< 18:03 > * ~Saigh had snuck into the hollow undetected for the most part as she settled down in the open space of the meadow they used for meetings. She would tip back her muzzle, pointing it skyward as she howled aloud, her baying alto raising slowly until it consumed the fading light of the summer sky like thunder. Rolling across the hollow, summoning her pack < 18:04 > * &Vesa ears flicked up as she heard her aunt, moving to nose the three wolves she would smile. The Gamma moved quickly towards the meeting when her Aunt called for it. Shifting to settle in place beside her aunt. Happily nuzzling Saigh as she waited for others to join. < 18:04 > * %Rhuna would of been outside the nursery den as always laying with Vidarr still . At the sound of Saigh calling a gathering she would scoop the pup up and deposit him back inside while she went to attend. As normal Rhuna would position herself in the back of the pack closer to the nursery den then the others. Perking her ears as she waited for Saigh to go on . < 18:05 > * Agro lifted his head at the howl. The one thing he will always be able to hear at any hour of the day. He knew he missed last night's meeting, so he was quick to abandon his duties and swiftly make his way over to the gathering group of wolves, albeit small. He took his usual spot and sat, patient and waiting with a smile. < 18:05 > * Maester moved after Rhuna following her to the meeting. Settling down he waited to see what would happen in tonights gathering. < 18:06 > * %Chirp perks curiously andgains her paws at the sound of Saigh's howl and when Vesa rose and trotted off, she followed along behind her tail whirling around behind her wagging like a windmill as she moved in close and settled down on her haunches before the Alpha female attentivley. < 18:06 > * +Aquilo raised his head from where he'd been with Vesa as a howl rose up it was Saigh calling another meeting. The male got to his paws and followed Vesa to where Saigh had called thr meeting. Hie ambers wandered around to all the wolves that were joining. < 18:08 > * Zaephrus found his eyes fell over the perky fae before him, grunting as an ear twitched atop his skull. Hearing the question directed towards him, Zaephrus turned to spot another female wolf he didn't remember meeting... and Aquilo. Grinning, the brute felt his tail wag at the sight of the black wolf. Turning to answer her question, Zaephrus replied with a quiet tone. "I am well, and yourself?" His eyes fell over the perky blonde wolf when sh < 18:08 > * Zaephrus Ears perking at the sound of a howl. Gruting, he watched Vesa and Chirp pad off before standing and padding after Aquilo. Once in the clearing, the brute found himself plotted next to his brother, Maester. Leaning against the younger wolf, Zaephrus would smile and glance up at Saigh, awaiting her words. < 18:09 > * Leilani (androirc@Test-B97175B9.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Hollow < 18:09 > * Leif` sets mode: +v Leilani < 18:09 > <~Leif`> || Leilani Amarante || Health: 100 || Rank: Assessment || Gender: Female || Unpaired || Ailments: None || < 18:09 > <&Vesa> So to start off! A recap from lastnight: While we do enjoy everyones enthusiasm for hunting, we want to make it clear that the cache does not need to remain full 100% of the time and your Health does not need to be at 100 all the time. 80-90 is perfectly acceptable and wolves often go days without eating. That's okay. We are discussing implementing a solo-hunt feature for smaller prey for those < 18:09 > <&Vesa> who want to use it but keep in mind that we try to keep this to a minimum. We want to keep hunting vastly a "team" sport and we do not want it to loose its appeal because everyone can hunt for themselves. This is still a work in progress and something we will be looking into more in the coming weeks. < 18:09 > <&Vesa> Questions/Comments/Concerns: type X, Nothing to add: type - < 18:10 > <%Rhuna> - < 18:10 > <+Leilani> - < 18:10 > - < 18:10 > - < 18:10 > <%Chirp> - < 18:10 > <%Hawke|Around> - < 18:11 > - < 18:11 > <+Aquilo> - < 18:13 > <~Saigh> For those who are not yet aware, we have named Aquilo our new featured member. Quills has come in like a lean mean rping machine. All day all night with anyone who is willing! Aquilo has shown the pack, and the council much loyalty in the last month or so and for that - we are greatful to have you <3 Congrats Quills! < 18:13 > <3 woohoo < 18:13 > <&Vesa> WOO :D. < 18:13 > <%Rhuna> <3 YAY < 18:13 > \o.o/ < 18:13 > <+Leilani> <3 < 18:13 > <%Chirp> whoo hoo < 18:13 > <%Trystian> woooo! < 18:14 > <&Vesa> (And since Kel went to nap..

