I'll be keeping the story for my beta lamia, Aeonus, here. Please don't post without PM-ing me first. Notes on the Packleaders I need to eventually get clarified botticelliangel (Oooh. I like Aeonus already. XD; *waves hello to Ivynian as she plops in...onto Shadow* 4laugh As a note, I believe the idea with halfbreeds is that they obey both of the alpha/beta pairs that they are a hybrid of. ^^ Which makes sense, no?)

My entry to be elligible for bidding: Quote: prompt RolePlay Prompt Wrote: Two members of your pack are picking a fight with a new member of the pack and are trying to draw others into it. It is the job of the pack leaders to keep these situations under control and end them as quick as you can. RP out what you would do to settle this fight. The racket was ridiculous. Through the screen of his bangs Aeonus eyed the portal out of the den. The miasma were interrupted by the occassional thrumming of bone against rock. it must be Ghariu's tail. At least one of the raised voices sounded like his. Setting his scroll and brush down with deliberate pause, Aeonus listened. "By all means, Ghariu, let me make room for your royal highness. never mind that the rest of us would prefer to remain as we are and enjoy the warmth of the sun. Remain here at the den that kept us safe for longer then one alpha's reign. Do we all here this? Our new prince wants more water and more prey. let us go, go and find them for him! " That was Erubin's forked tongue lashing about the pack. Aeonus could almost feel the air move as the brazen gamma would have set his hand to his hip in a controposto lean. Ghariu's rattles thrummed against the rock again, his distressed huff sounding along the passage. "Come now, Ghariu. he's just being honest. He is Aeonus' new favourite. We all gave at least a bag of gold from the coffers to the Scarlet Enclave for him. He's the finest whipling from that brood. a fitting mate. So why shouldn't the little princess want the best? Don't you all agree? Come, let's give the princess some more water and jewels." Rifu's gravelled coos. It was going to get nasty. The others' scales shifted over the marble patio outside, and the packs voices jeered. This disobedience at his choice was at best unwise. Aeonus gathered his coils beneath himself and rose, shifting his tail from a lazy slow wave to a quick lashing speed. The break of su over his pale face blocked his sight for a few seconds, then the pack materialized. Rifu was tangled with Ghariu, dragging the dull edge of a gold bracelet along to shred open his delicate skin. Three of their own yearling had brought up pitchers and a basin to half drown the new acquisition in. Aeonus lifted his hand to the sky, his voice echoing out like thunder through their minds as his lips did not move, " BE STILL! " Even strong Erubin's hands shot to his ears, his brow furrowing with pain. "Break thee off. Should any take action now, your will shall be met with flame and melt as glass under my gaze. " Aeonus slowly pulled his fingers together into a fist. "Would you challenge me, Rifu?" The melanistic lamia slowly unwound his tail from the young prize. He glared up through his heavy lashes, "no ...no lord. I do not challenge you." Aeonus grinned, beckoning Ghariu to his side. There was an unspoken end to his gamma�s thought. * I do not challenge you...yet*

001 - Fallen
------------------------------------------
The stentch of urine permeated the whole cart. It was reined in by the canvas cover that blocked out the world as it passed over unseen roads. The canvas also kept in the heat of the all the bodies for sale, the smell of sweat, the heat from the sunlight and the body odor of the cartmaster as the thin breeze blew the scent of him back into the cages.
Aeonus shifted a little, hearing thunder beginning to roll in a distant sky somewhere outside of the dim harvest gold lit universe he was currently locked in. Rain would be welcome; a storm would wash the cartmaster off. If the rain were steady and hard, it would wash the grime out of the eight or so iron cages piled into the covered cart.
Luck was somewhat with him, fickle enough to have let him be captured rather then to die, and his cage was on the top level. He was stacked above a cozy pair of albino nekojin. His left hand neighbor was a litter of tigers that were above an unlucky elf girl. The poor thing huddled down as close to the wooden floor of the cart as she could to avoid the claws of the curious hunting cats.
He was the only lamia in the caravan of slavers, and he would bring them a pretty price. The rival coven, some ten rattle-taileds, had caught his small family unawares and slew them all. His home had been a stately set of marble ruins on a rocky coast. The grapes had grown wild there, rabbits and fish were plentiful, and they'd had little need of hunting humans. Now it belonged to a stronger coven, and the weak and placent had perished.
