Brooklyn liked the mild thawing of the weather. It seemed that Ehno had been right and spring would be just around the corner. She'd also decided to be more adventurous. The decision had not been that hard to come to; really, if Mati was going to be a princess, Simon the knight and Haven a dragon-knight, maybe she could be a prince. Not to her sister, though. She had enough people looking after her. Really, once she learned how to shift she could put on proper princely clothes. She could ask Ehno for a proper sword and then go off and start saving princesses. She'd have to be a cunning prince, too. Not throwing her name left and right, finding out why the princess needed saving and then doing it. Brooklyn smiled at the thought. She could always come back and visit Haven in Crimson Dreams and tell him all about her adventures.
Of course, if she was ever going to dress like a prince, she would have to find the proper clothes. And where else would she be able to but in Halifax? The territories of her pack no longer posed much of a challenge. But the world was big and she could certainly do with another adventure. Her first thought had been to go alone. But if she got into trouble, there might be no one to save her. Her imagination told her she could just be an ogre again, but her practical nature knew that no one would take her seriously. Her fun with Haven had been just that: fun. Not real. If they got into real danger, they still needed an adult to help them. Standing on the edge of the Crimson Dreams lands, the white puppy thought long and hard about who to call for. She desperately wanted her and Haven to run away together, but she couldn't in good mind expose her brother to something so dangerous. The adults might deny her the pleasure. It was then that it struck her: Jazper. He would enjoy something like that, right? Calling out to him, she paced impatiently. He had to come, he just had to!

Two wooden pails of water swung gently as large feet carried then into the washroom and placed then at the side of the tub. The water system of the mansion seemed to gather from the wells on the property, however Jazper preferred warmer water. Thus, he had taken it upon himself to boil one pail's contents on the stove. Winter was coming to a close and with that mud was starting to show up in the clearer openings where the sun could easily reach the top layers of snow. The fighter took pride in keeping himself clean for the most part and thought it rude to drag mud around the house so here he was, water, cup, towel and brush on hand. He sat down on the edge of the tub and stuck the over sized cork into the drain as he poured the water. As he started to scrub his feet to rid them of the mud he sighed. The process was boring but at least the water was warm now.
A call caught him off guard as he quickly stood up in the tub and jumped out, grabbing the towel and his shorts as he went. He hopped along the tiled floor drying each leg with a quick rub down and throwing the towel to the floor. On the way to the stairs he continued his 'hop on one leg' action as he pulled up light brown knee length shorts that were now tattered at the bottom from being well used. Lately, he had only been wearing the shorts in company, around the house he would go without sometimes, or purhaps on a hunt. However, when meeting someone directly he found he liked to cover up a little. He hadn't heard Brooklyn's call in so long it surprised him. Jazper had made an oath when the puppies were born that he would always be around when they needed him, and now he was proving that once more.
Grabbing his deep brown cloak, he threw it over his body and tied it around his neck and then, with a step outside, took it off and returned it to its hook. The air was surprisingly warm in the noon sun. closing the door behind him he started off towards the direction of the sound at a rapid pace, sniffing for the girls scent as he went. Within minutes he found himself standing at the edge of the boarders, golden eyes staring at the white girl in front of him. She had grown so much from the once tiny pup he had once knew. Now, she stood before him almost at shifting age. “What's the occasion hun?” He asked with a wink.

The sun beat down upon her and for all that winter had not relinquished its hold on the lands, Brooklyn thought that today would be a great day for an adventure. As she stood at the edge of the borders, she could feel her heart thumping in her chest. It was all so exciting, the promise of finding things she needed to find, the thought of being so close to adulthood. The white female couldn't help but wonder exactly what being so grown up meant. She would undoubtedly have to take a more active role in the pack, that much was certain. But what exactly could she do? So far she knew how to hunt small game, rabbits and mice. But a pack as big as theirs could not survive on such little food. She would have to join her older members in tracking deer, hunting as one. The thought did not scare her, though she supposed she felt a little regret that she would no longer be able to disappear with Haven and pretend to be ogres and dragons. For a moment, she thought of forgoing Jazper and leaving on her own, but his shifted form soon appeared and with a smile and a wag of her tail, Brooklyn waited for him.
The pup liked Jazper. He was not old enough yet for her to feel as though he were her parent, but still far enough from her own age that she could respect him and turn to him for judgement. Brooklyn smiled up at him, admiring the clothes he wore. One day she would be the same, she'd wear a cloak over her shoulders, she'd carry tools. Like Ehno did. Except she'd be a prince. "I want to go to Halifax. I thought you want to come with me." She didn't add "for protection" because she figured it would be pretty obvious. If she'd wanted to go off on her own, she would have done so by now. "Are you busy? Or can you come with me?" She glanced back into the lands, hoping neither Naniko nor Anu were close. She wasn't entirely sure her mothers would just let her leave. "I want to be a prince, Jazper! So I need to find the right clothes." She hoped he would understand and not reprimand her. She wasn't trying to bilk her way out of the lands, she wanted to see where humans lived.

WC: 300+ OOC: The above post was me quoting to get my table and then it comming up as unregistered...it can be delted/ignored :S IC:
The young females words caught the coal wolf of guard. Her jabbering reminded him of himself as a young Twilight Vale pup. Back when Lucifer was around. Halifax was like his second home, he was always going into the city to find gadgets and trinkets here and there, books and instruments for his ever growing collection. It seemed the pup had inherited a trait he had yet to see in her mother, impatience. This became clear as she explained that she wanted clothes to become a prince. Of course, Jazz had the joy of being thrown into this story land of the Crimson Dreams pups. Haven was a knight, and Mati a princess, what was left but to be a prince? With a chuckle he nodded, “Okay okay, give a wolf some time to think will ya.” He teased.
Naniko had become more relaxed recently, letting the kids run around as the pleased. They were all growing into fine young adults and starting to learn just how they could contribute to the pack. However, he still was curious if Naniko would want her daughter going to Halifax. Silently he thanked the sun god that she had at least felt comfortable calling to him instead of just running off. Nodding once more he broke. “I suppose you'll be shifting very soon anyways. Might as well have something to wear if thats what you want.” He encouraged with a light tone. Jerking his head he chuckled, “Come on then.” Starting off at a slow run in the direction of the broken down city. The run would take some time traveling with a smaller pup but he honestly did not mind. The journey there was beautiful, and passed through different landscapes. It was best that Brooklyn learned about these different land marks before traveling on her own and Jazper was always a sucker for Naniko's pups.
