The days were coming together too quickly, he had a lot on his mind, the puppies that were soon to be born to Orin, and then the whole snow storm fiasco. They were still cleaning up after it. In fact today he could be seen repairing the stables, though it had been temporarily fixed, he decided it was best to get it back into real working shape it would do no good to have sick animals on their hands from the chill they have been getting lately. He had some boards out and ready to do a patch up job, he would really fix as many buildings as he could come spring, but patch up jobs did wonders and he knew that cosmetics were for those who could afford such things. The pack could not yet. They were close to many things, as they were growing still and the herds have not come back yet. It had been a hard winter on him as he tried to provide for not just the two women he’d felt attached to in one way or another. Orin because she was carrying his children, and Sky for his love for her. She’d just lost a litter, along with Valinta, which saddened him as well, but she knew the father was there for her, and he could do only so much to help her. He did not like seeing Sky unhappy though, and he had been thinking now for days… what she meant by a human wedding.

He was getting distracted from his work again thinking about this stuff. Shaw frowned at himself as he looked at the stables, which was not getting done because of his distant thoughts. He marked a few places he needed to cover up and started working, the banging of the hammer reverberated off the walls of the houses, though a lot of work had been done in the town lately, so he knew that it would be a common noise to any that heard it.

Mars was not a happy camper, the man barely ever was. The last few days had been busy, rebuilding, and dealing with all the other horse crap that they had to deal with over the last few days, including the disappearance and reappearance of both Axel and Vox. Bartholomew also showed up to him this morning, loud and obnoxiously yelling about potatoes in Mars' ears at about five o'clock in the morning. Could you imagine that? Waking up to someone yelling in your face about how they wanted some mashed potatoes and gravy and then going on to yell about how they wanted potato-cakes as well. It made Mars have to get up and yell back about how he didn't care about how much he didn't give a shit and how much he just wanted to sleep until at least nine o' clock or something. He just wasn't ready for the world yet. Bartholomew had taken the body out to find those potatoes he so desperately he wanted. Needless to say, the Cubbins man did not find any potatoes and he went back to the house and gave the body back to Mars by the time he wanted to be awake. When Mars woke up, he had started to work on things immediately. For awhile, he had been working on a pair of jeans that he was to trade for services from a coywolf named Itzal. He needed to be ready for when the man came to seek the Russo, and the snowstorm had been great motivation to get it started at least. He would work on those for about an hour or two before he had taken to playing his guitar. Cercatori'D Arte was known for the music that was normally being played in whatever form. Mars heard music day and night sometimes, and sometimes he would just listen, others he'd play his guitar along with. Today, the music was in the form of the banging of hammers and the sounds of rebuilding happening. Mars respected the pack for rebuilding.

Mars had decided at some point that it was time for him to go and be ordered around to help with the rebuilding of the town of Thornbury. He quickly left his house, the guitar not failing to be strapped to the man's leather-coated back. The man hurriedly moved towards the stables, to go see his animal friends, Axel and Vox. He trotted along to the stables, and to his surprise (even though it shouldn't have been) he had seen Shawchert there, patching up some holes. Mars looked to his Alpha, this being one of the first times Mars had run into the Alpha. Good afternoon Shawchert, need help with anything? the man figured since he was here he might as well offer himself. Plus, he had been prepared mentally to be used to help the pack, so it didn't matter much to him. Mars moved over to the right of the giant that was Shawchert, and he casted his icy steel gaze to where Vox and Axel would be gated in. He saw the two beasts, waiting towards the gate, probably wanting to be out. Mars ignored them for a moment and awaited his Alpha's answer.

WC: 312 OOC: Stupid shaw got all icky mushy brained, ; ; forgive me!!!