Clearing her throat she shifted her eyes over the crowd towards Maester and Rhuna. "Maester and Rhuna.. May you please step forward." Her ears flicked up. Happily swishing her tail behind her as she asked them forward. < 18:20 > * %Rhuna perplexed she would rise and look to Maester before stewpping forward. She tilted her head a bit confused as to why they both were being called up . " Yes Vesa ?" She asked standing now before the female and the pack . Looking to Saigh as well. Perking her ears only to have them fold back in confusion . < 18:20 > * Hawke|Around is now known as Hawke < 18:20 > * Maester stood moving from his place beside his brother to stand before the council. His tail flicked idly behind him with how nervous he felt. Pausing beside Rhuna he let his shoulder brush with hers briefly to steady himself. "Yes?" he inquired softly, his ears perked up. < 18:21 > * Saigh sets mode: +v Zaephrus < 18:28 > * Saigh sets mode: +h Maester < 18:28 > * Saigh sets mode: +h Leilani < 18:28 > * &Vesa watching as they both stepped forward in a nervous, questionable fashion she would chuckle. Sincerely, chuckle. Her framed softened before the two larger ebony wolves. Shifting her amber eyes upon them she would hold her breath for a moment to let the unease settle upon their shoulders. Her eyes softening now she would nod. "I have called you both forward because you have both requested < 18:28 > * &Vesa to start a courting. Rhuna, Maester, would you please share your feelings with the pack?" She grinned widely as she said the last sentence. Wagging her tail and then looking at Rhuna to start. < 18:32 > * %Rhuna would stammer abit but gathered herself quickly . Turning to look at Maester she cleared her throat and began speaking in a voice loud enough all the pack would hear her . " Maester we have been through ups and downs. I even tried to eat you when I first ran into you literally. We have been through alot together . Nothing would make me happier then to be < 18:32 > * %Rhuna able to strengthen that bond and be courts and maybe hopefully spend the rest of my life with you by my side . " She finsihed and fell silent smiling feeling a bit odd in front of the whole pack but this is what she wanted . < 18:33 > * Vidarr (webchat@C192446E.BDE03792.46F3D830.IP) has joined #Hollow < 18:33 > <~Leif`> || Vidarr Khoshekh || Health: 99 || Rank: Guest || Gender: Male || Unpaired || Ailments: None || < 18:42 > * %Maester drew in a sharp breath in soft surprise. Turning his head he listened to Rhuna intently as she spoke, his tail giving a gentle wag. His golden eyes gleamed softly with happiness. When it was his turn he took another breath before speaking. "My dearest Rhuna, it has been quite a journey thus far and we have braved it well together despite a few bumps now and then. I would be honored to < 18:42 > * %Maester have the chance to court you. I will gladly spend my time proving I am deserving of your affection and your companionship." He concluded gazing at her softly as he lapsed into silence. < 18:42 > * %Leilani (androirc@Test-B97175B9.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: AndroIRC - Android IRC Client ( http://www.androirc.com )) < 18:43 > * Lei`BBS is now known as Leilani < 18:46 > * &Vesa let her tail swish as they spoke together about continuing on their relationship to see where courtship will take them. A grin slipped again onto her jowels and with that she nodded to them both. Her eyes at one point moved to Agro from behind the two wolves infront of her. Smiling for a moment at the memory of when she and Agro began their courtship infront of the pack just as Rhuna < 18:46 > * &Vesa and Maester were now. With their words, Vesa would clear her throat. "Maester and Rhuna, you are now seen as courts within the pack." She would then lift a howl for the couple. Excited for where their adventures together will take them eventually. < 18:46 > * %Hawke would smile softly from her position within the crowd, her golden hued gaze falling upon the two wolves as they approached Saigh and Vesa. She pondered a moment what the meaning of it could be, but it wasn't long before she came to conclusion. Grinning, she would