S.a.V.e ]M[]E[

[ariana]

A smile crept up on her white-and silver facade, her toungue lolled lazily to the side, and her eyes where fixed to the large, rundown, lodge.Gentle huffs of breath escaped from her maw, and the sun beat down, bouncing playfully of this femmora's fur.A yawn sliced through the air, and showed ivory teeth. She looked around, her eyes twitching from side to side, making sure there was no hostile glare towards her.

Again, she lifted her head to the heavens, and sang.Her call ended, and all she could do was wait for the handsome brute named Darthyn to appear. She sighed, and lay down, resting her head on her paws. A butterfly fluttered by, floating on the breeze. She watched as it cicrled and landed gently on her nose. She opened her eyes wide and...

CHOO!

She looked around embarrased, and to her horror, she saw a wolf approaching.

[Maybe ♫]

Darthyn chuclkled amusedly as the strange new femmora sneezed, then tilted his head as she began to look dejected. "Bless you," he breathed.

"Welcome to the Lodge, I don't believe we've met. I'm Darthyn, alpha." He added that last bit to clear up any confusion she may have as to who he was. Not that he was arrogant about his rank or anything... Well not too arrogant.

ooc // Sorry, excuse the crappiness. I really hate joining threads, it's nothing personal.

[ariana]

Oh, those stories she'd heard were right. Darthyn was handsome, but that just made it all the more embarassing to sneeze in front of him."I am Ariana." she woofed, struggling to not stutter. She managed to hide her nervousnedd expertly, and stood with her head high, but not high to where she was challenging the alpha.

*Sorry about my inactiveness... and the short post. I've been Rping all day...*

[Maybe ♫]

He lifted a brow at her blunt introduction and tilted his head slightly at her words. He eyed her, brow furrowed as he tried to read her expression.

"Very well, shall we spar? See if you're pack material?" The devilishly handsome brute grinned. He hadn't sparred in a while.

ooc // Don't apologize, I HATE joining threads and I do very short posts.

[ariana]

She contemplated the thought. 'Spar? What!? Fine...'
She almost purred at the though of showing off, but then again, dogs can't purr. Especially wolf-dogs. It came out as a low, almost inaudible growl. She wagged her tail in a 'yes' and waited a moment to make sure he got the message. She stood there, as if she was waiting for him to attack first, before leaping, but not towards him. At the peak of her jump, she thrashed her hind legs and twisted slightly to the right, aiming straight at him. She often did this so that her enemies would take it like she would miss, making them stay in place. Then, by the time most dogs realized her thrashing was making her turn, she was already on them.

[Maybe ♫]

Darthyn watched in awe as she spun midair; he stayed rooted to the spot, lifting a brow in confusion. "What are you d--" OOF! The air was knocked out of him as the lithe female slammed him in the ribcage, sending him flying backwards a few feet. Shaking his head, he let a low growl rumble within his chest, and he lunged forward, aiming to hurtle his massive form into her side.

[ariana]

She smiled. Perfect hit. She saw him coming and darted out of the way, but as her skidded to a halt on the ground, he landed on her tail and tore a large chunk of fur from it. "AUGH!" she yelped, skirting away. She saw the same butterfly that had made her sneeze and began chasing it around, another tactic. As soon and she seemed to fixated on the bug, and whipped around and clamped her jowls on Darthyn's tail and began flailing wildly, tugging on his tail and delivering scratches that weren't dangerous, but enough the peel some skin and make it sting. She let go and threw her bodice to the ground, panting. As soon as she realized it wasn't over, she got back up, gulping in air like water, her tongue flailing in a lapping motion.She waited for his attack,her muscles sore, and her right front leg sore from pulling a muscle.

[Noodle!]

<sub>Rico stretched lazily, rolling out of his bed of lichen and straw. His small nose twitched slightly as he picked up the scent of a new female. Tail wagging, he stood and shook his fur so it was more fluffy. That was one thing about sleeping in the day, you always woke up with bed-fur. No female liked bed-fur. He smoothed himself out, chewing off some fleas, and then started out the door of the Hollow. He sighed once again, shaking as he stretched, and he realized that Darthyn was already handling the situation. Well, no harm in dropping in for a nice hello.

