ooc: Seraphine was given her name by Luce, so she has no name yet in this thread. That said, this is before she was burned in a fire.

A laugh could be heard coming from the depths of the forest. A black ball of fur moving between the trees, hop, hop, hop. A female pup had run off from her mother for some fun, going beyond the range her mother gave her permission to roam. The two had been walking a lot and today they could finally rest, but she did not want to lay around the den. No way, this little pup wanted to go exploring and maybe find somebody to play with. She bounded through the vegetation, stopping for a moment to stalk a bug. Lip pulled back to reveal a toothy grin, lowering herself to the ground, but her rear was up in the air, tail wagging. Slowly she crept forward, mismatched eyes focused on the butterfly before her. Inch by inch until she finally could reach it, and with that she gave out a bark before leaping. Paws slammed into the earth, hitting the ground with nothing beneath them. Darn, come back butterfly! She whined, picking herself up and bounding after the bug, yapping away, paying no attention to where she was going. "normal, talk, think, you"

The alabaster beast lay silent and dreaming below a tree near the water's edge. He dreamt he was back home, with his family, the alpha of his pack. He dreamt he had a mate who was beautiful, but understood that he wasn't fond of her. He dreamt he had children. Beautiful, white coated pups who loved him like he was their sun, he was what gave them energy and life. It was the only thing he loved this mate of his for. His little sister ruled by his side, and his brother lead the warriors and hunters. His life was perfect. It made him wonder, as he observed himself, why he ever left. He could've had this.



The dream became a muddled mess as he woke from his sleep. His eyes opened slowly, and he took in his surrounding, idly wondering what had woken him up in the first place. Seraph recognized the sound of giggling, a child's giggling, and wondered if he was dreaming still. No, he was awake. Had he been dreaming, the giggle would have been coming from one of his perfect snow white children. It was an ebony pup that was bounding toward his spot, yelling at what appeared to be a butterfly. She was seemingly oblivious to his presence.



Seraphim rose from the ground and gave his legs a good stretch before meandering toward the child. He stood, stoic, as she continued to bound toward him completely unaware of her surroundings. The brute let a small smile form on his maw, and spoke up to grab her attention. Little one, you should be more observant.

The pup bounded through the forest, laughing away as she chased the butterfly. It was fast! Whenever it would land the pup would jump but just before her paw made contact it would flutter away. With a determined growl she chased after it, tail wagging like mad behind her, unaware of what was going on around her until it was too late. Little one, you should be more observant. A deep voice suddenly spoke, scaring the pup. She turned her mismatched gaze on the path ahead of her, falling upon an adult at the last moment. Bam! The pup slammed right into his leg, bouncing off and landing on her rear. A soft whine escaped her lips as she pushed herself up slowly, shaking dirt out of her fur. I'm sorry mister. She aplogized, looking up to him. "normal, talk, think, you"

The little she-wolf didn't hear him until it was too late. She managed to look up and see what was happening just as she came crashing into his leg. He barely felt a thing, but he was sure the impact was probably much more to a small pup than a massive adult.



Green eyes examined the child carefully, taking in her mismatched eyes and ebony fur. The scent on the air told him that she was not of any of the packs he had noticed in these lands so far. Still he had to wonder, what was such a young pup doing out here all by herself? Seraph didn't hear or smell any other wolves nearby. A parent should probably be with her. He eyed the pup skeptically.



Not a problem, young lady. Pay better attention next time though, you could run into a wolf who isn't so nice! He smiled again, and cocked his head slightly to the side. Where is your parent? You shouldn't be wandering alone. This world was too dangerous for pups to be out wandering alone. He had met enough creatures and seen enough bloodshed to know that.

Not a problem, young lady. Pay better attention next time though, you could run into a wolf who isn't so nice! Where is your parent? You shouldn't be wandering alone. Her ears perked up, swiveling to face the man as he spoke. Slowly a grin formed on her lips, nodding her head when he told her to pay better attention next time for she might encounter a nice wolf. Yes sir! She barked, nodding her head even more but finally stopped after a few, tail wagging behind her. But when he asked about her mother the little pup stuck her tongue out at him, standing straight and holding her head high along with her tail. I'm on a secret mission, mother can't know about it! She grinned before dropping low to the ground, slowly she crept away from the male, butt wiggling in the air with her tail. I'm looking for treasure, something to make mother happy. "normal, talk, think, you"

Seraph couldn't help but grin at the pup nodding fervently as his words. He was glad he had been able to teach her a little lesson, and only hoped her child mind would retain it long enough for it to be of use. The world was a scary and dangerous place, one could never be too prepared.



A chuckle escaped him as the small wolf stuck her tongue out at him. A secret mission, huh? He remembered when his childhood had been the same, before his training had begun. He used to go out on adventures with his siblings and was always the one protecting and helping his sister when she tagged along. He longed to know how she was doing ruling the pack, if she had a new family, how his family felt about her position.



If you're looking for something pretty for your mother, I might know just the thing, he said quietly, dipping his head down beside the pup as she crouched low to the ground. Over by the water where I was resting a while ago, I think I saw some colorful flowers. He gestured with his head toward the spot he had been in before she came crashing out of the trees into his leg. He hoped she didn't mind him trying to help her out. The presence of a child was comforting to him, and made him forget his darker self for a while.

