(I love his accent! Eeeee!! Country?)The stranger had been about to speak when he heard Dixie, his gaze moving to her. He even smiled gratefully, dipping his head lightly. "Glad ya think so, miss," he uttered. The patrol dogs didn't seem to agree, though, snarling at his every movement. Cerise looked to Dixie fondly, and it occurred to her that perhaps she had jumped to a conclusion based on this stranger's appearance. She was ashamed that she had, but let it pass, knowing that it was simply a result of Teal's evil deeds. "Please speak," she said, her reddish-brown eyes falling on the stranger again.
The stranger cleared his throat a bit, obviously a bit nervous by the attention he was receiving. "Aye, well, I s'ppose I been on me own fer too long. Di'n't even notice yer border, ma'am." He sighed lightly, shaking his head. "Been lookin' fer a pack, though, ma'am, and ya got yerself a fine one 'ere. I'd be glad ter make up fer me mistake if'n I'd be allowed ter stay?" he said calmly, looking up at Cerise hopefully.
Cerise gave him a sympathetic look. Now that the stranger had had the chance to explain himself, she fully agreed with Dixie. This was not an evil dog. As a matter of fact, though she barely knew him, she already felt like she could trust him. But she noticed the tenseness of her pack, and she knew she would have to keep them happy as well. She gave a curt nod. "I will give you a week to prove you are safe. You are to be guarded by a patrol at all times. Is that clear?"
Nodding, the stranger smiled up at the Alpha dog. "O' course, ma'am," he replied. Shuffling his paws somewhat shyly, he looked around, wondering who would be guarding him--or more accurately, guarding the pack from him, he corrected inwardly. He smiled, though it held a note of sadness. This was his burden, looking the way he did.
(Well, it took you about nineteen minutes to write that post and that's a long enough period of inactivity for it to say you're offline; I've done that before, too!)((Strange... It says I'm offline...ETA: Okay, nevermind, now it says I'm online.

(Okay, goodnight! I need to head to bed, too, so that was perfect timing.)((Alright, well it's 1:30 am here and I'm exhausted! See you tomorrow! Good night!))
Dixie smiled. "It's nice to meet you, Jiyaken." Dixie replied with a warm, calm voice. "And, you're most welcome; I couldn't keep myself from piping up, anyways," she added jokingly.
The pups hid behind Dixie's legs, and, finally, Raven hissed to Jade and Minty, "I'ma bite his tail," in a voice just audible enough for the pups to hear but not for the adults. She snuck around the side of the den, cautious and careful, and looked at the dog's tail as though it were a ribeye steak. Then, she clamped her jaws down on it and sank her little needle teeth in, though they wouldn't do much more than pinch real good.
Jade had to fight to keep from giggling as he watched.
(I haven't seen Harry Potter (yet!) but I definitely have heard of it. Is Jiyaken from Harry Potter, or is he an original character? And, that's okay, that the post took so long. I hope it's okay that Raven just bit Jiyaken's tail!
Oh, and, on another subject, I was noticing that the Beta position is now up for grabs, since Steel's dead. Could I possibly... Have that position?)
Quote: Raven shuffled her paws embarrassedly, her ears drooping with guilt. Not meeting the old dog's gaze, she mumbled, "I'm sowwy," then scampered behind Mystery and hid in the plumy fur of his tail. Meanwhile, Jade had appeared from behind Dixie and was looking up at Jiyaken, blinking innocently.
"Wow... You're really big. Are you a giant?" he asked, staring boldly up at his father's friend and wagging his tail in a gesture of friendliness. Dixie had to chuckle at that comment, knowing that some dogs were just larger than others. She licked Mystery on the cheek, then sat down and leaned against him, smiling.
(I still love him! EE! He's so funny and sweet, like an old man!
Oh, and, yeah, this Beta will be very trustworthy. Is it okay if it's a girl Beta? She's going to be tied into the plot/mystery that I came up with yesterday! Heehee, you've inspired me and I spent all of yesterday brainstorming and jotting down notes for this plot.)
Quote: Rowan sighed and sat down. "It's a long story..." he said with a shake of his head.
Almaz nodded, then swung a paw in the direction of her dens, a tabe of stone sectioned off to create multiple dens. "Right there," she said.
(FOUND THE POST!!! XD)
