Desired Tier: Courtier

Canine NPC: Nope

Non-Canine NPC: Two horses; Damini and Buck.

Moving, changing things around and trying to find his place in the world all over again was a daunting, terrifying prospect; the lad had desperately hopped to establish things and grasp control of his future on his own with the Cavalieri's and the result had been nothing more then him sulking around the territory, loosing weight and falling into a spell of depression, cutting himself off from the world until the red head man had stubbornly forced his way back into his life despite being told to go away. Strel baffled him, like many adults did; he couldn't get a rise out of the red head nor hold any argument with him, as he had recently learned. Nor did he understand really why his uncle wouldn't just leave him alone, going as far as to take the young Nishant under his wing.

Glancing around the room he had called his own, if only for a short time, It now looked foreign to him, stripped of all his belongings and little nick knacks it became apparent that the space was quite literally what it's name depicted it to be: just a room. Leaving it wasn't nearly as hard as he thought it would be, the pumice male turned shut the door behind him and shrugged the last bag of his stuff over his shoulder, moving out to the stables to collect both Buck and Damini who already bore the rest of his stuff; Buck he'd tacked up and intended to ride over to his uncles pack, whilst Damini bared the majority of the luggage.

Running his hand over each horse he led the pair out of the stables, mounting up onto Buck he urged the stallion onwards, Damini following behind without making a scene. Keeping the pace brisk he they made quick progress over to the borders he sought out, although truthfully there wasn't that much ground to cover as there had been in his last relocation. Tugging gently upon the reigns he waited for the stallion to fall relatively still before dismounting, positioning himself between the mare and Buck, a hand upon each one's reigns.

So far things had been somewhat easy, now all he had to do was call to let his uncle know he was finally there. Breath caught in his throat and he fell silent, standing anchored to his spot staring numbly into the foreign lands. Was this really what he wanted? It wasn't as if he had anywhere else to go or anyone else to be with, the baggy jumper covering him was testimony enough that continuing his prior lifestyle wasn't going to work and the fact that he was covering his body simply indicated that Strel's words had gotten to him a little.

Resigned, he called out to his uncle and waited anxiously to see if his summons would be answered. Letting go of Buck's reigns he re-positioned the worn jumper that hung loosely on him, trying to make it so it didn't reveal the skinny body beneath it.

He heard the cry, familiar to him despite never truly hearing the boy call to him. It sounded like him, or perhaps it was simply his imagination and his hopefulness. Half of him was sure that Ahiga was going to show up. The other half was exceptionally negative, thinking, knowing that the boy was not going to listen to him. He had absolutely no reason to listen to his once upon a time uncle. He was a stranger, a man who showed up and ordered him out of his home in Casa. He had come to get him away from a man unfit for a relationship, and he could not expect that the boy would listen to him at all. He would never listen to a man who had come to do the same to him, especially at an age akin to Ahiga. But when he heard the call for him, the Dauphin felt his heart race. Had the boy actually listened to him?


He left off what he was doing, cleaning off a rabbit skin in the kitchen of the Hotel. He wished that the kitchen had windows, but there was only the windows opening up to the empty ballroom. No air permeated through the hotel, except for members lucky enough to open windows. The few doors open in the ballroom barely coaxed a breeze. Strel gazed out at the empty ballroom, the dusty floor and furrowed his brows at it. Then he glanced down to the blood coating his fingers and the dead hare laying on the recently cleaned counter top. It was skinless and the fur no longer on its body was matted with the dried blood. It would have to wait until later, but at least the creature was gutted and it's organs laying discretely near the fence and behind a tree, covered by dried leaves. It was what he named a compost heap. Right now it was just a pile of dead material from the animals he had caught and reeked, but at least it was out of sight.


A bucket full of fresh water stood outside the hotel, and the Dauphin drenched his hands in the water, turning it a red-pink. He had hoped to washed the pelt and set it trying, tanning, in the sun with the others. He had caught himself fat hares, a fantastic haul for a man who barely hunted for himself. There were three other rabbit skins hanging to dry in the sun, though he was sure once he'd dried them he'd just give the rest to Niro. He knew nothing about tanning hide and left it to the professional. The smell of the uncooked meat hung onto him, and he wrinkled his forehead at it, choosing to rush to the border rather than scrub away the scent in a nearby river. It was just faster this way, and he was sure that Ahiga would be hungry.


He came to the border, and saw the boy with all his things about him. Two horses? He thought he had only one. Though glancing at one of the horses showed that Ahiga had not traveled lightly, and all his things seemed bundled on that horse's back. "So you did show up. I figured you'd run away, just to spite me." Strel smiled serenely, smugly almost.

