Werewolves (RP18) "How the Mountain Greets the Moon"
Quote from Kaqurei on March 13, 2024, 9:33 pmA small smile tugged at the corner of Sabrina's mouth, though she looked almost incredulous at the suggestion.
"Chcete, aby som vám zaželal dobrý deň a možno sa aj poklonil? Prepáč, nie som ten typ. Nie pre teba ani pre nikoho. Ale ak som ťa urazil a chceš si to urovnať na dvore, rád vyhoviem."

Quote from Cat on March 13, 2024, 9:59 pmToby wasn't sure if Logan had dismissed him with he comment about the stars, but if she had, it was a very poetic and friendly dismissal. He was actually pleased to accept it. Unfortunately, before he could even move another presence came up behind him. It was far too coincidental for Toby's liking that Sabrina should appear behind him just as he was thinking about her, but he had little time to react before Logan placed herself between the two of them.
The change in Logan's demeanor was surprising and somewhat frightening. Like a dime, she had gone from consciencely trying not to intimidate to being irate. Sabrina also looked agitated. Did these two have some sort of past quarrel they were continuing? Or was Logan honestly trying to protect him? He almost couldn't believe the latter, though the very thought of it made him want to burst into tears and hug her.
The two women went back and forth so quickly that Toby missed the first half of their conversation. Then came a word he recognized: 'ospravedlníte' and immediately he knew what language they were speaking and how to translate it.
He determined they two were continuing a squabble which it made his heart sink, and his first instinct was to excuse himself until they were finished... But, what if they didn't finish? What if this escalated? They were right outside Dakota and Samantha's room! He couldn't allow these two to get into a scuffle, even if it meant he'd be spending another three weeks in horrible pain. His name had been dropped enough times to invite him to say something, and though he wasn't fluent, he knew enough to piece together. The thought of talking back to Sabrina made his knees shake, but then he looked at Logan and felt a little braver.
"Roztraste hviezdy našim kvílením. Páči sa mi to." He said suddenly with a big smile. Gingerly, he stepped around and stood beside Logan, looking at Sabrina.
"Máš pravdu. Rešpekt sa získava, ale aj priateľstvo a je to jednoduchšie." Then he looked between the two. "Myslím, že táto diskusia je--" How did one say 'unnecessary' again? "..Z-..želé."

Quote from Adriana on March 13, 2024, 10:35 pm"Čo?" Logan asked out loud, although she hadn't meant to. Her arms fell by her side and she gave way for Toby, who bravely came up beside her to speak to Sabrina of his own accord, in Logan's own native tongue. She stared at him, puzzled as he spoke.
Then Logan's face flushed briefly - she had chosen her first language to spare both Toby from Sabrina and Sabrina from Toby, and yet it had been for nothing. In fact, in doing so, she had deprived the young man the opportunity to speak for himself. What was that about making someone feel small?
Bitterly, she saw her own folly and pride laid out before her. Ordinarily, Toby’s first words would have brought her pride, and his last word would have caused her to laugh, and provided the perfect opportunity to release the pent up frustration... but the circumstances prevented her from doing so.
She did not regret what she said, but she did regret the situation.
She lifted her chin, not quite with the same confidence as before, and met Sabrina's eyes as she awaited the woman's answer. She wondered if Sabrina had known about Toby's abilities.

Quote from Deleted user on March 14, 2024, 4:57 amThe wolf did gladly continue to asked for more meat. Slowly his growl disappeared completely. At some point, he looked far more like a mere house dog than wolf, his dark brown eyes appearing like a begging puppy dog as he licked his lips in anticipation. For a brief moment, his aggression seemed to be completely gone, the wolf lost in his own pleasure of feasting after a long time of so little food.
Eventually when Saber was full, his mind slowly came back to the matter at hand, his anger and aggression returning to his eyes. He stared at Kratos intently, a soft growl escaping his throat. While he was grateful for the food, the man still stood in the way of leaving the cabin's premise safely. He eyed the front door and carefully moved towards it, watching Kratos carefully.

Quote from Kaqurei on March 15, 2024, 7:36 pm"Úplne súhlasím, dáme to bokom?" Sabrina said easily, her eyes not leaving Logan's. The gauntlet was still down. Whether to let it lie or take it up was on Logan, and Sabrina made that clear with her gaze. If you withdraw, so will I. If you see fit to challenge me, I shall meet you in kind. The choice is yours.

Quote from Adriana on March 16, 2024, 12:12 amLogan seemed to weigh something behind her mauve gaze, which likewise was not withdrawn from Sabrina's.
She had been baited into enough brawls to know when her opponent had a hidden advantage. Sabrina could hold it over Logan's head if she reacted, and she would lose face with Kratos and the rest of the pack members. It was not conducive to her growth within the pack... and although the perceived injustice was enough to warrant it in Logan's eyes, she had learned by now that not everyone would agree.
Her thoughts on Sabrina aside, Toby had intervened courageously and said his piece, with which Logan could not agree with more. It was brave, bold, gentle and true.
"Speak with him. I will be here."
She said, and let the matter go. Nonetheless, she continued to stand at Toby's side, and her chin stayed lifted as she looked down at Sabrina.
The healer had demonstrated an inability for compromise in the name of compassion, and the defender demonstrated an unwillingness to compromise on compassion. Logan did not think she was wrong in her decision.

Quote from Mae on March 16, 2024, 12:31 amKratos stood tall in the kitchen. Saber's mood changed but, having eaten his fill, he was far less dangerous. Now, the only decision that remained was what to do with him until he was in more possession of himself. Kratos lowered his chin...

Ulric met the eyes of the Svalnaglas intruders not for the last time. Tiffany looked up when he reappeared above the enclosure, but she did not rise to face him. Something had changed. Ulric didn't understand what. He looked at the den, wondering what prolonged the alpha. Where was he?
Evening was fast approaching... It would not be long before sundown.