Some lightening flashed near, sending tremors of sound through the earth and spooking the cart oxen. Aeonus shifted his coils in anticipation.

RP_003 Welcome to the Shop Ivynian ::drags Aeonus into the shop to one of the couches:: "It's about time you socialized some." Ivynian (( Only sometimes....the shyness, it kills )) Aeonus: *eyes the goings on suspisciously*Valeria ((*chucks Ryuichi in and watches him tackle Aeonus* XD Gotta love the hyper bunny of doom.)) The Lost Lenore ((Ly: *looks at the beta lamia* do you eat babies just like the alpha? O_o *bites back the urge to giggle* Ly, Nykoa doesnt eat babies, its a joke, you know this so hush ^^;; )) Skysong Keitra Maki: *nods* Perhaps if you'd have not tickled me, she'd have not smacked into a wall *giggles and stops in midgiggle, looking over at Aeonus* omgosh....a lamia with a demon and angel wing.......he's either my Alpha or Beta. *Squees* Ivynian (( hyper bunny....of doom?)) Aeonus: *turns gaze to other Lamia* "What are you looking at?"Skysong Keitra Maki: *squeeks and lowers himself into his coils, his eyes and top of his head, along with the horns are all that one could see that was human of him, other than that he looked like a massive snake* N-nothing sir. Nothing at all. Shadow_windstars ((Aure: *Looks at the Lamia* Does it matter what we're looking at?)) Skysong Keitra Maki: *squeeks again and statches Aures' arm, pulling him down some* Please don't provoke him...I don't wanna get on the bad side of my superiors. I've learned that lesson many years ago. Ivynian Aeonus: "You ahould know better then to look directly at your betters, Little Scale, " he hissed acidly. But what of the rabbit? Touching him without permission! "Get off of me, furball." Valeria Ryuichi blinked, looking up at Aeonus with large blue eyes. "Ryu not furball." He says, lower lip poking out.~*~ Shadow_windstars Aure:*Falls to his knees* He's not my alpha or beta. I don't have any. *WHich could be true considering he was a half breed. He laid his hand on Maki hand* You alright? What happened? Ivynian Aeonus: "Considering your distinct lack of scales, and those ridiculous ears, you are. " He squirmed out from under the cute thing before teh waterworks started out of the large eyes. "You don't just randomly hug people. I don't even know your damn name." Skysong Keitra Makaiha glances back at his better, his entire form shivering slightly. "I was m-merley curious, sir." he mumbles before glancing up at Aure and hissing to him, "Since he isn't your better, and if he somehow doesn't like you for whatever you do, he could take it out on me, after all. I am merley a toy compared to him." he shudders, his eyes flicking back to the Beta.
Valeria Ryuichi blinks, then scoots away from the obviously unhappy lamia, his stuffed pink rabbit now clutched in his arms. "Ryuichi Sakuma..." He says softly, vainly trying to keep from crying at how he was being treated.~*~ Shadow_windstars Aure glared at the Lamia. "If he tries to hurt you; I will just hurt him. My wings can hurt you knowm," he hissed back. Being order about always rubbed him the wrong way. "I'll behave so you don't get into trouble alright." He lowered his eyes. "As much as I don't want to." Ivynian Aeonus: "Lucky I don't squelch your prideful indignance this moment....the weaker shall kneel, or they will be dualy seen to." He glared over at Ryuichi, "Well, I guess you can be civilized. Knock off the tears, fluffy, I'm not your sugar daddy and I don't feel bad for making you act proper." Valeria Ryuichi's head whips up at Aeonus' latest talking to him. "Ryu never called snake-man his sugar daddy." He said, glaring. "Ryu was just.... trying to be friendly." He curls up in a little ball, stuffed rabbit perched on his shoulder now as if it were comforting him. Skysong Keitra Makaiha whimpers slightly, looking at Aeonus. "Please sir, I didn't mean to stare, I was just merley curious to know if you were my Beta or Alpha. I'm sorry sir." he lowers his head, shutting his eyes halfway as he whispered to Aure, "Thank you Aure."*smiles* I kinda like Aeonus. He's a beauty and has a cold touch to him....seems as if Maki doesn't though. Maki: *flicks his eyes to his Mistress, fear flashing behind the blue* Shush! Ivynian Aeonus: "'ryu this, and ryu that'...speak the king's english already you glorified rodent, or don't speak at all. I suppose some bottoms really are meant to be seen not heard." He scowled and curled his tail around himself in a cobra's spiral. The rest of the room seemed just as bleak for meaningful company.
