A million dreams are keeping me awake Briar nodded slowly, wondering how they could manage that. What if someone was born and there was no Tafa? It was all so fascinating and the curiosity was burning inside of her to know more. "Not knowing is like torture!" She said with a little whine, "I wish there was a way we could know...like...like someone gets picked from each pack and they swap places for like a season to learn and then they go back to their own pack and share what they know." She was spit balling and wishing for a perfect world where something like that could ever be possible.
Maybe this secrecy was something that the Au'Dar relied on to make themselves seem more intimidating, if so that was a clever idea. It was all such a wonder to her and her young mind.
"Oh I don't know about knowing best!" Briar laughed, shooting him a lopsided grin, "I'm still an apprentice, my mentor would know best...even though he yells at me for running outside of practice all the time." She snickered a little, she couldn't help it, she needed to burn off energy and she wanted to be the best hunter when it was her time to join the group. She wanted to be the best hunter ever, which mean she needed to do a lot of practice. "Wait," she stopped in her tracks, suddenly feeling nervous, "are you saying they could raid us like...right now?" Her gaze darted back and forth as if they were going to be accosted right at that moment. "What do we do if that happens?" |

Now that was an idea Ramir loved. As an official thing, he'd be under pack protection and hopefully not get murdered. If it was something like that, he'd be willing to join in. It sounded fairly not dangerous. He sighed, wistful, "If only. With how the Sanzin and Au'Dar act, it seems unlikely they'd agree to that." The Au'Dar, especially, were secretive. He wasn't an Au'Dar, but he thought that if an Au'Dar was told that plan, they'd faint from the shock. They didn't allow outsiders within six feet of their borders. Letting them in was probably unspeakable.
[break][break]
Ramir had a quizzical look, thinking it over, "I suppose so." Either way, they both knew better than him. He knew little of the fast-paced world of hunters. All he could offer was timid agreement. With the amount of energy the hunters seemed to need, Ramir could never imagine himself ever being one. He wasn't incredibly happy as a knight, but he was content so to speak.
[break][break]
He paused when Briar stopped. Ramir hesitated. He didn't want to make her nervous or worry her, but he didn't want to lie to her either. The brute's eyes shifted downward, guilty. Maybe he shouldn't have brought it up. If he hadn't though, if a raid had happened, that would have been worse. "Yeah," he said. Ramir raised his head, trying to be reassuring, "Don't worry if one does. I'll send up a signal howl. The other knights are close by. They'll be here quick when they hear it." Whether the raid was big or small, all they had to do was chase them off. "A raid probably won't happen." With the weather, he doubted the Sanzin had the wolves or the strength to spare to run a raid. At least, he hoped so.

A million dreams are keeping me awake "There's no harm in hoping!" Briar responded with a cheerful smile, maybe not in their life time but maybe in the future things could change. maybe the Au'Dar would open their borders but as for the Sanzin? That may take some extra time but that didn't stop the young girl from dreaming of the day where the packs could live in peace, as tenuous as it could be.
Her mind buzzed from one subject to the next as another question popped into her head, making her look at Ramir with her own quizzical look. "What's it like being a knight? Besides all the patrols."
She nodded along to what Ramir said, believing him whole heartedly but she worry still clung to the back of her mind. Even if the other knights were close by how long would it take for them to come? She didn't know how to defend herself and she didn't think it would be fair if Ramir had to defend the two of them, especially if they were out numbered. "I hope a raid doesn't happen." She said, but her eyes still darted around where they were, still uneasy.

"I guess not," he said with a tilt of his head and an awkward smile. Briar's optimism was a bit too optimistic for him. Like a ray of sunshine after an eternity in the caves, it was both welcoming and scorching. Ramir was far more pessimistic. After everything that had happened between the packs, it seemed unlikely that the rift could be mended so easily. He doubt it would happen in his lifetime.
[break][break]
Briar's next question made him squirm. He wasn't a very good knight. The small knight was rather poor in a lot of the skills that made a knight, well, a knight. "Umn," he started, "We guard the den site." Other knights found the activity dull considering they were just sitting in one place all day. Few dangers, the Sanzin namely, came this close to their den. But, true to his nature, it was Ramir's favorite duty. Not only was it the least strenuous, he had an excuse if he fell asleep during it. It was just so dull after all.
[break][break]
Other times, it was far less enjoyable tasks. "We fight off the cougars and bobcats and other stuff." He usually did his best to avoid those battles at all costs. It was way to dangerous and way to scary. He wanted nothing to do with them. That and he wasn't much use in battle anyways seeing as he was a wimp and a weakling. "There's a lot of training," he said with a grimace. Practice, practice, and more practice. They had to keep their skills sharp so they didn't falter when it counted. Everything was just so exhausting as a knight. Why, oh why did he had to be one.
[break][break]
He tried for a reassuring smile, nervous as he was, "One won't." Oh how he hoped a raid wouldn't happen. It would take everything he had to protect himself and Briar. It was times like this where he wished he was stronger. But his efforts to improve physically had never been rewarded. Try as he might, he wasn't made for the battlefield. "I'll protect you if one does." Ramir wasn't sure how reassuring hearing that from him was though, but he had to try. He had to protect his packmates.