Word Count :: 426 Grumpy guts xD

Shuffling around upon the spot he waited with great impatience, growing quickly bored the idea to run, leave and go elsewhere began to grow more and more tempting; not that the idea to simply up and leave hadn't occurred to him before that moment, the option had always been there, he could go to Ayasha even if they weren't on the best of terms currently, become a loner or seek out the unknown packs. If he really wanted to he knew he could simply disappear and cut all ties to the red hair male and the fact he stood there waiting for his uncle, who wasn't really his uncle any more, spoke more then anything. Exactly when he'd decided to let Strel back into his life was kinda vague, perhaps when he and the male had last argued upon Cavalier borders or somewhere along his travels to his uncles pack, maybe even earlier.

He was there now and no longer could he lie to himself that in a small corner within himself he was glad that someone hadn't given up on him, that someone was reaching out to him finally. From the lads apprehension Damini grew restless, fidgeting around and not willing to settle down which was never a good sign, the mare was a tyrant at times and easily distressed which was why he rarely took her out or did much with her aside from looking after her. Under the right guidance her behaviour issues may have been worked out, allowing for her to be ridden or have some purpose but the boy didn't see it necessary, the mare was as she was and he wasn't particularly inclined to change her any time soon.

Grasping Damini's reigns a fraction tighter he stared out into the foreign lands, willing his uncle to hurry from wherever he was. Relief filling him at the familiar figure that made his way towards the lad and horses in due time, his grip upon the mare's reigns relaxed a small amount as he she her a cautious look before turning his attention fully upon Strel, frowning instantly at the male's words. “I can leave now if that's what you want?” his voice came out clipped, sharp with the offence he had taken from the others accusation. “As much as i'd love to spite you, i've heard it's bad to make the elderly wonder around and worry much” a dry laugh accompanied his words, the young Nishant quickly questioning why exactly he had decided to … agree to live with this man.

he's just a cranky little boy.
wordcount ► 443

Already they were off to a beautiful start. Strel could barely contain his smirk, though he was definitely hitting himself a bit for starting something already. He couldn't help it; his mouth had always been the thing that ran off without his say so, and it kept on getting him in trouble now. He was not terribly proud of it, but he was who he was and his mouth had a mind of its own. Regardless, he kept his mouth shut on his mild case of guilt, keeping his lavender eyes on the grey youth. "No, no. I'll stop," he said with a lopsided grin, putting up his hands in defeat.


Ahiga called him old, and laughed in his face. It struck a small chord in him, but he bit back his retort at the foolishness of youth, choosing instead to (probably) infuriate Ahiga further by laughing at his comment. "You really shouldn't worry us, we might just worry ourselves to death. I know I would definitely die, though honestly, what worse can you do to yourself?" He shook his head at the boy, suddenly peering at the shirt that hung on him. It seemed loose, but it could just as easily have been a good shirt he found that happened to fit poorly. But there was no point disguising the loss of body weight, but at least it was less heartbreaking to see. "Have you eaten since I last saw you?" questioned the Dauphin critically, his gaze traveling from the boy's covered belly to his eyes once more. "Come, we can take you to the Hotel and get your horses to the stables. You look like you need food, and I have some meat waiting." He was not quite sure if the boy liked his raw or cooked, though Strel was not so picky. There was no question of whether or not Ahiga was going to be staying in some remote place, not when he had clearly been out of the loop in Casa. No, Strel had to make sure that the boy actually took care of himself, or force him to take care of himself.


"Do you prefer your meat cooked or bloody?" he asked, choosing to begin to lead the boy to the Hotel, knowing that he would follow if he had come out all this way. Surely he would not turn tail and run now, not when it was clear the Dauphin expected Ahiga to follow. It was definitely good to have something important to do, even if it was taking care of his once nephew. Better than sitting and drinking all day.

He wanted to hit that lopsided grin. Badly and hard. Right in the middle of that grinning face. It irked him to know that he had so easily allowed for the red-head to get under his skin so quickly and get a rise out of him, the other clearly enjoying even if he was waving his hands out in defeat. Narrowing his eyes he settled for glaring suspiciously at Strel rather then voicing his thoughts; a rare show of maturity from the lad who had yet to master the skill of holding his tongue. Stepping closer to Damini he listened to his ex-uncle's response to his given insult, although truthfully the Nishant called everyone older then him 'old, grandpa' or anything along such lines without much thought, not from an intended insult of any kind.

Puffing his cheeks out a little he crossed thinning arms over his chest, muscles along his maw growing tense as he held back his anger. Of all the things, he'd left his home and come to this foreign pack upon this males request to be insulted and then laughed at and he was stood there taking it. “Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up and try not to die of a heart attack grandpa.” breathing out heavily through his nose he snorted his disgust at his elders behaviour, trying his up-most best to play the part of the bigger and more mature part.

“Will you stop sticking your nose in my business already. I've eaten, nosy git” he spat out, Damini startling slightly at the rise in his voice, pale hands instantly running over the mares neck to reassure her. Honestly he'd tried to eat some, but after having eaten so little for so long his stomach hadn't agreed and it seemed to do more damage then good to start eating more, as was the conclusion the lad had reached with little to know knowledge in medicine.

