(OC: Permission given by Akante to put up this thread.)
The sun was slowly rising to the brindle wolf's back. Its subtle warmth on her fur brought a silence sense of warth she welcomed. Those thick paws gracefully padded through the wet mud that decided to cake itself on her feet, between her paw pads causing her to sneer. God'amn fuckin shit... she thought while her jowls curled at the annoyance of it. Those bright blue eyes glancing down at her lifted paw. A soft huff escaped her as she continued forward; experienced eyes studying her surroundings.The shadows were shifting now with the coming of daylight and it caused the wet green to glisten from the moisture.
Anna lowered her nose to the dryer ground and sniffed it casually; taking in the scent of what lingered here. A pack of some kind no doubt, Anna wasn't really surprised. The marshlands seemed to be crawling with them, couldn't just walk anywhere. It sure as hell seemed as if every piece of land had to be claimed by some group of one fuckin thing or another. If ya stepped too far in the wrong spot a hundred of them bastards would be on ya like a fly on a god damn pile of shit. Anna huffed casually, she could surely handle her own no doubt but not a hundred of em! The brindle colored beast had no real intention to cross any forbidden boundaries and get her ass mauled, oh yeah that is exactly what she fuckin needed.
Ultimately though the female wanted a place to go and call home, she had been traveling most of her life. And she wasn't sure why but she never had any real desire to have relationships. Maybe it was some sort of inner turmoil shit some pansy ass fuckin hippy would bring up. Ah well, what ever it was she would admit to herself at least that she was feeling a tad lonely. And she was now paying the price for her chosen nomadic solitude. Her grandfather and mother had taught her combat and she had mastered those skills though that bitch... that monster Ragnarok got the best of them all. If she was ever able to get her revenge... but she wasn't going to live her life based solely on that. For a while she thought about it but now it didn't matter, not that she wouldn't accept an opprotunity that came her way of course.
"Ah what the hell..." she muttered and drew her head back and released a low beckoning howl.
Shark said:
[Alrighty, I'm gonna have Shark and Weiss take this. Weiss will post after me so wait for her please?]
It seemed Shark was moving up in the world, even if it was just his own little world, he seemed to be moving up none the less. He now had a posse, yes it consisted of a very timid, and emotion wrecked girl, but hell, he had one. It was time for her to learn the ropes, this way he wouldn't be so swamped with taking every single thing that popped up. He had risen early in the morning to get a fresh start with her, or maybe it was to woo her with watching the sunrise, I'll leave that up to you, but after the sun rise, it was back to business.
Shark padded along the borders, pointing out each marker along the way carefully, and gently to the girl. "And this is the northeast corner of our borders. You see it's not too hard." He gave Weiss one of his lady killing smiles, before urging her to lead them on, "Now, you go ahead and find our way back down to the southeast corner." Urging her, asking her to build some confidence, anything really. Before she could start off though, a low beckoning howl broke the stale morning air. And here we go. Shark growled to himself, turning to Weiss he gave her an apologetic, (genuine fake) smile, "Or not." He then tossed his head in the direction of the howl, motioning for her to follow him.
When Weiss did follow, Shark padded slowly so she could keep up, he had all day to get to this acceptance, and he might as well do his best to earn more trust with the girl as he did so. "All right Weiss, since this is your first one, all I want you to do is hang back and watch. Don't speak unless I give you the go ahead ok?" Shark sounded as sincere as possible, acting worried about her health if something were to break loose.
A few more minutes and they had arrived to the spot where a huge ass wolf was. Though Shark was a bit intimidated by the look of her, -sniff-, yup, her, he didn't let it show, this was his place anyway, he'd have back up if he needed it in seconds-- hopefully. Shark turned slightly a few meters away from her, talking to Weiss, "Stay." This command was a genuine fear for the girl, though he didn't really care for her in that way, it would be on him if she got mauled by this behemoth. Walking away from Weiss now, and directing his words to the female at the border, "You here for acceptance?" Jesus christ this girl was big. "What's your name?" Shark was still a little perplexed at how much muscle this female had, but he had his skills also in the art of fighting, but he was more a lover then a fighter, perhaps he could work something out?

Weiss was ecstatic! She had been accepted, and even taken under the wing of one of her pack members. She had barely managed to get herself to sleep last night but it had happened and she was woken by Shark rather early the next day. She didn't complain at being made to wake at such an early hour, and she enjoyed watching the rise of the blazing sun crest over the trees. It had been nice, and she had enjoyed doing it. She just hoped she had more days like this.
