I am not...well I sorta was, but I am here! I really am!....Seriously!

Just alot of the threads have...not been going anywhere as of late.

Nah, we dont eat people <Forest Shadow, Winter's companion rolls her eyes> She doesnt count, you know she is crazy....

I hope to RP with you soon!

((This needed a responce besides Tay bumping it.))

Winter sat near the entrance to the Hole in the Wall, talking with Forest as he ran his blade over with the whetstone, the soft sound of stone over metal calming after he had trained for a few hours with another of the younger wolfkin. Forest lay not too far from him, chewing on a small rabbit that she had hunted down earlier while she had waited for him to be finished with his training, she had mused that rather like the older sister she was that he had missed lunch because of his training. He had laughed at that and had gotten himself a few rolls to snack on while he waited for the stew that was cooking inside to be finished for dinner.

It had become a daily ritual as of late, practicing for the morning and then grabbing some food at the Hole, then wandering the Stedding as he explored the area he now lived in. As he thought about this a comment drifted from Forest and he returned to the present.

"What did you say sister?" He sent to her, more of a picture of a wolf's ears perking up as if to listen.

"I said, there is a strange scent on the wind." She sent back, a picture of herself sniffing the air as the leaves drifted past. "Were you not listning?"

"I was listning sister, but my mind was elsewhere." He replyed, in truth his mind had started to drift due to being tired and hungry.

"Thinking about finding a house of your own?" She asked, looking up at him with her golden eyes, the question clear in both her sending and her eyes. "Because we cannot park ourselves in the den of others for much longer, no matter how kind they are. We need to find a den of our own, where we can perhaps offer shelter for those who are newer then us to the Stedding."

Winter smiled at her, and was about to respond when he smelled something. It had been there since Forest had spoken about it, but he had not payed the strange scent any notice, but not it was growing stronger and seemed to be growing closer. He looked at Forest, and she looked at him, both of them standing up at the same time, sword and rabbit forgotten. Winter sheathed his blade and walked forward, Forest at his side with ears perked forward attempting to catch the sound of footsteps.

Shortly there after Winter saw a large man, whom he recognized as Burrich, leading other men. They all looked nervouse, but Winter could not tell why as they were all armed and carried themselves in the same way he had often seen his older brothers carry themselves. All of them had the look of soldiers in hostile territory though, like wolves trapped between a rock and a hard place, and as they drew near Winter understood why. They were male channelers, he had heard rumors of them, both form those inside the Stedding and from before he had met Forest.

A small smile dawned on his face, not an unkind one but one that showed he understood a little. They could not channel here, and were nervous as most likely did not know the Wolfkin, and for that they were afraid.

"As well they should be." Forest said from beside Winter, "From the thoughts and memories that sturr in your mind as they pass they have much to be worried about."

"And not just from us sister." Winter said softly in his mind, a picture of a wolf watching with his pack from a high place, as human hunters walk towards the herd of deer that the pack had been aiming to hunt.

They watched the men walk past, and followed after them, a sense of curiousity instilled in Winter and Forest. What could they be here for? More imporantly, what were they like? It was not every day that one ran into a group of male channelers in your home.

Winterwinds and Forest Shadow.

~Curious.

Its ok, trust me there really hasn't been much of anything going on in the longest time.

<Is tossed in by his wolf companion, and rolls to a stop a few feet infront of Tay>

Present :D

((Being the crazy fool I am, and having been...incredibly inactive on dragonmount for ages, I cannot believe this is still here, and cannot help but ask if anyone wants to pick it back up?))

So quiet.

Define "Back" we are all kind of in a constant staste of flux here, the Stedding is kin d oin a rutt so to speak...<Looks at Tay with a look of "Its yourt turn btw" look> So no pressure :D

WElcome :) It is good to see new members about!

<Comes in with a fingure in his ear> Light above Tay, do you have to do that everytime?

<Looks around, notices the new person and turns to flee, only to be dragged back by his wolf companion and dumped on the floor>

.....

Right, joke saide welcome back :D I hope to be able to RP with you in the future!

I posted.

Winter looked up as the door to the Hole opend and admited a rather soaked Ryha, he was taken slightly aback by her being soaking wet. She looked around the room slowly, as if searching for somehting, until her gaze fell on Winter and Forest, and she started off towards them. A small knot formed in Winter's chest for a moment, she looked determened about something, and what ever it was it had made her brave the rain to find him.

"Winter! The very person. You're not busy are you?" She said rather hurriedly, he opened his mouth to say no but she kept on going, "Of course you're not. Come with me.... bring Forest too. You have to see this." Her tone left no room for arguement, so he stood, rather slowly as he was sore, but before he was even halfway out of his chair she grabbed him by the arm and literally dragged him through the room and to the door. Forest ran after him and Rhya, a look of concern and shock on her muzzle. They were outside and into the rain before Winter was able to collect himself and pull his arm from his friend's grip.