listen with anticipation, her ears cocked upwards attentively. As Rhuna spoke, her tail swayed gently. She had thought all < 18:46 > * %Hawke along the two were courting, so it surprised to her witness this event, but was happy for them nonetheless. When Maester shared what he had to say, she would sigh lightly, though quickly cleared her mind of any follow up thoughts. She had promised herself she wouldn't have those thoughts anymore. So, instead, she would return to reality, thrusting her muzzle skywards and allowing a celebratory < 18:46 > * %Hawke howl to escape in honour of the official courtship between the two wolves standing before them. < 18:47 > * Leilani snuck up beside her cousin and lifted her muzzle to howl for Rhuna and Maester. < 18:47 > * +Aquilo let his head tilt to the sky. He howled for his friends happy they had finally reached their courtship. < 18:48 > * %Rhuna moved to nuzzle her court and lick his cheek softrly before thanking the coucil and returning to her seat . Her pelt still felt warm in her cheek area . She would then howl in happiness. < 18:48 > * Agro grinned from ear to ear. Rarely did he see the development of other relationships in the pack, including his own at one point. So it was always a pleasant surprise to see his packmates so happy with a significant other. His eyes found Vesa's for that split second out of instinct and he winked at her playfully before lifting his muzzle to howl. < 18:49 > * AndroSiku (androirc@Test-433CEDD0.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Hollow < 18:49 > * %Maester returned to his place beside both Rhuna and Zaephrus, his tail thumping against the ground content. He too howled in happines upon being approved in the eyes of the council and pack. < 18:50 > * +Zaephrus watched his brother and supposed mate intently, his tail swishing behind him. The female, he noticed, was the one that had been hostile against him when they'd met. Smiling, the brute shouldered his brother happily, cranning his head back to croon with the others, congratulating the couple. < 18:51 > * ~Saigh would smile approvingly. The two had faught hard for their relationship and she knew that they both had waited a long time for it to become a reality and knew that because of that wait and the trials they had endured that their relationship would be stronger for it. She lifted her muzzle and sang happily for them, her tail swishing eagerly at her side. She would dip her muzzle in congradulations to the now formally recognized courts, wishing them both well in the journey they were on together. She would dismis them to rejoin the pack together before looking to her niece and raising a brow. Looking dead at her she would speak aloud so the rest of the pack could hear her as well. < 18:51 > <~Saigh> "Vesa and Agro, Please enter the cicle" < 18:51 > <~Saigh> (ooc post fail lol) < 18:53 > * Agro 's ear merely twitched at the sound of his name accompanied with Vesa's. For a second his heart sped up, but he managed to get up and calmly walk himself into the middle of the circle and set himself in front of his alpha. Having done this several times, it was slightly less nerve wracking than it used to be. He dipped his head in greeting to Saigh and sat, < 18:53 > * Agro smile ever present on his muzzle. < 18:53 > * &Vesa felt her aunt staring at her after she had ended the howl for Rhuna and Maester. Blinking she would shift to glance back hesitantly. Unaware of why she was being stared at. Had Vesa forgotten something in the meeting? With an unsettling silence she blinked when she heard her name being called alongside her court's. A spark lit a fire in Vesa's brain as she thought of the possibilities. < 18:53 > * &Vesa Her eyes moved to Agro to see him approach. Getting up she would turn to join his side. Her head tilting to the side as her eyes shifted to her aunt. < 18:53 > * Hawke is now known as Hawke|Brb < 18:55 > * Gunnolf (Trystian@Test-9AFB2508.lightspeed.bcvloh.sbcglobal.net) has joined #Hollow < 18:55 > <~Leif`> || Gunnolf || Health: 93 || Rank: Guest || Gender: Male || Unpaired || Ailments: None || < 18:58 > * ~Saigh would watch as her niece joined at Agros side, both facing her at the center of the circle, surrounded by the pack. A smile tugged at her dark lips, her silver fetures alight in the twilight. "You both have been courting some time. While Rhuna and Maester begin their path