Night blankets the villages south of the wall. While the pacifistic Gagarians are huddling around what may be the last bowls they'll ever smoke, the Hildnr are preparing to march and ride out in force come the dawn. Thankfully, you're far enough north that the nights are a hell of a lot longer than normal. Looks like you have about fourteen hours to kill.

You'll probably want to make a stop at the armory to get equipped, at some point, but there's also a fair amount of feasting happening where a bard is telling tales of the Hildnr's victorious history. The Blood Queen is in attendance, accepting oaths and blessing the warriors.

Of course, if what you'd rather do is train, the training yards are open, and there's a small barracks hall that's been outfittedwith clean furs and a roaring fire so you can rest before unleashing your bloodlust. Thoughtful!

Just don't forget: you still gotta find the blood champion, save the helpless stoner fratboys, and make it over that fuckhuge wall before lunchtime tomorrow.

[ ears twitch. ]

[ whining yip. ]

[ i draw the line at bathing myself with my tongue. ]

[fairyvagina]

Well if the boys do their job, you'll be back to normal in no time.

[thisbit]

[ snorts and licks the last bit of fish off her fingers. ]

[ it's not just them. we've all got a part to play. you're not planning to sit out, are you? ]

[fairyvagina]

Yeah...right. wur ha

[or whatever]

[idly cleans fishy hand with an old rag

[thisbit]

[ first time he put his tongue on you and it was over smoked salmon, sookie.
that's not his thoughts that's just a bracket, calm down. ]

[ flops forelegs over her lap and looks up at her. ]

[ what do we know about the blood champion, or whatever that is? you keeping up with that? ]

[fairyvagina]

Haven't really been scoobyin' around. All we know is that she's missin' and she's important to them. Haven't really picked up on their thoughts, not that I can't, just nothin' really stuck out.

[on the list of ruined firsts with werewolves]

[sets rag down and pokes at the tufts of fur between his toes. those are some mighty big claws you have]

I'd think maybe the Blood Queen might offer a good insight, but you can't get near her. I'd need to be able to touch her to get a look.

[thisbit]

[ shifts around. that shit tickles. ]

[ lays head down on legs and rolls eyes up to watch her. ]

[ a look? like, at the champion's face? ]

[fairyvagina]

[leans back on one hand and rests the other along his nape]

Yeah, spurn some memories maybe. It's easier readin' someone altogether when I have contact with 'em.

[thisbit]

[ finding this position ridiculously comfortable. even if he is missing some key parts.
]

[ breathes a big wolfy sigh and thinks about it. the queen is pretty heavily guarded. but what about her guards? wouldn't they have been likely to have met the champion. ]

[fairyvagina]

[has that weird moment where she realizes he's still a person and that she's been petting the fuck out of him like any other dog]

[dont make it weird sookie you're making it weird]

[...slowly continues]

Well, yeah I guess it's worth a try. Maybe easier now that everyone's drunk as balls.

[thisbit]

[ it's not weird. is it? he has a tail, and it's wagging. i'd say you're in the clear. ]

[ and it's not like you're a troll, or anything. you're a fairy. there's bound to be some kind of advantage you can use here. even if it's your good looks. ]

[fairyvagina]

[stops for real this time and looks down at him]

I'd really rather there be more to me than my fae beauty, but thanks.

[note taken, but not very well]

[thisbit]

[ what? what. it's not really a fae thing, it's just how your face looks. even your tooth gap is kind of charming. ]

[ drapes one giant paw over his eyes. ]

[ forget i thought that. ]

[fairyvagina]

[slowly pulls out from under paws and onto her feet]

Yeah this is gettin' kinda weird, even for me.

[that's saying a lot]

[mostly not used to being awk flirted at by a wolf. much would rather him do it in his man form]

I'm gonna go....investigate.

[wur ha]

[grabs coat and near stumbles out]

[thisbit]

[ ...are you there god? it's me, derek. ]



[ you can open up that hole in the ground anytime, man. thanks. ]
