Yo, Pup! [Elliot, Ely, open, afternoon]
By: Elyana Romanov Date: September 21, 2012, 9:46 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
A familiar howl came on the wind to Elliot. He knew that howl,
beyond a single doubt. The silvery voice is more than a little
familiar. Elyana called to him on the wind. And afforded him the
respect of a howl. Said woman waited fairly patiently, and this
time, she didn't hide. Serious face today. Well, sort of.

A short time later, Elliot appeared in the forest answering
Lya's call. Their previous encounter still weighed heavily on
his mind, so he looked at his elder cousin-in-law with
apprehension. Just what could she possibly want with him?
Elliot approaches Lya with a slight hunch, suspicious eyes, and
his hands in his pockets as he opens his mouth to say something
rude. The rude words do not escape him however, as he remembers
who he's talking to and stands up straight and adjusts his tone
before he could offend her. "Normally you wouldn't call me in
this way. Is something going wrong," he asked in a more
respective tone than the one he originally intended to use. He
then watched his cousin-in-law for possible signs of deception
as he awaited her answer.

The No Moon sat on the ground, leaning against a rock and
looking up at the sky, mainly the clouds. "Nope, nothin' wrong,
pup. Have a seat. I won't bite...hard." She murmured before she
brought her gaze back level with his. No deception on her. Just
a rather playful sense of humor.
She waited 'til he sat down before she said anything. Or moved.
She looked for the claw marks on his skin, but wouldn't be
surprised if they were mostly healed. "I won't apologize for the
other day. I will explain. I've never liked that name from
anyone but my father and Gregor. Even less once Gre took off.
From mouths other than Gregor's, it brings back bad memories.
Things I don't care to go into. But it makes me edgy and angry,
now. You ended up on the bad side of that." A hand lifted to
shove her dark hair away from her face.
"That's not the only thing I wanted to talk about. I just
figured that might make you understand, and loosen you back up.
Don't really want ya mad at me. Least not because of that.
Family's family, and all that. I did come around to see if you
wanted to join up with the pack that's forming." The bayou
peeked around the edges of her words, charming in it's fashion.

Elliot's head dropped a bit and he looked annoyed by Lya's
biting joke as he remembered a time where she DID bite him and
it hurt like a b****.... for 3 days straight... but the teen
sighed and followed orders sitting on the ground with his legs
crossed about 5-6 feet away from the No Moon. The claw marks on
Elliot's neck were wrapped up, but there was a lack of blood on
the bandages insinuating that they were at least closed up. The
full extent of how fast they had healed however could not be
seen until the bandages were removed. There were also bandages
wrapping up Elliot's torso that peeked from under his shirts,
but he didn't seem to show any signs of strain from his
cracked/broken ribs.
Elliot then listened to Lya's explanation of what had happened
and, surprisingly, relaxed and seemed to forgive her quickly.
Lya would even feel something like compassion and understanding
from Elliot as though he knew exactly what she was talking
about. It doesn't happen quickly, but Elliot relaxes and lowers
his guard a bit as he decides to trust the No Moon's words...
this time...
Elliot would've apologized also, but then he'd heard Lya's offer
to join their pack and blinked, a look of utter shock and
disbelief plastered on his face. He quickly scanned his memories
and couldn't once remember a time where his cousins had invited
him to do something with them without some kind of catch, so he
was immediately skeptical again when he heard this offer. In
fact, he found it kind of humorous that Lya would think he would
fall for such a thing again, and couldn't help but laugh out
loud at the thought of her being stupid enough to think he
would.
"Me? Join YOUR pack? HA! Yeah, that's rich! So what's the prank
this time? Gonna have me steal some cookies for you and not
share them again? Or are you going to have me get caught getting
something out of the girl's shower room for you again? Come to
think of it, I can't believe how I fell for this stuff before!
You know what, I'm gonna go before I end up in another dress!"
As Elliot ends his rant, he begins to stand, still chuckling in
disbelief as he seems ready to dismiss Lya's offer as a joke and
leave.

One of her brows arched as she watched the pup catalogue all the
stupid things he'd been lured into doing. "Pup, you're gonna
piss me off. Sit." There's a bit of bark to those words. Alpha
female on the ball. "Now, I know I've never invited you into
somethin' like this. So, how ya gonna think I'm lyin' about it?
I might play with a lotta things, but pack ain't never gonna be
one of 'em." Elyana got to her feet with an agile sort of grace.
She paced a little, more from excess energy than agitation, as a
look at her face reveals. "Kiddo, there's a lot of bad things
that have happened here for us shifters. You don't change, but
you have our blood. And you might change later, who knows?
Either way, they're killin' us. Five of ours are gone, one of
them a subclan like you.
I know I've messed with ya in the past, but I've also pulled
your butt out of the sling quite a few times. Kept a lot of the
big dogs off your back when I could. Made sure they didn't treat
the mutt like fodder. I'm still lookin' after you. You'll be
safer with us. And you'll get stronger with us, more so than
without. We know what you can do. And we know how to train you
up. Just remember that before you spit my offer back in my
face." Her mys had become mahs. Dogs became dawgs. Yep, Lousiana
bred and born. Those golden eyes had settled on Elliot's. No lie
in them. Looked like Ely had grown up in the time he'd been
gone.

