Strangers Like Me (Alu/Riss) - Reath - May 02, 2018
(Ooc: Not sure if I'm suppose to put this here but this is an rp between my character Reath and Alu (Riss) while Sveyn is visiting Gimini to form a possible alliance.)
The small silver dire pup stirred in the dark confines of the den that the 'King' of Gemini had so graciously allowed the traveling pair to stay in; while the proceedings were being worked out between Sveyn and the adults on the alliance that was being offered. It was also to give the pups sore paws time to heal before their trek back to Sveyns home; Bacchus. Sveyn didn't want Reath to attend the meetings since the pup would more than likely loose interest and cause a scene out of boredom or fall asleep. So that left Reath to his own devices within the den that he had previously fallen asleep in. The pup turned over and huffed as his conciousness was slowly coming back into reality and sadly Reath had no say in this matter. Which was completely unfair seeing as he would only lay awake alone and unable to do anything. Plus Sveyn had told him not to leave the den until he returned but there was a whole new world outside just waiting to be explored and sure his paws were still tender but he could walk and he was determined to get out of here today.
Bright blue eyes scanned the area to make sure that no adults would stop him from having some fun. A smile of victory lit up his face as he saw that the coast was clear and he proceeded to sneak out further into the territory. He had never seen a 'sea' before and he wanted to get a look of one before they left and he was sure that Sveyn, the overcaring big brother he was, would sit on him to make sure that he never left that den until the day of their departure. That was not what the little spit fire wanted though. White paws stepped lightly over twigs and stones that might make any noise and alert someone to his presence. He pointed head up to the air and took in a big snort of air only to cough continuously for about a minute before trying it again and, this time, he did it slowly. Taking all the scents in the air. Don't blame him he was still new to this sniffing business. He was overrun by a wide variety of smells but one that stood out the most was a very stale smell that carried a distinct scent that he couldn't place. Perhaps this was the smell of the sea?
Eager to get his little exploration expidition underway he bolted after the smell. So focused on getting there as quickly as possible he ended up not focusing on what was infront of him. Until it was too late. He knew he would never be able to put on the brakes and he did the only thing he could do when he saw a white figure suddenly pop out infront of him....he ran into the bushes. A blur of silver flashed by the stranger as he took a hard left into the closest bushes before he letting out a yelp of suprise when his world was suddenly turned upside down. His stop was sudden and hard. The pup grunted as he tried to get up only to find that he was stuck. His face distorted into a grimance as he strained against his prison which was actually a hole in the tree he had ran into. A variety of grunts and groans escaped him as he struggled to escape the trees grasp on him. Sighing he relented and called out, "Hey is anyone out there," he hollard, "I'm stuck please help." Tiny ears twiched as he heard noises approaching him and he could only pray that it wasn't a scary monster.....or Sveyn...that would be bad.