The little pup moved slowly away from the male, tail wagging behind her as she tried to move silently behind a small bush. His voice caused her head ti turn, mismatched eyes focusing on him when he had laughed, nodding her head when he said a secret mission. She had turned her head back around, using her paws to move some branches out of the way to look at the path ahead of her, no treasure here. With a light sigh she dropped her paws to the ground, but remained low, making her way back over to the male. That was when he got low to the ground beside her, telling her he knew of a treasure she could give her mother. The girl's ears perked up at this, lips pulling back in a toothy grin as her eyes grew bright. Really? Mister! She beamed, her tail now wagging like crazy as she waited for him to tell her where or at least show her. When he did tell her, over by the water where he was resting, were some colorful flowers, her head immediately shot in the direction he had gestured towards. With an excited yip the little pup bounded forward, hopping much like a rabbit through the vegetation, passing a few trees. Mister! Hurry, help me find the prettiest one! She barked over her shoulder just as she hopped right into a large cluster of them and vanished. "normal, talk, think, you"

He kept a careful eye on the pup, watching her every move. He knew no parent would be comfortable with his or her child wandering alone, unprotected. He didn't want anything to happen while he was here to protect her from harm. Her enthusiasm was infectious, brightening his mood with every moment. He followed behind her, glad to be able to watch over and help her in her mission at the same time, but he let her get enough distance so she wouldn't get annoyed with him being such a "grown-up" and try to run away. He waited until she had plunged into the flowers to go in after her, careful not to wait too long and lose her completely.



Carefully moving flowers aside, Seraphim made sure he had an eye on the pup once again before looking through the foliage for the perfect one. Forest green orbs fell upon a pristine lily the color of a sunset - pinks fading into yellows and oranges on the petals. A smile lit his face and his tail swayed gently as he called to the pup. Little lady, over here. He waited for her to come to him before gesturing to the flower before him. Do you think that this would work?

The little pup hopped through the field of flowers, the only way to know she was still in it was the bobbing of her black head. Her mismatched eyes were constantly moving, trying to find the perfect flower for her mother. She was hoping to find one the color of her fur, but if she couldn't find one like that then she would take the next best! After a few moments though she grew frustrated, none of the flowers were able to match the color of her mother's fur. She sighed heavily, her tail dropping behind her ad head low, but the sudden call of the man caused her to perk up, bounding through the flowers and coming to a stop beside him. Do you think that this would work? Her gaze followed his, falling upon a flower the color of a sunset. The little pup's eyes grew large, her tail shooting up and wagging like ad behind her. It's perfect! Mother will love this! She barked with a large grin, pressing her body against his leg. Thank you mister! She said before jumping at the flower, bending her head and carefully pulling it out of the ground. What's your name Mister? She just remembered she did not ask for his name and that he did not tell her, she would like to know it in case they met again. "normal, talk, think, you"

The pup's excitement caused Seraph to grin as he watched her bounce around the flowers in search of her perfect gift for her mother, then bound in his direction toward the one he had found. He found himself feeling proud that he was able to help her out and that she was so happy with the result. Idly, Seraphim wondered with doubt if he would ever feel such pride in pleasing another adult. He never had, and probably never would. Only children made him feel so pure and good inside.



I'm glad you like it, Seraph replied, briefly nuzzling the top of her head in a friendly manner as she fell against his leg. My name is Seraphim. What is yours? He was glad she had asked him - he hadn't even thought to bring the subject up. He directed his gaze at the sun above for a moment, noticing that time seemed to have slipped away from him. He would have to offer to escort the lass back home soon, so that her mother wouldn't worry.





ooc;; Sorry, Raii is lacking muse so much right now.

The pup giggled as the man nuzzled the top of her head, lifting it when he pulled away, nipping at his legs playfully. Ears perked up when he told her his name then asked what hers was. With a flick of her tail the pup moved away from him, setting her flower carefully down on the ground before lifting her her head and looking up to the sky. Mama has not given me a name yet. She said she is waiting for a good one. She told him, turning her head to smile at him over her shoulder. A mischievous smile crossed her face though, body lowering to the ground, rump higher than her shoulders and tail wagging behind her. Slowly she began to creep towards him, plainly in his view. She felt like playing before she brought the pretty treasure to her mother. "normal, talk, think, you"

Seraphim pondered what it might mean that her mother hadn't yet named her. She wasn't a very young pup anymore, she should have a name by now. The brute couldn't quite put a claw on it. He simply smiled in acknowledgement. I'm sure she has a perfect reason for waiting. You'll probably have the most beautiful name in the world after so much thought! He couldn't tell if the girl was bothered by lacking a name, but he certainly didn't want her to be.



If she had been bothered, she recovered quickly. Apparently, she wanted to play a game of sorts. The pup was now stalking him in plain view, but he pretended not to see. He turned his head to the sky, feigning searching for birds. He would let the lass have her fun before he walked her back to her home. It would be cruel of him not to. I wonder where that girl went, he murmured, intending to instigate a bit.
