Lift Me Up

Dagger found himself wandering away from Celestial for the first time since he'd arrived to the pack. After spending a good few weeks being sick he was finally over it and definitely wanted to stretch his legs. Unused muscles begged for some extra attention so he loped from the plains. The hot wind in his face and the sun beating down on his back was a refreshing change for him and he didn't care that his dark pelt felt like it was on fire. More than anything he felt like he was free. He'd seen enough of Celestial's territory to know it like the back of his own paw and he wanted something fresh and new. He knew traveling too far away from the pack meant that he might miss something important. So the large male stuck to the western side of Boreas just in case something happened. He was especially eager for the legionary test. He wanted to pester Regulus for it soon so he could earn his rank, but until then he was going to wait patiently. In the mean time he slowed from his lope as he entered a valley. He'd never been here before, but the sight the greeted him was a nice one. Scents of prey were abundant and luscious fields seemed to be faring much better than other areas he had seen. He'd purposefully avoided the desert as it hadn't offered the same view as this valley. He could easily pick up the scent of water which meant there was a stream or a river nearby. Overall he was pleased with his find. So deciding to take a break he flopped to his belly and then rolled over to his side and laid his head in the cool grass. He was pretty sure he was hidden from anyone unless the walked right up on him, but he didn't care much for hiding himself. He just wanted to relax. Walk, "Talk" Think |

How did I let you slip through the cracks? How did I let you stab me in the back? You were my brother, you were my friend, I pray, "no salvation for you in the end". These lands were by far warmer than the first lands that he had found himself wandering through upon his arrival here. It had been far too cold for the pale male. This place, he thought, as ocean blue optics glance about all the green foliage that this place had to offer, is much better. Warmer.Of course, he'd been in warm places before, but those days were darker. He couldn't remember too much. A gentle touch, a hushed breath of endearment against his ears... His heart clenched, audits pressing tightly against his cranium as lips pursed tightly together. Betrayal, abandonment... The male winced as pain ricocheted through his cranium, causing him to stop and shake his head from side to side. He couldn't recall what it was that these bits and pieces of memories were from, but he knew that it hurt him each time that they began to bubble to the surface. If he tried to remember too much at the same time he would end up with a migraine that wouldn't go away until he slept it off. Sometimes, not even that was enough. He took a deep breath, and tried to focus on something other than his pounding head. Ocean blue optics glanced around his surroundings, taking the time to focus on the sun that was beating down on his saddled back. There was a faint breeze that brushed against him, catching the loose tendrils of hair that was anchored to various places of his coat. The grass was brushing against his lower belly, and legs, catching with the silky tendrils of his coat. He inhaled deeply, those ocean blue orbs closing for a brief moment before he opened them once again. When he felt as if he had himself stable enough he took a step forward starting with his left front leg. Casthiel pushed on through the tall grasses, his cranium stooping to sniff here and there. Perhaps he could find something interesting to d-- Oof! The male blinked as a shape came into view before him, and he had to leap over the prone male to avoid stepping or tripping on him. He landed swiftly, and wheeled about on his hind legs to regard his would be victim of negligence. "Pardon me, I didn't see you there!" He breaths, feeling a blush start to form over his cheek bones and down to his collarbone. How embarrassing was it to nearly trample over someone who was laying there? He must really have his head up his ass... Walk, "Now you're just a memory" in my past is where you will stay Someone like you, is gonna die alone |

Dagger had managed to doze off a bit. The grass felt good beneath him and even the sun stopped feeling so harsh as he let the world fade out around him. He'd just fallen asleep before the thundering of something large-ish jumping over him startled him awake. Surprised and very shaken up, he leapt to his feet and looked around him until he turned to look at a cream colored male. The male had already whirled around to meet him and was already spouting out an apology. Dagger would look him over and notice almost the lack of markings on him save the brown and then the bright blue eyes. He could see that he was embarrassed and Dagger found himself grinning. The male hadn't trampled him so there had been no harm done. Other than being sacred out of his skin he felt great. "Don't worry about it. I suppose I chose a really awful sleeping spot." He said with a chuckle. "I'm Dagger by the way." Walk, "Talk" Think |