together, you guys have walked it together for a time. Tonight, I ask if you wish to continue to walk along this crazy path with the other at your side. As mates. This is a committment not to be taken lightly. This is is a bond that will stay with you, hopefully, to the end of your days. If you wish this to be, face each other and speak from one heart to the other, your mateship vows." she said. Her words stern in seriousness but her heart alight with the romantic theme of the evening < 19:03 > * Hawke|Brb is now known as Hawke < 19:03 > * Leilani is now known as Lei`AFK < 19:08 > * Agro knew this day was coming but he wasn't quite as prepared for it as he would have liked to be. It felt just like the courtship ceremony, or even the very first time he ever told Vesa of his feelings. Only this was much more serious a commitment. It was a good thing he was very very serious about Vesa. And even if he didn't have a whole speech in mind he had < 19:08 > * Agro no issues telling anybody of his feelings for her. When Saigh was done speaking, he turned his head to his court, a genuine smile of his deepest affections all showing on his face. "For months and months on end, you've been my best friend and partner in crime. You've seen me at my worst and probably have the highest level of patience I've ever seen in a < 19:08 > * Agro wolf, waiting for me to figure myself out." His gaze softened. "And I'm certainly glad you did because I couldn't imagine my life without you in it, love." < 19:13 > * &Vesa turned to look at Agro, hearing his easy words made her heart flutter. She softened as he spoke, she was patient but she knew that he had hurt before her. He didn't want to make a fast decision, and she wouldn't ever push him into anything. So for a moment she thought of her own words to him, and to tell the pack behind them. "Agro.." She breathed in deeply and then nodded to herself < 19:13 > * &Vesa as she felt her words in her throat. "You have been around for many stages of my life. You were here when I joined Kladd`atir as a pup, you were one of my first friends when I came here. You were here when I recognized love as a pup towards another. I was here when you recognized like-feelings towards two others before me.. I point this out because when our loves left us to find their own paths < 19:13 > * &Vesa in life.. We mended eachothers' hearts. The next stage, you were here for was when we both were the only Caretakers in Kladd`atir. We worked hard, and we worked together to maintain the pack's health and keep tabs on each other as we worked through the pains. We learned together, never separate." She shifted, "the biggest stage of my life was when I told you I loved you. I gave you the time in < 19:14 > * &Vesa the world to contemplate your feelings towards me. We spent nights for months just enjoying one another's company.. It was nice to know that.. No matter what. You would always be there. When you told me, you loved me too.." She shook her head and smiled. "My heart exploded. My stomach finally settled, I knew it was right. I knew we were right. It was then my stages of life, became our stages. < 19:14 > * &Vesa We became courts.. and we grew to know one another at a deeper level than either of us have ever known any other." Vesa smiled brightly. "I am excited to see what the stage of being mates brings us." < 19:19 > * AndroUser (androirc@DF7A2BBB.90062FC6.F35C5829.IP) has joined #Hollow < 19:19 > * %KelaizzZzz (androirc@Test-AE3C5F19.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) < 19:19 > * ~Saigh would listen as each spoke the heartfelt words that brought their love into the light. Her own heart throbbed, wishing her mate was at her side just then though she knew he was away scouting out the mountiansides. Summer was a ... hard time for him. About this time of the year was when a fire ravaged his birthpack, so he stayed extra vigilant. Still, her focus shot back to the nuptuals taking place before her. She would nod her head gingerly. "It is clear your love is true and strong. When times are hard, look to each other and remember these words. Love one another and support one another as you continue your lives as mates. Congradulations." she said with a murr. "Vesa and Agro - Mates!" she deemed them, her head tilting back and singing for the duo, and inviting the others to join in as well. < 19:19 > * AndroUser is now known as