"Its perfect, just what we need. We'll have to find some wood of course and do some repairs but I'm sure the others will help too." She looked behind her, "Oh do hurry up, its not like you to dawdle!"

"Rhya!" He said, with more force then he normaly would, "What is going on?" Forest added to this with a low, deep throated growl. It wasnt a threat, but more of an agreement with Winter.

"Don't stop, come on. We haven't got all day." she said looking back at him, "You've got to see what I found, before the light fades. It's worth it, I promise!" He opend his mouth to ask for more information but she went right on going, "No time for explanations..." And she was off again, leaving Winter and Forest no choice but to follow.

"Hmm, this should be good," Forest said as they ran.

"I hope it is, because that soup was rather good." Winter replied.

"Always thinking from your stomach, brother?" Forest said with a chuckle, only to have it halted when her own stomach growled.

"Looks like I am not the only one. After this we will go hunting perhaps, seeing as we are already out in the rain." Forest smiled at this, she loved hunting with Winter, showing him he didn't know everything.

Praise the Light :D

Well, right now I have a thread going down in the steadding that is called "In the Hole" I think, and can be joined by anyone, it is simply my answer to the lack of activity down there. Simply just get people Rping and see what happens :)

It doesnt matter what character you bring, the thread really has no impact on anything, it is simply just an evening in the hole talking with people from around the steading.

O.O OMFG TAY!

I cannot even start to say how sorry I am for you! I mean, I have never had any close friends pass but it would absolutly break my heart if someone close to me died like that!

Take your time, and do not feel pressured to reply to what I have writen, you dont even need to jump in as I have a feeling your mind right now is scattered to the four winds.

I seem to be writing alot of posts to this effect lately on fourms, but once more I shall say my prayors, good energy, and thoughts go the way of you, and your friends family. I pray he/she has gone on to a better place and looks down on you now as you read this post.

Light stand beside you, and may the wolves howl a mournful call to mark this passing.

~Winterwinds.

Winterwinds and Forest are sitting it the Hole In the Wall waiting for someone to join them :P No one wants to RP with me even though we have little to no activity right now, the Stedding has become a ghost town ._. I think everyone is busy with school and work which is ok, but still.

Take your time, both of you. Just dont take too long, me and Forest are lownly :(

Thread posted, feel free to jump in, forgive the out of practiceness.

(I will warn you now, I am rusty on my WK. But, I have seen this place sit quiet for way too long!)

Winter sat in a chair at a table in the corner of the Hole in the Wall, a slightly smile on his face as he talked with his wolf companion Forest next to him. It had been a long day of sword practice, and his arms were sore to the point that he would rathern not have to use them. Sadly for him, the inn keeper had noticed this and put a mug of ale and a bowl of some of his stew infront of Winter.

"Why do you torture yourself like that Brother?" Forest asked for the third time that hour as Winter grimaced as he reached for his mug.

"Like what?" Winter responded with a slight chuckle which was dampend by a groan as he wraped his hand around the mug's handle.

"You know, why do you continue to use that bundle of reeds to hit that training dummy, it serves no real goal." Winter laughed at this, but was cut short by a growl from Forest, it was a playful growl but it held a tone of worry.

"I want to get stronger, and it is the only way I know how." He said in all seriousness. He had watched his brothers train thusly back in the Border lands, and he figured that he could do the same. Alright, he had been the bookworm of the family, and had looked more like a bundle of reeds then the practice sword when he had first come here. That was changing slowly at least, a few weeks ago he wouldn't be sitting here in the Inn, he would of been back at the house he was currently boardeing at, sleeping or attempting to sleep.

He was about to tell Forest as much when the door opend letting a breeze of cool air in with it.

That and I am out of practice on my WK xD

Well, at this point I am tempted just to make one where Winter is just hanging around the Hole in the Wall, since right now alot of people are away or just inactive due to real life so nothing major can really happen.

Dont know yet though so I will think on it.

If I started a thread would anyone jump in? Or would I just talk to myself for like 3-4 pages xDI would you know.

Define here?

Otherwise I am here :D

<Is tossed into the conversation by his wolf companion, the door behind him is promply shut and he turns to try and bang on it. He then notices the new person and turns and smiles>

Umm.....Hi :D

Jokes aside welcome! I look forward to Roleplaying with you...if the quietness of the Wolfkin is over...we are kind of at a standstill Rp wise right now ._.

<Stands at attention and salutes> Be safe in Basic my friend.
