He had helped her move some of her things over already, like her dresses, but they hadn't actually asked permission for her to join yet. She hadn't been sure about leaving Inferni at all...but if there was one thing that she was sure of it was Haven. She knew she wanted to be with him, to make up all of the time that they had ever spent apart. She wanted to fall asleep every night knowing that he was just a few feet away from her if she ever needed him for anything. And in turn, she would do anything for him.

She came to the borders of the packlands. Siobhan was wearing a new dress today, a simple red cloth one that went nearly down to her white feet. It was a new dress for a new day. A new life. The girl gave a small, yipping howl, wringing her hands together as she watched the horizonline anxiously. She had never tried to join a pack before. What would she do if she was denied?

Haven was outside, sitting against the wall of the house he had claimed for himself. His guitar sat in his lap and his fingers idly picked at the strings while his mind was traveling elsewhere. When he had first moved in the house had been pretty empty. He had few enough possessions. His jacket and jeans, a few books, his guitar, and now his sword and whetstones. But lately it had filled up with more things, and they did not belong to him. They belonged to Siobhan. He had never asked her to leave Inferni for him (though he wanted her to), knowing that would not be right of him. But it seemed that she had decided to, or at least was entertaining the idea. If there was one thing the young hybrid knew, it was that he didn't want to spend his life without her.



An interesting howl broke the silence of the air and his eyes lit up, an instant smile forming on his face. Jumping to his feet he put the guitar inside out of harm's way and raced towards the borders where her call had come from. It might have been faster to ride Drogon, but Haven didn't feel he needed his horse right now. It felt like he was walking on air. The sight of her angelic pale face paired with the crimson dress made his heart leap. He emitted a happy bark as he quickly closed the distance between them. Exuberantly he scooped her up, twirling her around and then hugged her close. Burnt orange tail waved happily behind him. No one could make him feel like she did.

As soon as she saw him her worries lessened, and she let her hands fall down to her sides as he approached. She threw her arms around him when he picked her up, laughing and shaking her head. Oh, yes. This was why she was here. She felt much lighter and less stressed out when he put her down; things seemed better with him there by her side. A smile replaced the worried look that she'd had before as he put her down, and she linked her smaller hand with his.

"Will someone come, Haven? Do we have to ask permission for me to come here?" With Inferni, Ezekiel had just brought her there. She hadn't really had to join, persay.

Her laughter was like the ringing of sweet bells to his ears. He laughed in return as he spun around with her. When he had first shown up he had sensed a nervousness in her, but it seemed that it was melting away right underneath his fingers. Feeling her fingers interlink with his own made butterflies flutter in his stomach. The young Knight beamed down at her, leaning forward to plant a soft kiss on the top of her muzzle. While he had hoped that she would want to join him here in Cour des Miracles, he hadn't expected her to come so soon! Though he wasn't about to second guess the thing he really wanted.



Haven nodded his head. "Yes, I'll call for one of the leaders, but don't worry Si. I know they'll let you in." He brushed his fingers gently against her cheek. Then he threw back his head and let out a call for either Jac or Svara to come to them. It was impossible for him to keep the joy and excitement from his voice. Haven hugged Siobhan close for a moment. "They can be a little rough around the edges, but they mean well." The girl was a tender heart and he hoped their strong willed leaders wouldn't frighten her.

"She's a wild heart"

She woke up again. What the fuck did they want this time?! Why was it they had to keep calling for someone? Jac was good enough, and she could leave it to him, but she was already awake and it wasn't like she needed to be sleeping anyways, but after getting the girl last night she hadn't slept, she had been wet and sticky. The constable threw back the covers of her comfy bed and sighed. It just wasn't worth trying, maybe sleep was no longer her friend.

Getting up she stretched her tired and sore body. Her hair was all over the place, sticking up in places making her look like she had wild sex. When in fact she had been tossing and turning all night with no pleasure what so ever. There was a mirror in her bedroom, that and the bed was all that she had so far. Looking at herself in the mirror with her one good eye Svara almost wanted to cry at the shambles her body had become. Scars every where, and the ones over her eyes, her tail now shorter, but not by much.

She didn't look so bad, her eyes were almost the same, other then the one being a little duler. The scars weren't so bad, and she had kinda forgotten about the word on her back. Her tail wouldn't be so bad once the fur grew out and came to a point, hiding the fact it had been bitten. Sighing she grabbed the only free floating object, a hair brush, and started into her straight hair. It took her about ten minutes to get through the tangles and pull it up into a pony tail, her bangs thick around her face. Svara looked in the mirror and smiled, she wasn't hidious because of the scars.

Leaving the house she made sure to shut the door hard and wake everyone else up on her way out. If she couldn't sleep then the others had to wake up. Moving to the border she picked up a good pace, walking through the woods and cutting up to where she knew Haven had called. A grin pulled at the she wolfs maw. The boy had grown on her, he was cute with his little valor ideas. Svara was to deluded for such things. A few moments later she found him, but it wasn't just him. A white coyote girl in a red dress stood with him. She was beautiful, and standing holding the Aatte boy's hand such, the constable knew they were together.

Coming to stand before them Svara didn't even look at the girl, letting her gaze slide over to Haven. "You woke me up." Was all she said as her yellow eyes narrowed on him. Crossing her arms she thought about how to approach this subject. Then she reliazed she didn't really care. "What do you want boy?" The testy leader asked in her husky voice. So she was a little snippity today, but it wasn't her fault she got rained on and didn't get any sleep.