After the sun had risen Shark had set them off on a course around the borders. The lithe female had seen this as an amazing opportunity, and she happily followed like a loyal servant. From what Shark had told her she was going to need to follow what he told her to do, and she was more than okay with that. She watched him point out each landmark till they were at the last one. "And this is the northeast corner of our borders. You see it's not too hard. He smiled at her and she once again felt her heart dancing in her chest. She had still yet to get over what his words and smiles would do to her; not that she minded to much. "Yeah, this isn't to hard to remember. I think I got it all."
"Now, you go ahead and find our way back down to the southeast corner." Weiss nodded and gave one of her smiles that seemed to be showing up more and more since she had arrived at El Dorado. She was about to start leading the way back when a low howl danced it's way through her eardrums. Her eyes went somewhat wide, and her ears perked as she turned to Shark as to what they were going to do. She saw he was giving her an apologetic smile and she couldn't help but smile back as he spoke. "Or not." And with that he started walking off, and she made sure to take off after him, sticking close but not to bad.
"All right Weiss, since this is your first one, all I want you to do is hang back and watch. Don't speak unless I give you the go ahead ok?" She watched his back as he spoke and nodded, before she remembered he couldn't see her and spoke up. "Right, I'll stay out of the way as best I can unless you need me for something." She said in her soft timid tone as they continued on.
When they arrived to where the howl had originated from Weiss could feel her body tense up slightly as she looked at the massive wolf in front of her. Sweet lord they were huge! Her mind screamed as her eyes racked over the hulking figure. "Stay." She heard Shark say and he twisted her attention back to him and she nodded mutely, making sure not to speak just as she had been told. Weiss thought about sitting as Shark headed towards the large wolf, but decided against it just in case she was needed. "You here for acceptance?" She heard Shark say from her spot and she swallowed the lump in her throat as she watched the scene with wide eyes, and tensed muscles. 'What's you name?"
And so it began...
Anna. said:
"You here for acceptance? What's your name?"
Those intense, serious, almost dismissive blue eyes stared at the multi-gray wolf and raised her brows to study him casually. "I am, I guess if this is the pack I'm lookin for" she answered in a low, cool voice her general dominate, tense posture never shifting. "I'm Anna" she responded and gave a faint shrug of her muscular shoulders. "I take it ya be the one who's gonna see if I fit ya criteria?" She asked as if this was routine and almost soldier-like sat upon her haunches staring the male who spoke to her. The beast was neither one to show submissiveness nor did she throw aggression their way; instead she simply was. Anna shifted her hulking multi-colored head and glanced at Weiss who stayed back, were they scared? Anna almost smirked knowing well her size tended to make others uneasy, though it wasn't like she could relate to them in that way.
"Pardon" she said abruptly with her almost soft drawl "I'm guessin that leads me to my question" Of course Anna wasn't trying to be disrespectful or anything. "I'm kinda new the marshes" she glanced around casually "I'm not all too familiar with the places yet. I'm lookin for a pack called.. Dorrado...?" She frowned having no idea if she even said it right "shit" she said abruptly; annoyed with herself because probably fucked the name of the place up. She wasn't good at this god'amn shit! Anna quickly cleared her throat and the monster of a wolf tilted her head "would that be correct?" Everything tended to be official for Anna when she wasn't cursing up a freaking storm anyway, there was no play in her world. There was never a casual day or a moment where she could truly and absolutely relax. Not since that day when she witnessed the death of her family by that bitch... "if so" she began "I wanna join this place'ere. I apologize I s'pose since I'm not all too good talking with others or well... not really that social." The brindle wolf admitted and was surprised at herself for not throwing out a good F word out loud during this whole situation, thus far. Damn, she probably looked like a fucking idiot. She hated these social things.
Shark said:
Weiss gave him her utmost trust, and he would at least try to make sure she would stay out of harms way for the most part, should this she-wolf here decide to start something unkind. Sure enough she had hanged back as he had told her, staring at this hulking thing as he had done before. His orange eyes swept over her momentarily as she stood at the border, she had a stunning coat, and brilliant colors-- dammit Shark, pay attention.
"I am, I guess if this is the pack I'm looking for. I'm Anna"
Anna. What a casual, feminine name for such a- brutish femme. Shoulders shrugged as she continued.
"I take it ya be the one who's gonna see if I fit ya criteria?"