"Why was I brought here again?" He hissed to himself. Shadow_windstars
Aure glazed at his feet a smile on his face. He gave Makaiha shoulder a gently squeeze."Don't worry so much. A friend of mine is the alpha's son. He can't do s**t to you. He's the beta, not your alpha. Nyoka is the alpha." Funny what things came back when you where scared for a friend. Valeria ~*~ Since Aeonus couldn't see Ryuichi's face, he didn't see how the eyes narrowed ever so slightly or how a rather small scowl flitted it's way to his face. His more.... serious personality was starting to take over, starting when he slowly stood up and glared at the lamia. "Why don't you shut your damn pie hole." He said quietly, very seriously. "I doubt anyone here wants to constantly hear the put downs you keep throwing at them." His now serious blue eyes glared over at Aeonus.Ivynian Aeonus: He looked over again, bored. "Serpent's heart be still, you do have some spice in you after all. Too late, regardless fluffy, your already established in the pecking order as an omega. Why don't you go harass someone more willing with your paws....or better yet, go find a carrot and figure out where to bury it."
He eyed the other two again, weighing the words that were passed. He hadn't met this so called 'alpha'. DId the one speak truth, and already had? Was this ny-whatever strong enough to merit bowing to? He would have to see.
But how could he have already mated...and with another? The beta was the second in command...the right hand and enforcer of pack...and these two on inspection were certainly not strong enough to claim the position. He felt confident of at least that much. He was at least strong enough to hold that much in sway. But to admit something so simple? Regardless, he had to know. "You've met the Lamia alpha?" Skysong Keitra
Maki manages to make a mewling sound of relief, "Thank god he's not the Alpha, but he's still got power over me Aure. And he's mean."Shadow_windstars ((Aure protecting Maki who is a Lamia.^^))
Aure nodded. "I know his son Jokull. Kul a crossbreed like me and is part coon," he said rather proud of his cross heritage. He had the best of bothwords well a little more fox then angel. The heavy metal wings would not allow him to fly. "I've met Nyoka when I was a baby, I think." He certainly knew Jokull since childhood. They where childhood friends. He stroaked Maki hand comforting.
((I love the head pic of Aeonus. ^^ He's so pretty.)) Valeria ((lmao When Ryuichi is pushed enough, he does go serious. *snuggles de lil uke bunny*))Ryuichi snorted softly in response to Aeonus' latest remark. "Damn snake." He mutters, turning and walking slowly away, his every step making it known that his wasn't the usually cheerful Ryuichi everyone normally saw. THAT persona probably wouldn't come back for awhile. The toy that the childish Ryuichi had carried was hidden away now, nowhere to be found as he leaned against the nearest window sill and looked outside.~*~ ((lol Yeah, Aeonus is a pretty boy. XD *will probably get bitten for that one*)) Ivynian Aeonus: Part...coon? Preposterous! He shifted his coils restlessly. Perhaps his absence had been a greater detriment then he could have predicted.
He woudl have to protect the half-breed though....the son of the alpha was to be protected by the pack. Not that he knew even who his pack was. Was that cowering one a part?
Aeonus frowned, wilting some. He chastized himself under his breath, "I should have been here." Shadow_windstars Aure became a little bolder at the other wilted. "Jokull has sibblings to. I think their a new litter of babies now from Nyoka and his mate." He had forgoten to as Jo who his mother was. He would have to do that when he meet the Lamia coon. Ivynian Aeonus: Enough was enough for now. If he stayed, he'd risk looking weak. In so few minutes he'd already been served enough information to keep him pondering and his stomach in butterflies for hours. Aeonus uncoiled his tail and shifted out from the shop wordlessly.