Leilani < 19:21 > * %Rhuna howled for the newly dubbed mate-ship between the two wolves. She knew they would go far together . Allowing er voice to fall she grew silent and watied to see what else the night might hold. < 19:21 > * +Aquilo gave a strong howl for his friends. He couldn't be happier for them. And was glad the two had found a forever love between each other. < 19:22 > * %Maester howled for the new couple, happy for their union. < 19:22 > * %Hawke would howl in congratulations along with the others, happy that Agro and Vesa's relationship had moved to be made official. < 19:22 > * &Vesa grinned at her mate, wagging her tail she would nose him and then pull at his bad ear gently. Then howled for their relationship and then yapped out "VIVA LA RIVARIANS." Because.. What's a Vesa/Agro relationship without a weird moment tied in? < 19:26 > * &Vesa moved to stand back beside her aunt, her eyes settling for a moment on Agro with a moment of content and love. Then she shifted her eyes away to a small grouping of the pups who had come to their pack. She knew there weren't any other guests in the crowd so she lowered her frame a bit and asked the three boys, "Malachi, Vidarr and Gunnolf, would you please come forward?" Her tail swishing < 19:26 > * &Vesa as she spoke sweetly to them. < 19:26 > * Agro resisted the urge to lick her face right then and there but opened to lean over and gave his new mate a nuzzle. They've been through so much that this moment was almost unbelievable. He burst out laughing at her exclamation. "In this life and the next!" he declared. The male was overjoyed, probably close to spilling over with happiness as their pack around < 19:26 > * Agro them congratulated them on their union. He even joined in until it was time for him to move back to his spot. < 19:27 > * %Rhuna perked as the pups were summoned . Watching intently she kept her gaze upon Vidarr and Gunnolf mostly . Wondering what was going on . < 19:28 > * %Hawke (Hawke@AE35D25.25484C0D.1A908765.IP) Quit (Quit: Your sins in to me, oh my beautiful one...) < 19:28 > * ~Saigh would recline back onto her haunches as her niece settled back into her position as gamma and summoned forth the male pups. The girls, last she had seen, were huddled in a puppy pile snoozing away. < 19:28 > * %Trystian (Trystian@Test-9AFB2508.lightspeed.bcvloh.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) < 19:29 > * Gunnolf had crept to the back of the croud along with Vidaar in order to see what has happening, on why all the big wolves were together in one place. When he was called out he thought he was in trouble for being where he wasnt supposed too, but he came forward anyway and looked as all the big wolves were surrounding him now. < 19:29 > * %Chirp (derpywlf@Test-F545AED5.dhcp.spbg.sc.charter.com) Quit (Quit: pewf!) < 19:30 > * Malachi had managed to make himself present among the group of wolves, curious about what was going on. He spent the majority of the time staring wide-eyed in awe at them all. Not as many as the other time but still a lot. At his name he perked, tilting his head when he was asked to come forward. "Kay!" he said, eagerly tumbling forward, no questions asked to sit < 19:30 > * Malachi before the fae. < 19:30 > * ~Leif` darts out from beneath a bush and bolts across the hollow, headed for another tree. < 19:30 > * Aquilo is now known as Quilo|shower < 19:30 > * Lei`AFK (Ceridwen@Test-B97175B9.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) < 19:30 > * Trystian (Trystian@Test-9AFB2508.lightspeed.bcvloh.sbcglobal.net) has joined #Hollow < 19:30 > * Leif` sets mode: +h Trystian < 19:30 > <~Leif`> || Trystian Harper || Health: 82 || Rank: Reserve || Gender: Male || Unpaired || Ailments: None || < 19:31 > * %Trystian (Trystian@Test-9AFB2508.lightspeed.bcvloh.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) < 19:31 > * Trystian (Trystian@Test-9AFB2508.lightspeed.bcvloh.sbcglobal.net) has joined #Hollow < 19:31 > * Leif` sets mode: +h Trystian < 19:31 > <~Leif`> || Trystian Harper || Health: 82 || Rank: Reserve || Gender: Male || Unpaired || Ailments: None || < 19:32 > * Gunnolf (Trystian@Test-9AFB2508.lightspeed.bcvloh.