A million dreams are keeping me awake As their talk switched to the duties of the knights the prior subject dropped from Briar's mind. It would be a fifty fifty chance of her remembering the topic later due to how her mind seemed to flit about from idea to idea, forgetting the oldest once the newest came round.
She listened intently, her eyes widening a little at the idea of fighting off something like a cougar. As a hunter their focus was the prey and the best way to single one off from their herd, of course there was threat of another predator taking their kill but it was so rare that it was yet another thing that was easy for her to forget until facing that moment. Her head nodded when he mentioned the training, "we do a lot of training too, but nothing like what you have to do I'm sure." She said, she was young but not dim enough to forget that each role held a purpose and had their own demands that presented different challenges she may not have to worry about.
Briar didn't catch his being nervous, his smile easing the tension in her shoulders just a bit. When he said that he'd protect her the young girl felt herself warm a little but was unsure what that meant. Instead of any forms of feeling she credited it to indigestion. "Well thank you! Let's just hope nothing happens and we can have a good rest of the day." She said cheerfully, a smile tugging up her lips. "I have to admit, the idea of your rank kind of terrifies me, I don't think I could ever fight someone else, even if I had to." |

Ramir smiled nervously, "Probably." He had said that they trained a lot, but he also did his best to skip out on their training sessions as much as possible. Strangely, he felt guilty about it. Briar was really energetic. She likely never skipped training. Talking to her made him feel as if he wasn't doing good enough as a knight if he was always trying to evade his responsibilities. Suddenly, it felt like he was failing the pack he loved so much.
[break][break]
"It scares me, too," he answered with a bashful look. It probably wasn't a good thing to admit being a knight and after promising to protect her. They were in times of peace, and he had never had to fight another wolf. Even the Sanzin raids were usually thwarted without bloodshed. And in his patrols, he had yet to meet a dangerous loner. All of them had been friendly and open to speaking rather than fighting. "There isn't much fighting nowadays." It had been generations since the last big war. "I'm glad about that. I don't think I could fight another wolf." He'd likely lose anyways. His combat skills were bottom of the barrel.

His honest answer made Briar's ears prick up, he got scared but still took on the role? She couldn't deny herself from being impressed by his admittance, her eyes widening a little as she looked at him. "It's good there isn't a lot of fighting, but it kind of makes me worried at the same time, ya know? Like can it be peaceful all the time or is there gonna be a day where something happens and all the peace goes away?" That was worded as a question but in her mind she was making more of a statement than anything, her mind wandering briefly. "I don't know if I could fight another wolf either if I had to," she told him for if peace was ever shattered would that mean things would become dire enough that those of all ranks would have to battle in order to protect their land and pack?

It was unrealistic to think their peace would last forever as much as Ramir hoped it would. Life wasn't so simple as to be that kind. Concern folded his brow, "I hope not." At least, if the peace would end, he hoped it wouldn't occur in his lifetime. He didn't have the spine or physical ability to survive a war, much less a battle. Not the most reassuring words to hear from a pack's knight as someone meant to protect the pack, but Ramir wasn't a wolf to lie.
[break][break]
His eyes turned to the sky. He marked the location of the sun with a frown. It was about time they headed back. "Should we head back? This is about as far as I was to patrol today." If Briar wished to look around more, he would comply. After all that despairing talk, he didn't want to leave anyone alone. As much as he wanted to say nothing would happen, a bit of doubt had weaseled itself into his mind. Nothing would happen, but was that really true? [attr=class,punkitagsrule] Bri |

Briar nodded, hating these troubling thoughts. Was it so hard to ask for a life where there was peace and she was able to go out hunting without worrying about an ambush or the safety of the pack. Apparently so. She breathed a sigh of relief when Ramir asked if they should head back and nodded without hesitation. "I think that's a good idea, it is getting a little late." She said, glancing towards the sun. Normally her energy would be screaming at her to go and run but all the thoughts from the day seemed to drain her and the idea of a nap seemed more and more enticing.

He was reminded that he'd been skipping out on his duties when Briar found him. Maybe he could get away with it if he said he'd been guarding Briar. Or if he just didn't get caught until tomorrow they'd forget all about it. That meant he just needed to stay quiet for one night. That didn't seem so hard. Everyone would be asleep after all. "Let's head back." He had the trek back to figure out his plan, and he better make sure it was a good one.[break][break]
