Stay the Night [Private]

(((A get-to-know thread for Drifty's Osic and my Circa, don't laugh at my title I couldn't think of anything >c ))


Circa Da'ei Xemvoi

It had gotten close to sundown now, and she had spent a whole day out again. It felt nice, to at least get out after she had that lazy spell. Well it was diffidently gone now, because even after a day of hunting and padding around the veldt, she still felt very energized and active. She wished Brynneth's cubs would grow fast, so she'd have some little somethings to be active around with.

Though now, she decided she had been on her paws quite a bit today, and perhaps it was a good idea to settle for a bit, least till sun-down. As she came upon one of the various steam pools, she gave a yawn and walked up to it's edges, letting her front paws sink into the warm water. If there was any sort of ache, it would be quickly terminated in the steam pool's warmth. But just as she felt nice and relaxed, her ears swiveled. There was someone around, familiar by far, so it wasn't really much of a surprise, and inwardly she hoped she'd have someone to sit by this time...

"Hello?"

[drifter]

Osic Donovan

Crimsoned wings bristled a bit as the Donovan came to a slow land, paws skipping over the ground at a somewhat jog. Finally he came to a standstill, violet's looking about him before his steps were taken.
A cooling breeze ruffled Osic's fur; carrying with it a tinge of warm and a familiar scent. The decision to approach was not a hard one. It seemed the young "prince" was always eager for some sort of company.

"Hello?"

Ears perked as Osic neared the Muertrier female. "Hey." His greeting wasn't very formal but then again when was he ever truly proper. A friendly smile spread over his maw, ears slowly relaxing to a half layback. Wings shuffled before settling tightly to his ebony sides. Osic gave a small wince as he sat, letting the very tip of his tail dip gently into the warm waters. "Whatcha doin' here all alone?"

[TheWG]

Circa Da'ei Xemvoi

"Oh, hey Osic!"

The sight of a friendly Osic made her smile warmly as well, god when was the last them they interacted? They had played as cubs, because they were near the same age and born around the same time, but she was sure since Carnal's little fit he would give her the cold shoulder for some reason. Luckily, it didn't appear that way at all, and she was relieved that her old friend was coming to sit with her this time.

"Heh, this is sort of a daily thing..." She said, looking a bit embarrassed for a moment admitting she was mostly alone, but it turned back into a friendly smile again and her baby blues looked at him curiously. "What have you been up to lately? Trouble?" she ended with a playful smirk.

[drifter]

Osic Donovan

"Dont say that. It's almost depressing." Head tilted, face grinning. "Besides, I dont see how you can always be alone. Aren't you always with Brynn. I figured you'd be the one all over those new cubs of hers." Tail lifted from the water. For a moment he watched as the droplets fell back, rippling through the steam. Slowly he drapped his tail over a paw after giving it a few drying flicks.

"What have you been up to lately? Trouble?"

Grin widened, purple catching blue. "Trouble? Me?" A playful snort was given. "Never!"

[TheWG]

Circa Da'ei Xemvoi

She giggled, feeling happier at his response, and grinned back. "Well of course I enjoy the cubs, and Brynneth, but it is quite exhausting to always be around cubs... So much energy!" She said, giving a slight huff in example and gesturing her paw. Well, it was true, they where exhausting yet she enjoyed them greatly, but that was the problem at hand. She was always around Brynneth, she didn't want to feel as if she only had one friend in the whole pride, the more the merrier! Plus her friend was busy, she was a mother now, Circa knew it would be a bit different. "Plus, I don't want to feel like I'm bothering her... New mothers need their space."

"Trouble? Me? Never!"

She snorted back, raising an eyebrow at his sarcasm. "Okay, better yet, what trouble have you and your sister been getting into lately?" With a sudden thought, she realized with quite a shock to herself; didn't he have more siblings too?... It was odd how she had never processed that before. Nonetheless, it was nothing to bring up in a playful conversation.

[drifter]

Osic Donovan

Not having known Brynneth all to well her cubs weren't of major concern. He had seen them now and again and he would admit that they were indeed cute little buggers. "Getting too old to keep up now are we?" Came his response to her mention of the cubs having too much energy. A simple nod followed after her next words.

"Hmm.." Come to think of it, when was the last time he and Carnal had spoken? To him it seemed his sister was becoming somewhat distant. Throwing it off with a shrug Osic ran his tongue over his whiskers once. "Alright. I'll give in. I am a bit of a hell raiser, huh?" A playful snicker emitted passed his teeth. "But actually, I don't get into that much trouble. Usually only by Cocaine. He just doesn't appreciate that I appreciate the funner side in life... Especially when it come to training."

[TheWG]

Circa Da'ei Xemvoi

The red 'ess raised an eyebrow, and smirked. "Me too old? Never!" she said with a playful mock towards his previous statement, but come to think of it... She really was maturing quite a bit. Circa hardly ever remembered how active a cub she was until now, and she had indeed slowed, to a slight disappointment.

But she let it roll off her shoulders and once again had eyes on Osic, and she gave a sort of chuckle after he mentioned him being a hell-raiser. The cubs in their nature, including the captain's and leader's, where all once considered trouble-makers, even the playful Circa. But now, all of them where older, and things where changing; though Carnal could still be considered so, since she was quite the snapper. Maybe Kururu too, just for being himself.

