told him if Deuce had entered the spirit world.

Another crippling wave of depression and grief had hit the female, causing her to stagger into bed and remain there for what seemed like eternity. The overwhelming grief clawed at her broken heart and ate into the very recesses of her soul. Hotaru's breath came in shallow gasps as the weight of her grief pushed against her lungs and made it almost impossible to breath. Both graves stood behind the house, silent testimonies to the two lives that had once grown inside her. She could still feel their soft fur against her fingers, the heat of Aiden and Aysun's bodies as they slowly slipped away from her. Clenching her fists, Hotaru let herself slip into depression and waited still as the grave for the feeling to pass.

It seemed as if she would never be allowed to grieve in peace. If it wasn't one thing, it was another. Taliesin's howl for the pack forced the grieving mother out of her self pity and into her council position. If Taliesin was calling a pack meeting, then she had better be there. It was her job and her responsibility to be there, even if all she wanted to do was crawl into a hole and never return. Rising, Hotaru grabbed her walking staff and made her way to Skye's house where the call originated. With each step, the grey wolf composed herself and sealed her troubles away behind a mask of cool reason.

With her tail and posture relaxed, the Overseer approached Taliesin and Myrddin. "You called? "

Given she was a pNPC I assume she has met everyone at least once to know their names. ^^ Feel free to do the same with her!

The aftermath of the hurricane was, more or less, confined to various injuries and destruction that were (in Rosie’s opinion) far less than what they might have been. Her own home had been untouched, save for the leaves and various water blown in through the window, and she had cleaned up quickly. It was not a large building and indeed closer to a cottage, so packed with drying herbs and garments and odds and ends. The fleur-de-lis was a reoccurring symbol, though only in those few things brought from France herself. Roselle pined for her homeland and dearly wished to find traders from such a place—with winter coming, though, she worried there might not be a chance until warmer weather.

One thing that did not change, bad weather or fair, was the day-to-day life within the pack. While her job was less demanding than some, Rosie took her assumed co-rank very seriously. Today was no different. She had started off with the intention of spending her day with Skye’s newest brood only to be surprised by a howl originating from her destination. Much to her surprise it was Taliesin, one of the Council, who was present with his son. The other Council member, Hoatru, was also there. Surely something was happening that would require her attention. Determined to shake off her outward appearance of a skinny, frail thing, Rosie approached with her head high and bell-decorated skirt jingling merrily. Though curious, she managed to hear Horatu’s question and remained silent herself, blue eyes eagerly watching the men to see what summons had come.

OOC: Leviothan is in lupus

In a manner, Leviothan had known earlier this morning that today was going to be filled with news and the many unspoken questions that had lain bare for the pack for the past few weeks. Since he'd been here, there had already been a bustling of several different activities and happenings, the hurricane for one which had hidden one of his favorite spoons, one he'd first made when on his trip. He rolled lazily from his back and onto his side, rolling in the soft grass before the sound of a howl cut through the silence of the wooded area, through the forest and near Skye's home. He'd heard two howls since being here, one that announced others leaving and now this one which announced to him that there was something happening. Immediately he was upon his four padded paws, claws gently kneading against the dirt beneath. Each step taken led him toward a hand carved basin of water that he'd manage to create himself. Silently, his pink and purplish tongue shot free of his ebony lips to pull back four large gulps of the fresh, cooled water before he crept away from it and toward the sound.

He was slower today then usual, due to a late morning of soft, barely heard howling toward the sun in the distance of the sky yet finally he came upon the pack's Thornbury, making his way through the stable's slight ally way, between the Corral and the actual stable itself. It was wondrous being able to see the animals first thing in the morning, especially because of how beautiful they naturally were. If they seemed spooked by his wolfish appearance, none seemed to show it. Leviothan's copper toned fur glistened just slightly in the light of the midday sun, his tongue flashing from between his jaws to hang loosely from the tip of his maw. When finally he turned the corner of the stables, he was in a direct line to Skye's home. Naturally, his ears went from half-eager attention to half mass as if expecting to meet older pack mates there and the moment he reached the others, he moved to stand beside Rosie, his black, scar tipped nose bumping against the side of her leg in a gentle, quiet hello. He hadn't met her yet.

When he spotted that the occasion of such a call might of have been important, he fell down to his haunches, tail beating aimlessly at the dirt beneath. The speckled black of his fur seemed uncoordinated, spread out in dense patterns over the broadness of his back, his front paws used to lay out before him. If Taliesin needed the pack, then he was here. No if's, and's, or but's about it. In his meager attempt at respect, his gaze never moved past the three speaking, despite his position closer to Rosie. He needed not to know the reason that they were all called together, only to know that his feeling of love and respect for his family was intact, that he could continue every day life as being one of the pack's Craftsmen.

WC: 253 OOC: Eclipse is optime and the cute lil horsie is a lil foal palamino ^^

Eclipse was relaxing for the moment her work with Grace was finished and she had worked on Colt for some time now. He was an energetic animal who was afraid of nothing. She wondered if he should be gelded just for that reason, but his spirit was so great. She didn’t want him to lose it. She was heading the young palamino back to his stables when she heard the howl. Her ears perked and she decided to take the young animal with her. He was still short for being all but a little over six months old, but that was fine with her, he was an amazing creature. She couldn’t ride him but he was learning small little tricks that the girl was teaching him, nothing he would need in life but he seemed to enjoy it, and it seemed very enriching for the young animal.

She hurried herself and Colt to the spot where the howl came from. She immediately knew who it was when she saw the small gathering. Taliesin who helped her with her foot, and then her miscarriage, it was sad that she had only seen him in times of her pain so now here she was ready to help him in any way she could as it seemed what he needed. She stood in the back of the small group so that Colt didn’t hurt any feet that were around him. She wasn’t calling for attention, but it seemed he was urgent in his call.