Trailing behind his uncle he followed in a sulking manner, eyes fixed on the ground even as he lead the two horses, opting for silence rather then granting the other an response of which he could laugh at. Although when he was asked for his preference he shrugged his shoulders quickly, “Not fussed. Meat is meat; whether it's cooked or bloody it's still just a dead animal” pausing he looked up to the other, opening his mouth to speak and closing it, repeating the action twice before he found the words he wanted to voice. “How far to this hotel?”

He snorted, knowing fully well that he would not die of a heart attack any time soon. Last he remembered, his heart had been plenty fine during strenuous work. Though, for him, his strenuous work was rather different than what most people would consider strenuous. He gave a secret smile at the thought, and kept the memories to himself. They hurt when he thought about them, so perhaps it was best that Ahiga not hear him say it. After all, his last lover was his biological uncle. What a disturbing thought to have, and a mental image that was not fit for anyone's younger family. "I'll die of a heart attack much later than you will of starvation."


Perhaps Niro had the right of it. The young always thought they had to rebel against everything that the elder generations did. Ahiga certainly seemed to hate every other word that happened to pop out of the Dauphin's mouth. Not that he could really blame him but it was going to get old fast if every bit of advice was going to be spat back at him as unnecessary. One day Ahiga would realize that he was full of bad memories and equally terrible experiences. And all of those terrible memories gave him the wisdom to advise, though his future experiences would probably be so much worse than what he had encountered.


"Sure you have. When was it? Three days ago?" he asked seriously, his voice low and his lips pursed in a frown. Ahiga couldn't see it but he sure better hear the bitterness tainting his words. "I have some meat waiting at the Hotel, and I expect you to eat some of it." He was not medicine-savvy but he knew that the boy would have to reintroduce the food into his system. Maybe they could find a cook who knew the difference between light and heavy food. Surely light meals would work wonders. "It's not far. Though, if you'd like, we can find you a hut in the woods. You seem to like.. Privacy," he added, hesitantly. He was not sure if he liked Ahiga being far from him, especially with his worries for the boy.

Self consciously his arms rose and folded across his stomach like a child trying to hide the evidence of the destruction he had caused. Not the least put off by Strel's instant doubt in the matter of whether he'd eaten or not he kept both his head and eye level as steady as he could, smiling in a somewhat secretive matter. “Perhaps” was all he said; he'd let the red-head ponder and squirm over whether he was eating or not as punishment for being all to nosy... at least, he'd try to make him squirm, since nothing ever seemed to go to plan when his ex-uncle was involved he didn't get his hopes up.. to much. Lifting his shoulders he shrugged in a semi-sulking manner at the mention of meat and the expectation he eat a portion of it. The thought of eating made his stomach ache and the memories of throwing up came back at him strongly with great force, the desire to heave was there even though he knew that there was nothing within him to make a re-appearance.

Trailing behind like a whipped puppy his steps faltered when there was mention of having a hut in the woods. Was he not wanted in the hotel? Already too much of a burden? Rationally he could see the thoughts stemmed from lack of self confidence but there seemed to be some truth in them. He'd made a point to go against Stel wherever he could, arguing with him, insulting him. Here was Stel's pack and it wouldn't look good upon his ex-uncle if the rest of the pack saw his behaviour and state. Perhaps it was best he was hidden away and settled into solitude again, even if he wanted to cling onto the kindness the other had so far showed him despite everything he'd done to push it away. “I don't want to” each word was breathed out silently, the lad freezing as soon as he realised he'd voiced his opinion aloud and he wanted to flee like a corner animal, eyes wide and panic filled.

Strel crossed his arms across his chest and shook his head ta the boy's smile. He was trying to be snarky with him, and it was simply not going to work. "Perhaps isn't good enough for me, boy." He was glad that he had food on hand, since he really needed to get some shoved down this boy's throat soon. He was going to have to be careful with him though, since Ahiga seemed like a terribly temperamental youth. Strel was not careful and his tact left something to be desired. He excelled at being nosy and a busybody, but he was not one to be comforting and sweet. It was easiest to drink away his problems and avoid talking to anyone else about theirs. It just.. made everything a lot simpler. "We'll see if there's anything you want now, maybe talk to someone medicine savvy for what we can do to get you some more weight. Too skinny for your bones."


The Dauphin paused, wondering why his nephew had frozen. He turned on his heels and stared at the youth. He had caught his words and was confused. Did Ahiga mean that he did not want to go to the Hotel, or that he did not want to be alone? Strel looked at the boy, furrowing his brows in confusion. "What don't you want to, Ahiga?" he asked gently, hoping to coax the information out of him. If he had come this far, surely he would be in a more willing mood to divulge personal things. Not that Strel would blame him for keeping things in. He had been alone for a long time. But so had he, hadn't he?


It was high time for the two of them to get over their problems, especially with each other. They had the same issues, so why couldn't they work together to fix this? Couldn't they? Strel would just bite the bullet and try his hardest to do it, even if Ahiga didn't want it. God damn it, he would try even if it killed the both of them.