"Yeaah, Cocaine's... Funny about things." She said, agreeing with him and laughing a bit. "I enjoy the funner side of things too, it makes training easier to remember if you find some fun in it. Though, I haven't really trained with the others much, nor Cocaine, probably why he hasn't acknowledged me yet."

[drifter]

Osic Donovan

Her mocking had the male laughing so hard he almost fell over. It took him a moment before he was willing to reign himself in. Tail lashing about happily, Osic spread his wings wide as he took a calming breath.
As he tried to become focused once more, ears twitched as the maroon 'ess spoke. "Why is that?" He mused aloud when she finished. "How come you never train with the rest of us? And how on Earth do you get away with it? I for one would get my hide handed to me if I refused to show up at a session."

[TheWG]

Circa Da'ei Xemvoi

She almost lost it when Osic began to laugh, almost hysterically, and she tried not to let herself loose it too. Any joke was made 100% better when the person laughed, it only made the situation funnier. Circa tried to breath too, when he did, but once she set off laughing her giggles would echo for a while.

After listening to Osic, and gathering her composure again, she sighed in relief before answering. Unsheathing one claw, she held it to his nose for a second, "That's because you, my friend, are important. So yeah, Cocaine would rip your tail off in a second." She smirked at the thought, though humorous as it was, Cocaine was physically capable and would not give two shits if he ripped a young'n's tail right off. "But he's never confronted me, I've never been informed of them, and when I do- it's only to figure out I've missed them. I train with father though at times... I mean, Zalui."

[drifter]

Osic Donovan

Ears perked and twitched to the sounds of Circa laughing. A bigger smile practically covered Osic's face.
Eyes widened, nearly crossing, and he almost fell backward into the water as her claw swiftly made a presence toward his face. Immediately he lifted his tail some and gave it a good look over. With a childish chuckle his tail flopped back down and he nodded. "That would be one helluva sight to see!" He could simple picture Cocaine hanging on while Osic tried to fly away. The inward thought gave him a huge smirk.
Osic tilted his head after awhile. "What is it with parents around here? Cocaine and his lot, Zalui and you, my parents!" Though his father had a n excuse, his mother certainly did not. "It's like we aren't evven their kids.. Just simply things they made for fun or by mistake.." He gave a snort and a slight shake of his head. "One day when I have kids," he picked up again loudly; proudly, "They're gonna know I love them. They'll know I'm proud of them. They aren't gonna be ashamed of who I am or be afraid to come to me or not want to call me their father!"

Circa Da'ei Xemvoi

Circa continued to giggle as he went on, she hadn't laughed like that in ages! It was refreshing. Her tail wrapped around her paws as she sat and listened to him, her ears perked in interest as he started talking about their parents. "Yeah, bunch'a old grumps." She said with a smirk, thinking of her father mainly out of the three. Hey, he wasn't Cocaine though! Funeral seemed like a good father to Osic when they were cubs, or she had that impression, but the leader was... Quiet nowadays. She pondered, and touched her tail to Osic's, with a playful chuckle. "Aww c'mon Osic your parents love you... I'm sure mine cares too, somewhere down there."

Suddenly he spoke loudly, and she was more than inclined to listen; her ears perked once again in interest. She smiled at Osic's statement and looked up for a moment to imagine, it warmed her heart in an odd way to think of herself ever having cubs. She hadn't thought about anything besides the pride and keeping tabs on Brynneth's cubs until now, and she couldn't agree more with Osic. "Same here, I'd never want them to feel unwanted... I'd want them to remember their mother as loving... And strong! A good role-model, and I'd be there for them, always." Her voice sort of drifted and her smile faded into thought the more she said, she was thinking now; about her own mother. She hadn't known what it was like to have a mother per say, she didn't even remember what she looked like anymore, and she wouldn't want her cubs to feel the way she did... Alone.

Then what Osic said clicked, and she cocked her head towards him. "Osic... Do you feel that way about Funeral?" It was a personal question, she would understand him not wanting to answer it, but the curiosity was hard to keep at bay.

[drifter]

Osic Donovan

Her agreement made his chest swell all the more.
"Not necessarily." Came his response about Funeral. "He's a leader. I get that. I understand that he doesn't have alot of time on his paws for personal things. I guess.." His head tilted slightly. "I guess I was meaning all the fathers here in the Veldt in general.. Well.. Most of them. Caine, Kodiac and Jasper seem really into their cubs." The male fell silent for a moment as thoughts swelled. Eventually he looked at Circa again with that trademark grin of his. "Wasn't meaning to get all deep and stuff on ya." His tail gave a flick of content as he shifted his position around a bit.

[TheWG]

Circa Da'ei Xemvoi

She giggled a bit, and shrugged. "Hey it's ok, a bit of depth in this place don't hurt." Circa said, smiling. For a moment, it even softened with her gaze. "I don't mind the deep conversations... It's kinda nice actually. To see someone with feelings for once." She held the look, for moments even forming a purr, before she realized she was probably looking goofy. Shaking it off, she shifted as well, but continued cooly. "Well I'm sure you'll make a good father, but you're a bit young to be worried about it aren'tcha?." She mewed, lifting a paw off the ground to nudge his shoulder playfully. "We're practically cubs ourselves!"