RP_004 Nykoa? Curiosity Killed the Snake Ivynian Aeonus: Another day, another attempt. His spirit was quieter now, puzzling throughteh labyrinth of clues and minotaurs he'd been presented. A thin dread settled in his stomach as he approached the door to the place. But without answers, he woudl stay in the same predicament.
So he entered again, stayign with his back to the door at first and surveyed the room. Skysong Keitra *tosses Kantos in for the Beta* domokun Kantos wanders downstairs, having wandered in here along some time ago. He scratches his chin and looks about, his ears perking at the sound of Kilians' voice. "Hmm." he shrugs and slips into the kitchen, peering about for a snack, his tail swaying behind him, humming happily.
Ivynian Aeonus: There were more here then before, like to the first time. He didn't risk scannign their names....but some of them smelled different on the tip of his tongue as he licked his lips once.
She retreated to one of the corners with a few loose cushions, curling there where his back was not open to any approach. Skysong Keitra Kantos This one Ivy. *giggles* Kantos continues humming as he shuts the door, chomping down happily on an apple, shutting the fridge door with his foot and heading out to the main area, his eyes scanning about curiously.
Ivynian Aeonus: Another entered from a side door, and aeonus' attention was immediately caught by the movement, a predator on alert. Another Racoon? He hissed to himself, settling again while clicking his teeth once. So many ******** cattle in this place....are there any non-rodents about? Skysong Keitra Kantos blinks, his attention pausing a moment over the naga, he nibbles his apple, shrugging mentally and nearly dropping the fruit as a hand comes out of nowhere to land on his shoulder. "ACK!"Aodoh giggles and steps out of the kitchen, "Why'd you leave me all alone, Kan?" the demon/angel hybrid snakes his arms around the coons waist, nuzzling his neck while his tail twirls itself around the coons' leg. The Lost Lenore Tamaska walked into the store, he had been dealing with teenage kids for the last few days and god he was tired. He realised that they had to be worse then when they were normal but he did love them so he didnt mind. He strightened up his top and pulled his leather trench coat tighter and made his way into the store, finding an empty sofa he walked over to it and sat down, wondering if he should go get something to eat as he was tired. Ivynian Aeonus: Finally, someone with more the posture of self assurance and power he could relate to arrived. He was still...fuzzy....but there were worse things to be counted against others then having fur. At least the claws on his hands spoke promise.
Aeonus reached out with his mind, closing his eyes to focus the effort further.
*THe lone wolf taking a couch to itself?* The Lost Lenore Tama wasnt really paying attention to anyone in the store, he was more busy being bored. He looked over at the table and saw a manga someone had left and decided he would flip through it and so with his mind he concintrated and picked up the manga with his mind and brought it over to him without moving. Tama grabed it when it was within arms reach and read the title of it and notcied it was a manga on inuyasha, a volume he hadnt read and so he started to flip through it.
He really didnt care if he missed half the words or not since he didnt REALLY care about reading it right now, he just wanted something to try and kill his boredom. Ivynian Aeonus: He wasn't, at first certain what to think. Admittedly this was the first time he'd had someone completely not respond. Mindlinks were infallible...unless a psychich wall had been built, but that even was deliberate as being ignored. And the manga? Another user apparently.
And one who dared to just *be*. Existing as much as a lump on the couch.
"Well whythe ******** come to a public place if all you intend to do is be antisocial? Logic need not apply in all minds, apparently, " He hissed acidly.
Was it worth the trouble to teach this one a lesson? Likely not. Irksome, regardless. The Lost Lenore "Tamaska looked up at the other with a raised eyebrow "you know, you might be the beta lamia pack leader and all but you definatly dont have mannors. You would expect someone with your status to treat others who are in your pack or not with being polite and with mannors and respect. No-one is going to want to follow a pack leader who shows no-one respect, you want respect so why not show others the same curtasy and respect?
I am sure if someone spoke to you like that you wouldnt stand for it so why should anyone else stand for it when it comes to you? If you want people to respect you around this place then you should show respect to them as well. Now as for why im in a public place when im being, as you put it, 'anti social' is because I wanted a break from looking after my children. Wether I came here to talk, read or do whatever else that makes me 'antisocial' is none of your concern unless im tearing the shop apart or nnoying someone else or whatever.