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) < 19:33 > * Vidarr padded out after the other two, not particularly bothered by the amount of large wolves looking at him. He had been called and he wouldn't miss out, that for sure. "Comin'! My wegs are shoreter than theirs's." He called, taking his place next to Malachi. < 19:36 > * &Vesa gringled as the three came up in their own respective ways. Her tail swished, she settled her body down in a seated position to give them a bit more of a comfort being infront of the two council females. Her eyes looking to Vidarr, she definitely understood the feeling of having to scurry to keep up sometimes. With a nod though to the three she giggled. "It has come to the council's < 19:36 > * &Vesa attention that you three would like to Assess into Kladd`atir." She would look at them gently and began to explain in terms they would understand. "Pretty much you would like to work to join our pack. Assessment means you will work hard to make sure you do join! You get to meet all of us big fluffs and get to know all of us and we will get to know you! And then you can join our pack after as < 19:36 > * &Vesa Pups of Kladd`atir. Does that sound fun?" < 19:39 > * %Trystian sat and looked up at the big fae wolves in front of him, he looked kind of nervous being surrounded by biggers creatures than him. But as Vesa spoke he got interested and a little excited about getting to know the big fluffs, and join them in the pack. "Yeahs it does!" he said with a big smile. < 19:42 > * Malachi giggled at the two of his denmates, distracted for the moment until Vesa's voice brought him back to attention. He was trying to stifle his snickering, the pup being absolutely tickled by everything but he knew this wolf was an Important Wolf and he tried very hard to listen. The little brute stared up at her, ears pulled forward. Stay? See more big wolves? < 19:42 > * Malachi Friends?? "Ooooo!" he cooed a the word "fun", nodding. "I stay! I stay. I...play?" Mal looked at the other two pups like they would answer. But he promptly turned to the female and nodded again, just to make sure she got it. < 19:43 > * ~Saigh smiled as Vesa .... simplified the idea of assessment for the younsters. She snickered softly to herself, ears twitchin as she awaited the pups responses. < 19:45 > * Vidarr listened intently as his tail wagged gently beside him, happy that Gunnolf was just as excited as he was! "Yea! I wannabe the bestests wolf eaveeeer!" He let loose a short howl, soon getting distracted by Malachi due to the word 'play', and gave a small wiggle of happiness. < 19:47 > * &Vesa watched them all dance and be excited. It was amusing, and they were gaining on her in size that was for sure! With a chuckle though she nodded to their agreements. "I am happy you are all excited!" She chirped at them and then nodded. "Malachi, Gunnolf and Vidarr you are our newest Assessments to Kladd`atir!" She yapped happily and then howled for them! < 19:47 > * %Rhuna 's eyes grew sorta wide as she watched the pups go up to the coucil . She smiled at all thier bravery . Her heart swelled a bit with fierce pride for the little ones . Having watched them all come so far from the time they got here till now . After they all accepted she actually stood up and howled her best howl for them . Waving her tail behind her in great < 19:47 > * %Rhuna sweeping motions. Once they would of left from in front of the larger higher ranked wolves she would go forward and Nuzzle each of them . Giving all three a caring lick to the top of thier small heads. " I am so proud of all of you Very much ." She whipered to the youths before returning to sit beside Maester once more . < 19:49 > * ~Saigh would smile as the last of the pups responded, agreeing to the assessment. She was very proud of all the little charges she had taken on. Her tail swayed eagerly behind hier as she too put back her head and howled for them, a song of encouragment and luck on the journey into Kladd`atir. < 19:52 > * ~Saigh would wait for the howls for the pups fell way into the now darkened sky. Her tassel waving eagerly behind her as she took up one last song to call an end to he meeting. < 19:52 > * %Rhuna (uid121658@Test-42D6779.irccloud.com) Quit (Quit: ) < 19:52 > * Vidarr 's eyes widened as the fae howled, his own head tipping back almost as if it was out of his control and gave a good long howl of his own. He didn't know why, but at this moment right now he could be as loud as he wanted and he wasn't gonna squander it! As Rhuna approached he yipped to her, full of pride and so happy that she was proud of them.