Well she certainly knew the routine. "Aye, that'd be me. Name's Shark." He decided to play it safe with this one, not deciding to be snarky or sarcastic. No this one needed to be a careful acceptance, he'd play it cool if she would. He hoped to all god this didn't turn on him.
"Pardon. I'm guessin that leads me to my question"
Excuse me? Shark had to narrow his eyes to prevent them from widening them from awe. Not once had he ever come across something as big as this, saying' 'pardon', or use any form of mannerisms. Though, he couldn't help but approve of this opposed to the other option. "Question?" He said it almost as if he questioned her questioning. This was proving to be interesting.
"I'm kinda new the marshes. I'm not all too familiar with the places yet. I'm lookin for a pack called.. Dorrado...?"
There was an urge to laugh, but he really wanted to keep his face in it's current position, so he decided to not laugh, instead he cleared his throat, "El Dorado, maybe?" He corrected, he didn't come off as arrogant, or cocky, just someone genuinely correcting a mistake by a young child.
"shit, would that be correct?"
Shark shrugged, and decided it would be safe enough to sit since the larger femme had. "Close enough I suppose." His orange orbs proceeded to sweep over her, looking at her fur, her outer being, her muscles, her lovely eyes-- dammit Shark! Shaking his head, Shark continued to converse with this beast of a girl.
"if so, I wanna join this place'ere. I apologize I s'pose since I'm not all too good talking with others or well... not really that social."
Socially awkward much? Shark couldn't help but think if this girl had been smaller, he would've had a ball with this, but seeing as she could ever so easily rearrange his pretty face, he'll wait for a bother to roll around to pick on. "It's quite alright, talking with others isn't rally a perquisite here. I however am blessed with the gift." he gave anna a reassuring smile, hoping she wouldn't take it the wrong way. Blue and gray head turned to Weiss, motioning for her to come sit up by him, he assumed Anna wouldn't mind since it was her that was under test here. When Weiss came up and sat down he would address them both, "Anna, this is Weiss, she is under training, you don't mind if she engaged in the process do you?" He would wait for her answer, which he assumed would be yes, because she really didn't have a choice now did she? Then would address Weiss, "Weiss, what kind of questions should be asked to Anna here?"
It didn't matter what Anna answered with, with her sheer size, Shark was ready to let her in from her first response, this was just for the mere educational benefit for Weiss. Since he promised her the experience.
>> said:
ooc;; Just gonna have Weiss reply to just before Shark calling her over so I don't clutter the reply with her rambling thoughts.
So far as much as Weiss could tell everything was going well, but then again it had just started. She gave a shrug and sat on the borders edge where she was told to stay and watched with eager eyes. This was turning out to be a rather nice considering she was at first in awe of how large Anna was. But now after listening to her and Shark converse she wasn't feeling as nervous being around the large femme.
"if so, I wanna join this place'ere. I apologize I s'pose since I'm not all too good talking with others or well... not really that social."
Her eyes went wide, so she wanted to join? Well at least she wasn't here to cause trouble or anything of those sorts. Knowing that helped pull a large weight off of Weiss's chest.
"It's quite alright, talking with others isn't rally a perquisite here. I however am blessed with the gift." Weiss couldn't help but smile as she listened to Shark and she instantly perked up when he turned to look back at her. Her heart started to beat faster as he motioned for her to come to. She gladly stood from her spot and padded over to where he sat. She gave a nervous smile to both Shark and Anna before taking a seat beside the blue grey wolf. "Anna, this is Weiss, she is under training, you don't mind if she engaged in the process do you?" She gave a dip of her head to Anna and smiled at the other female. "Hello there. Pleasure to meet you." She said with a smile when Shark was finished introducing her.
"Weiss, what kind of questions should be asked to Anna here?"
Her head swiveled from Shark to Anna and back again. She was supposed to ask a question? Well ok, that worked. Now, what was she going to ask? She had never done this before and was somewhat afraid that she would ask the wrong thing, or say something wrong. Her tongue darted out to swipe at her muzzle in her nervous habit before she perked up. She knew something she could ask! As she thought back to her acceptance and what all shark had said and asked of her, well of course leaving off a few memories. Turning to look at Anna she began to speak,"Um, right. Do you have any skills? Anything that you're good at? Like...hunting, and other stuff like that." She asked, feeling her nerves starting to come back full force. Once she finished she looked at shark as if to ask if she had done an ok job. She really hoped she had.