Everyone comes here to get away from the troubles of their home life or just to relax and spend time to themselves or what not, I am no different, I came here to relax, get away from looking after two teenagers and just find a bit of solitude for myself which, I might add, YOU are interupting. Now if you have nothing better to do then interupt me and disrespect me then please go away and leave me be." He said in a calm fashion to the lamia and went back to flipping through the manga. Ivynian Aeonus: "So you *can* hear. Well not everything in life is a bouquet, and what the hell woudl you know about how I do or do not treat others? We've passed bare sentences between us now. " He arched a brow, lips pulling in to a sneer, "What my position in any pack is little matter, and leader or not, you should brush up on your Machiavelli dear scholar boy. There's more then democracy and happy feelings as far as philosophy."
Just what he needed...a soliloqy from some self-righteous father with no better intellectualism then a comic. He should have known better then to attempt outside the scales again, considering that Aure. "At your own pleasure then, if you see fit to lecture any fool that deem talk to you, your majesty. " The Lost Lenore "Yes I can hear, im not deaf your know, though right now im wishing I was so I wouldnt have to listen to you" he said rather rudely, not really caring about what he said to this guy now as he had been rude to him first. "And yes, I know there is more then democracy and 'happy feelings' but I came here to get away from people like you and the strife at home and you certainly arnt helping matters. Also, you never 'talked' to me, you were down right RUDE to me. Being rude to someone is NOT talking, I thought you would know that" he said as he put the manga down. "I would of been more then happy to speak to you in a civilzed mannor but you cared to be rude to me so why should I even bother talking to you? It wasnt I who was rude in the first place, it was you, remeber that" he said to the other, seriously starting to get annoyed with this guy. Ivynian Aeonus: "Finishnig school for the father, not for the dunce, friend. You throw accusations like flower petals. 'The lone wolf to a couch' is an observation, neither rude nor kind....it is what is called a introductory comment. Something like an icebreaker, in modern argot. YOu are the one who deliberately ignored the contact. Which is ruder, attempting to meet and talk to someone, or intentional disregard?" The Lost Lenore "If one doesnt hear the words of which one speaks then how is one to know one is talking to him? I however amd not speaking about that, I am talking about you you addressed me when I didnt respond to your 'observation'. Since when, and I quote, is "Well why the ******** come to a public place if all you intend to do is be antisocial? Logic need not apply in all minds, apparently," a nice, polite, respectful and mature way to greet a person?
From what I learnt, that type of 'greeting' was rude, uncalled for and disrespectful, you cant surely say that is a polite way to talk to a person or to greet them." He said to the other, still in a calm fashion. Ivynian Aeonus: "Oh, But I am talking of it. You are a mind-worker....you deliberately ignored the contact, the first stone is yours. Indignance at that rudeness is justifiable in polite society, if perhaps the swear word was not. Moreso...I believe the tone would be construed that my latter coment was not a greeting to you at all. It was a rheorical remark mad eto myself beneath my breath. A hiss. I would ask forgiveness of the language, but the task is still called to you." He waved his hand dismissively, "But let us remain civil...Go back to your leisure, 'Father', and I will not hazard you again." The Lost Lenore "If you wish to know why I ignored you it is because I have been teaching my children how to block others thoughts and speech from their minds all day. I have ESP and so does my mate and children, I came here to get away from troubles at home and to relax, however I was lso bored dispite wanting to just relax and so when that happens I sort of go off into my own 'little world' and just sort of 'ignore' the others around me in a way. I did NOT deliberately ignore you, I closed off my mind to all others thoughts and speech as soon as I sat down because I have been using my mind on overdive ever since early this morning and my mind needed a break." He said in his defence, not wanting some lamia to think he was rude when he wasnt, he just didnt wish to hear others thoughts or speech, is that really such a crime when your mind was well over worked? Ivynian Aeonus: "Did I ask?"
He threw the words over his shoulder as he went. He'd learned at least enough from his keeper to mince words well, it seemed. But the ire was draining, as was the company. A victory for confidence in his skills, but again a loss at no other lamia found.
Perhaps another day.