Everything would be ok with Haven there, she knew. The girl had been taught self-defense and fighting strategies by the best, by Ezekiel and Gabriel, but that didn't stop her from being afraid of the unknown or of strangers. It was the one thing that Zeke had never been able to cure her of. It had only ever been her, her and her mother when she'd been young...and Annei had made her afraid of almost everything in their arctic world.

A wolf came, one of their leaders, and she looked up to Haven for reassurance. This was the right wolf? She hadn't seen many with the coloration that Svara had. It reminded her a little of Haven, but with darker colors than he had. And her ear wasn't white. Siobhan observed everything about this new wolf, hoping to catch her name so that she wouldn't seem ignorant the next time they met. There weren't many in this pack yet, so she felt sure that she would run into this one again.

She wasn't being spoken to, Svara pointing her questions at Haven, so the red-eyed coyote kept her mouth shut. Some wolves didn't like coyotes...maybe this one didn't either.

As the form of Svara came into sight it was clear she wasn't in one of her better moods. Great... he thought. But his external appearance stayed cheerful. At the woman's first words Haven couldn't help but give her a crooked grin. "Welcome to being a leader." His mother had had to get up at all sorts of weird times to do pack stuff. Whether it was healing somebody or going to see a newcomer or visitor at the borders. When someone called, a leader had to come. Luckily for Svara though, this one should be fairly easy. The young hybrid was already a member and was vouching for Siobhan. He couldn't see any complications that would arise.



He spared a quick glance back down to Siobhan, smiling and rubbing her hand with his thumb. His eyes told her it was all going to be okay. Then he looked back over to the Constable. "This is Siobhan and she wants to join the pack. She's going to come live with me." Internally the youth was preparing himself for some snide comments or a bit of teasing. He just hoped Svara wouldn't make any raunchy comments. That was more likely to come from Jac than from their female leader, but he wouldn't put it past her. The physical part of his and Siobhan's relationship was fledgling and made him nervous considering his father's past actions. They were taking everything at her pace, only doing something when she was ready for it.

Svara let her gaze drift to the pretty girl once, jealousy planting it's evil roots in her gut. Svara wasn't angry or even hatful towards the girl, only wished that she could say she was as beautiful. Haven spoke making the constable take her attention off the girl and back to the other. Grumbling she wished she had her staff to take and beat him over the head with it. Lifting her hand she did a talking motion with it. "Your doing this you need to do this." She stopped the talking motion, showing a slilent mouth. She was in a really pissy mood...really pissy.

He introduced the girl and Svara didn't look at her when he did. It was easier to not feel the envy when she just looked at the boy. "I don't see why she can't stay. Keep her away from Jac he might try to steal her for himself." The constable said almost boredly. Crossing her arms over her chest her eyes some how found their way back to the girl. She hadn't said anything, she was smart that much Svara could see. She also smelt of Inferni. Weather Svara liked that or not she wasn't sure. She didn't want to be acussed of stealing members, but she didn't mind having everyone from all around form the pack either. The constable let her scarred face turn away.

She hadn't been looked at by the leader the entire time that they had stood there, and she looked worriedly to and from the pair in front of her. She wanted Svara to look at her, to acknowledge that she was even there...but she got nothing. She looked down at the ground then, at her feet, rubbing her fingers lightly over Haven's.

Haven was told that she was allowed to join, and Siobhan's eyes came back up to look at the scarred leader. Alright, then. She still wasn't being looked at...but as long as she was allowed to join it was something that she would put up with. She wanted to stay here with Haven, and that was what mattered. No one else had to like her or even talk to her.

However, the last part of what Svara said confused her. Steal her for himself? What was that supposed to mean? She gave Haven a questioning look.

At Svara's exasperation and display Haven just rolled his eyes, but said nothing more. He hadn't seen her in this foul a mood since the day they had first met. Thankfully now he had his backbone again and was able to handle all her attitude. Besides, better that it was directed at him than at Siobhan. He didn't want the Constable picking on the poor coyote girl. The Knight squeezed Siobhan's hand light as she brushed her fingers against his. It was only then he really noticed that Svara was explicitly avoiding looking at her. That struck him as very odd. Why did she refuse to set her eyes upon the one who was wanting to join their pack? Curious as he was, he knew better than to voice those questions.



The hybrid's grin widened as she confirmed the fact that Siobhan could stay, his tail wagging. Though the last comment about Jac actually made him worried. He wasn't worried about Siobhan leaving him for their King, but he knew how interested in the ladies Jac was, and there was no denying Si's beauty. Hopefully the collie would have enough respect to leave her be, but Haven wasn't holding his breath, especially if Jacquez were drunk. "I will," he said with a sigh. Catching his girl's questioning look he quietly explain. "Jac's...a little bit of a flirt." Haven wasn't possessive, but he could imagine his temper flaring if Jac tried to pull anything funny on her.

Still she refused to look at the girl. Svara was sure they both noticed, but Haven wouldn't want to prolong their conversation with her in such a mood. The girl probably didn't deserved to be ignored, but the constable could bare to look at her again. Sometimes life wasn't fair. Letting her yellow eyes direct themselves somewhere else she spoke again. "if that's all you need then I'm leaving." The red she wolf said already starting to turn around.

Svara was happy the girl had come, the boy needed something to keep him grounded. The constable took a deep breath and with out thought she looked over her shoulder and gave the white girl a long look. Her yellow eyes for a moment had no fire in them and there was a saddness in them. Quickly she turned her head back around before heading back towards her home. The long pony tail swaying with her movements. She just had to remember, Life wasn't always fair. She had done this to herself.