His body shook with stretches as he walked outside of the hollow to greet Darthyn and the newcomer, wherever they were at the moment. His eyes were closed due to such a large grin. This day was perfect, spectacular! The sun beat down with a warm radiance, smothering him in a friendly embrace. It baked his reddish fur as it it would tan him. Tail wagged violently, backside slinging from side to side as he walked along after the scents. Absolutely nothing could ruin this wonderfully perfect...¡Jesús! He yelped. A husky-looking female was attacking Darthyn and the two were duking it out right here in the pack territory. His eyes were wide in shock as he began yapping barks at the group and then threw out a swear, ¡Ay mierda! Hang on, Darthyn! I'm coming! With a Spanish cry he launched himself forward.

The long-haired toy dog pushed himself between the two, sending up a fury of barks and growls at the female. His small rows of teeth were visible, not very threatening as they were only the size of small gauged needles. Back down if you value your life, senorita! He growled, fur ruffled up as he defended the much larger dog.

((Ari told me it would be amusing for Rico to jump in. Hope you don’t mind, Maybe ^-^ Sorry it is so short, Ari, I had to retype it, remember? >.<))</sub>

[ariana]

She chuckled as the rat-dog appeared, and swiped at him with her massive wolf-dog paw. She purposely missed, and limped over to him her sly smile wiping across her facade. She crouched, her nose touching his. "Little pup, we're st sparing. I plane on joining." She woofed. Then with a playful shove, she knocked the little Chihuahua to the ground.

[Maybe ♫]

Darthyn, amused by the female's unique fighting tactics, nodded to Rico, but he was too out of breath to agree verbally. In a split second, he lunged for her leg, the one that she had already weakened, his jaws wide open in an attempt to grab it. He winced, his tail and mid section still throbbing dully, but he pushed it to the back of his mind, focusing only on delivering the winning bite.

[ariana]

A yelp pierced the sunny sky, and Ariana whipped around, her paw now bleeding. With air heaving heavily through her nostrils, and leaped, and eyes closing and teeth bared for a split second. She managed to bit his ear and deliver a shallow scratch to his flank. She collapsed over on her side.
That tail-bite move? I normally aim for the head, but...
She sucked in air, but that wasn't the only reason she stopped. She almost blurted out her reason for not wanted to hurt him.
...Killing the alpha definantly won't help me along in the pack.
she lied. However, her tone of voice was believable. With eyes that begged for no more fighting, yet showed readiness to defend, she stared at the alpha.

((OOC; TEH SUSPENSE!!! ))

[Maybe ♫]

Massive jaws parted with a loud yelp, but the alpha snarled and whipped around, facing her full on. His golden eyes blazed with the fury of battle, and a small rift has been ripped in his ear, which was now bleeding heavily. As the blood trickled down his temple, he breathed deeply, feeling his heart banging against his ribcage as if it were trying to break free from its boney prison.

"No, I don't think it would," he managed to utter, although a certain aspect of his demeanor had changed. He looked her up and down, a beautiful wolf and a formidable battle opponent, although Darthyn knew he could easily dispatch her if she were an enemy. "And I can't be injuring my newest warrior, can I?" He smiled, knowing that the fight was over.

"Usually new members don't become warriors until they have earned my trust and respect, and you, Ariana, have won both of those today." He nodded, padding up to her slowly and dipping his head respectfully. "You should go see Molly, the healer. She knows all sorts of herbs and whatnot that can help that gash in your leg. I'll accompany you, this torn up ear will need seeing to." Nodding again, he heaved his body forward and set off at a brisk pace, as if the fight had never occurred.

"Well fought, by the way."

[ariana]

A warrior? Already? She glowed with pride and nodded, begging to follow the leader. She had to fight to not keep her tail higher than Darthyns. With a low woof of joy, she bounced happily after him.Her smile disappeared as a low growl sounded.Her eyes widened. She was hungry. With a sniff, she located Marigold

.

"Uh, can we eat? I know of an herb that can help us until after we eat."

she woofed, already beginning to pad towards the bushes, towards the junkyard. Without waiting for a reply, she bounded off, her run speeding and slowing, and speeding and slowing, her leg causing this.