RP_005 Standing Outside a Closed Door Ivynian Aeonus: He waited outside the door to the shop, hesitant to hazard entering the commons. It was a nice day out, at least, and the view was not terrible. No breathtaking, but enough of an excuse to drag his proverbial feet.
It tasted like there were more then he was accustomed to inside. New ones he hadn't met. His spirit dampened at the prospect of it, and he narrowed his eyes, lashes and eye markings almost a solid black line as he glared at the clouds. botticelliangel ( I'll send in Rosencrantz, though I'm sure he'll be likely to annoy Aeonus, just because he's rather...lost puppy-dog.) The hummingbird wandered towards the shop, hands pushed into his pockets. He was much less stressed than the last time he had come here, because Guildenstern had been found. Which made it so much better to be here, knowing that his companion was here as well. Why they came here and what they were to do with themselves, well...that was a different story.
But there was no reason that he couldn't enjoy himself while they were figuring it out!
Hmm. There was a figure blocking the door. A very...interesting figure. o_o Like nothing Rosencrantz had ever seen before. Walking down the path to the shop, he stopped somewhere behind the lamia, he simply stared for a few moments before clearing his throat.Ivynian Aeonus: He could feel the air shifting with the newcomer's stride, and he moved aside the door to let him pass. Then the footsteps stopped.
His attention whipped with his white eyes to the stranger at his side, instinctively reaching out with his mind to note the other's feelings and surface thoughts, searching for any initial danger.
"yes?"
botticelliangel Rosencrantz blinked once or twice - his thoughts completely benign but rather...jumbled, a vaguely confusing mess - and then smiled affably, if somewhat confusedly. "Nothing, you were just...blocking the door" he motioned with his hands in a vague manner "but now you...aren't. So...I guess I'll just...go inside." He was trying hard not to stare - what was this creature - and only half-succeeding. Ivynian Aeonus: More rukus jumble. Aeonus' brow furrowed, and his lips lifted ever so slightly in a snarl, "Take a picture, you woudl find it easier to study. Never seen a serpent before? I promise you, snakes are quite common in the wild." botticelliangel The hummingbird flushed slightly, ducking his head. "I didn't mean to be rude." He apologized quickly. "It's just...well...yes, I've seen a snake before but not...as large as you. And they didn't talk. I mean, they were animals, not...like...you." He began to trail off, looking even more confused, and vaguely aware that with someone this snappish, maybe continuing to talk wasn't the best idea? Ivynian Aeonus: "Part of the difference, if you would organize your head and use it instead of just throwing ideas into uit and forgetting them, would be that I...like you, " he formed his hand and excentuated the words by pointing a stiff finger first to himself then to the other, "am an an-thro-po-morph. We are of a race, if not a phenotype. Lamia....the stuff of legends, love. And yes, we aren't beasts and can talk. Fancy that." botticelliangel Yes. Continuing to talk was a genuinely stupid idea. Not that he ever had any shortages of those. "Yes, but I..." And then he decieded that shutting his mouth and just walking inside was the best idea. He'd wanted to meet new people from this community - aside from the rabbit who spoke in the 3rd person, for some odd reason - but it wasn't going so well. "...Forgive me for disturbing you." He bowed ever so slightly because it was the polite thing to do, and began to enter the shop, headwings and large wings drooping slightly. Ivynian Aeonus: "You'd have had to interact on some level to have disturbed my, boy. You've hardly gotten a sentence out without falling over your own tongue. Do you have a name?" botticelliangel Rosencrantz frowned. If the...lamia...was so irritated in his presence, why did he want to keep talking? And yet, the man turned around. "Rosencrantz."
...Hah! It had been almost natural! This place must be having a good influence on him. Ivynian Aeonus: Perhaps civility could be attempted after all. Why were all the flakes here uncapable of initial grace?