In Character

He was keeping his thoughts in tune with two things, getting the stables satisfactory and Sky. She’d been on his mind for some time now, and he was trying to find out how to ask her to be his mate, officially, but her circumstances were not the normal wolf way. She wanted it to be done the human way. The thing was… he had no idea about the human traditions. He rarely thought about humans much less what they use to do in the past. They were wolves and humans had found their destruction. Shaw didn’t think it was the best idea to follow in those footsteps, but what could it hurt to do one small tradition their way to make Sky happy? He hammered some more when he heard the greeting that a not so familiar voice gave him. Shawchert stopped and turned around to see Mars, he smiled at the man’s offer.

Hello Mars, actually a little help would be appreciated, I’m just covering up some of the damage the storm made.

He said to Mars pointing to the planks of wood waiting to go up onto the building itself. Much of the damage had been worked out enough so that the horses could move in again soon. The doors had been fixed already but the walls and the roof still needed work before they could house the horses in it again.

If you want to help steady the board, or you can find another hammer, I think I had one somewhere you can work on one yourself? Either way help would be greatly appreciated!

He said, yes he loved his pack for their ability to want to help and to actually work at being helpful. They were a diverse team in Shawchert’s mind and he loved it, just as he loved the team they were when they had celebrations.

Mars did not wear a grin, nor an actor's smile. He stood there with an unemotional line on his face as he looked to his leader. There was some bitterness for the Alpha, only if it was because the man had been "with" his only friend, and not only that, but she was pregnant because of it. In a way, it made Mars sick to the stomach knowing that Orin was carrying his pups. Why it made Mars' stomach knot was over Mars' head, that Mars just couldn't see why he was so internally grieving over it. It shouldn't have been his business. He shouldn't have been concerned with the fact that his own alpha had no self control when it came to doing the dirty with a pack mate that he held no other feelings for. Mars was also disgusted at Orin for letting it happen in the first place. You could say that the man was just disgusted by the whole ordeal, and now, Orin and Shawchert would have to pay the price with little midgets running around at their feet. Maybe they would like having pups. Mars couldn't imagine himself ever with children, and he often times failed to get in the mood to mate with someone. He didn't know what Bartholomew was like when it came to mating, or children, but if Mars had children at some point, he would know for sure that it was not his fault.

So his alpha greeted the musician and Mars simply nodded his head. He did not utter a word, nor did he return the smile his alpha gave him. It didn't take the other long to tell him what to do either, and Mars was quick to get himself a plank of wood and then he had looked around for an extra hammer. He found a few nails while he looked around,and he had picked those up, and continued on his hunt until he found one and he returned quickly to the barn and he moved over to where there had been another hole waiting there for him to patch up. He didn't speak still, for he was a quiet man. He had been taught to be like this, and it was not uncommon for him to be like this until someone actually talked to him about something. Mars positioned the board to where it needed to be and he took a nail from his pocket and he had started to hammer in the nail. At least Mars would be learning to do something.

Shaw couldn’t help but get a bad vibe about the man that was near him, and it confused him. Mars seemed like a nice man, though quite aloof, but had Shaw done something wrong that Mars didn’t like? He didn’t know who the man knew around here, but his guess was probably the incident with Orin… yes a mistake that he wasn’t sure he wouldn’t repeat, after all new life was always something welcome, and if he’d been doing what his ancestors did all along, then he had all the rights, the thought was chased away though, why would Mars be angry at him about that? Paranoid, was what Shaw thought as he skillfully hammered the nails into the board he had up.

I see you are settling in quite well here, I hope it’s to your liking. What is it that you are seeking to improve… if that’s why you are here of course.

Shawchert asked, his tone friendly. He knew his pack was full of performers, artists of all kinds that came here to improve on their talents. Though there was one so far that had no such talents, and she was here due to issues. He hoped she would stay a bit longer than to raise her pups but he didn’t know, especially when Ouija was even more aloof than Mars was. He kept his mouth shut waiting for a response from the other male. He wanted to get to know his members more, he didn’t like not knowing much about them. He wasn’t going to force anything from anyone though. He finished one and went to grab another one but watched Mars for a second before starting again, he seemed to know what he was doing, so it wasn’t as though Shawchert had to go through the whole process with the bi colored man.
