Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eleos was having a pretty good day so far, none of the more ill tempered members of her mothers pack had come around to ruin her good mood and so she'd been able to hum and sing her way through the days activities in good spirits. She honestly couldn't the point of spending your day in a cranky temper - it seemed like such a drag, and there were better ways to get what one wanted from the packs workers. Eleos firmly believed in the sugar over vinegar method of handling the packs slaves and while she would never dream of telling her mother or any of her sisters she had actually become quite fond of several of them. fond enough that she went out of her way to say hello to them when she spotted them at work.

She might have lended a paw to help them with their chores but several such attempts had ended with highly embarrassed or flustered slaves so she'd stopped - it seemed that when a sister stepped in to help them they thought they weren't doing a good job and got upset, since Eleos hated upsetting others it had been a good reason to merely give them a few happy words rather then some help.

Today she had finished making her rounds and was heading back to the more central den location with a cheery bounce to her step and a tune on her lips. perhaps when she got back a nice meal would be waiting or perhaps her father would be around - he always had interesting stories to tell her. in any case she was sure she would be able ot find something pleasant to do with the rest of her time.

Eleos realized she should have called out to the slave when he failed to see her and actually bumped into her - it was embarrassing really - that she was so accustomed to them noticing her and moving out of her way that the thought of calling out hadn't even crossed her mind until afterwards. She'd simply expected him to notice her approach and move accordingly.

And now the poor wolf looked so distraught that Eleos felt bad, she recognized the wolf as one of Iosef's sons but she wasn't sure exactly which one it was since he'd had twins and the two were close together that Eleos was generally afraid to speak to them by name for fear of mixing them up and looking silly - or hurting one of their feelings. She knew that they were quite different in temperament but again she could never recall which was which. "No need to apologize" She quickly assured him "I should have called out to let you know I was behind you"

Eleo's knew that it would be completely pointless to keep telling him that the accident had been partially her fault as well and continued insistence of that fact would just lead to larger and larger apologies on his part. Sometimes it was just easier to let them think they were at fault - even if she did feel bad about it.

"Hurt?" She questioned the male with a slightly quizzical expression "No..no it was just a little bump, nothing that could cause injury" She told him, maybe she would have been hurt if he had whacked her with that big branch he was attempting to drag across the path but getting bumped by him hadn't done anything more then startle her. he was lucky thought that it had been her whom had come across the path rather then say Varia or Thaleia or Enyo..any of those three would have torn his ear off for such thing. "Are you able to drag that large branch all by yourself?" It looked rather large and surely the task could be don quicker with two wolves working on it.

As soon as he said that he was glad she wasn't hurt Eleos felt rather remiss - she had not yet asked him if he had been wounded in the collision, surely he hadn't been and sweeping him quickly with her gaze she couldn't detect any hint of an injury but it would still be polite to ask - and just because he was a slave Eleos felt no need to be rude to him. "Thank you for your concern" She told him sincerely "And you..are you injured in any way?" She questioned him "You can tell me if you are - it will be alright" She encouraged him because he seemed the shy sort and those ones never liked to admit they were hurt to the sisters.

But he was already asking if she required him for anything else...like they were want to do and Eleos shifted her paws slightly, she couldn't think of anything off hand but perhaps she would stick around to make sure he got the large branch out of the pathway before another sister came along to harry him "No, not at the moment - but why don't I stick around and keep watch for you? You'll get the branch out of the path faster if you don't have to keep stopping to see if someone is coming" She pointed out.

"Good" She replied "I wouldn't want to be responsible for hurting one of my own pack" She told him - which she reflected might be a rather unwarrior like thing to say but Eleo's had never really seen the point in proving her strength by terrorizing those lower then her. she knew what she could do thank you very much and she was secure enough in her abilities to not have to point them out all the time. She sometimes wondered if some underlying insecurities was the reason behind some of her packs ill temper...not that she'd ever admit that out loud of course. That would likely just result in a fight and mother had enough fighting to deal with already what with Orithia and Enyo;s recent brawl.

"Me? Oh no..I was just taking a walk honestly..nothing important going on at the moment" She replied as she glanced towards the rocks her indicated and then stepped away a bit so that he could move the branch without worrying about bumping into her again. She debated helping him drag the branch - but that would probably get him all flustered so she simply did as she said she would and sat down beside the path to keep an eye out for any more wayward travelers.

Eleos did her best not to get Perdicas upset or overwhelmed by her presence, some of the slaves rather liked it when a sister was around to look over their shoulders and guide them about their work..but others just got fretful and worried about it. Eleos wasn't sure which category Perdicas was in as she didn't know him well enough - but she was leaning towards putting him in the second group.

Her thoughts were interrupted however when the patchy wolf suddenly whined and glancing over she noted that he'd managed to drag the branch away but was now worried about something on the ground. Had he found a snake? Or a spiders nest? Standing up she padded towards him "Whats wrong?" And then she spotted the birds nest - well at least it wasn't a snake..she didn't want to have to deal with that. "Oh...." She stated, tilting her head up to glance into the tree they must have fallen from 'its a wonder they weren't all broken"

"If we leave them on the ground snakes will get them" Of that Eleos was sure..of course there was another option as well and grimacing a bit she added that bit to the conversation "Or Yakut will find them and crack them open to see what sort of omens such obviously lucky eggs contain" Neither option was really a good one but squinting up at the tree Eleos wasn't entirely sure they could get it safety back into the branches again. Maybe it would be best to just let nature take its course and leave them on the ground...but Perdicas looked quite worried and so Eleos knew they had to try something else the slave would fret about the eggs the entire day and night. She wasn't even sure that the parents would come back to the nest if they did get it back up in the tree after wolves had touched it. Birds were often not overly fond of wolves.

"If only mothers cat were around' she stated after a few moments "Cats are far better climbers...but I suppose we ought to try something, I'm sure we could reach the branches if we jumped but the eggs would likely fall out and I doubt they'd be lucky a second time around..maybe if one of us stood on the others back and then used the tree to balance on our hindlegs we could reach?"

Eleos thought this whole situation might be a bit unseemly if someone were to stumble across them - but it was for a good cause she supposed so she was willing to take that chance. Perdicas seemed like nice enough male too and somewhere in the back of her female mind she thought him rather handsome as well with his patchy bold markings, although she'd keep that thought to herself.

Hoping that she wouldn't prove to be to heavy for the other wolf - though she wasn't overly large herself and he seemed like a sturdy enough beast - Eleos clambered up on the other wolf's back. There really was no dignified way to go about it and after a bit of huffing and 'sorry's' when her paws slipped she thought she had herself stable enough. "Alright, hand up the nest" She asked him and when he did so she carefully stood up to brace her front legs against the trees trunk, the action caused her to wobble a bit but she caught her balence again without dumping either herself or the eggs and hopefully without scratching up Perdicas back to terribly much and managed to place the nest in a nice little place in the branch before hopping down and peering upwards to study her work from the ground "I think that will do" She stated confidently..it looked stable enough anyways.