He gently took the other's hand, and bent to it, lightly kisisng the base knuckle of his pointer finger. "Rosencrantz....an elegance to it, perhaps you should try poetry in iambic. My name is Aeonus, and I apologize for having blocked your way."
botticelliangel Rosencrantz was breifly stunned by the sudden aboutface, not registering the kiss, the compliment, the apology until a few moments later. The first thought that came to mind, prompted by that kiss was "I'mnotagirlI'mnotagirlI'mnot-", cut off just as quickly when he decided that he could merely add this custom, usually reserved for females or those of much higher rank, to the growing list of oddities that the region offered. After that, he responded in appropriate order. "Oh...thank you. And I shouldn't have been staring. It's a pleasure to meet you, Aeonus." He still wasn't sure what had brought about the change, which made him distinctly wary. But...it was better than having the lamia sniping at him, by far. Ivynian Aeonus: He straightened, looking the other directly in the eyes as he did through the screen of his bright hair. He backed away again, gaze not budging, "Well met then. Please, don't let me deter you further."
botticelliangel The gaze mesmirized him for a moment, and then the angel shook his head slightly, and began to start inside. "Thank you." After a moment's thought, he halted and turned back. "...Were you planning on coming in?" It was innocent, his eyebrows raised slightly. Ivynian Aeonus: So it was proven again, once disciplined they proved better for it. Not a single stutter...but feathers? Still prey. Pretty wings for the slaughter. As if that could happen here.
"I had considered it...There seem less about now." He looked at the door like it was poison. "Why not?"
botticelliangel Rosencrantz merely nodded slightly at him, and then opened the door to the shop and entered. His eyes swept it, as if he could possibly know anyone besides Guildenstern, and then he found a chair and sat in it, hands placed on his knees.
Well. Waiting. Again. Ivynian Aeonus: He pause dagain as his hand touched the door.
No, not today. That was enough again. Perhaps on the morrow you could move up to talking to two people in a day. :gasp: My cold heart beat, such a thought. Fine specimen, Aeonus....strong and so very full of endurance. One ******** featherboy and you've shot your wad of social for the day.
Mental chiding unsuccessful in providing a personal rally, he wilted. "Another time."
And he went, back to his keeper's shrine. botticelliangel Rosencrantz wasn't sure he was disappointed when Aeonus didn't follow him into the shop. The lamia confused him quite a bit, and scared him a little too. So...it was best that he didn't see him now.
But then there was someone else approaching him. Someone with ears and a tail, like Guildenstern! Peering up at Byron, he nodded politely, if somewhat warily. "Hello!"

RP_008 Choosing Company p. 8269 Ivynian For once in their relationship, Ivynian didn't have to force the issue of going outside of the Inari shrine. His charge was energetic, maybe even bordering manic, and had been for days. The lamia's constant rapport with his own mind made Ivynian's spin with questions, angst and evaluations so much that constant meditation was the only answer to avoiding a migraine. When they got to the door, the ninetail gave the serpent a gentle pat on the shoulder, "I'll be going directly to the kitchens for some matcha. If you need anything, you can call me, but please...use your mouth." Aeonus: Ivynian had mentioned earlier that the shop had retreived, saved, found and otherwise come by many new members of the elemental race. It was a good opportunity to get a look at the new blood, evaluate possible pack members and also-
Perhaps some of the others woudl be there doing so as well? Two names especially came to his mind, and the Lamia blushed at the latter. He nervously ran a clawed hand through his bangs and folded his wings neatly against his back, following his master through into the shop. Frost Pata lover  The young Lamia moved slowly into the shop. he was alone this time, no child in tow, but that did not make the strong young snake any less nervous in the shop. There was allways the chance that the Beta would be here, yes, that mysteriously attractive snake that he had met.
'Frost, you are being a fool, the chances of him being here are..' He cut himself short as he caught the other's scent in the air, a scent that was filled with power, and magic. He looked about for Aeonus, his magenta obs finally resting on the other. "Aeonus.." His voice was soft, a near whisper as he moved trying his best not to draw attention to himself.
When they had met prior, they had shred words, perhaps even flirted, but did that truely happen? or was it a game? He sighed and stopped afew feet from the elder lamia, his eyes skimming over his leader's form for but a second, but long enough to draw a blush to his face that he tried despiratly to hide. 'Aeonus...' he spoke the name in his head this time, knowing the other could sense his thoughts, he hoped he would try this time.Ivynian  Aeonus: He startled, his thoughts and awareness coming into collision in reality. As if the name had been a spell and a summoning, he could feel the mind he had once touched enter the room. His heart stopped as the otehr drew near and he held his breath.
