OOC: Crappy starting post, woo ;-; The golden grace languished about in the springtime sun. The faint warmth of the breeze, the way it skittered through the grasses around her, it was almost relaxing. Almost. She sat up with a huff. The fae was bored, to put in plainly. It felt as though she had been motionless for an eternity now that the world was waking back into life, now that simply surviving was becoming easy again. She had spent much of her time through the last couple of seasons wondering about, and only recently had she returned to her homelands, or at least where the rogues had sent her. Her guess was as good as any, but rumors of a warrior tribe, a fearsome band that had settled into this prairie, well... It was worth her investigation. After wondering about for the better part of the day, following scent trails of myriad age, she'd decided to rest in the noon day sun, but the inactivity had made her beyond restless. The golden woman craned her neck to look over the young grass shoots, hoping to find something among the rolling hills to capture her attention, at least for a short while. "Talk" "You" Think

After the challenge was won Akemi would drift away a while. She made a promise to Hati to return after she had some time to think, her heart forever divided and aching. She loved him to pieces, she did, but... what path was right for her? Did she stay alongside the brother she had always loved, proving herself for some pack yet again, or go with the others of her kin? Or... was it that the gods thought neither of those things appropriate for her? The girl would shake her head, letting out a low growl of frustration as she wandered toward the prairie. It was coincidence, really, that she would pass this way. Her family's old home had been claimed by some pack... and she hadn't the slightest clue where they had gone. At least, til scents started to hit her nose. Funny thing, fate, it seemed to lead you to what you wanted sometimes. The girl would keep on, knowing she faced no threat from her family here, but what a surprise it would be when she caught the scent of a sister... and one who she had not seen in some time within Alacritia. Freyja... perhaps the sole female in the family who did not immediately look down upon her or she had a bitter rivalry going with. Unlike Weth, Akemi could definitely deal with the golden woman's company. She would pad on until the golden goddesss would come into sight, and then she would call. "It's been some time, sister. How have you fared in your journey, Freyja?" The words were not as soft as they perhaps could have been, but the little spitfire was not showing true aggression at least. With family she could afford a little so called weakness, right? Speech

The woman's appearance was sudden, surprising, yet not unwelcome. Still her presence kindled in Freyja a spark of irritation, as the presence of others often did. It was nothing personal, truly, just an ingrained irritability Freyja had never had any desire to shake. She had not seen this particular fae in a very long time, not since they were both much younger. Freyja's own adventures had taken her far and wide away form the family grounds, yet there they both were. "I fared as well as I was able," she said, her voice well balanced with lofty airs and familiarity, so as not to offend nor give any impression that Freyja wished to be overly familiar. Though if she was being truthful, she was glad to see Akemi before her, instead of many others. Short tempers and irritability a ran rampant in their gene pool, and while it was encouraged in the males it was a tedious inconvenience among her and her sisters. "What of you? It's been so long since I've had the pleasure." Her courtesies had not been forgotten over the long moons; in fact she had often taken the time and effort to improve them, keeping company with the land's finer denizens. Still the grasses whispered around them, and it did little to lengthen her fuse, finding their secrecy an even greater irritability than the company of another. "Talk" "You" Think

And I Know That I


I Sometimes Tend To Lose My Temper


And I Cross The Line

The girl would give a nod at her sister?s answer. Freyja was not unlike the rest of her family, distant in a way that would in fact be considered more normal by her family?s standards. The golden goddess of a woman was strong and proud, and some of the natural traits that ran within their line was present in her as well. But still, Akemi still found comfort in the presence of her siblings, taking both their good and bad in stride. They were all family, and even if they could only tolerate each other for a small while it was better than nothing.

?I?ve been well enough... Trying to find my place out here I suppose... Among out family or not. I?ve floated around with Hati a bit but... I guess I?m still unsure what the right path is.? The younger sibling shook her head. ?All the same... I?ve proved to myself my strength... And that I am able to stand strong on my own... And I don?t need to be babysat by my older siblings.? Though Akemi had said such before, it wasn?t until she sparred Hati that she truly felt the most confident in her skills. Though... That fight could have turned uglier than it had been. But Akemi shook the thought off, sniffing the air.

?It seems the others are here now. Loki had four children... And Thor has three of Vili?s children with him, as well as two older ones that came back. Not sure how much you desire to see them but... I?m sure staying in touch now and then can?t hurt, right?? The girl would shift, a bit uneasy at how quickly she revealed her feelings to her sister. With her brothers it seemed more natural... But Freyja? What would she think of the young girl speaking of visiting the family, when as a pup she did anything but? Well... Other than Hati and Feryer for the most part.




"Speech"

I Know It Gets Hard Sometimes


But I Could Never Leave Your Side


No Matter What I Say

Freyja took in Akemi's trove of information with a pleasantly empty expression, all in the the effort to be pleasant. It would not do, she decided, to scorn or drive this young one against her. Whether it be for the sake of familial bonds, or the sake of a potential ally... well. Who could say? When the younger fae spoke of her thoughts and hopes, Freyja took a moment to digest them, dropping her pale gaze to her paler paws. "And I don?t need to be babysat by my older siblings," she said. Freyja allowed an approving, even a prideful, glance come onto her features. "I'm glad to hear that," she said quietly, her silky voice practically a purr. "It is a good mindset to be in." The golden woman's pleasure would only grow as Akemi went on to speak of their family's current state, their location, the furtherance of the family line. For good or for ill they were prospering, by the sound of things. Freyja would curl her lips into a smile thinking of the children, and chuckle. "Pups, eh? I suppose worse things could happen than dropping by for a visit... perhaps. Time will tell." She looked over the woman who had come upon her so suddenly. Akemi was more earthen than she yet they shared a certain build, a certain essence of figure, that Freyja found interesting. They were sisters, in blood if not in bond, and in this it shone through. Freyja had never felt any need to expand their relationship, or to expand her relationship with anyone. What would that sort of thing even be like? Akemi had spent time with the others... The golden goddess wondered if perhaps she had found it valuable, but she would not stoop so low as to ask. "Talk" "You" Think

The small girl felt a bit of happiness at the nod her sister gave. Akemi had, in her own opinion, lived in the shadows of her brothers for far too long. She wanted to prove herself to all of the wolves of Alacritis. It was indeed a good mindset, and the girl would find herself seeking new challenges from here on out. Perhaps wander and spend time with each of her different siblings. That is, well, if Freyja would approve of her company. Akemi would give a nod. ?True enough. I never really saw Loki as the fatherly type... but it seems he?s doing well enough. It?s nice seeing them from time to time... Though Loki can still make my nerves prickle with irritation.? The female would chuckle softly. ?You never know what all you can learn... And seeing the different paths our siblings all take... There are surely lessons in all of them.? The girl would take another step, raising a brow as she looked back to Freyja. ?Do you plan on visiting with any of them while you are here? I thought maybe checking in couldn?t hurt.? She would flick her tail back and forth a couple times. ?...and after... Do you plan to remain here in Alacritis?? Speech