In spite of himself, Elliot immediately STFUed and sat down when
Lya told him to. After all this time he STILL couldn't really
stand up to her as was evident when he didn't make a snappy
comeback like he usually would when she said "So, how ya gonna
think I'm lyin' about it?"
Elliot blinks and tenses up as Lya stands up and begins pacing
until he realizes that she wasn't angry, but energized. At that
point, he relaxes again, but looks at her strangely as her
accent drifts more and more towards her Louisiana roots. His
concern about her accent however, was immediately eradicated as
Lya explained the current situation and state of their clans and
listened silently until she finished with a serious look on his
face. Once she was finished, Elliot was looking down at her feet
blushing in embarrassment at his own behavior. What she said was
right; when he thought about it, his cousins had helped him MUCH
more than they had hurt him. They weren't exactly best friends
due to their positions in the clan, but they did look out for
him and took care of him, as they were trying to do now, if he'd
let them. After a few moments of him being unable to look at her
due to shame, Elliot eventually looked up and caught her eye.
Seeing no lies in them only helped him solidify his decision
even more.
"I see... sorry for not believing you, and for everything else.
I'd be happy to join the pack," he said smiling at her in
earnest. Elliot didn't realize it at the time, but a single tear
escaped his right eye and rolled down his cheek as the thought
of being accepted and acknowledged after all this time made him
feel happy from the core of his being. In fact, his happiness
seemed to be strangely infectious as there was no other reason
for Lya to feel the random warm, happy feeling that was now
invading her body. The feeling was only there for a moment
though before Elliot blinked in confusion as he remembered some
of the other things Lya said to him.
"Wait... I might be able to change? And some of us have already
been killed? Wait, that's more important! Who all is gone!?" The
happy feeling Elliot was exuding was now gone as a look of worry
replaced the smile on Elliot's face.

Once again that brow arched, her mouth quirking slightly. "Ah,
glad to see you decided to join the conversation with something
useful. Yeah, kiddo. It's why I'm here. The Council convened.
Sent me here to figure out why our people our dyin'. Your aunt,
Gregor's mother, is dead. Same people, but that was back home."
Ely's face went cold for just a second as she mentioned the
death that had hit close to home for the both of them. She'd
been close to Maria. More so even than her mother.
"Here, there have two clans that have lost people. Red Sunrise
and White River. Red Sunrise lost the Alpha's daughter. I found
Celie's trail up on the mountain, and it just disappeaared.
Don't go up there alone. I'll beat the hell out of you myself if
I find out you have. Something plucked her up like it was
nothing." That fact still riled the hell out of Elyana. She
shoved her hand thorugh her dark hair roughly out of sheer
frustration. And then she registered something.
"Your clan didn't tell you you might shift? The hell were they
thinkin'? Sonofa-" She swore, scrubbing a hand over her face.
"Yeah, you might shift. You don't have strong rage, same way I
don't. I changed early cuz I'm full blood. But you might not
change 'til your twenties. Or when someone pisses you off
royally. And then people can die, if you're not with us." She
told him. The hell were his people thinking, not telling him
this?

Elliot's eyes widened as Lya explained the situation to him. He
couldn't believe so many people of high status in the clan were
killed so easily. Though he didn't exactly like the clans as a
whole due to the mistreatment he'd seen the lower clans face, he
still had pride for his clan and these offenses against it
pissed him off to the point that he almost shook with rage.
Especially when he thought about the death of Aunt Maria. "I'll
kill them all!!!" He thought as he thought of his aunt. He
didn't remember her well since his family eventually moved away
from the main clans, but he DID remember that his aunt was a
kind person and that his dad called his sister often to keep in
touch with her. The fact that she was gone now grew to be too
much as Elliot began to wipe away the tears streaming from his
eyes. "...How is Gregor handling all this?" He started to ask,
but was cut off as Lya went off about his clan not telling him
he could change.
At that, Elliot blinked and tilted his head in confusion. "I
always thought that my clan simply couldn't do it. Are you sure
I chan shift Lya-chan?" Elliot asked her in confusion.

Elyana shook her head slightly. "He's handling it as well as can
be expected. He was close to his mother." She sat next to Elliot
in a still graceful slump. Her hand automatically moved to his
shoulder to offer a bit of comfort. This close, she sniffs him
lightly, checking with her nose how far his healing progressed.
Their claw and teeth damage tended to heal slow.
Ely's scent settled around them. Freshly rained over forest.
"Yeah, pup. We've had it happen before. I'm so tired of this
close mouthed thing that people have goin' on. It makes me
crazy. You might shift, darlin'. I'm not sayin' it's for sure,
but ya might."

Elliot looked off to the side and nodded feeling sorry for his
cousin and his family. Heck, the clan in general! He almost
didn't notice as Lya sat down next to him and put her hand on
his shoulder to comfort him. At first, his hand automatically
began to move to take hers, but it immediately stopped itself
looking like no more than a twitch. Elliot then blinked as he
heard her sniff and turned his head towards her to shoot her a
weird glance. He then opened his mouth to ask if she was
alright, but the words didn't come out as he noticed Lya's scent
in the air.
He had no way to prepare himself, the teen quickly turned away
again to hide the small, but still noticeable blush that
appeared on his face. "Y-yeah, sounds good. I hope I do--," he
says, but then he frowns a bit and looks back at Lya, the blush
already mostly gone as he noticed another thing she had said.
"Wait, 'closed-mouth thing'?"