Awareness boiled over and his senses felt sharpened painfully for any notice of the powerful son of the alpha. He had been right. He was here. The cord of his awarness turned tight like a bowstring. He had taken care with his appearance, wearing jewels and a cincher...other such decorations.
Frost...I had hoped to see you again....today, especially. He reached out, hearing his name on the others mind as if it were spoken. Did he truely mean to mindspeak? The Beta's breath did not return to him. Pata lover As he felt the tingling sensation of the toher's voice in his mind he shuddered, it had worked, really and truely. He sighed and gave a small nod. 'I'm very pleased that you wished to see me again, Aeonus...' He lifted his head his eyes locking on those of his beta.
He smiled a sincere smile, knowing that now that the other had his mind, there was no real point to speaking outloud. He had to admit that there was a certain intimacy with mind reading, a closeness, and privacy to knowing that no one could interfer with your conversation.
The Alpha's son stood strong against the empty eyes of the other, his mind calm, not the mass of nerves or confusion it had been in thier prior meeting. 'Was there a reason that you wished to see me today, or was it mearly for a personal wish, my beta?' his lips curled into a grin, it was a flirt, but a simple one, he kept his mental tone to neutral, not wanting to give anything away. Ivynian  Aeonus: The phrasing seemed suspiciously less like a term of respect and more liek a possessive....'my' Aeonus arched an eyebrow giving a mock chastiment, You take liberties, sir. You're company is the most pleasant I have encountered.
He couldn't come up with no excuse to gloss over 'pleasant'. A personal wish. With so many new faces, I thuoght is beneficial to come and see if any new serpents had been brought, and it seems to be so. I wonder if once they get their bearing if they will prove as willful as all the others.
I must admit I am at a loss of what measures to use to bring the otehrs to heel. I do not want to erase their minds or force control compliance...they are draining like little else to me and ill-fitting to the task. I do not want to squelch their creativity adn vibrance...merely to unify them. He switched teh subject partially, though it was still one on which he wanted the otehrs opinion. Frost felt steady...logical. A good temper he was ceratin to what his keeper called his 'volatile and venemous' temper.
Pata lover (( Temari: scream Wait till my brothers come..just wait..*stands with arms crossed, glaring at him still* stare )) Frost felt the others sharp words to his tease and qickly fell back, his mind withdrawing slightly, putting up barriers. He was suddenly all business. The other spoke of unifying the Lamia pack, it was a hard task, and one that most would not agree to easily. The beta had a hard task ahead of him. 'I think you will do best to win their trust, sir.
Those that cannot trust you will not follow you, that is how I see things. We are of a race that is very...' He thought for the word, his mind winding over the correct choice. '...sceptical of rule. They will need a good reason to follow your rule other than the fact that you are indeed Beta.' He said the title as it was ment to be said, with power and respect.Ivynian Aeonus: The felt the other recoil, and wilted inside. Apparently his mockanger tone hadn't come across....he hadn't seriously been angry. He was no good at this. He shifted his jaw and but into his tongue reproachfully.
I...must say it puts me at more of a loss. Earn their trust? The only thing they seem to trust is utter and complete freedom. There is no strife or war against which to prove myself, no need for food or shelter where leadership would be proven useful. ...the longer I am face with the idea of a pack, the less it seems feasible. They don't want protection or guidance, to better themselves or progress. What would they need it against?
He shook his head, I am sorry. I have a one track mind it would seem, focused entirely on one subject. Ignore it. There are better conversations. WHat brought you here, today? Pata lover Frost saw the other's confusion on his face. Had he been trying to hide it? Frost sighed outwardly and nodded over and over, showing he undrstood the beta's concern. 'They hunger for freedom, but to get that freedom they will also need guidance. Be a guide, help them when they have need, aid them.' He blinked in confusion as the other changed the subject yet again, he was all over tonight, as if his mind were trying to protect or guard himself as well as the young lamia.
'I...I have no reason to be here other than to get away. I felt the need to get out, so I came here. It seems to be a common gathering place.' He neglected to tell the other that when he entered he had sensed him, known he was there, but did he truely need to know that? Or had he allready figured that part out? Frost couldn't help but suddenly feel nervous, he didn't know how to act. Aeonus spoke both business and pleasure, he did not know which face to keep up.
