Oh the shame of it all. Running back with his tail between his legs, both metaphorically and literally, and he was empty handed to boot. He had failed to fulfill his goal upon leaving Cour des Miracles soon after joining it. Strelein had somehow thought that his brother, Arol, might have followed him. In their childhood, Arol had been the one most like Strel in personality and in taste. He had hoped to forfend the bond that had once existed between them. However, it seemed the old pack's rock hard hand of power muzzled the other von Rosnete. Strel was sent from the unclaimed hovel he claimed as his own for the brief interim, back to the edges of the pack he felt he could snugly fit into well. It seemed like some sort of stalemate; a scoreboard with the redhead against his old home. All that adorned that imaginary board was a tie, with no breaker in sight.


If sticking his tail between his legs further was possible, and still have him walking normally on two legs, he would have wedged it in there tight. Leaving felt like he was forsaking something grand, but undetermined yet. Strel knew there was more to see and do in Cour des Miracles, but his family instincts had burned hotter. At least, for a short while. Sometime, after being gone almost two months, the two year old finally realized his own stupidity; if his brother were truly looking for him, then he could find him with a pack, where he could be accepted as another stray pup, eager to fit in. After literally beating himself up over it, Strel turned and struck back to the border.


There it got a little tricky. He idled, already in the pack lands, but still far enough on the edge that no one going about their day would notice him with ease. Glancing about, he wondered what this situation entailed. What was he supposed to do? Before this, he'd only asked to join one pack, and this was it. He was standing on the edge of the first pack he had ever joined. Except now he was asking to come back, like a soldier who was beaten by scare tactics instead of real fire.


An odd, out of place whimper escaped him. It was quickly stifled and the redhead shook his head to clear it. More stupidity. How was he ever going to attract a mature man? He paused again a few more tentative steps in. He was starting to feel that, perhaps, he ought to wait for someone. Maybe someone would be kind enough to liberate the redhead from his woe.

Firefly had been out hunting yet once again but she had long ago given up when her luck had changed with the shifting of the winds. She really wasn't that hungry either and she knew that Ruri and Jontae had enough as well. Instead of just hunting for the pack she'd idled along the border refreshing scent markers and observing the trackings of creatures that had passed by recently. There really wasn't much except the same old news until a familiar but slightly changed scent hit her nose.

It took the silvery woman a second to realize who the scent belonged to and a cackle rose from her throat as she prepared to assault the poor boy once more. The Sadira woman pranced excitedly along the borders following the scent of the male until he came into sight. She paused a distance away, partially hidden from view by a holly bush. Flicking her tail back and forth a moment as she studied the former packmate she'd once pestered and teased. Her excitement seemed to ease off though as she realized that something seemed to have hit the male hard, nothing about his stance and posture reminded her of the male she'd briefly known.

Slipping out of her cover she called out as she strolled towards him. "Look what the cat dragged in.." Then briefly paused to make certain that Elroy wasn't about to try and figure out just what she was talking about. She didn't feel like having to explain expressions to a small hairball right now. Letting her eyes flicker back to the male she smiled. "Long time stranger.."

Strelein scratched at his left ear, fiddling with the loops. He was not sure how cleanly he had pierced himself, but he hoped he could have someone in the pack check it over; an infection would have been a great way to herald his return. As his arm slid down his neck, fingers brushing against the motley collection of beads. Primaries mingled against colors whose names were too fancy to list fully like garnet, azure, and moss. If the wolf wanted to stick out any further, this was just the thing that would do it. Never would this beast be a great hunter for big game, not with his appearance. He'd have to strip and forsake his jewelry in his lupine form in order to eat. What a bother.



A scent seemed to flutter through the air as though on wings. Strelein lifted his head upwards, gazing at the tree he lounged against. Nails scratched at the bark as he pushed away from it to try and find the source of the identifying scent. Twisting every which way, the redhead's hesitant pose changed almost instantly. Nervousness was still evident in his glances, but his broad grin showed his old self was far from dead. Mocking his first entrance onto these lands as a loner not terribly long ago, he bowed at the woman who had made fun of him.



"My, my, I think I may have lured a firefly away." As he righted himself, Stel smoothed the cloth adorning his body. The shirt was old, though the vest that now covered it was new; it had been made from some sturdy blue material. The chill of the approaching winter had called for some better coverings, despite his fur. Besides, the youth proudly wore it, believing his skills were improving. "And how has this lovely lady been in my absence?" he flirted, securing his now larger bag on his back so that the lute did not prod at his spine.

Firefly didn't mind the fact that the boy seemed to play right along with her game, infact it just seemed to amuse her. When his voice floated past on the currents she just raised a brow lazily as she let out a little dramatic sigh. "Oh how will the world fair without their firefly.." she asked with a soft chuckle. She really loved to tease the boys and when they danced to her tune or set a tune for the event to be played to it made it just that much more satisfying.

She wasn't for certain if the figure was planning to stay but his words and gestures seemed to suggest that. When He asked her what had been going on a shadow seemed to cloud her thoughts for a second before she shook her head and smiled wistfully. "Times haven't been well in the Court but then again we seem to thrive on drama now don't we." she said as she moved to his side.

One paw reached out to touch his arm as she tilted her head to the side, taking his arm as though he was now her own little guide through the lands he'd already trespassed onto. "And are we going for a brief jaunt or will you be staying long enough for me to try and woo you away.." She really was horrible to the boy but he seemed to be standing up quite well to her strangeness so she figured that he wouldn't wilt under a little more pressure from her.

A sigh escaped the male as his quiescent mind was devoid of thought, simply playing along with Firefly. The grin on his face was relaxed, exceptionally natural. It was good to be back among those who understood how to play, however common it may have seemed. To say he had not missed them all -- shockingly even Svara -- would taste a lie. It had been lonesome in the woods, waiting for a familiar scent of his past to waft by. Why he ever left, he could not truly comprehend. Strel was a social creature and an existence of solitude devoid of other wolves and the music of society was enough to drive one mad. Even this single conversation was enough to lift his desolate spirits from the lowest it had ever been in his short life. He would have to find a gift for this woman, for her unknowing gift of being the first to truly converse with him.


The dark look that had briefly crossed the female's features sent a pang of worry into the male's mind. It had been too brief to know for sure bad things had occurred. Strel certainly hoped nothing terrible had happened. Firefly's voice told him that, indeed, there was something that needed to be told. "It is the way of the court to cause the drama. The very nature of it, I would say," he added sheepishly, fully aware that it was the way of the world for drama to unfold.


Firefly took his arm and he gentlemanly brought his hand to his chest to support her grip. The smile etched into his features blossomed wider, practically beaming. "With this treatment, why on earth would I want to leave again? And these promises of wooing? You'll find I am far from easy to woo, m'lady." He smirked, thinking it all a clever game to play. Strelein pulled Firefly towards the pack lands, eager to resettle himself. Though his look fell a bit with his next words, "So what important things have I missed?" He glanced at the woman, eyes almost pleading for the assurance that everyone was still okay. "How is everyone?"
